Nice clear review. The video's graphics showing the relative speeds and fan noise levels show these numbers better than a purely text or spoken description do. I also like that the text of the article is an accurate transcription of the video, or …

Interesting to see mention in official Apple documents of the "Telephone Interface Board" and a "Voice Recognition System". I may be wrong, but that Telephone Interface Board (and maybe the Voice Recognition System too) may be what was known as the…

Video (not perfect) is currently doable on iPhone OS 2, on both the iPhone 2G and 3G, if you jailbreak your iPhone and install an app like Cycorder, or "Video Recorder for 3G". These apps can do up to 15 frames per second, depending on the lighting…

As addabox posted on the first page of this thread: Apple is "not calling it an ultra-portable." So that would make all arguments about whether Apple is right in calling it an ultraportable, moot. Now, if they're aiming for the ultraportable mar…

Apple's stated support lifetime for their products is five years. Since some Macs running at 800 MHz were first manufactured less than five years ago this October, it seems Apple will be doing something they don't usually do (when was the last time …
