Yeah! A "wireless removable module"! Otherwise, FAIL!
I mentioned that a while back too. I really didn't give it much thought to the implementation though. I don't know much about the technology required but it would seem to me that the module part would have to have an antenna hanging off of it like my notebook 3G card because an internal antenna would have to be specifically designed for one wireless platform or the other. That antenna sticking out would be very contrary to the expected clean lines and elegant style of the rumored device.
surprise surprise surprise translation, no free web browsing of tv shows. That right there kills it for me and quote a few others I know. Why pay anything when the networks have all the shows online, most of the time. In fact. ABC sold season 5 of Lost this December now you watch all seasons 1-5 FREE online. If this device is tied to iTunes, it's not going to sell well, no wonder the networks said no, they have their own adverts online.
The only way this will fly different is if yo can watch content on the device via the browser and don't try and tell me of the iPhones success. A lot of people are pretty ticked of that in places like china they can watch TV on their phones and we can't even stream tomorrows Evette live and by the sound of it, it appears there will be no flash which is used by most steaming entertainment not youboob.

I hope Apple proves us wrong.
I don't understand how television shows is a deal breaker for you or anybody else. To want to watch shows on a 10in screen will be a tiresome chore. The cost of the tablet will easily get you a 37 - 50 HDTV with a HD antenna that will make watching television shows much more enjoyable.

it's impractical. People want to watch what they want to watch when they want to watch it.
you'd rather pay $0.99 for something not to own it. When you could own it for the same amount? Can you elaborate on that?
he doesn't see the point in storing an episode you'll watch once. but instead of just deleting it himself, he'd rather no one have that option and have Apple delete it for him.

Try telling that to Apple. Video downloads, whether tv or movie, are significant part of iTunes.
[CENTER]As far as your request, NO... I take it that 'for all the wrong reasons' is because you don't like it, and your being bothered by something so trivial/insignificant speaks more of your intolerance than anything I'm doing. [/CENTER]
Surely you're joking. There is not one person here that is not bothered by your ridiculous over use of the space you're provided. It's really unimaginable that you're allowed to do this repeatedly.
I had the iphone,then dropped it and went back to verizon. I miss the iphone,but am satisfied with the droid eris for now until verizon gets the iphone. The only thing i have to question about the rumors of verizon getting the iphone sometime this year is why would Verizon dump so much time and money(also bashing iphone&at&t) into droid then just do a 180 and start pushing the iphone.Most verizon customers will line up for the iphone and ditch there droids. They will be just tossing droid to the side. The average consumer is familiar with the iphone,its simple and proven a success.The droid is a good phone,but its still not simplified like the iphone.
I hope i'm dead wrong and apple announces on the 27th the iphone is coming to verizon , but something is telling me that Verizon won't be offering the iphone until 2011,2012

It's not just the TV companies. There is also a huge advertising industry -- running into tens of billions of dollars annually in revenues -- that will be in tatters if pricing/subscription alongthese lines takes off.
I think that the two are in cahoots.
This is what I mean by free tv online. Sure you can bittorent a show but watching it free online means a few :30 & :15 second ads. Much better then the 17 minutes of ads if you watched it the date it airs. Still, unlike the iPhone, I really hope we are not locked into iTunes only. Not sure about everyone else here but this on suppposedly image had like 75 iPhone icons. Very busy and cluttered. But you're correct in that ad agencies would a lot of money.

It had best be a wireless removable module, or at least a module that does BOTH UMTS & CDMA. I am TIRED of being locked to providers.

They are more than likely fakes, but are certainly impressive enough to deserve a mention.
Which is to say, I'd totally buy that :P

I can't wait for the iPhone to show up on Verizon. Four reasons:
1) It will free up my ATT bandwidth, and increases the possibility that ATT will bring iPhone tethering right away.
2) It will increase the value of my Apple shares.
3) It will kick sand in Droid's/Google's faces. I kinda like that.
4) It will choke up Verizon's network, and they'll have to do a major mea culpa.
You have a better chance of the Pope converting to Jewish before any of those four events happen.
I've searched around and noone seems to have mentioned these 2 videos:

It's called Judaism and any one of those four aren't so far fetched. All of them together, however, maybe not so likely.

that makes sense. It is hard to delete things on a Mac. -delete -then- -shift-delete
very very hard.
especially if you use secure empty trash !
