    Actually you can do this with Logitech Revue today from an Android phone (there a share button in Androidn and Logitech's Revue app on your phone is something you can share with and the content appears on your TV (even when someone else is happily enjoying CSI).

    Good question. I don?t think so we have to assume there is something fundamentally different between the processes. The UV coating, which may not be needed on the iPad 2 with the way the components are laid out?

    Why yes, this stuff DOES all sound pretty silly sometimes.



    Isn?t black slimming? Maybe it?s all an illusion.

    It?s the proximity sensor to turn off the display and touch panel when you place it up to your ear on a call. It?s in the same location on the black iPhone, it?s just that you can?t see the space behind the glass as easily on that model.

    Can the phone stream YouTube to Revue?

    Probably a light leakage issue.

    Maybe this is why they are delaying making AirPlay a full open standard, so as to hold Google at bay for a while. It's not like they have a competing product with Google TV.

    Pretty easy to meet 'zero'.

    From the photo, the extra thickness appears to be in the glass. That would definitely affect the weight.

    The revue supports DLNA.

    0.2mm, huh? A typical sheet of 20 lb. "copy paper" is 0.004" or 0.1016mm. So, the white iPhone 4 is TWO SHEETS OF PAPER thicker than the black iPhone 4. Better alert the church elders!

    It seems like Apple's competition all have great hopes for dollars, where Apple has great passion for making rock solid products. I think the outcome of both approaches is apparent.

    Kind of silly to stream YouTube to your phone and then to the Revue when you could just watch it direct on the Revue.

    Do you think Samsung's ONLY product is their phone? Hello!!! They sell HDTV sets, home appliances like dishwashers, dryers, refrigerators, ranges and you think that Apple contributed to their drop in profit? Their mobile phone market is a tiny fraction of their business!

    You're name calling is totally inappropriate and uncalled for. A simple reminder of the scope of Samsung products would have sufficed.

    I do just that for Youtube on my iPad. I send it to my ATV through ATV. The reason is, it's easier to type on the iPad. Using the Remote to enter letters is a PITA.

    Not at all. Browsing anything on big screen TV can be clumsy. It's just an example anyway. Kind of curious this "share" button would function like AirPlay. I take your answer as a "no" then.

    That difference looks like light reflected on white surface and bad focus. I haven't seen one clear shot photo to prove it even exist. \

    It's not Samsung who made the customizations for the carriers. It's the carriers who made the customization from the Galaxy S world phone.



    Now that the Galaxy S made a name for itself in the market place, the customization would be at a lower level than before.

    I'm afraid Samsung isnt done with Apple just yet. They are probably looking through out their vast patent base to dig up even more patent infringments by Apple.



    Samsung is the worlds 2nd largest holder of patents after IBM. Apple isnt even on the top 10 list.
