Missed the Black Friday sale, still got what I wanted, cheaper yet. Refurb=just as good.

If the size if the internals is such an issue for Apple, one would think that the connector would be a good place to start. Any engineering types out there know what the total install footprint (including any controller chip) of the 15-pin connectio…

hill60- I'm very happy for you that you have so many choices in Australia. That is not how it works in the US. Apple does have an exclusive deal with AT&T in the US, as referenced twice in the paragraph you quoted. AT&T is unwillin…

Quote: "The reality is that this issue is being reported almost everywhere else as being a security problem Apple is responsible for." By carrier-locking the iPhone, they pretty much are responsible.

That would be nice, DRM free music from iTunes, but why degrade it by making it mp3? Why not just make the tracks DRM-free AAC? Even the crappiest cellphones today can play back AAC. I don't see the point. Anyone care to enlighten me? BTW- Regar…

I can't imagine a future phone product from Apple that doesn't have app store compatibility. I really don't expect to see it this year, if at all, and remember this whole thread is total speculation: "Analyst Mike Abramsky made the comments in a re…

Really if you wanted to get into *creative* speculation about something that would leave the competition wanting (not that it isn't currently), what about a new touch/gesture-based input device for Macs and Apple TV? Yes I know the iPhone can be use…

It wouldn't hold up any products due to be released soon. I know Apple has been pushing pretty fast to market lately, but there's no way that something still in R&D would be hitting the market in September. I know you young kids are all used…

One thing that hadn't occurred to me: Wasn't there talk of being able to use your iPhone or Touch as a media controller? Perhaps the smaller one is destined for that purpose; if this isn't just a load of hype, or an Apple leaker triangulation sche…

Smells like an asteroid, no? btw- I'd love to eat my words on this one.
