I don't understand why none of the three 15" MBP models include high res and/or anti glare screens as a standard feature. I would think 15" MBP with better screen would be more popular than offering $2200 i7-based 15" MBP.

I find MicroCell, at least the pricing aspect, to be troublesome. MicroCell is unnecessary for those that get reliable reception at home. If those with unreliable reception buys this, AT&T has no incentive to fix reception for your home and poss…

Palm did many things right with Web OS, arguably the best looking UI out there. But it also screwed up royally on key fronts, such as choosing Sprint for the initial launch (should've been Verizon Wireless), not having an SDK or app store at laun…

If Adobe is serious about fixing Flash, it would:Implement auto update. Built-in Click2Flash like setting (that would show just a static title screen with a "play" button by default). "Automatic" quality setting that is more respectful CPU utilizati…

The last time I read paper newspapers, which would be about 15 years ago, I read mostly NYT. Each daily edition was less than 50 cents (I can't remember the exact price though). Anyway, I read perhaps 2-3 daily editions per week (rarely the overpric…

All Amazon needs to do is make their reader for iPad better than iBooks, and offer more variety of contents than iBookstore (e.g., comic books). Also integrate Stanza (which they acquired last year) into the reader. Forget this Kindle hardware busin…

Sounds good and much needed for Kindle to survive. But does an eBook reader need unlimited touch points? I suppose low cost is a big draw here, assuming it works as well without fuzzing out the display like Sony's touch-based eBook readers do.

Anyone know whether iBooks allow user's personal PDF and ePub collection?

I am sorry but Wi-Fi is not a solution, not even a short-term, to crappy 2G and 3G network. Connecting to AT&T's hotspot, even when you are nearby, is often hit or miss. I would actually welcome tier data pricing plans if it means lighter users,…

I just wish it won't require data plan from a wireless carrier. If it is $999 or less without the data plan, and it's at least half as good as I hope it would be, it's an automatic buy for me. If it's $499 or less with $60/month data plan, I would h…

In my experience in northern California, AT&T is probably 3rd worst carrier, behind Verizon and Sprint (T-Mobile is the worst as it bought some of the redundant towers from AT&T). But in terms of service, I think it is the worst. Almost e…

Once again, AppleInsider misuses the term "storage RAM". It is wrong to use "storage RAM" to describe flash memory because not all are based on "RAM" technology. iPhone uses NAND flash for storage, which is more similar to ROM (EEPROM) than RAM.

Agreed. $30 is way too high, especially when you consider that many high-speed ISP in the US have monthly data transfer cap. Whether Apple likes it or not, subscription TV service will be competing with Hulu and Netflix Watch Instantly. It must b…

While 3.0 is much needed with freshly improved UI, I am a bit underwhelmed. I was hoping for at least one major new feature, either USB external disk support, TV subscription, Netflix streaming, Hulu, or Vimeo. I am just guessing here, but I susp…

Very likely:iPod touch with camera, larger storage (16 to 64 GB), lower price. iPod nano with camera. iTunes 9 with app organization and Cocktail. iPhone 3.1 and iPod touch 3.1 OS update. Somewhat likely:iPod nano with larger storage (16 - 32 GB). …

Sorry, AT&T isn't getting any sympathy for me. All iPhone users are paying $30/month to AT&T on 3G data plan. And many aren't getting reliable 3G (and often, not even 2G) coverage. Perhaps that is intended to offset heavier users in well …

Given both RAW and Snow Leopard fiascoes, and frequency of pointless CS updates, perhaps Adobe should put expiration date on their software.
