  • Dave K is absolutely correct. The point of the online music industry is that there is no actual physical product. To distribute CD's would bely the beauty of this business model. Think about it: it's a purely digital market, with no distribution …
  • No camera, no internet, maybe bluetooth. I'm fairly confident that Apple knows the public expects a full screen ipod for the 6G. If they don't deliver, there'll be a lot of upset fanboys out there. What do you guys think about flash memory? Ap…
  • Surely! For posterity. The iPod represents a first step in a line of digital devices that literally changed the computing and entertainment industries forever. The first generation iPod, therefore, has an extraordinary cultural significance. I w…
  • Incidentally, I've now begun a search for one of my own. Anyone want to sell?
  • From looking at Amazon.com, it seems the first gen iPod has become quite the collector's item: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listi...824076-6761604 They didn't make very many; it was a very niche product back then, and VERY expensive for a po…
  • Upon reading this, I asked myself, "Should I be upset that Apple is making so much money off of this product? Is the consumer being taken advantage of?" I decided NO. I'm not upset. I didn't get an iPhone, #1, so this doesn't really affect me …
  • My guess is that it'll be a physically smaller phone without multimedia.
  • I believe some major changes are coming for the iPod. The iPhone will remain the king of the multimedia and communications portables; no other handheld will provide cellular capabilities, and I sort of doubt wireless connectivity as well. HOWEVE…
  • I feel that these are all possible, if not inevitable, software updates for the iPhone. Saying that these features are not going to happen because they aren't already on the iPhone after years of development is complete malarky; Apple likes to get …
  • Wow, this guy is extremely biased! The chart-o-value really takes the cake... just how is the Wifi "crippled"? The iPhone isn't even out yet... how does he know it won't have VOIP? Why does he include the fictitious early-termination fee; that se…
  • I'm pleased with the iPhone. But I won't get one anytime soon. It seems obvious to me that Apple will end up doing just what it does with all of its other products as time goes on: a) Improve/upgrade product b) Decrease price c) Introduce a sma…

  • Yay! This is a heartening amount of discontent. I'm glad to get a couple of amens.
  • Well said, Dave. I do, however, think that this is a revolutionary time for technology. Big changes are coming, and I think Skype might be a part of those changes. Cell phone providers are going to need to evolve along with the industry, and that…

  • This is a heartening announcement. Unfortunately it doesn't make me any richer. It would take me a month to save up enough expendable income to buy an iPhone at the current price, and the data plan would eventually make me go bankrupt. If only th…

  • Does anyone know if it's possible to get the apple tv to play from a video_ts folder or disk image? I'd say the machine itself is probably fast enough to play a DVD movie... apple just hasn't bothered with this because of the legal implications.
