  • Oh wow, thanks for the link!! I can't wait to try that out tonight.

  • Hmm... 175 posts and not one person yet who has actually installed Boot Camp. I propose two possible explanations for this mystery: 1) Everyone who has tried has had their computer blow up and is thus unable to communicate with us, or 2) Anyon…

  • Quote: Originally posted by aegisdesign It'll ultimately scare Microsoft because it is the start of the end for them. Switchers now have no reason not to buy a Mac since they can run both OSs easily. Someone needs to be devil's advocate her…
  • You know, there's an old saying that if you try to make something idiot-proof, someone will come around and build a better idiot. I suppose you could choke on the earbuds too, maybe those lawyers should try to find out in the interests of public…
  • Quote: Originally posted by MovieCutter Very impressive for a $350 single unit system.. I'm no audiophile, but do you really think $350 is a good deal for what's essentially a large speaker? Beforehand, everyone was predicting the Boombox wou…
  • Quote: Originally posted by JeffDM Coldplay has been pretty well-known for a while, if they were underground, that would have been in 2004, I've seen mass media attention for them in several places. Also, Coldplay tickets were one of the bonuses…

  • I think maybe he's onto somthing and doesn't even know it. Think of how great it would be to combine a portable speaker set with a large screen. You could use it like a portable DVD player (iPod video player I mean) or a boombox.
  • While a horizontal orientation for a larger screen may be a good idea it would really cause it to loose the essence of an iPod, and the last thing Apple wants is for everyone to be running around saying "its just like a PSP!" I think what apple…
  • Check out my other post about the case I found: http://forums.appleinsider.com/showt...threadid=58672 I know it must seem like I'm a salesrep for ZCOVER or something, but it really is the perfect thing for the Nano. I also never removed the p…
  • A few of my observations here: 1) the fact that the Nano has a hi-res color screen makes people care much more about this screen than the ones on earlier ipods, and therefore people will be naturally more likely to notice small scratches on it, and …
  • -- After I placed the order for my Nano, I went on a wild goose chase for a decent case for it in order to prevent all the screen issues I've heard about. I discovered that both the Nano tubes as well as the BoxWave Flexiskin cases include no screen…
