What makes anyone think these are "Authentication chips" ? Lightning is a new interface, not USB. It's much more likely these chips adapt Lightning to USB. We'll know more when people get specs on the protocol, whether that be from Apple or by re…

I'm also hoping for functionality which listens for other alert sounds in the room. When a phone yells DROID a jagged saw blade should materialize from the monitoring device and slowly but certainly extricate the offending owner's heart.

I don't care much about SMS sounds, several choices already. I want a choice of email sounds. Ever been in a room with a slew of iPhones? "beep" everyone grabs their phone. But I agree, once there's a way to add new tones via the store, adding…

If it's so important for Microsoft's employees to use Windows Mobile phones, buy 'em the damned phones!

Apple should (and I think will) boost the current Apple TV product up a notch or two. But no chance of Apple shipping their own brand of TV. As others have indicated - it's a saturated market with little if any way of differentiating yourself. …

This guy's leaving is a downer for Apple and for indy developers. I'd talked to him (by email, as a developer talking to an Apple engineer) and he was always very helpful. And he's absolutely right about what he's saying. But at least that leaves…

I'm sure we'll get a mini report on sales and earnings at MacWorld the week prior. Especially if it's good info! (I was initially concerned the conference call was scheduled the week after MacWorld, but checked and confirmed last year followed t…

The moving bug is something Apple should address, and I'm sure they will. Although I'm with others that moving is generally a bad thing. The Seagate bug isn't directly Apple's fault. If it can be fixed by Firmware, Apple should make that availa…

I sure hope this whole mess results in a real SDK for the iPhone. That's Apple's only way to save face. Even if tomorrow Steve announced an SDK would come, but wouldn't be available for three months, people would (to some extent) calm down. I…

Is it just me, or does this guy have a lot of time on his hands to fly around the country to hang around Apple stores? (I'll admit I didn't read his research note, so maybe he himself didn't do all the watching...) He forgot one channel - Appl…

I'm just impressed the little iPhone can generate 10Mbps of traffic!

I'm curious if any education, government, or developer discounts will apply to the iPhone. I'm guessing no, but it might be worth waiting until the store reopens to see. I hope the online store does reopen 6pm locally so I can check before walking…

For Apple it's a smart move. They get the agency they're used to, and will craft a message consistent with other Apple products. For AT&T it's a smart move. If Apple wants to pay the $Millions$ for an ad campaign, why not let them? I'm sur…

Apple has $12B cash on hand. I think they should simply buy Marshall, TX and be done with this nonsense.
