  • According to this http://www.techshout.com/gadgets/200...-discontinued/ article, Apple have no plans to revive the iPod Hi-Fi. Quote: However Engadget got a little PR quote on this, where Apple stated, “Apple has decided to focus priorities on the …

  • The artwork available on Amazon is generally of too low a quality. You want at least 300x300 for decent, full-screen viewing in iTunes, preferably 500x500.
  • The cloth that comes with the iPhone (and presumably the Touch) is crap. Get a decent lens cloth from your local optician or camera store. I agree with KingOfSomewhereHot: a screen protector is not really necessary. There is not a mark on my iP…
  • Meet your two new best friends: http://www.discogs.com/ http://rateyourmusic.com/ You need to sign up to RateYourMusic to get high-quality images. It's free, takes no time at all, and is well worth it.
  • Thanks for the feedback, Crentist. It is kinda poor that iChat works so miserably with AIM, especially when Apple promote the whole iSight thing as one of their key selling points to new Mac convertees. I'm sure it works fine with other Macs, but …

  • Isn't #8 what Notes is for?

  • Amid the thrust and parry of the 1.1.1 debate, I have yet to see much feedback on the functionality of the iTunes WiFi music store. So I tried it over the weekend, and it works great! After a brief problem where it did not recognize my e-mail addr…
  • Bump. Nobody has an answer on how to set up a stable iChat-AIM video/audio connection? Have the people who say it's difficult tried and failed, or are they simply repeating received wisdom? Surely someone here has some practical experience with…

  • I'm with Taskiss on this one. I've had my iPhone for about two weeks now and I love it. Yes, it could be better -- there is room for improvement in every tech product -- but it does pretty much everything I expected it to. It is a joy to use. Al…
  • While we're on the subject, I have a supplementary question. I use a Mac, my parents a PC. I got them to download AIM so that I could video/audio chat with them through iChat. Regular old type-chat works fine, but they can't seem to get a one-way…
  • Ah, Some Dude: the authoratative source down through the ages. Still, unsubstantiated news is better than no news at all

  • I've been wanting one, too, but it's a difficult purchase to justify to the missus right now, having just dropped $400+ on the iPhone. What to do? These puppies are never on sale; still $349 here in the States, despite the discontinuation. If the…

  • I downloaded ffmpegx tonight. Not the easiest download, to be sure. And while the interface is good, the program has its quirks. But it works! Big up to Marvin for the pointer.
