I'm all for standardization. Don't get me wrong. But here is another example that it can breed mediocre products! It's too bad that we have to end up with a solution like this imposed on us by the "great engineers" of Europe. For them seemingly th…

I'd be seriously disappointed if Apple would use a 3.2 megapixel camera in the new iPhone. That would be an "update" not an "upgrade". A min. of 5 megapixels would put the iPhone at the same level as the upcoming Samsung I7500. And shouldn't the iPh…

Looks like we won't see much about the new features of the iPhone2 and s/w version 2.0 until it comes out in June (?). Apple seems a lot more "tight lipped" this years and with a good reason - last year the competition was 2 years out. This year - w…
