  • FWIW, (and not to doubt anyone's grievances) I just noticed an improvement to Bluetooth connectivity - in the past, I couldn't begin a call on the iPhone and then transfer it to my car's (2004 Acura TL) Bluetooth system. It works like a charm now -…

  • Looks good to me, although never in my 2 years of owning the 1st gen Nano have I wished for it to be smaller. In fact, I'm already kind of paranoid over losing it or throwing it in the wash. There better be a shuffle-esque clip. I'm most intere…
  • 1 Gig of RAM would be criminal for any computer over $700 these days, a total mismatch for any processor you'd expect in the iMac's pricerange (fast dual core processors, I imagine).

  • I really have a hard time imagining .mac being compelling. Half of the appeal to a lot of the cutting edge web 2.0 technologies is that they're accessible to anyone on any platform and promote interaction. Sites like Facebook, Picasa and Panoramio…
  • I want better scrollwheel support, which is an area Windows is just better in. The big example is horizontal scrolling - if there is no room to scroll vertically, a lot of Windows programs (and the Explorer) let you scroll horizontally without a mo…
  • The guy uses a horrible example in the Razr V3, but he does have a point. With a two-year contract from just about anybody, you can get a pretty nice phone - a good Sony Erricson music phone or a Blackberry Pearl - for almost nothing and then a 4 g…
  • I really don't see any advantage of having an extremely thin keyboard (or, while we're on the subject, for making the iMac that much smaller than it already is) - both devices already look great and don't gain any functional advantage from being sli…

  • Sounds like an essential move when you consider the fact that the market for dedicated mp3 players is basically going to die over the next year or so. It's getting hard to buy a phone at any price without media functionality and a memory card slot …
  • Have you guys tried the new "Alex" Voiceover voice? I'm curious if it's as good as the demos - if so, I might not mind having voiceover read my news to me rather than reading it after a day of staring at a computer screen.

  • I switched a month ago and feel similarly. Another huge positive, basically the reason I went with a Macbook Pro, is it runs pro-audio apps incredibly smoothly. While PCs have caught up in terms of basic stability, you'd be shocked at what a night…
  • Great, now Apple just needs to make a modern, consolidated media-playing application! iTunes is slow and clunky playing any movie (on my spanking new MBP) and Quicktime works better but forgoes such niceties as a neatly consolidated library. If yo…
  • My personal requests would be -more user control of track effects (i.e. let us add as many as we want and let us rearrange them with drag and drop like every other music app on the market) -more user control of latency (no mysteriously upping the…
  • What program are you trying to play the movies with? I've never had a problem playing movies on an external drive with Quick Time. Playing certain movie formats on an external drive with Front Row requires you to make aliases and put them in the M…
