[QUOTE=cnocbui;1706813]It is not 'custom-built' it is an off-the-shelf and re-badged Samsung Hummingbird processor, as has been revealed by x-raying the two devices:] If you took the time to do a bit more research into the review you quote, you …

Could be that Apple already used parts of this IP in the development of the IP4 case. Jobs stated that a newly patented alloy was created just for this purpose, but no other details. The IP that LiquidMetal owns could have decreased the cost and ti…

The limitations of the magic mouse are not hardware but apple software based. There are a number of 3rd party apps that allow you to extend the magic mouse gestures extensively. I agree that the apparent loss of the 3rd button function from the mi…

No BT/WiFi problems encountered so far. I use a Jawbone BT (2nd gen) almost constantly and other than having to remove and re-pair once, my BT connection has been rock solid. I run with WiFi on most of the time and move into and out of WiFi conne…

While this forum is about all things Apple and the talk of the day is the new iPhone, the subject of this particular thread is fit and finish. There are plenty of threads on every aspect of the new iPhone already open and active. Keeping comments …

Please, can we stop the personal barbs and stick to the subject.

I think the interesting thing about Apple's adoption of milled housings is the potential that Apple has found a point of convergence in the cost of CNC vs more typical injection or stamped molding technologies. The CNC machine has the versatility o…

This thread has been hijacked from fit and finish into an extension of several others on this forum. Can't we just stay on subject. With at least three other threads raging over the antenna situation, and hundreds of posts, there is little to add …

I will add to the count of those NOT having the antenna problem. I am in the Dallas area and typically run from 3-5 bars (pretty much consistent since my original 2G). With the 4G, indicated signal strength seems to run a tad higher than on my spo…

As one of the cities that AT&T has been upgrading both backhaul and wireless service, performance is pretty nice. My new 4G reports between 2.7Mb and 3.5Mb down and 1-1.5Mb up, more or less consistently, with latency averaging around 250ms. I …

From the start of the download, to completion of entire upgrade, reinstall apps, etc, was about 3 hours. Pretty heavy for a machine with NO music, and only 2GB of apps and associated data, but it did work. First performance impressions are positiv…

Starting with the reboot after 10.6.4 install, my MBP seemed more responsive, but it was when I fired up Parallels/XP/Outlook, that any doubts of noticeable performance improvements vanished. It is obvious that Apple did a lot of code optimization …

The price you get IN STORE is NOT the same as the online price. The online price requires you to MAIL your existing iphone to RS and then according to their website, in 2-3 weeks they will mail you back your gift card for the $186. The in-stor…

Just got back from my local RS. While a nice store, it is at a disadvantage due to road construction (why I chose it). At any rate, they opened at their normal 9am (they called me yesterday to confirm when they would open and that I was indeed on …

There can be no question that Apple is better prepared for this launch than the previous 3. I suspect that there is flexibility in the number of units RS will get on launch day. Just the fact that you have to make a reservation to come in on Tuesd…

The bottom line...trade-in value at RS is not set in concrete until the moment of the transaction. I just dropped back by my local store and we ran the in-store appraisal again and came up with $145 plus change on my 16GB mint 3G (same as yesterday…
