Those of you screaming that such a move makes no sense aren't seeing the bigger picture here... A smaller phone, as one earlier poster said, a 'feature phone' that works primarily as a phone and an ipod and can serve as a wireless tethering devic…

If their awful overpriced and substandard V-cast and other content services aren't removable from it, NO WAY. V-cast is total crap in every conceivable way. I don't think they're going to see many converts if they're going to be forcing V-cast dow…

More trash. I pity those of us who are forced to use this crap for their work or the like... I only have Office 2008 installed for legacy document use and Excel. (Sorry Steve, Numbers just isn't up to even casual spreadsheet use.) As it is, I …

and why should I care? Office stopped being anything more than an occasional use niche product for me after I installed Office 2008. I understand that some people still are required to use it, and I pity them. No one will cheer louder than …

I teach vision science in a major California, university, the claims about this display are patently false. First, I'll overlook the claim about what the human retina can display, that's just wrong. The retina doesn't display anything, it's not …

I checked out the iWork apps for iPad last week, and for the usage I'd have, they don't cut the mustard (keynote anyway). The capabilities of the iPad version just aren't comparable to the Mac OS version that I use daily for teaching. While I do…

So many people name calling and arguing here over a matter of opinion. LOL... I didn't need to read past the first page to see how worthless and pointless this all is. Why is it so hard for people to just let other people do what they want an…

I agree whole heartedly with just about everything that's been said here so far. As usual, M$ is a day late and a dollar short. The UI looks atrocious... even if it is far better than the UI in 2008. But still, it shows they still just don't …
