I read a few comments from around the web that seem to imply the new MobileMe->iCloud transfer service (me.com/move) copies MobileMe data to an existing iCloud account, rather than creating a new one. Is this true?

There's an irony to be found here. If Google should happen to win, it'll be a massive blow to open-source. To my recollection, the violating code was open-source licensed, but they removed the license. A win for Google sets precedence that this can …

The 3GS is in a good spot to be pushed down a price spot. Keep the specs mostly the same (update where it can without impacting financially), update the casing to be more in line with modern iterations, and you're done. There's lots of people out th…

Point-and-shoot cameras definitely. I had an iPod nano (1G) alongside a Moto RAZR for quite a while, then swapped both for a Windows Mobile 5 (later 6) phone, but didn't take me long to realize the music experience just wasn't up to par, so got anot…
