I'm pretty happy with iPhone 4. My only disappointment is the fact that they didn't bump up the memory to 64GB. Given the expense of flash memory and the space allotted to the battery, I can understand why. I wonder how that will impact announcem…

I doubt that Apple would use WWDC to announce any updates to the Macbook Air or the Mac Pro. Everything seems to indicate that the event will focus on the new iPhone and features of 4.0 OS. With a lot of ground to cover with features of the new OS a…

I think the public's gotten used to this notion of a $99 iPhone and it's in Apple's interest to have something at that price point, just like how they have a Macbook priced at $999. Since Apple has said that the 3GS will be fully capable of runni…

Better late than never, I suppose. I can't believe the things that the wireless industry gets away with in this country. The government really needs to address the following problems: - Texting: As a lot of other people have pointed out, sendi…

I think the Holy Grail for most users is one box that will do it all and do it in an easy manner. The Google TV concept sounds promising, but they really need to keep the user experience in mind. I really like the idea of Apple TV -- I've been wa…

I'm not sure if the ability to talk on the phone and surf the Web is a major reason holding iPhone back on Verizon. If it were about making sure all iPhones everywhere had the same capabilities, it does not explain why U.S. users don't have tetherin…

It's not bad, I guess. It's like what would have happened if a classic 5G white iPod got it on with an iPhone. I think I'd still lean toward the black, but I'd like to see the final product on June 7 before making any decision! However, the white…

I suppose it's not outside the realm of possibility that someone could have gotten a mold of the new iPhone's exterior and designed a case off of that. I wonder what the turnaround time is for a reputable case maker, like Belkin or Griffin, to ge…

I'm not a huge fan of Wal-Mart personally, mostly because of some of its labor practices and business policies. Though I don't shop there, I do applaud the company's environmental efforts like pushing CFLs. It doesn't matter to me whether Wal-Mar…

I also have to wonder if AT&T's moving up of the eligibility date for some users is to prevent them from bolting if and when iPhone exclusivity ends, say this fall.

Why on earth would Verizon need an ad agency to do an iPhone promo? I mean, seriously, all they need to do is put up signs that say "Verizon + iPhone." That's it. Hell, they can have kids do in crayon and construction paper and people are going to c…

I find it hard to believe that the deal is iron-clad and that there's two more years left in this Apple-AT&T pact. There must be some escape clauses available for Apple should they decide to end exclusivity. Or at least a lot of us hope.

I think I'm going to write an update about this as a classic children's story and call it "The Boy Who Cried 'Verizon iPhone!'" Come on, Apple, how many first-born children, virgin sacrifices, rain dances, Hail Marys, Mayan calendars, and Nostrad…

I'm very excited for the new iPhone -- definitely getting one at the earliest opportunity! I'm not that terribly interested in video, though the 720p is intriguing. Frankly, I'm more excited that it might include a camera flash. If the phone d…

I'm not sure if this story is really news, like polls finding that Americans were not happy with the bank bailouts. It pretty much confirms the accepted view regarding AT&T's network. Nor are the comments anything new compared to past forum post…

Does anyone know why the 3G version of the iPad is so much more expensive? Does adding the antenna and chips add that much of a premium?

Technical reasons aside, it really does come down to stopping Android. Obviously Apple would rather not have a CMDA-flavored iPhone in the market with the GSM iPhone. Perhaps if they could get Qualcomm's chip it might be possible to offer a dual-…

Yeah, it's pretty much all rumor until Steve makes it official. That being said, I think there are a number of reasons this time it might be true, which have been articulated by other folks in the forums. First, Apple never broadcasts what it …
