  • There are numerous reasons why Apple has staggered the release of G5 systems, heat generation, battery life and heat sink size just arent in the picture. IBM claims that a 1.2-1.3 Gig G5 generates less heat and eats less power than a 1 Gig G4. P…
  • Dont normally jump into the prediction fray, but two things I noticed this weekend and today. Went to Fry's here in Austin and there was only a 17" PB on display, no 12 no 15. They had 17" refurbs on sale for $2799; sale price ending 9/9/03. This…

  • Part of me desperately wants to scream GOD I HOPE NOT, but of all the manufacturers out there Apple would be the one to make the tablet concept workeable. However, unless they have something serious up their sleeve the technology for a tablet just …
  • Sorry. Never tried .Mac. However, the only funky thing that had to be done for POP addresses was to have your login name listed twice. I cant remember the exact settings, but there is a area to fill in login/account info and there is another that …

  • I just got done evaluating one in the hopes of switching to it on T-Mobile. The phone was great. Menus were quick, much quicker than the T68i, but at times there was a lag. Not annoying or anything, but still there. Some T610 are rumored to have…
  • Quote: Originally posted by tacojohn Is the T616 from AT&T and the T610 from T-Mobile the same phone? Yes, they are essentially the same. I just got done evaluating a T610 with T-mobile and its a great phone and decent service. Here…
  • I dont want to sound like an Apple apologist, but here goes. EDU orders are probably a big chunck of change for Apple right about now with EVERY school starting up. Kids actually need to have their computers to be able to "function" now days. If …
  • The concept of a tablet PC in and of itself is neat, however, the technology to make them happen efficiently isnt there right now. There is also the problem of definitions. What exactly do we want a tablet to do? Answering that question will defi…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Placebo Why doesn't Apple put a layer of insulation between the bottom shell of the laptop and the electronics? Would this interfere with correct dissipation? My guess is that they intended for the metallic body to…
  • Depending on who your provider is the set up is relatively simple. I tired a T610 (identical phone pretty much) with T-Mobile last week. When you go to Network prefs there is an option for the USB Bluetooth Modem (maybe Adapter). Highlight that an…
  • Not sure if you can have a BT phone for that little as of yet. Its still the new nifty thing to get kind of thing.
  • Am in the process of trying out a T610 on T-Mobile. Used to have a handful of ATT GSM phones (T68i, Nokia 89**, and Siemens SL46). I am in the process of trying to replace SprintPCS and a Samsung A500. As far as the comparison between the T68 goe…
  • Well, I have a wireless Keyboard and mouse here at work. The keyboard runs off of 4 AAA batteries and the mouse has a recharging stand, but can run off of AAA also if needed. The charging stand runs off of 110 AC. I have had them for over 6 month…
  • I was in the same boat a while ago and decided to go ahead and buy the 12" Combo. Although I have an "out" if they do upgrade within the next few months. I can pass it down to my wife and get the newer beast if it comes to that. However, you have…
  • Lots of comments aboout the telecom industry sucking royally in the USA. While true, a lot of it is not necessarily the industried fault. Much of the "damage" to the industry has been done through legislation. Companies like SBC and such have to …
