I expect it will be a lot like the "Apple Shop" in many PCWorld stores in the UK. The "Apple Shop" is a section of the store, usually with some Macs, Macbooks and idevices on display. The one in our local PCWorld is about a 6th of the floor space ov…

ITV aside (the name won't happen, it will never happen)... No one has yet explained to me how this thing will handle all the different TV standards around the world? It would at least need to handle DVB and PAL in the UK, baring in mind PAL and N…

I've owned an iPad 2 since launch day in the UK. Yes, I lined up for 5 hours - more fool me. I really enjoy it, it's cool. I'm not blind though, so I do look at other tablets when I'm in stores. I've seen the Playbook about 3 times now in PC World (…

Quote: I'm curious to know how many people have been waiting for Verizon to pick up the iPhone. No one what-so-ever outside of the US. GSM is the world standard. Even in places that use CDMA, the iPhone tends to be available on UTMS/HSDPA (the G…

Does GV work outside of the US yet? If not - WHO CARES! Love, the rest of the world (aka, "the Majority").

I completely missed the keynote - so does this mean we might at some point be able to stream from Mac to iDevice? Or am I missing that I can already do that? What I really want to be able to do is stream from my NAS that is able to share my music ov…

*sigh* Kevin Rose is wrong most of the time. Else we'd have had an iPhone with two batteries (his prediction for the 2G) and we'd have front facing cameras on most iDevices for the last 3 years. What he does is talk to a lot of people, chinese wh…

Apple don't do that, Apple go for consistant naming schemes, else they would have already called it iTV outside of the UK. Case in point: Blockbuster video. In the UK there was a long established chain of Video stores called "Blockbusters" and Block…
