Ummm....

I like it. Much 'fresher' than the now dated looking iPhone OS.

Must be the season

for all these phone companies to sue and counter sue each other. Hopefully in all cases it's to the death...

Laptop?

To all those saying 'my laptop can do all that'. Well for some (i.e. me) I don't want a laptop on me all the time get it? The keyboard is superfluous when watching something or reading something. Get it?

I would LOVE a bigger iPod Touch*. I use my touch more than my netbook. Netbooks? Now there's a pointless product.....

* However I HOPE this new iPad thing runs OSX and not the iPhone OS. Not likely though....

Decade?

For those making comments about the end of the decade, please read:

http://clipmarks.forbes.com/tag/when-does-the-decade-end/

This bit applies to you:

"Insisting that the decade ends on December 31, 2010 is not pedantic. It is dumb. And wrong. Spare yourself the embarrassment and don't do it."

Bandwidth? Usage Capping?

The article starts off talking about bandwidth and then moves to usage capping. So what does this meter do, tell the user how much bandwidth they are using, or how much data they have downloaded (towards the cap). Shirley they are different things?

Ha

de fuckin ha.

Karma.

That is all.

@Mr Squirrel

Smokers smoke by choice yes? So If I shit (by choice) in/on/around my computer and it stops working, Apple should repair or replace it because of that? Yes? No? Didn't think so.

There is no difference really - both cigarette smoke and shit are excrement from filthy fuckers.

@The Big Yin

You can tell you haven't joined the HD Bandwagon as you clearly know nothing about it. You might want to read up on what 'HD Ready' actually means before posting. Unless you want to keep looking like an luddite that is.

Damage?

How many shiny iThings will be thrown at a wall when people get pissed off with such embedded ad shit. I'd certainly throw mine. The f*ckers.

@Sooty

You might want to look up what 'HD Ready' and 'Full HD' really mean before you shove your foot any further down your mouth.

Just saying....

Lazy

"Why Palm hasn't gone the RIM route and developed their own iTunes-syncing utility remains a mystery."

It's probably the beancounters fault. There was a meeting with beancounters where costs were discussed. To 'to a BlackBerry' was going to cost X. Beancounters not happy. A developer recklessly throws out a "Well we could just pretend to be an iPod, which would be quick easy and super cheap to do, but Apple would..." (cutoff by beancounters) "Just do that then", "But...", "DO IT!"

Either that or they are lazy fucks

Righteous Indignant...

...Knob

@Sly

Stoopid merkins and their 'I'll sue the f*ckers' culture.

That is all.

Moral Crusade

So it comes out that Palm are the ones breaking the 'rules' rather than Apple. How embarrassing for them. Will they give up quietly now, or turn this into some groundless freetardlike moral crusade.

From another news source:

"The Light Peak technology handles multiple communication protocols at the same time, with quality-of-service provisions to ensure high-priority traffic such as video get preferred treatment, he said."

"You can tie a knot in it and it'll still work."

"can carry data at 10 gigabits per second in both directions simultaneously"

Hopefully this means you can still pipe USB1/2/3, FireWire, ethernet etc etc down it, with the relevant translators on each end. One cable to rule them all?

Wireless sucks*, Cables - oh I mean 'this' cable rocks!

* Because it's not 100% guaranteed to work all the time everytime everywhere

Pah - silly

Who'd pay for something like this when the camera in my phone (which I got for free, natch) is 24 mega pixels. What? The sensor is only a 1/1000th of an inch in size? Pah, everyone knows it's all about the pixels baby.

Phone cameras rule!

@Used file-sharing sw

Hhahaha. Hahahahhahaha.

Legal use of file-sharing. Hhahahah. You mean things like 'linux distro's right,

Hhahaha. Hahahahhahaha.

Being a 'pirate' is 'cool'*. What pirate is going to admit to anyone that they using some legally, and for linux at that.

Hhahaha. Hahahahhahaha.

Oh and thanks El Reg. Now I know that the number of file sharers may only be between 3.9 and 5.6m rather than 7m has made me feel much better. Everyone knows as soon as you go over 6m people start to take notice......

Stats rule! (95% of the time, based on a sample size of 1 with an error % of -+ 14.69)

* That's surely the point - being cool? I mean what else are you going to do with the 4 million MP3s and 1.2 million movies you've now got on your home network. Listen/watch them all?

Hhahaha. Hahahahhahaha. Twats.

Gorgeous

I'd have one even if it had an 'old fashioned' ICE.

Nuff said

This is not a problem

People who can afford the Creative Suite can afford to upgrade to Intel based machines. I'd be surprised if they haven't already.

As for those with warez copies, well boo hoo.

Alpha-geeks?

Watch them all go crying to mummy about this.

"Apple, sniff, won't let me open, sniff, my toy! Waaaaaaaa Waaaaaaaaaa"

This new thing by Apple might be a problem if people where forced to buy their products. But they're not. It's called choice. So anyone who buys their stuff and complains can shut it. If enough people get sniffy over this and don't by their products, then maybe Apple will change their ways. But I think most normal people won't give a stuff.

The wailing of Alpha-geeks is to be laughed at, not listened to.

@It's your computer, not Apple's

@Bob 18.

Since iTunes went DRM free, I don't see anything stopping you putting that music on any mp3 player you choose. iTunes doesn't encrypt all music into it's library into some unreachable binary you know. You can go search through your file directory, pull out the music and drag it onto your mp3 player. Real simple stuff yes?

So you must be getting upset about iTunes 'the music organiser' only allowing handy syncing with Apple products? Dude, that's just lame lame lame. Why doesn't someone just write another music organiser that can read the iTunes library (like Palm) and sync with any old mp3 player?......

Oh wait - I know. Because then you'd need one app to download the music and then another to sync it on your mp3 player. Not very efficient is it. A bit...lame. So instead people are wanting to leverage (for free in Palm's case) off Apples hard work.

It's.....sniff....so...unfaiiiiiir...waaaaaa.....waaaaahhhh

A "Status Car"?

Sorry boys, the gravy train is over.

@Nenox Enigma

Umm, you might want to check out the original Honda Insight then. It came in manual and CVT. The manual was the more economical of the two.....
