Slide out what?

Most iphone users are very happy with the soft keyboard. I prefer it to a physical one.

so there.

:)

Question

Good article. But is it possible to put an e ink screen over an LCD/LED screen to mix power savings and color when you want it?

Sounds like

Sounds like a P55/Windows 7 problem to me, if Win7 syncs with other chipsets.

At first I thought it might be an MS attempt to fail the iPhone, but after READING THE ARTICLE I now think it's not.

Colonel

And that would "Colonel" with an "r" it.

Not the point

@Neil 6: By reducing your emissions on the highway/in the city, are you really increasing the emissions at the coal plant? Plus it will be a beautiful day when the city streets are free of automobile pollution.

The point

I think the point of this device is to charge your mobe (old word I like) without an outlet, say hiking in the mountains for several days.

Reminds me of

an old equation I learned in grad school:

Windows 95 = Mac 89.

"boffins from

Oxford University and Virginia, America"

From the ENTIRE state of Virginia, or University of Virginia?

Geez.

Suck it, Stallman.

Wha?

My Apple monitor has had 2 powered USB ports on it since 2001, and their keyboards had 2 USB ports on them a year or two before that. A lefty? Plug your mouse into the USB port on the left side of the keyboard and off you go!

Apple = brilliant design.

Lynx?

Not to be confused with Jaguar, Panther, Tiger, Leopard, Snow Leopard, etc. etc.

as did HTC

Bye-bye, Windows Mobile, bye-bye!

3.1 works

I have an original iPhone and 3.1 works just fine for me.

Nice pic

It is a very cool, well composed photo, tho.

Lonely

What are you Brits on bank holiday or something? 3rd article I've seen with not a single comment.

Well, us merkins have Monday off for Labor Day, so, tata.

A bit late for that.

Aside from the ass-ugly Powerpoint slide (is it me or does Powerpoint lend itself to ass-ugly presentations

?), it's good to see Microsoft playing catch-up to apple, Android and Pre. Maybe they will innovate something that will spur more innovation from the other three (yeah, I know, fat chance).

But late 2010? The best they can do is over a year off? Apple iPhone OS 4 will be out by then!

Dust. Microsoft sees nothing but dust.

A@ IL&M

I don't even know what that is past the throw-back hardware keyboard, but what ever it is, good for you. Have fun with it.

Er...

"University College London?" Well, which is it? A university or a college? Is it like a alien extraterrestrial?

Thank you

Thank you, Mr. President.

About time the FCC had teeth. Although I'm an AT&T customer for a long time and happy with their service, I don't want my iphone to be restricted only to it. Keep ATT on their proverbial toes if I decide to take my iphone and go to another ball field.

Shoot

I've dropped my iphone (original) so many times but not even a scratch on the screen.

Something else than iphones seem to be exploding.

Uh,

I *bought* my iPhone. I dind't *invent* it. (to paraphrase)

So shut up to me about all your gripes with how it works. If you don't like fine use something else.

amazing.

Finally--an FCC with balls that is not owned by the conglomerates. Thank you, Mr, President.

How so?

How are there not any comments on this story? Are the Brits on holiday?

Won't buy one but

I won't be buying one of these, if it really exists, but I hope they ship each in a hugh box taped to a pallet.

No Apple

For once, a smart phone article that DOESN'T mention Apple or iPhone. But of course the first 2 or 3 comments do. I thought you haters, uh, hated always having to read iphone this and iphone that in articles about other smart phones.

Well, congrats, this article's for you. So why bring it up then?

Evil!

Evil Gates 'cause the MS evilness is spreading!

Crap

Entourage is a horrible piece of crap. Good riddance.

Mac Mail or Thunderbird, FFS.

CS2

Works perfectly fine on my dualy G4 at home. I don't need CS5 on it.

Yes, the home Mac is nowhere near the 8-core Mac Pro at work, but saving down in CSx is all I need to do.

Move along, no news here.

WTF?

" book readers aren't going to pay to attend live readings,"

I went to see David Sedaris in April. And I paid for it.

WTF?

Powerpoint?

Keynote, you laggard.

NOTE

Note to self: if iphone hisses, back away immediately!

Seriously I just wonder what these people have made their iphone/touches suffer for them to explode like that. And as usual ad of late at El Reg it seems, no real news--just headlines and beating a dead horse I MEAN repeating past headlines.

Tisk.

I read about this a while back...

At first they tried nanokillerrabbits to very disappointing results. Then the nanopoisondartfrog, a nanoferret or two, and some other anis nano until they came across the nanobee.

of course, not to be confused with pedobee.

working at an ad agency,

I wonder how many Macs are used at Razorfish? I can't imagine working for the Beast.

What?

"and hope your friends don't search for c***suckers"

Whadaya mean? My friends search for c***suckers every day...

Uhg

The bluehairs in the checkout line at Publix take so much time writing out a check from their ancient checkbooks, it's almost like an anthropological history lesson.

And as they say down South, "Bless their hearts."

Have a fecking blessed day.

Wow

Thanks, El Reg, for including that apple store photo at the end. MS will never be able to match apple in customer experience.

推擠您的頭入您的直腸並且打噴嚏

"Encyclopedia of parrots for Disease Control and Prevention" ???

in 2015?

A bit late for hybrids then, ay?

Something about

A 1000 monkeys pecking at typewriters...?

Well, actually,

My iPhone is the greatest thing ever.

For phones and mobile internet and media.

@ Wednesday AC:

Safari uses WebKit, which is in the OS. Webkit is also used my other apps too. So to update Safari, you update Webkit, which is in the OS, whish is why a reboot.

@AC 15:54

I don't know--my Mac doesn't have all that ugly shit lying along on the bottom of the screen.

finally

The FCC would have never done this under G W Monkey Boy. Isn't this Administration grand?!

maybe

Maybe the UK can put a wedge of cheese in one and let it orbit for a couple of weeks...

Egad.

I used SPSS in grad school. Although, to me, I was just typing into a terminal of the main frame, and a monkey would then type me back a bunch of rubbish.

At last!

2 things: finally, I read an article for an e-car that mentions air conditioning! I thought, since I've never come across a mention of it, that when we all went 'lectric we'd just sweat our asses off in the summer.

2nd thing: they put the power plug port in the FRONT of the car, not backside where the gas cap USED to be. Finally!

Just now?

H.264 is an HD quality codec that has been in Apples Quicktime for the past 3 years. And Silverlight is just now getting it?

Typical Micosoft. Always late.

Paris because just now getting it too.

Junk

We just dumped 30 armored personnel carriers and several shipping containers off the coast of south carolina to beef up the reefs. Wonder if any of that will help the northern phytoplankton?

I must say

CompuServe was awesome for me and my Coleco Adam. But I ended up spending most of my after school 300 baud online time at the local BBSs. For free. Fidonet anyone?

Mine's the worn 37 year old one near the back.
