Suddenly because Nokia is transitioning into the smart phone market all the fanboys consider them to be a company on the verge of bankruptcy, even though they dominate the market in most countries.
Nokia has floundered in the smart phone market for 14 years and couldn't get it right. The last four years of those 14 Nokia was up against Apple and couldn't get it right. Now since the smart phone market is where the growth is at, Nokia needs to get it right or become irrelevant except in the bottom end of the phone market where the profit per unit is really tiny.
I've never thought of them facing bankruptcy, however, I think their long-term future does depend on Nokia being a player in the smart phone category.
Hooking up with Microsoft was a good stop-gap plan to get into the market quicker, but the MS mobile 7 is still in its first iteration and it lacks enterprise features. Additionally, Nokia still is planning on eventually developing their own phone OS in-house, so their long-term road map is rather hazy.

This would be a much better option if far too many developers didn't default to setting the 'required OS' for their new apps to whatever the most recent update was regardless of whether they need the features or not. It starts getting annoying a few weeks after an update when you can't install apps because you're not running the newest firmware...
Newer updates contain newer features (that the Apps might require to run) as well as essential security fixes. Running an older iOS version (as with any OS) is simply ill advised.

This app has been available to their employees for a while now. I recall meeting with reps several months ago and seeing this. When asked if I could have it, they said it was internal only for now and would be out in a couple of weeks. Yes, a couple of weeks...so we get it several months later. :rolleyes:

I benefit when Google tracks cell phones on the streets surrounding my location to provide me with reasonably accurate traffic conditions. I can then plan my route accordingly.
I doubt AT&T would do this, but if they took the real time data from this App and mapped it to a Google map, I could know when I should start an important call or begin a download of a new song or App. Over time, I could even see changes as AT&T addresses the most common problem areas.
The downside would be having to endure the Verizon TV ads, "Problematic 3G coverage? there's a Map for that" until they go away.
Think I'll just sit tight for iPhone 4GS for LTE.

How sad, I could have had that iPad.. Could you imagine being that iPad, being so excited to make someone's life become so awesome, then you get blended... Lucky iPad's don't have feelings, or do they?

I like the idea of keeping a standing 3:00 meeting every day of the expo, since we'll all have different schedules. Some of us may show up on several days, just to see who else is there.
But if we want to set one BIG meeting that everybody should plan to attend, I suggest Wednesday, Jan. 10th, 3:00 at the horseshoe. By then, some of the craziness of the first day will have died down, and we'll all have had a chance to see the new stuff on display in the Apple booth, and around the exhibition halls.
Sound like a plan?
I like that plan. We've only had four people participate in the Doodle poll linked on the previous page, so I'd like to see some more input about people's availability, but Wednesday sounds like a great option for a major MacRumors meet-up!

Oh, did M$ finally decide to release Vista? ;) :D :rolleyes:
No, they decided to release XP SP3 ...they just decided to rename it to Vista.

You also bought the Mac version. There is no Windows only version, and thats the great thing. Much like Blizzard, Valve has signed onto the one release model, and is even trying to push that into the consoles. Buy the game, not the game for the platform. Play it on your beefy hand built Windows gaming PC, and your travel MacBook Pro. One copy.
Now if only more games would do this. I don't buy games from Feral, or Aspyr since they tend to be released way after the Windows version (with little to no pre-anouncement so I know to not buy the Windows one), and tend to add more DRM (Only version of Quake Wars that requires a disc is Aspyr's Mac version, Windows and Linux = no disc DRM crap). As much as I like to be a Mac gamer, I'm a gamer first, Mac owner second.
Yep, thats a huge incentive to many Steam titles and Blizzard (as you mentioned).
BTW: "As much as I like to be a Mac gamer, I'm a gamer first, Mac owner second" My thoughts exactly. Ill use the iMac for feel good, everyday things...but theres nothing like Crysis Maxed out at 60FPS on a monster PC ;)

I have to assume that since Apple just released the 5.5G iPods, that if a 'true' video iPod is released, it will be as a 'super' iPod of sorts. This will be similar to when the iPod photo came out.
This is the only thing that makes sense to me, otherwise, why would apple put so much time between the two 5g releases, only to make them obsolete a month later???
This also makes sense in light of apple bringing down the prices so much with its last update, so that they can make room at the top.
so... who here feels sorry for the zune boys?

Against the will of who? Read a history book...
The partitioning didn't go well though, the Palestinians weren't fond of the idea. Which created the mess there is today.
So Eraserhead, seems that we can credit your lovely nation, the UK, for the creation of Israel. Congrats!
The thing is no one ever consulted the people who lived there about creating this new and foreign state on their land and have people imported on ships from all over Europe to populate it. I remember reading somewhere that the partition was rejected by the Arabs because while the land was divided roughly 50/50, the Jews only owned ~10% of the land, and much of the prime land near the water was allocated for Israel.
Why would they have to kill them?? :confused:
Kill them or drive them out, simply because if they merge the non-Jewish population would quickly outnumber the Jewish population. If it becomes a true democracy and these non-Jews are given voting rights, then the state will quickly lean towards an Arab state rather than a Jewish state due to greater Arab influence.

Or is the USA void of any decent dumb or feature phones?

had both, decided to pay for the iphone instead of having work pay for the droid.
too much fragmentation and too many issues.
I had both too, and I didn't want to pay a fortune for my cell phone plan or my repairs.
I also didn't want to have to deal with an un-customizable home screen.
I know that I will go back to iOS when Apple really puts some work into an OS that hasn't changed much in 5 years.

When was the last time we saw a maintenance release that actually addressed real issues with the OS?
I miss the days when an update would say: "Addresses general stability, bug fixes, and performance improvements."

On their webpage, apple specifically says that the two ports are on separate busses and have double the throughput of a single bus. I guess whether you believe them or not is up to you...
Sorry, but could you provide a link please? I looked through the Imac/TBolt pages, and didn't notice that statement.

You don't KNOW these things, you assume them.
They make 2-3 times as much money as when they only made computers, I don't see the problem.
That's important if you're an investor. or employee. As a consumer - who cares how much money a company makes. It's not about their profit, it's about their products.

The Jewish community owns a big chunk of Manhattan :cool:
Funny part is, most people who are opposing the mosque aren't jews, they're christians. As a matter of fact, BLOOMBERG (can't get anymore jewish than that) is a supporter of the mosque project.
