DISQUS

"The U.S. wireless industry is the most competitive and innovative in the world"

<cough>Bull oney</cough>

Wow. It's a strange world indeed where someone thinks $449,000 (close to half a million dollars) can be described as 'only'. I would lik eto think that if I was 'only' earning half a million dollars, that I would have more than $4300 cash to spare on a little investment.

But the reality is he probably has his cash spread around, like the rest of us. Even if you think it's not much money, at least he did do something rather than bash the company or its employees.

Oh diddums! Suck it up, big boy. When you tweet about football, or your golf score or your daughter's first steps *or whatever* do I moan and whine? I either enjoy it or move on. It's not complicated. If you can't work out how to filter or scan or skim or ignore or unfollow, don't blame everyone else.

Great video. We ROCK :-)

So about an inch square? That's smaller than a CF card (although a little thicker. Hmmm - how about a CF-card-slot projector for Digital cameras? :-)

LOL

Better - 848x480

Oh boy. Oh boy. Oh BOY :-)

Love the colour-selection page .... but I simply want plain ole black. Or maybe hot red :-)

All I couild see for 'old' specs is a volume, in this doc

... quoted as 120cc. New dimensions work out at 99.12cc. This equates to the new accessory projector being around 3mm thinner, assuming width and height arer not changed.

Assuming I can count right today :-)

I'm following Microvision on Twitter.... so what's going on with user testing? I was excited by the recent survey, then silence ...

Coolness. Jut need that recent survey to bring fruits and some of us can find out for ourselves :-)

Guess you haven't looked at iPhone resale values on eBay ...

I do understand your need to be on a budget for your phone contract, but I think you missed something in your assessment. 150 quid is the purchase price of the iPhone. Do you know what you'd have to pay out of you were buying a phone so that you can use it on PAYG?

Well at least we know where you stand before you pick it up :-)

Wow - you just noticed? SMS has always beeen horrendsously expensive. But somehow no one has ever noticed. I point this out to people who want to do 'mLearning' via SMS and even when you show them the numbers they still don't get it.

The Corporate world is stunningly effective at pulling the wool over your eyes!!!

Nobody did the interface so good. But everybody else (well, you know what I mean) has more and better features. I wish PocketPC had got this interface thing figured out 5 years ago, because a 5 year old Pocket PC has more features and functionality than the iPhone.

But it's not all about interface. That's clear from other comments here. Apple has to add more of what's missing before the technophiles move over in large numbers. But meantime, Nokia and others are slowly unwinding their own interface design and develop engines. The next two years are going to be very exciting. I'll be shocked if Apple doesn't take a hammering very soon.

If I see one more shakey 'box opening' video, I swear I'll ....

I agree. Nothing to see here, move on. When they give us 32/64++ Gb, a decent camera, video, haptic feedback (where did that go?), removable SD/mini/micro slot then I'll be buying one.

Meantime, I am very impressed with the Apple bullsh1t marketing that tries to make out that no one else ever did what they are doing. They spent how long telling us that the Exchange application works just like web-based Exchange on PC ... woohoo you can drag and drop emails and files.

But the games look good. And there is huge buzz. iPhone 3 might actually have me putting my hand in my pocket and giving ATT/Apple some of my cash :-)

So does removing SMS charges automatically permit SPAMmers to mine mobile phone numbers and 'advertise' at us willy-nilly?

If so, then why not have some sense and change the law in advance to STOP that? Oh ... because the US governent is terrified of standing in the way of any sort of trade or advertising, no matter how shady.

<sheesh>

Maybe somoething in Vista SP1 screwed with Nokia Software Updater???

Oh come on. Folk complain that Microsoft made Windows too open to abuse, viruses and hackers. Yet every time they add another layer of security, folk whine! It's not like it's rocket science to reopen the vulnerability just so you dont have to make one or two more mouse clicks.

And since Apple has similar, if slightly less invasive, blocks on installing stuff without express permission, then you are being just a hair disingenuous ... IMHO :-)

A few years ago, while I still lived in Britain, I signed up to a service tht gave me a 'portable' number. The idea was I could hand out this number to everone to call, but when they dialled, it put them through to me wherever I was, or at whatever landline/mobile number I designated.

At the time the mobile industry was a little hectic, so people were swapping numbers regularly .. I think thi was just before cell phne numbers became easily portable. I moved house a couple of times around then too, and all I had to do when my number changed was go edit my designated number on the service web site.

I'm not telling you this because I think the service was particularly good, or because I miss it. I think it was necessary at the time, but these days it i less so. If nothing else, people can always get me on my personal email addres, so I really don't care if they have an up to date phone number for me. But I like the idea of an emal address and/or phone number that we can carry with us for life. Sure there's reasons why some of us find we want or need to change contact details, but most people are lucky enough not to need to do that :-)
