I really don't see anything special here, but i guess i'll wait for more info, or some caffinated mac-head to clue me in to why this is better than sex, or just try it out myself when this super high tech stuff comes to Jersey... we're still impressed with 14.4k Dialup here ;)

(seriously, i must be missing something, because i don't see anything special here...)]]>Nov 7th 2007 6:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/Nov 7th 2007 6:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/
Mah head assplode!!!]]>Nov 7th 2007 6:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/Nov 7th 2007 6:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/
I bought a song, and it took minutes to get downloaded. Around 5-7 for me. I wasn't satisfied.

There's also a few other problems I've been experiencing, and I'm thinking of returning my iPod Touch for something much more stable and not too-new. That's part of the price you pay for being an early adopter.

I'm taking a look at the Zune 2.0. It looks great from what I've seen, and I don't mind ditching my iPod for one. ]]>Nov 7th 2007 6:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/oh wait, it hasn't come out yet.

though to be honest i'm liking the looks of it too]]>Nov 7th 2007 7:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/
Well the iPod Touch is a first for multi touch on a media player device. And there's bound to be tons of problems associated with anything that's latest and new.

Zune 2.0. still has the same kind of hardware, and it's not so different from what's out there, so it sounds stable to me. I think the Zune team has been studying this for months, and it looks like the Zune 2.0. is a solid player from the start.

Well, that's what I think.]]>Nov 7th 2007 7:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/Nov 7th 2007 10:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/Nov 7th 2007 7:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/Nov 7th 2007 7:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/Nov 7th 2007 7:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/Nov 7th 2007 7:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/Nov 7th 2007 8:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/Nov 7th 2007 10:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/Nov 8th 2007 6:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/Nov 7th 2007 8:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/Nov 7th 2007 8:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/Nov 7th 2007 8:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/Nov 8th 2007 9:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/Nov 8th 2007 4:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/Nov 8th 2007 5:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/Nov 10th 2007 8:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/
If it's choice between iTunes or the rest of the Internet, that's a big problem.]]>Nov 7th 2007 11:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/Nov 7th 2007 11:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/Nov 8th 2007 12:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/Nov 8th 2007 1:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/Nov 8th 2007 2:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/Nov 8th 2007 2:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/
"BFF, OMG! The Zune is so social Gotsta Get One!"

I suppose the robotic bot reply is a better fake shill ... though real humans, if one download is not 100 MB per second - their first reponsse is not normally, "I will spend $300 or a Zune and $200 to load it with new music because I have heard through reliable sources that the Zune 2.0 is simply the best ..."

Um, yea, okay - yea whatever.

Nice try MS. Keep at it. Eventually, you will sound human.]]>Nov 8th 2007 3:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/Nov 8th 2007 6:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/
You are right on. I tried this in my local Starbucks. Yeah how cool...you can connect to itunes to buy shit. But now you're connected to the tmoble network. Email doesn't work. Safari doesn't work. None of it works....not without the ten bucks of course.

If you're like me, you have your iphone on auto connect too...so now every time you go into a starbucks your iphone doesn't work unless you go in and manually forget it from your networks.

Worse than useless.]]>Nov 8th 2007 11:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/
Personally, I go into Starbucks, get my black coffee and try to get out as fast as I can. Don't think I would linger around to either download or even listen to music. Plus the stores are usually so small and packed in NYC, one can almost never find a seat.]]>Nov 9th 2007 1:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/apple-and-starbucks-itunes-wifi-integration-hands-on/Dec 5th 2007 10:17PM
