by 2019 the iPhone will cost 1,99 dollars, and will have 14G according to the "twice as fast, half the price" theory.
everything else will be the same.

After that the price can drop a little for the rest of the world.

I'm not sure how "free" and "open" android will be, but what I saw with the launch of the G1 didn't excactly thrill me.

Also, what's up with Engadget making a cut for a reversed picture of the one they first used? Redundant, much?]]>Sep 25th 2008 1:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/Sep 25th 2008 4:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/Sep 25th 2008 11:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/Sep 25th 2008 11:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/Sep 25th 2008 12:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/Sep 26th 2008 4:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/Sep 25th 2008 11:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/Sep 25th 2008 3:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/Sep 25th 2008 11:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/Sep 25th 2008 11:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/Sep 25th 2008 1:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/Sep 25th 2008 11:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/Sep 25th 2008 11:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/Sep 25th 2008 12:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/Sep 25th 2008 11:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/Sep 25th 2008 12:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/Sep 25th 2008 12:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/Sep 25th 2008 11:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/


*We use the term "battery" for the device that barely keeps our phone powered on for 15 minutes. You can't charge it because we forgot to add that feature. It's a v1.0 product for the rich, they won't care, right?]]>Sep 25th 2008 12:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/
The candybar form factor with a querty is still the way to go. Like the iPaq 910c or the BB Bold. The rest are fine PMPs, but a computer needs a keyboard. And lets face it, we don't want a phone, we want a computer.

...Honestly, most of you are probably too green to remember when touchscreens first became popular (in the 80's). ...In the end we realized there's nothing like a keyboard.

Then again, if you're just going to stream videos from YouTube or watch My Little Pony reruns, maybe this form factor is right for you. ...Personally I use my phone to text and email more than anything else. And I know I'm not alone on that.]]>Sep 25th 2008 11:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/Sep 25th 2008 11:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/
besides, HTC can kick out something like this in no time. Look at the Touch HD as an example. Too high res means more processing power needed to display the same thing, lower battery life. Video playback will require heavy upscaling or you see blocks. If videos were encoded in the native resolution of that screen, the phone will need a pretty damn fast CPU to play it back too.]]>Sep 25th 2008 11:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/
And although I disagree with you regarding keyboards on phones - I'd rather have the flexibility of a touchscreen than the convenience of a keyboard - I don't really understand why you got low-ranked for thoughtfully expressing your opinion. Oh well.]]>Sep 25th 2008 12:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/
Flash back to late 1800's

This handcranked auto-carriage is a pain, horse drawn carriage is the way to go and will never be replaced.
Low and behold a few decades later and the Model T assembly line with the removal for a need to hand crank, we have the automobile. Do you own one? You might have more clout if you don't own own, use, or have ridden a car.]]>Sep 25th 2008 12:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/What happened to the "after the jump"?
This the second time I've noticed this phrase, and both have been today...

Did the internets suddenly switch terminology or have I been under a rock the whole time?

The terminology has been co-opted by web designers and usually refers to whether or not a particular content element appears near the top of a web page and is visible without scrolling.

I've never heard it used to describe the placement of content after a link, though.]]>Sep 25th 2008 12:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/25/art-lebedevs-scartel-wimax-handset-concept-were-moving-to-rus/
