Apr 25th 2008 3:51PM A special plastic called aluminum ;)
(the separate black plastic part in the current model is there specifically because the rest of the back being metal blocks radio signals)

Study finds teens don't really care about their hearing {Engadget}
Mar 27th 2008 9:53AM Actually, that already happened - the iPod is sold in the US, remember? ;)
That's why every iPod has a volume limiter and yes, a warning about hearing loss included in the docs.
iPhone Dev Team jailbreaks firmware 2.0... before it's out {Engadget}
Mar 12th 2008 9:05AM "In a sense, anybody can get the SDK for $99 and download apps to THEIR iPhone. [...]
In a sense I think the SDK makes the Jailbreaks unnecessary because YOU can put what ever you want on there, at least thru the dev tools, and not void your warranty is probably more than enough for the majority of jailbreakers. Of course Apple is getting another $99 out of you for a feature that "should have been there"..."
Two problems with that:
1. The iPhone is not available in most countries, so you NEED to jailbreak it to even be able to use it.
2. The SDK $99 that allows developers to install their own apps on the iPhone for testing and development IS ONLY OPEN TO US DEVELOPERS and Apple hasn't committed to a specific date or timeline as to when it will be available to the rest of the world.

Feb 26th 2008 11:27AM "Apple isn't innovatative, they take existing technology put it in a pretty box and market it better than anyone else."
Design isn't about making it look pretty ;)
Lenovo X300 vs. Apple MacBook Air... Fight! {Engadget}
Feb 15th 2008 9:25AM Should the fact that the Lenovo X300 uses a LV (low voltage) 1.2GHz Core 2 Duo processor (slow) while the MacBook Air uses a 1.6 or 1.8GHz Core 2 Duo (not earth shattering but not slow by any accounts) be mentioned somewhere in that chart?
