Free GPS? i could use it to walk down to wall street and hit someone over the head with it!

go to itunes, authorize your machine with your account you paid for your apps with, then go to file, transfer purchases from iPod (iPhone?). I'm not sure exactly what that will say b/c my phone isn't plugged in right now, but it should pull your apps from your phone into iTunes!

Hope that helps

Theres a frys in Indiana as well... just outside of Indianapolis... they are getting alot bigger and spreading... not to mention its like heaven inside!

Agreed... $30 unlimited on AT&T vs. $50 unlimited on Verizon!

Not to mention the biggest anger with Verizon is that even on some of their smart phones they have tried to strip features out over the years.

You get the 2nd leg back on the mail in rebate... little use it'll do you tho

you could probably use it w/ readyboost... not that i'd know b/c i've already ditched vista and gone back to xp, but it might make it a bit faster?

@andy,

you make a good point. the drug industry is definitely a bit different and should have different rules, and to an extent i guess technology is the same way. maybe the answer is to study how long it takes, on average for a tech company to recuperate R&D costs... and tack a few years on to the end of that. Maybe thats a good measurement. but its definitely not that simple to just say 5 years, I agree.

@craig

yeah, but the iphone has been out for awhile... he could have sued whenever... but his patent life is coming to an end, so he better do it soon! so he did...

maybe apple should have licensed it. i'm not arguing that. but to me, all this patent junk is annoying... lets make the length of patents shorter. Come up w/ something cool? good, we'll award you a patent for a handful of years, then come up w/ something new or make your product even better to differentiate it from the rest.

how convenient on the timing... his patent (according to my calculations assuming this patent: http://www.google.com/patents?id=84IjAAAAEBAJ&dq=Romek+Figa) is set to expire in May of this year...

macbook and macbook pro updates, including multi touch and led screens for the pro... as rumored, as expected... although nice bumps to the pro line... makes me wish my laptop would die so i could get it replaced for a new one...
