$30/month is less than half of what I pay for cable (Comcast). The real question on my mind is what would you get for that $30/month. Apple's current selection of shows is hardly universal. If they could get a lineup of programming that truly rivals cable programming though, this could be a definite winner.

Do you also remember that the 1st gen iPhone was $600 WITH subsidy? Maybe it's just me, but I prefer $200 hardware with optional accessories to $600 hardware with included accessories.

The home dock has a mini USB port on the back, so it seems safe to assume that it will charge the phone. The car dock doesn't appear to have any sort of charging mechanism built in though.

Why should it have to be included? Just because you want one but don't want to have to pay for it? It would almost certainly add something to the base cost of the phone, and very few potential Droid owners really care all that much about docks as it is. Sure they might be a bit over priced on their own, but Moto's doing the right thing by keeping them separate.

It's a chart of the change in stock price for both Garmin and TomTom. Both took a steep dive after Google announced their new (free) turn by turn navigation today.

Stock Android, but Android 2.0 (versus the 1.5 everything else is running). Feature for feature, I think 2.0 probably trumps stuff like Sense and Blur running on 1.5, though Sense might be prettier.

Intel can't dictate to hardware manufacturers what they can put in their systems, but they can discourage it. Like Microsoft they offer different prices to manufacturers who conform to their system specs. So we get a slew of identical machines from 90% of netbook makers with a handful of higher priced machines, like your VAIO P, that buck the trend.

Also, I think it's worth pointing out that this is likely a decision that's made by the publishers and not Barnes & Noble. It's doubtful that Sony or Amazon will be providing better lending terms any time in the near future, since they have to work with the same publishers that Barnes & Noble does.

I'm not sure if this is sarcasm or not, but just in case it isn't he's the CEO of Microsoft.

In the video, there's a brief shot of the settings menu that shows an adjustable timer for automatically turning off the LCD. It looked like they had it set at 5 seconds.
