I'm really tired of exactly this type of SPECULATION
there's an iMac in The Fantastic Mr. Fox, on the Badger's desk
seriously XNA????

I don't know how you can justify saying that Apple ripped XNA off.

XNA is for games, on the xbox (and the Zune, but MS has yet to allow devs to sell their apps for the Zune, though the XNA platform has been available for the Zune since the original Zune 30 at 2.0). The App Store is for apps (which include games, but also many many other things). XNA is an afterthought compared to the app store. Who even cares about XNA on the xbox?

SO basically what you are saying that Apple took an idea like giving developers a set of tools to make developing on their platform easier (which is not an original idea that MS created) and then Apple made it better by giving them an easy, accessible, and lucrative way to sell their apps to all iphone users. Yeah, then you are right...Apple also did that with the ipod and the laptop and the desktop. What's the big deal?
I agree about the chat bubbles and the interface. I really miss the themes and the interface could still use some tweaking. I would love a few more settings. For instance I don't really like how it starts up where I left off. I would rather have the option for it start up on my twitter feed.

I think the icon is fine, not that big of a deal, but it could stand a redesign.

As far as the problems with having to re-download it, I think that's a problem with iTunes, because I've had the same problem with several different apps. Also, lately on my iPhone i keep having to reenter my iTunes password at random times.
Hmmm do you have a link to your "tests?" I found several reviews with "tests" that say otherwise like this one:

I've found Navigon to be pretty excellent in my daily use. I would definitely pick it up now at this price.
No...they really couldn't since these are CELLULAR companies and noone is comparing WIFI experiences. The majority of phones on AT&T and Verizon don't have wifi. Just because you can surf and talk at the same time on your Droid while you are at home basking in the warm glow of wifi does not compare with the face that on AT&T you can be in a car talking on the phone and check your email or make dinner reservations online at the same time over 3G.

Don't even...
FYI: Photoshop CS4 is 64-bit, but only in Windows. After-effects is also largely 64-bit.
I think his point is that there are few x64 versions of major browsers out.

Chrome 64-bit is only available for Linux
Firefox 64 bit is more of a side project, not a major release from Mozilla. Apparently they may be plans to have a major release of a 64-bit version when 4.0 comes out.
Safari is only 64 bit in Snow Leopard
Internet Explorer is the only major release 64 bit browser for Windows, that I know of.

Robert, I'm in the same boat. The GPS on my 3GS has always sucked. I took it in to the Apple Store and the genius told me that my firmware was probably corrupt and offered to restore it with their "special" firmware. He suggested that I also buy the tomtom dock. Yeah, whatever. I owned a 3G that never had problems with this. My 3GS seems to only use cellular triangulation which sucks for use in apps like Navigon.
@F

Funny you say that as, you are currently reading and commenting on a site affiliated with AOL.

I think Facebook is important to people and their lives much in the same way that AOL used to be. However, I don't really see the similarity otherwise. AOL was a service, but primarily it was kind of a walled garden approach to getting on the internet. It was a connection to the internet and a sort of pseuo-internet service in and of itself. Facebook lives on the internet. It is a service. It does not define how its users use the internet, which AOL was notorious for doing with it's reluctance to let users access the internet without their software. Other dial-up services simply offered a TCP/IP connection.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I love my little computing companion but I often find myself missing a full sized keyboard. I have been looking at several of these portable and flexible keyboards, but I can't seem to make up my mind about which I should buy. I don't want the keyboard to be overly expensive, but I want it to be good quality. Also, how difficult is it to type on these keyboards? Thanks!"
