Zak's comment was stupid for two reasons.

1. It's showing what is assume as the first supposed aerial footage taken from a iPhone 3GS tethered from a RC plane. That's the point with people who are amazed by the video. It would have been great if there was a video to see the iPhone being attached to the RC plane.
2. The sound quality is not poor or loud. The is a lot of noise because of the plane's motor and the wind. Also, the author did indicated this on YouTube.

Many iPhone/iPod fans get really excited about anything iPhone/iPod. It is just part of their culture. Also, this is Engadget where anything about an iPhone/iPod is news.

One the first point I will accept that this was an actual iPhone attached to an RC plane. It really doesn't excite me, since their have been aerial shots for RC planes long before the iPod existed.

Quick get me a time machine.

"It also disables devices falsely pretending to be iPods." Apple thinks media devices that are attempting to connect to iTunes API is pretending to be an iPod. So, my question to Apple is how can devices from other manufacturers connect to iTunes? Apple is so scared of its own shadow, or is it that they are afraid that they will become a victim of anti-trust legislation.

It is easy to suspect that one person placed large a bid in attempts to frustrate other bidders. Then a second bidder decided to do the same thing.

Yes, companies actually do research on various solutions that they want to investigate. This is normal part of doing business, this is what the research department is for. I mean... what every.

It seems that Axxis has done a lot of research and development into this product. It is good that companies continue to work on new technologies.

The concern of game developers are more about user base than the high cost of the PS3. The game developers seem to believe that it is the high price of the PS3 that reduced the sale of their games. However, have they developed games for the PS3 that have made consumers what to buy the PS3 just to play their games. It is hard to understand by companies like Activision want Sony to lose money so that they can make a profit.

Having seen SSD in action, it is great to hear that greater capacity are arriving. However, I would have to read the specs before passing judgment.

Yes, it can be agreed that the iPhone 3G S out preformed the Pre. However, the methodology used by the author to come to the conclusion is flawed. The 11% is actually a meaning less number, because it assume that the test performed by each tester was identical. Which it is obvious it was not.

This is kind of an interesting ad by Sony. Contrived, yes, but still interesting.

I still think it is to small. More that the screen is too long for its height.
