Bear in mind emergency calls may not be able to go through if the network is crippled; though I doubt it will effect it to that extent.

Feels for the Apple Store employees - tough when there is nothing you can do but watch :-/

In all honesty the servers should be backed-up, especially as Danger (which now means Microsoft) is the only major device producer that uses next to 100% Cloud Storage for users data. They should have known the risks, and responded to them early on. I hope the PR department had nothing planned for their Sunday.

This is completely hypothetical, I'm not staking my life on it but... one of the key features of iPhoto is now 'Places', which uses the GPS reference taking from geo-tagging, such as on the iPhone. It might seem weird for Apple to introduce millions of point and shoot cameras that don't take advantage of this feature in iPhoto. What do you think? The GPS tag doesn't need a data plan to be received.

@erfan they did go on about it a lot a few month ago when it was to-ing and fro-ing. so i dont know why they're neglecting it now :-S

I get QuickTime needing to restart, the whole OS relies on it, it can't change without restarting. But Safari? Anyone know the explanation?

I think its just too big for it to just be for existing Cloud services, such as MobileMe or the AppStore, even the iTunes Store with its HD programmes. Speculation on this one could be huge but... what if the whole OS (or at least a large percentage of it) moved to the Cloud? Although the idea does sound stupid (i mean come on, how fast would a tablet be running Mac OS X over the 3G network?) Perhaps it could just be used for storing files? That way a tablet device, or Mac OS iPhone product, could utilise it rather than its own storage, removing the need for a physically large Hard or small memory wise Flash Drive. How big are Skype's servers?

I think they mean there facing the street, thus being entrances. I could be wrong though :-)

I agree, but you have to keep in mind that Kindle uses the 3G network to get content to the device - which they pay for not the user (although I'm sure someone could argue that the higher price point covers it). In your analogy, it's the same as getting a laptop with a 3G card in it, then charging the content provider for your usage instead of you. I still feel it is a complete load of BS that it is 70%, it's a ridiculously high percentage that undermines the writers of the content. Grr.

What a load of bollocks. They take a product with amazing potential and screw it over. Biggest disappointment yet if you ask me. Its selfish and greedy, especially looking at the price they are charging for the device itself.

The product has made Kindle 2 owners angry and now will make Newspapers angry. They should have thought about this more, and done more negotiating to get deals that are meaningful to customers and to companies, as well as the device. Grrr. 70% Grr.
