Sinceramente me sorprendió que la calidad de la cámara no pase de los 2mp y sin vídeo. Y de la implementacion de GPS ni se diga.

Lo que mas vale destacar, para todos uds. que no han leído, es que todos los iPhone tendrán que ser activados en la tienda que los distribuya. Creo que como plataforma, como evolucion del ordenador, esta en una posición inmejorable. El subsidio de las compañia telefónicas es clave para que un aparato del nivel del iPod sea realmente asequible. Como plataforma le lleva fácilmente ventaja a todos los demás por la ejecución de la pantalla táctil y base instalada de programadores de software.

Como todos los iPods, este iPhone estrategicamente deja mucho margen de mejoramiento. De momento, creo que le han encontrado el precio adecuado para un producto revulsivo para un mercado mermado por el conformismo y mediocridad de interfaces móviles.

Is there a browser for the Mac platform that actually does drop down menus correctly.

I'm new to OSX and am surprised at some of these little details that upset me.
Wow Engadget I don't know what to say to this specially since the Super Bowl is... 8 MONTHS AWAY!

They should've advertised during the World Cup for that matter!
What makes me laugh is that the only way the Zune triumphs it will be by amalgamating the features the iPod offers through accessories.
Sxcop,

I am surprised that people don't read their dictionary (including the Engadget folks who admitted their amazement of Apple's choice of name: iPod).

The third meaning or Pod is:

A casing or housing forming part of a vehicle, as:

A streamlined external housing that encloses engines, machine guns, or fuel.

Aerospace. A detachable compartment on a spacecraft for carrying personnel or instrumentation.

Something resembling a pod, as in compactness.
3rdsun,

What the heck does a made up noun like Zune have to do with a 3 dimensional figure portraying the wi-fi connectivity of the device?

At Best Buy the defective Xbox 360 consoles was 2%~5%, which differs with other merchants. Such defective numbers are unacceptable for a video game console. It has as you may have heard been one of the most defective consoles ever.

The next-gen iPod will put everything to rest. Apple's interactive click-wheel patent will prevent people like MS from getting near them.

Apple already has their feet cemented with a billion tracks with drm that will tether them to the iPod. Even if Microsoft does let new adopters download the songs you purchased at iTunes for free on Urge, all the music VIDEOS and shows you already bought will be missing. This is the possible strategy that can make Microsoft a strong competitor. And MS will need to pay up big time. For what? Is the profit margin of less than 25% worth it? Of course not. It's just hype.

If MS is willing to take a huge loss, for the sake of monopolizing, then I think the anti-iPod people like most of you, are rooting for the greater evil.











Actually the logo seems as intricate and redundant --just like the whole Windows platform.

Actually Apple did know music right from the beggining. They chose the right format (AAC or Mpeg4), and unlike Sony, Apple has always had a great UI which has been so important to their success.

Also, I highly doubt that transferring music files, for obvious legal reasons. Whatever features this MicroBrick may have is already being added to the next-gen iPod.

It is too late in the game for Zune to replace the iPod's established popularity. It will be just another alternative to people that are willing to sacrifice ease of use for features the mainstream market doesn't need.

I would be a relly concerned Apple stockholder, if they gave up on the iPhone. That, people, will be Apple's killing touch in the portable market. They just need to find the right carrier, if they are to prevent a huge failure like Helio.

Apple will not be beaten by a company with such unrealiable chip suppliers that have yielded a 2% defective rate of the XBOX 360 (a stat a Best Buy manager confirmed).
Actually, "fils" is French for "son".
The iPod, phenomenom, unlike the Walkman is capitalizing on a proprietary content source, built-in to the UI. I think iTunes needs to address the AAC bitrate quality issue.

However, I think the very essence of Tower's success is the nostalgic holding on by its customer base, who still see in CDs and vinyls, the true source for quality music.

I don't think the conversion to digital music is going to be fast, given the fallible nature of the computers which archive it. We're really in a point in which we're beginning to scrutinize the real value of all the impulsive buys of singles on iTunes, that I still think Cds have 5-10 more years of life left.
There is nothing left to protect, the US team has been eliminated thanks to biased referees.

Looks like the local authorities got their work cut out for them.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"What is the best wireless surround sound speaker solution? I have a home theater where running wires is just not feasible. I have my own speakers, so I don't want a system that has speakers with integrated wireless. I've done a far amount of research and have only come across a few companies that even offer a reasonable solution: KEF, Kenwood and Rocketfish. Is there anything else out there? What do you recommend? Thank you!"
