But isn't the target demographic newly minted Russian Millionaires? If that is true I think they have a real winner of a product on their hands.

Well, with the news that all 8800 cards will fail early, you can now buy them for $6.99/lb...

I also get my own FAIL! here...

1 month and 25 days early...

It's still to early...

Have a nice day...

Don't choke on it...

Or two months and 25 days early, if you correctly interpret the date (for LV anyway)...

FAIL! :P

I haven't had that speaker buzzing problem since the late '90s...

What kind of phone do you have?

Yeah the only possible benefit to making them bigger (their frame/case not the actual chips of course) would be for cooling (space out the chips some; add a 20mm fan?), but since in their current "brick" layout they aren't having any heat issues in the first place even that possibility offers no real benefit.

Theoretically though they could be making 512GB+ 3.5" drives with the same tech/chips they are using now. But I am not sure if they are keeping to the 2.5" form factor solely because they presume (rightly so) that these drives will be used in lappies 95% of the time, or if it would be difficult/impossible for the current controllers to manage as much storage as they could shoehorn into a 3.5" form factor...

I wouldn't be too surprised to see a performance oriented desktop SSD in the near future though. Something to compete with the Veloci-Raptor, possibly in the 3.5" format... Who knows...

My previous comment was @Ronald btw...

I presume that you are extremely optimistic about these SSDs having a significantly reduced failure rate over the previous versions?

Or otherwise, you just enjoy losing data?

You represent your Jesuit namesake well.

How in the FCUK are neither of these phones slated for a GSM version release?!? CDMA is utter garbage and both of these phones which were originally designed to be GSM are now having a DUAL launch as CDMA in the states?

FCUK HTC, FCUK Sprint, FCUK Verizon...

And FCUK T-Mob for not launching 3G sooner, or having any balls when it comes to snagging decent phones!
