@kjb434: You wasted your breath telling people what to do instead of just giving the information requested. I Googled (on your suggestion) and still can't find out where to pre-order or what the price will be.

Anyone else care to be more helpful?
In the same way the MacBook displays create TRUE millions of colours, right?
@teej

You say that as if 2.35:1 is a new thing! Seen many old movies lately?
Using the same machine as a NAS and a backup drive is like "crossing the streams".
@nohone...

I don't know how you've set up your preferences in iTunes, but you can do exactly the same thing with iTunes on the Mac as on the PC. Any way you wish to reference your music is possible. iTunes will organise your music folder for you, or you can leave it switched off.
May I add to the comments here - I am in agreement with all of the above. What the DAB group don't seem to realise (despite everyone moaning for years) is that DAB in the UK is terrible, and that is why nobody buys into it. My main gripes:

1. It's too expensive
2. The quality is worse than both satellite and FM broadcasts
3 - and this is a long one but a real show-stopper for me: Digital codecs mean that different equipment decodes at different speeds. The whole point of radio for me is to wander round the house, sometimes with two or three radios on playing the same station. With DAB they just clash! And if I have another radio which is not digital (and let's face it, who can afford several digital radios) then they clash TERRIBLY.

Maybe they should think long and hard at why they're not doing very well before they rush headlong into switching off analogue.
Yep, the yanks have been moaning for years about the price of 'gas'. I remember when I first visited in 2000 they were moaning about the price being something like $1.50 per gallon. I couldn't believe what I was hearing!

So much for the $10 per gallon "joke", maybe y'all be thinking a bit harder about green issues WHEN it does happen to you. At that time you'll all be riding around on Segways and having the money to moan about looks vs green issues.
Does it also play bad cover versions of well-known eighties rock ballads?
1080p and cinema pulldown on the 40-inch ONLY?

Are Sony living in the past? Who still buys HD displays with less than 1080 vertical resolution?
I'm with you on this.

I left .Mac about three months ago. This changes nothing at all. The same services we get everywhere else but $99... Actually if I only paid $99 it'd be okay, but .Mac (MobileWee) in the UK is £69. That's more like $135.

Thanks but no thanks! Maybe I will think again if I get an iPhone, but this isn't enticing me back at all.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm pretty much a complete noob when it comes to camera stuff. My wife loves to take pictures, though. So much so that she literally wore out her first point and shoot camera, and the Kodak Z712 I bought for her less than two years ago is starting to act up as well. To compound the matter, we are expecting our first born sometime next year. I fear the Kodak just isn't going to cut it any longer. What would be the best starter DSLR to get? She hates missing photo opportunities due to camera 'lag' so speed would definitely be at the top of the list. Photo quality and features would be next. Price should be no more than $800. I'm not interested in video capabilities."
