well, the current version far surpasses any other platform's application... so we'll be ok for a year or two regardless :-P

all that extra battery time will allow me to annoy my friends even more by tweeting non-stop! :-P

i can haz prizes?

This makes no sense. I understand that data and voice cannot occur at the same time on EDGE, but to claim that voice calls will be impossible after push notifications are enabled is ridiculous. TUAW has lost all credibility... I will definitely be getting my Apple news from other sources in the future. Congratulations on losing what I'm guessing is a ton of loyal readers!

ummmm... it looks like an old Apple Newton :-P way to keep up with the times, iriver!

too bad it's fugly! If only the Thinkpad had changed even a little in the last decade. I'd take a MacBook Air with its built-in battery (which I'm sure still gets better life) anyday

yes, Netflix is cheaper and allows unlimitied VoD for WINDOWS users only... they have promised Mac support since its inception almost a year ago and have yet to deliver (and probably never will). That's the reason I'm considering dropping Netflix in favor of the slightly more expensive AppleTV rentals, and I feel that many loyal Mac users will consider doing the same.

How about some news in exchange for a nice bluetooth headset to go with my now-$200-cheaper iPhone, or Helio to see what all the comparison is about, or an EV-DO card to see just how pathetic my EDGE speeds are :-P ... if you bought your 8gb iPhone on your American Express, you can call the Purchase Protection line and they'll credit the $200 to your account. The rep I talked to said that it isn't normally covered for price changes, but that they are making an exception in this case. Hope I win!

I was under the impression that he DID design the Walkman, but he definitely DIDN'T design the iMac.

The external design and the main menu (with the transparent clock and buttons at the bottom) are very attractive. If the whole interface looked like that, I'd be tempted to compare it to the iPhone when making a purchase decision. However, in the video, you can see that after the main menu the interface starts to resemble every other phone out there and LG didn't make very good use of the large touch screen. For me it's still the iPhone, hands down.
