Someone stab that woman in the background. I want to watch the map, not worry about what you are saying.
I agree. It's not like their sticking SSD's in these things.

Apple Emailed, they want their pricing structure back.
This story is like saying Honda Fit, now with Air Conditioning... It's true that previous models didn't have it, but why would we get all excited and abuzz about them finally joining the 1980's with a 3.5mm headphone jack!?

HTC should be ashamed of pulling this USB audio crap! I refuse to excited about them coming to their senses. My current HTC product will be my last.
Canon Full Frame digital bodies don't have pop-up flashes.

A good deal depends on 1 thing... the price.

If ATT has to pay too much to keep it exclusive it's not a good deal.

The bottom line is that without alternatives the customer ultimately loses. There are millions of people who are stuck on their current provider for more reasons than a 2 year contract and it wouldn't matter if the iPhone came with a personal assistant who watched your kids and picked up your dry cleaning they wouldn't be able to switch.

Apple doesn't care what network it's on as long as they get their $$$. It has nothing to do with the BS they keep talking about as the 'user experience'.
The worst idea in the wold is to REPLACE the dock connector with some micro-usb craptastic connector. First and foremost there are more iphone/ipod accessories than any other... and it's just starting to get enough market penetration that the prices are falling below ridiculous points for some gadgets. Say nothing of car stereos and other integrations that have had these connectors placed in them. I would be fairly pissed at apple. We might even see an FTC unfair/deceptive competition action from apple because around the 4th/5th gen when things really started taking off with accessories they stated that the connector was universal and that your stuff would be compatible with all future ipods. At best it would take 3+ generations of having multiple connectors on the device and then maybe you could pull the connector - but that's still a giant pain in the ass.

Any other connector and I would agree with you. Hell I think micro-usb is a stupid idea and we should have gone to mini-usb (Because people already have the damn cables) but noooooooooooo we need to sell more cables.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I need help! I want a small pocket camcorder but I'm not sure which one to get. I don't want to fall into the hype of the Flip because I worry two hours won't be enough. What should I be looking for when considering a small camcorder and where can I get a good quality one with expandable memory? Thanks!"
