I use to follow their product line so here's what I know, Zoom in the name is their standard compact model line, Pro is the 'professional'-expensive-heavy line, Hi-Zoom is their 7x zoom compact line, and Card refers to their super slim line. After the EX-Z prefix, the number of digits denotes the camera's pecking order with each line. The more digits in the number, the more/better features a model will have. (Z1200 is a notch better than Z200, is two notch better than Z75, etc.) After that, the higher number indicates a later generation in the same order (ex. Z100 = 1st Gen, Z200 = 2nd Gen, Z300 = 3rd Gen, etc.). That said, I would never buying a Casio camera again. Bought two different models as gifts, both broke within the first month. No drops, no abuse. From what I understand, Casios has had serious issues with their anti-shake mechanism. The recipients had no sales receipts since they were gifts, so no free fix, despite the fact that the models hadn't been on the market for more than two months. Expensive doorstops.
Puerto Rico is Puerto Rico. The United States is the United States. And we'll nuke anyone who says Puerto Rico isn't part of the United States. Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, etc? Any takers?
Why would they put fortune cookies? Fortune cookie is not a traditional Chinese thing. It's a Californian thing. There isn't even a proper Chinese phrase for it. Maybe if Apple has as much understanding of the outside world as our president, they would put fortune cookies... I had hoped that they are a little more intelligent than that.
urmmm.... read the description on the site. It's an iPhone meant for Hongkong, not Taiwan. Saying that this is an iPhone for China, though misleading, is correct.
The video and pictures showed an iPhone sporting traditional character interface. That's not meant for mainland as they use the simplified characters.
Late to the game is a false statement as China had the iPhone for ages despite the fact that it wasn't officially available to mainland at the time. They were all contraband of course, but each sports fully translated simplified Chinese interface and even improved functionality, and from what I understand, great customer service from the hacker community. Who's to say apple didn't ripoff the hacker's work in delivering the 'official' product for the mainland market this time around?
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm heading to university next year, and I've purchased a MacBook. I'm also taking my four year old desktop, just in case I'm left with no computers when the MacBook is being repaired or whatnot. With only two USB ports on a MacBook, I want a Bluetooth mouse. Budget is about $100, and of course, it needs OS X support. Thanks for the help!"
