I don't feel sorry for these people. There's no shortage of horrible working conditions across the globe...and these people can quit whenever they want.

Stuff.

And things.

Who cares about tuning? Now you can play complex rhythms with your dingus.

Take that, Tommy Lee + boat horn.

Being able to directly select a word for a definition or an item inside the kindle store seems better than scroll-clicking (sometimes multiple times). Jim Treacher makes an excellent point about fingerprints, although it doesn't seem too distracting on either of my phones.

smib is correct about book retrieval, however I meant navigation of the kindle store...which seems a little slow to me. It would probably help if I actually said that...

I, too, appreciated Optimalrobot's joke.

With any luck, the new version will sport:

1) A touch-screen
2) Repositioned side buttons
3) Faster whispernet
4) A better protective binder

Copy/paste, WiFi, E-mail, etc. would be nice as well, but if it's got those four items, I'm sold.

@Paul

I am over-simplifying for the sake of argument, but (pulling from wikipedia):

Xbox has sold 28 million units sold worldwide, as of 1.5.09. Assuming that every purchaser bought the "Core" version at the American price of $279, we’re talking 7.8 billion dollars.

Add in 17 million Xbox Live subscribers...assuming 10 million are Gold (which seems low)...and they are making somewhere between 500 and 1 billion dollars every year (again, at the American rates).

And this doesn't include downloadable content sales, extra accessory sales, etc.

To be certain - this is hardly air-tight logic, but I don’t think it’s implausible to assume that the Xbox division might (finally) be turning a profit.

Dude! I can't wait until I load up on the newest apple crap...

I'll descend on the closest Starbucks and be the coolest/poorest pantywaist in the joint.
