I'd only pay that much for earbuds if they were unbreakable.
Can they make those buttons any more plain looking?

Seriously, they oughta hire an unemployed graphics designer who knows about the existence of color and maybe how to add subtle texture to buttons as well.
Get multi-touch into the US version
Increase resolution
Speed up CPU / performance
How many cameras (and it's only one that's there is it front facing or on the rear?)? Will there be mini keyboards available for it? Wait that's a dumb question it has USB ports.
This, i think, could be a major win.
@tommy2468 That does sound like a good idea .. actually i could think of many scenarios by which insurgents thinking they have a live feed could actually help the troops. So I guess it may be part of a tactic after all. I guess the problem is when stuff like this leaks out in the media the public may hasten to "fix" the problem when actually there's some advanced tactic to why they did it.
@trainwrecka It's possible to get a plan without data service, but if you get a subsidized phone they force u to get a data plan as a way of getting back their money. That also kinda shows that their actual cost for provided the data service isn't all that high. I dont mind paying more if I knew they were investing in capacity expansion.

So terrorists knowing if particular safe houses etc. are being watched is not gonna be of use to them? And about it being useless without coordinates .. that's bogus .. I'm sure many of them could recognize stuff if they see a landmark or distinguishing feature of buildings in the vicinity.
And it does put troops in jeopardy because it could help the insurgents avoid being caught. And in a battle situation it may even show troop locations or at least provide situational awareness.
I woulda thought it should be far less than 50% extra since it's a very small delta between the left eye frame and the right eye frame that has to be stored .. and even that delta should be highly compressible.
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!"
