I'm surprised a little.

I thought engadget would have had the FCC filing for these weeks ago =p

I would love to have that eBay app. Heck, it would be great as a desktop widget, let alone on the iPhone.

It's a pity that it took all this time and Apple to bring really innovative applications to mobile devices whilst we WinMo users had to make due with laggy freeware or homebrew versions of what we were after all these years.

*sigh*

Alms for the guy without an iPhone? ; )

Guys...Apple are not going to give you a 32GB iPhone 2.0..yet.

They're going to wait until you've all paid them a high-end price for the 16GB version..and then when you've just started enjoying your purchase, they'll announce it and drop the price of YOUR one by $50-100.

Take a lesson from what happened the last time ..wait :)

You won't like the sound of this, but it's effectively the truth.

Apple feel that if you were willing to go out and spend X amount on your Touch (probably a high amount, regardless of what X was), you can afford to pay them more money without a gripe.

It's bullshit to say the least - having been the owner of more than a dozen types of PDA's and MP3 players, they have go to be the first company with the audacity to charge for upgrades everyone else would give out for free.

The iPhone 2.0, whilst competitively priced is still quite expensive in the long run. I think one of the major selling points of the first iPhone was that people were able to go out, buy it over the counter or on eBay and simply unlock the thing - unfortunately, I have a feeling that Apple are going to try curbing on this (but not stopping it completely) with the 3G iPhone.

I would be a lot more stoked about this news if they also began offering "unlocked" versions for a higher price.

my two cents.

This will go down as the stuff of Marketing legend at Engadget HQ.

There and nowhere else, for only at Engadget HQ would you find people so enthused about a product or company, the mere cardboard to it's box is enough to make them swoon.

I imagine most of them sleep on beds padded with old iPod boxes.

"What kind of phone doesn't have copy and paste...JEEEEEZ AAPL !"


"Hmm.. I dunno... most of them?"


You've never used a phone with Windows Mobile, have you?

This can't be true....like seriously. It's Heath Ledger for crying out loud!.

I do a lot of heavy processing...research work, video encoding..things like that.

My dual-core boots Vista up in an instant and as for DVD encoding - 260 minutes in under 1.5 hours?. I'm pretty happy with it.

Although quad-core may the new dual-core, I don't think I'll be switching until Windows 7 comes out.

Here's the difference between Windows and OSX...

When MS update something, they don't make a big deal about it. They quietly release fixes and necessary updates through Windows Update on a weekly basis and if there are any *major* problems with anything, they try their best to take care of it with a HotFix. This, from what I know, is the case with IE7 as is it the case with other core Windows/Vista components.

An SP update pack pretty much such bundles all the most important HotFixes from a period together and releases it to the public - during that time, you are free to get any of the individual fixes as you so please either automatically or manually from Microsoft's website.

I think a point some Windows fans are trying to make are that it would be nice if Apple did something similar. ie - released updates *as soon* as they've been given the clear, as opposed to waiting for their version of an SP update. It's not a fanboysish comment to make - it's a logical one. Surely you're not afraid to demand syuch things from Apple for your loyalty?.


On another note - I think it's petty for both sides to be making childish comments about the pricing for both OS's. They are based on different price structures - as a post-grad, I can get Vista for free. If I wanted to update from XP or any other version of Windows, I won't be paying for the price of a full-OS. Similarly, most Mac fan's will chalk up to OSX being worth the prices they're willing to pay for it.

Seriously?. Grow up and quit taking every chance you've got to troll posts like this.
