@WickedEast what part of the sentence; "Apple also says Nokia wanted unreasonable license terms for the patents, including a cross-license for Apple's various iPhone device patents as part of any deal, which Apple clearly wasn't willing to do"
do you not understand ... they just should have gone for their own IP and not of that of Apple included ...
So Nokia got what it deserve's, they wanted key Apple patents for use + some extra money ... They didn't get so they sue, and now Apple sues back ... Why people are claiming here that Apple is the big bad one is beyond me, but that is to be expected I guess ... Up until know you could have given Nokia the benefit of the doubt, that they where just protecting their patents, truth is they wanted a lot more.
@Bobbo No it isn'y ... - Noise cancelation handsfree costs around 60 - cradle with charger costs around 40 - ergonomics ... only one device and not two, with two cables sticked to wherever you find the place to stick it - and extra gps for even iPod Touches ... and that for 30 bucks pretty cheap to me
To all the people who don't understand why you want the maps in the phone ... - if you live in europe, you need to roam a lot while driveing from country to country ... it costs a fortune ... so 130 is peanuts - for people who want a sub 100 dollar dedicated unit, they re rubbish, most off them are stripped down of most POI are slow ... bad screen hardly readable, I could go on ... For 130 you also get noise cancelation Handsfree ... I have Navigon europe it is by far the best navigation I have had, and I had them all TomTom included ... Oh and best of it ONE devices ... and yeah I can call and navigate at the same time ...;-)
Problem, I can't buy this app on Android or Winmo Problem, Android and Winmo doen't have a standard HW connector, although this app works over Bluetooth, other companies active in medical space have developed measurement devices that connect to the dock ... there is no such a standard adopted by Android or Winmo ... Problem, I would not like to have others apps steel precious cpu cycles when the device is interacting with a wheelchair ....
@ WindowsFTW you realize that most of the things you mentioned can be done on the iphone too ... you can get a call, and at the same time use navigation like TomTom or email or consult contacts or calendaring ... all core Apple Apps run in the background ... even play your favorite game and listen to the iPod function ... So most of what you mention just works, there are things that do not work like for example listening to pandora and use other apps ...
Well, I give up, 10 seconds to load calculation app is so much faster then the iPod Touch, web browsing is so much faster, and gives you the "full" website version like the iPhone 3G, I switch to the Zune HD ... those 8 cores are rocking indeed.
@kazbaeden a read that to, but it's marketing at its worst, They state in press release 8 cores, but on the specification page, they name only 3 main units, the CPU, GPU and AV processor ... The cpu, has indeed more "cores" in their dictionary that is, but all they do is count the different instruction sets, read here detail of all ARM technologies; http://www.arm.com/products/CPUs/architecture.html
So either they define each core, or they should at least number the cores correctly on their own specifications sheet, which all of a sudden you guys leave out, as the only thing standing now is a "PR" press release ;-)
Anyway lets see the first tests, I couldn't care less how many cores it has, I'm just trying to lower the expectations so that you guys are not let down when it is established performance is in the same ballpark then all other PMP's out there. Mark my worts, it will not be 2x faster, not 1.5x faster ... we will not see any spectacular difference, and that is a missed opportunity. If they had used a dual core ARMv7 ... then it would have HW specs that would be woaw, now it's just meh
"What's the best gaming laptop for under 1,500 bucks? I had my eye on the P7805u (Gateway), but it seems Best Buy has run out for the time being. Also, as a secondary question, I like the specs on brands such as iBUYPOWER and CyberPower and the like, but are they reliable? I'm a little worried about buying labels that aren't huge like Dell, Gateway, etc. Thanks!"
