Are you guys HIGH?!?!?!
The 15"
THE MBP does NOT have the same processor or battery life.
This is a Quad core, multi-thread... to show up as 8cores!
This can go up to 16gb of ram.. and CS4 can run in 64 bit more and actually USE this .. unlike OSX where i can only run 32 bit !!
Stop being mactards and actually look at the specs!

Exploit?

Its a feature/ability.

Ok if you're a knucklehead it can be exploited asn set it up to be open.
But if you're a knucklehead you probably will do other dumb things as well.

Its like saying , there is an new danger for stepping in front of moving traffic.... no duh !!

Zak, Casper was mentioning the model not the company.

The company doesn't have specs and YOU look like a douche trying to catch people on apple versus mac name game and avoiding the actual specs.

You might as well check for spelling (like DAT), as this might also help you with reality and pc-envy. ( So he missed you're instead of your - that doesn't mean he's wrong in every other argument he has).

No its BETTER than a mac, regardless of what it looks for.
Oh and it seems to be designed better for ventilation rather than shininess.

"Still the sweet spot is on a single quad i7 for the best bang for the bucks. 2 i7 quad computers are cheaper and render faster than a single 8 cores Xeon machine anyway."

True but this is great for work with running VM servers.
VMware basically charges per CPU and not per core.

So I wonder what they are going to do, now that Intel will basically half their price offereing for VM servers?!?
They might do nothing, as THIS might be a huge push to run to virtual servers.

Poor implementation of Push Email. There’s no way my IT department is going to replace any of our BlackBerry’s with iPhones. Things the iPhone can’t do but other phones can do:

* Only the inbox can be set to synchronize – subfolders can be accessed but no synchronization policy can be set
* No Flagging on email
* Cannot set Out of Office message
* No Hot Keys for managing messages
* Difficult to get to Global Address List
* No support for Activesync Schedule (eg. push during work hrs – pull outside of that)
* No Smart Filtering
* No ability to change sort order of email messages
* No support for Server Search of email messages
* Trying to delete messages or move them when you don’t have connectivity generates lots of errors messages and you cannot actually delete or move when offline
* Message status is not set on the server for replying/forwarding to an email, similarly the status from the server is not provided to the iPhone
* You cannot automatically set attachments to download
* There is no control over maximum attachment size
* You can’t see the number of unread or new emails without unlocking the device
* No ability to invite attendees to a meeting
* You cannot provide a reason for declining meetings
* Attendee status is not available
* There is no click through to get access to information from the GAL for a participant
* No support for setting Out of Office message
* You cannot delete a single occurrence of a recurring meeting – you can only delete the whole series
* Cannot enforce Storage or device encryption
* Remote wipe doesn’t seem to be immediate and restore requires recradling to iTunes
* PIN unlock timeout is not enforced on the iPhone
* You have to ‘slide’ to unlock – then enter the PIN code to unlock the device

Granted, a lot of these are advanced features. However, why make a big deal about Push Email if you aren’t going to make it a better Push Email experience? After all, with Safari you can check your webmail and get a lot of those features.

Battery life. Smartphone users know that manufacturers have faced class-action lawsuits over battery life. Most manufacturers offer jumbo-sized batteries as a cheap alternative to get out of the lawsuit. This larger battery usually adds bulks to the form factor of the device.

1st gen iPhone users forced Apple to hand out coupons and refunds after Apple slashed the price of the iPhone shortly after release. You can bet that iPhone Nation is going to be unhappy with the iPhone 3G battery life…especially after they’ve gotten 6-8 months of charges on the device.

Those are some basic reasons experienced smartphone users won’t like the 3G iPhone not to mention:

* No video recording
* No focus on the camera
* No light on the camera
* No zoom on the camera
* No recording of audio on the device
* No physical keyboard
* AT&T exclusivity
* No Cut and Paste
* No Stereo bluetooth
* Can you send MMS yet? (I don’t know)

Now knowing this and that the HTC touch can do all these things plus has added features like viewing DivX.

Who pwns who ? This is why those that are not sheep look for function not fashion in their phone.

ITS CALLED A BETA RELEASE NOT A FULL SDK RELEASE ( to give propaganda some fire)

Yes there is an additional CHARGES - 90-100 bucks.

Many applications use JAVA to then RUN flash applications. Thats why neither are vailable.

MS MOBILE>??
"Free; could be more depending on tools used" -
Basically a lie as it's free. But there are additional tools that will cost extra if you choose to use them. Flash tools as an example but that's not MS's

ENGADGET stop sugar coating it !

Dam I want one and this is much better than the Touch, Mogul, or most things out there because.. the processor !!
Bloody Fast processor !!!!

I'll better you on that.
You know the guys at the airport fueling the trucks that fuel the planes.
Those guys used to drink all the time.
Imagine, guys sitting on a million gallons of high octane jetfuel (not diesel), drinking.
But alas, nothing happened and they did their job well.

Helio is a little bit different and has a greater following and piggy backing off of sprint.
