Leopard is finally available. Great.

Time to buy my iMac. Wait... Why does it still say it comes with OS X 10.4 Tiger? Will iMacs now ship with Leopard pre-installed or come with the upgrade DVD?
I am a Comcast customer in Chicago. Unfortunately, the company I work for uses Lotus Notes. Even more unfortunate is that Comcast's attempt to put a lid on file sharing prevents my Lotus Notes email client to send anything over 2MB. I raised a trouble ticket with customer service two weeks ago. They said they'd get back to me, but never did. I'm switching back to DSL soon.
BRING BACK COBOL !!!
Motorola's new RAZR2 has the micro-USB interface. Are there any other mobiles on the market now which has micro-USB?
I agree, battery life will be shorter with their 3G version. Question is by how much? Are you guys happy with the current iPhone battery life?

The killer app for the iPhone is A-GPS, i think. Hopefully, AT&T will get their A-GPS infrastructure and service up quickly. The phone technology is already there. Google maps app will need an upgrade. I'm thinking street-level view turn-by-turn navigation.
EDGE is not 3G. It's referred to as 2.5G. Here's the evolution....

GSM (2G) -> EDGE (2.5G) -> WCDMA (3G) -> HSDPA -> HSUPA -> HSPA+ -> LTE

LTE is/has been called 3.9G and WiMax is referred to 4G. However, LTE *should* have the higher data rates of 50MB up 100MB dn. HSPA+ is akin to EDGE and is being pushed by Qualcomm. HSUPA should be coming soon to the 3G operators. If Sprint/Nextel, Clearwire and others who rollout WiMax have success expect AT&T and T-Mobile to push up their HSPA+ and LTE plans. So go out and support the WiMax rollout.
T-Mobile USA 3G is in the FDD4 frequency band of WCDMA. AT&T uses FDD2 and FDD5.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just switched to Sprint from Verizon about three months ago for the Pre. Then I went for the Hero about a week ago. Now, I miss my hardware keyboard and am thinking about switching to the Moment. I am still able to switch back to Verizon if I want and get the Droid when it arrives. Should I just trade up to the Moment when it comes out, see if I like it, and if not switch to the Droid? Or something else entirely? Help!"
