Actually the problem is not the network used. Yes EDGE sux a lot but if you look at some of the pictures there is one with the connection settings for the blackberry and the max bitrate is set at 120 ( probably kbps ).

Now last I checked edge has no problem supporting that. The problem however is that Apple like always would like to control everything and I doubt Sling will go for that. Plus Blackberry gave Sling more than a generous offer considering the stiff competition that BlackBerry has been facing for the last couple of years...

well your razr sux balls in many aspects and much like the iphone is locked by your service provide. Although I must admit that in the case of the iphone AT&T has gone way too far. You are 100% on the money with the ridiculous price tag but I guess innovation has it's price ..

do you really believe that any major chain sells products at a loss (rebates really don't count since the store still gets your money)? It does happen in very rare occasions but PS3 is by no means a low demand item. So a major chain like Target will NEVER loose $100 on every PS3 that they sell. Also I am not sure if you know this but with most products there is up to 100% markup on the original price so that the store can cover expenses such as transportation cost employee salaries etc. This is why in places like bestbuy and CC you can get an employee discount which is 50% off the regular price on most products.
Also I never ment that Sony will stop a store from reducing the price. First of all this is illegal and 2nd ... well you really don't need 2nd.
Hey I'm all for a lower PS3 price because this is the major reason why I don't own one. Than and the fact that there are still not enough games out there. But it's way to early for any major sales.

too bad this news is actually not real. Also no store will drop the price by $100 unless Sony does that first. (not even for the Thanksgiving Sales). But there will most likely be a price drop soon. There is no other way that Sony can boost their sales and they really need to switch from PS2 sales to PS3. To me it's unbelievable how much of Sony's profit still comes from ps2 related sales. I think there is a lesson for MS here...

have you ever used the eraser? I very much doubt that. It's one of the best things that IBM ever came up with and it is just as useful as the touchpad. Plus it has none of the drawbacks of a touch pad like an accidental tap and such. Yes is takes about 5 min initially to get used to it but after than you would really wonder how you ever lived without this thing. Plus this is a 12" notebook and the less fat the better. People that by laptops that small really don't want double features. So maybe this is not a laptop for you but this is indeed a very well placed solution.

dude you're an idiot. Exactly what PS2 game runs at that resolution?

I think this update ( if it really works as promised ) alone is worth forking $600 bucks for a ps3. You get an upscaling dvd player with dolby output plus it's also a blue-ray player and you can also play games on it ... this right there is the center of my entertainment system and if it was bold I would like it to have my babies as well :D
