iPhone finally here, the Western Civilization is saved - Page 15

Sorry Brian, I had to.

The only things that give me a technology hard-on are mechanical watches, and the one I've got my heart set on is going to set me back ten times that much.

You're telling me about a cell phone? Let me show you what I thought of my last one.

While I'm suspect of this thing's reliability and longevity, I'll admit the design is nice.

For all of Apple's presumed "Fascist" tendencies, their design department is superior to most other firms.

That's hilarious. I don't mind Apple jokes... I LIKE Apple jokes.

Like I said, I don't put my MBP on my lap. But it never gets scalding hot, just uncomfortably hot. Perhaps the new MBP with the Santa Rosa chipset improved on the old shortcomings. I do recall my PowerBook never got anywhere near this heat level, though.

Ditto. I even had the "iProduct" one on my office door.


If anything, my rev. A MBP is cooler on the bottom than my rev. A PowerBook G4 was.

LK, I would think you'd be the first to point out that fascism and well-executed design are not necessarily contradictory qualities.

ipod and the iphone = more podastrians running around oblivious of the word.. sigh...

People are praising it for having a "GPS" function - although it isn't real-time GPS. It will draw up the map and directions for you, but you need to MANUALLY click through the steps as you drive to your destination. First of all, I have a TomTom One and I could not imagine having to manually instruct it to go to the next direction (it does that automatically, obvs). Second, the device is attached to the windshield - where do you put an iphone when you're driving? I am still with traditional GPS devices all the way here.

Although the accuracy of the maps will likely be the same - Google Maps pulls data from the same place my GPS device does (TeleAtlas). It's just that the iPhone won't update the directions in "real time."

No, most successful Fascist regime utilized a coherent and well-executed esthetic criterion to consolidate and hold power. And that includes military uniforms and regalia.

dude, he is in Tokyo. The fucking Motherland for tech. Phones there blow away the iPhone and have had the same features (minus shitty touch screen) for ages.

So -1 for you for being a tool

Next time I'll pull out my geographical mind reading abilities before replying to someone.

Awesome. Looks like Apple nailed another product. I'll grab one 2nd revision. Is this thing coming out in Japan?

The video demo of the keyboard is pretty cool:

It's very impressive how much they accounted for.

None of the web features will likely work there, considering that EDGE is outdated here, and our new stuff has been outdated in Japan for 5 years.
