Oh I completely agree. You put a 2G and a 3G side by side and you can barely tell them apart.
:|
Sarcasm aside, if you look at them internally, the iPhone 1 and iPhone 2 (3G) are almost identical. Even Apple acknowledged this by calling the iPhone 3G the iPhone 1,2 internally. The first iPhone to get a iPhone 2,1 designation was the iPhone 3GS, indicating it was a new design. If the iPhone 3G was a 'complete redesign' as you said, Apple would have named it with a new internal code to reflect this; however it did not.
Seriously - people think that an exterior update is more significant that the internals...? The 3GS was serious update over the 3G - faster processor, better camera with video, better BT, faster 3G, better screen, higher capacity, etc.
The 2G > 3G update was the lamest of the bunch so far (especially since a lot of people agree the metal case was a better decision than the plastic)
Exactly. Why cannot every see this? The iPhone 3GS was a massive jump internally over the iPhone 1 / iPhone 2 (3G). The 3G was one of the lamest of the iPhone updates to date.

Why not just get an 8GB iPod Touch? Is the camera feature an absolute must?
I have one. A camera would really come in handy, a microphone would be nice for recording music ideas and speakers would be great for sharing videos and music (I use in-ear headphones). I know I could get separate devices for cheaper but it would be nice to have everything in one.
If you guys don't work something out, they're in the US apple refurb store for $349 - I'm guessing the CAN store isn't too far off that since they're trading at nearly 1:1.
Apple doesn't sell iPhones to Canadians.

Thats why I bought 8GB memory and 256GB SSD from Apple in my new MBP. Compatibility and the fact that if ANYTHING goes wrong with it I don't have to futz with it.

Hi,
I just bought an iPhone 4, and was looking for a nice wallpaper. Then I saw the default surfing wallpaper, it looked nice to me and I setted it as wallpaper. I also did this for my iPad, now I want it too for my MBP 13''. So I moved the wallpaper from my iPad to my Mac, but it looks horrible as the resolution is 1024 x 704. My Mac's resolution is 1280 x 800. It just doesn't look nice. So in iPhoto I resized it to 1280 x 800 but it still doesn't look nice. I dont' have Photoshop, but I know with Photoshop you can do almost everything with a picture. So can you 'master photoshoppers' please resize the image to
1280 x 800 without pixelization, as I'm almost certain that is possible in Photoshop.
Thanks
The Wallpaper:
Dude, the only way to get it without pixelation (as far as I know) is to use Vector Graphics. Try Tineye (http://www.tineye.com).
It may help you with finding that image.

I can scrape my PDA (Dell Axim) up and down my carpet with no visible scratching.
let me guess "just for ***** and giggles"! :)
i can honestly see this as apple covering all their bases with a patent for any 'good idea' that has been discovered. as we are well aware, apple rules the roost in the digital audio player market, and i can see this as a way to protect such a valuable asset to the company.
i expect it to have no physical buttons, and use some of the mentioned technology, but in an even more intuative way!

I'm fairly sure you're not the only one who has the same concern, especially when iPad threads get derailed.
A few years ago, when the iPhone came out and the iPhone forums were set up, there were also a lot of threads in there about other phones and manufacturers, which seemed to annoy a lot of people and draw a lot of hostile discussion, so much so that I created a poll and placed it as a sticky in there to gauge how people felt about using the iPhone forums in this way.
From memory, after 3-4 months of leaving the poll open, I think it split fairly evenly, with about half of the iPhone regulars wanting to keep it purely iPhone-related, the other half wanting to talk about rival smartphones in the iPhone forum.
There was some discussion about having a policy where we would move Nokia-related threads (for instance) into Community Discussion, a practice that didn't really work out and doesn't seem to have been continued, perhaps because the problem has subdued a little or that it didn't represent an ideal solution either.
So, it's a similar situation and has affected more than just the iPad forums over the years. Perhaps there's scope for setting up a new, broad but carefully limited umbrella or sub-forum for non-Apple tech with a little shuffling around.
Or perhaps it might be best to just ride it out for a while, sit tight, keep an eye on whether this is a temporary thing and see where things stand in a few months. The tablet tide is high right now; what will it be like when the water recedes a little?

True...and Apple can do as they wish. But sooner or later their high priced Mac line will have to drop a bit in price if they wish to attract the "I ain't paying more than $900 for a bleeping computer" crowd. :) iPads may attract some of these people but for those of us who want a true computer that includes printing, USB ports, lots of storage, network sharing, VPN access, ability to create/author cds/dvds or code, a true keyboard, etc. the iPad will just never work.
I am waiting to see what the next iMac lineup will be...I own a 2007 Mini and it's great (but used literally 48 hours a year) but would be a nice treat to get a Mac that is much newer and more powerful. The Minis just aren't worth it anymore especially after Apple RAISED the price $100 the last time around. The $1199 iMac is all we need.
I went to buy a mini last year and walked out with the $1199 iMac , the value proposition on the mini seems to be off a bit now. If I could run a media server with full ATV functionality on the mini, I would still buy one. Front row does not cut it. Especially when they add thunderbolt.

Microsoft has announced that it has halted development on a universal version of VirtualPC.
Digg This (http://digg.com/apple/Microsoft_Officially_Kills_Virtual_PC)
I used to use VirtualPC mainly to take screenshots for various Flash tutorials and demos that I created. Then one day I was in a rush and I took all of my screenshots using Safari and boy did people notice. The couldn't believe how much clearer the screens were and then one of my friends came forwarded and pointed out that most screenshots we see are taken from Macs in the first place.
I soon stopped relying on VPC more and more. My IT department upgraded our e-mail servers so that I use either Mail or Entourage to see my e-mail and slowly I stopped using it completely.
Back when the G5's came out, I could upgrade my machine because there was no support for VPC on a G5 (that changed eventually), but the thought of not being able to run VPC on Mac Pro has never crossed my mind.
The need for VPC in the Mac/Intel age is gone and Microsoft is wise to move on.
Perhaps they're doing this because they can now eaisly create and port native Mac OS apps.
Whatever

Yes, but would be better if the GPS were not reliant on the Cell network being available.
Maybe some cell network genius should come on here to explain things, but my understandin is that GPS and the cell phone system are 2 different things.
The GPS system receives information from satellites orbiting the earth and cannot receive inside buildings - it is all line of sight stuff - must be within the range of at least 3 to triangulate. GPS units transmit NOTHING back to the satellites... they only receive.
The Cellphone system also triangulates your position but does it based on the nearest 3 antenna... not the same satellites, but ground based antenna. The phone constantly alerts the towers that it is turned on so that it can receive the calls.

A long time ago I disassembled my powerbook cause it had a lot of problems, and I lost the cable that goes to the pram board/battery. THe battery is dead anyways.
I plan on using this machine as a simple "airport express"-esque itunes music player controlled by my ios device with Remote. display is bad, keyboard is bad, trackpad, etc. I will shed the os of anything unneccessary and optimize for shear itunes playback performance and that's it.
Anyways, can I ditch that pram battery board without any real issues?

Wouldnt go so far as to say we're no where close because geohot doesnt own an ipad 2. You think he's owned all of the other idevices he's jailbroken and unlocked? comex jailbroke his ipad 2 and he wasnt even in the US or remotely close to his ipad 2. If geohot is truly on the case, all he will probably need is the exploit comex used and he'll likely have no problem dumping the bootrom. With all his latest issues with sony, I'd bet he's more than ready for a positive comeback and more donation money :) not saying that he does it for money so dont start whinin. jus sayin

Well there would be no harm waiting till the Christmas season. Give it 2 months and get one in December - most likley any updates will have happened by then (if any are going to happen).
Possible they could get a small speed bump quietly like the mini :confused:.
