Keep in mind that Apple probably realizes that the current 'music' iPod can't evolve into a 'video' iPod without giving up so much that we love with it now. They realize that if they are going to make a true video iPod the ergonomics will have to change. The screen will have to be bigger. The device will have to be bigger. It will have to be heavier (mostly for strong battery).
When they realized that this new video device can't replac the current iPod because of the compromises that it required, they began to rethink the whole device. But when they did this, they also began to think "What else can this little bugger do?".
There have been so many rumors about the added functionality of this device and I believe that Apple has played around with them all, getting rid of many and keeping only a few. They are finally locked down on its new features and are working (or hopefully already done) on the new way to interact with this device. I have little doubt that the interface, once we see it, will be that same old "Why didn't we think of this before" kind of thing. The question I keep asking myself is what the NEW features will be. I don't think it will be just video.
Some new features I would like are: Wireless for Internet access (either WiFi for cellular), clean way for inputting text (for Calendar, e-mail, web surfing, etc.), eBook reading (possible new category for the iTunes Store with both purchase and subscription), and if they can get the device small enough a phone.
I think that Steve gave us hints with this when he said recently that he was as proud of the products that they didn't release as the ones that they have. I think that they had tried to make an upgraded Video iPod to replace the current line but ultimately came to the conclusion that the changes they were trying to make spoiled what we like about it in the first place. It was then decided that this Video iPod was going to be a new category.
So don't worry about loosing the wheel, or the compactness of your iPod. It's not going away. This isn't the device we are talking about.

T-Mobile doesn't even have OS X in-house, let alone have the personnel to manage it.
Their servers are a mix of Red Hat and Solaris.
Their clients are Windows only.
They run Peoplesoft and vendor shrinkwrap for all business processes.
They've never built an enterprise team to develop solutions.
They don't know a damn thing about Cocoa Programming.
I'll stop here.
Either they plan to pay Apple to build their call center suite like McCaw Systems--later ATT Wireless asked NeXT, Omnigroup and various other consulting teams to write it or they are blowing smoke about OS X Leopard.
The talented system engineers who know Linux have all but moved on from T-Mobile to greener pastures like Intel.
Perhaps if T-Mobile knew a damn thing about the Enterprise I'd take some of this serious.
I'd be happy if Apple came in and did it all. At least we know it wouldn't be such a cluster-*******.
It really doesn't matter...TMobile would be providing a service. A service based on standard protocols, it doesn't matter what OS is running on the device, they're not going to support the devices; that's the job of the manufacturer.
And most companies don't run OS X, it's sad I know ;) , but it's true.

Wow, what a ripoff. You can get it done here in Spain for under $30.
Well mine was unlocked from the beginning since Czech Republic doesn't allow phones to be locked to a specific carrier ;).

I don't like it because it would require 2 hands to use.
I'll think, it will be a Creative video device that Apple manufactures. Windows users will like that stupid UI. Because they don't like the future video iPod, they'll by this thing like grazy and Apple gets the money.
That is the 200 million settlement.
My 2 cents :D

And the last one ever apparently.
Hopefully. This latest one sucks. There's not one song on the album that stands out. I would wager that Rammstein even knows this, hence the video for the new single. They know that the album won't get much attention otherwise so they put out a hardcore porn video to jack up some controversy surrounding the album.

Any hard drive will work, you can format it to OS X compatible format in Disk Utility. You can create exFAT or NTFS partition for Windows if you need to use it as well.
Do you want capacity or portability? 2.5" drives require no external power supply which makes them better with laptops since they are plug&play. However, they cost a bit more and most top out at 750GB or 1TB (Seagate has 1.5TB though).

I have a Sony handheld cam that has 5.1 built in sound recording, and although its nothing revolutionary it does sound nice and pick up sounds quite good. The mics for rear channels are on the back, the front are on the front.

uganda? no thanks and unchecked from iTunes connect. that government needs to be focusing on some serious social growth before worrying about getting an app store. i wonder if the ugandan government will prosecute those who download gay-themed apps along with the others for so-called "attempted homosexuality". :mad:
why did apple sponsor "no to prop 8" in california but give uganda an app store? what a joke!

Get the MacBook pro. When you need more disk space, get a nice fast external Thunderbolt disk (they'll be just as fast as internal disks on the MacPro).
The new MBP machines are really fast - coming up to the speed of my 3 year old 8 core MacPro.
Then buy an iMac in a year by which time it will have Thunderbolt too - and use your external drives on that.
Sound plan! Honestly, I am convinced that I will buy an MBP early next week. Maybe tomorrow? I am leaving the Windows camp for awhile. Disclaimer: my laptop is three and a half years old and has served me well! A few times I have traveled out of state, but it mostly was treated as a desktop replacement.
Yes, Thunderbolt will be unbelievable fast! USB ?.?? LOL I cannot imagine the time that will be saved when backing up two to four 1 TB drives. I am excited to purchase an Apple computer! Since I am armed with knowledge form this thread, I will buy either a base 15" or the high end 15." The 17" MBP is awesome and my current laptop has a 17" screen, but IMHO, the MBP 17" is pricey. Although, I have been known to contradict my initial thoughts regarding an expensive purchase. ;)
Damnit, now I have to study! :D

Yay! One I know the answer to! :D
And, to make this post slightly more worthwhile, what was Mr Anderson's old username?
Blackspot was the other Admin, he did most of the story approving.
I believe it was Blakespot, not Blackspot.
