Apple has a patent on a proximity-based multitouch screen technology. Rolling that into the touch-based product lines in the future would be awesome.

You can if you go into the iTunes store and search for the podcast there.Captain N said:

Anyone with a brain puts their podcast feed into the iTunes directory. It has the biggest audience.

You guys may laugh but after many years of hating IE, it's now my most used browser next to safari. The others are too bloated (firefox) or have too many quirks (chrome). Both IE and Safari are fast and reliable, everything works on them.
There was a time when IE sucked, it's long past. It's a much better browsing experience than firefox or opera.

IE7/8 doesn't support HTML5 out of the box without the Chrome add-on.
Also, Firefox is pretty good with 3.6. I'm using the Mac version, and if you don't clog it up with hundreds of add-ons, and only the ones you actually need, it's runs just fine.

IE8 caught the browser up to the JavaScript efficiency and HTML4/CSS2 compliance of where every other browser was 2 years ago. It is still a dog.

Guys, I need an iPod Touch.peacebyanymeans said:
What do you guys think? Buy an iPad, the next generation iPhone (in July), or the next generation iPod (in September)?
I just don't know how I could justify paying so much for an iPhone each month.
Problem is, especially on the Windows side, every application and its mother wants you to install an add-on.peacebyanymeans said:

Then decline to install it.Mr. Wonderful said:

I love my ipod touch, but I don't have a pressing need to have an iphone. I tend to change phones often, and I can focus on using that for calls etc. Ipod touch is 1000% worth it for the apps alone, adn you get a great ipod built in too.
I'm buying an ipad for use at home, I'd consider it a partner to an ipod touch - I wouldn't expect to take an ipad with me, but the ipod touch is a little small to use around the house for any length of time.

More grist for the "what is the Apple A4 chip" speculation mill:
Paul Boutin (Wired, Wall Street Journal, VentureBeat) has been goading chip sources into spilling some detail about the chip. Here:

I'm pretty sure that was a long while ago, like 2002.
I'm sure they're working on Courier still, especially after how excited everyone got over it.

I'll call it: Courier isn't ever coming out.
Showing off prototypes and hype videos is dumb.

Yes and no.
It's irritating as a consumer seeing stuff like that and not having it come out ever, or years later.
But it did its job, even if it's not a real product. How many people referenced it saying it's what they expected the iPad to be and such. "Damage" done.

If I remember correctly, those were leaked videos and the source said they were in the late prototype phase.Liu Kang Baking A Pie said:
Of course, it could all be bullshit like you said, but Microsoft has been wanting to be in the tablet market for years now, and after a decade of failing, Apple seems posed to make the market erupt and Microsoft wants in on that.
peacebyanymeans said:
Re-read what he wrote in that NYT piece:
We don't know what division he's referring to, or if that division had anything to do with Courier(I don't think it did), but that doesn't read like something that happened in 2002.
Anyway, Courier is irrelevant. It won't be ready this year, and when it is ready(if it ever is), they'll be competing with a second or third revision of the iPad.

I'm sure the Courier will come out at about the same time as Surface.

I am sooooo fucking torn on getting one. Knowing that they already have the housing built to accomodate a camera and knowing that Apple always seems to make their second rev of products take a big leap (e.g. original iPod to the clickwheel version, original iPhone to the GPS/3G version) I'm inclined to wait and see.

I'm with you. I don't are about the camera, and as someone said recently, do you really want a camera staring at you from a weird angle in your lap?
I'm also getting more excited about the iPad because we're starting to hear the devs talk about things and show some of the apps that will take advantage of it. Things like that comic viewer show the huge potential of the device, and I was already sold on it before hand. Can't wait to get my hands on it.
Kung Fu Jedi said:
I'm with you. My opinion is if you can't see the groeth and potential just from the Apple apps demoed (Calendar, Mail, iWork) then you are completely missing out on the potential of the device.
IIRC you got an iPhone on day one (as did I) and I know enither of us ever regretted it.

shantyman said:
Yep, I was Day 1 on the iPhone too, and now have the 3GS and love it.
And I agree with you about the Apple apps too. Just watching the videos from the launch day showed me the potential of this device, and seeing it in motion was far more convincing then just reading/hearing about it. And a number of people who have been hands on with the device already say that it's even better in person than on video.
If I can tether it to me iPhone, yep.shantyman said:
And am I crazy or did the home screen on my touch change depending on whether I was holding it vertical or horizontal? My 3GS sure doesn't but I could have sworn my gen 1 touch did and I can't figure out a reason why they'd remove that.
I'm in. Getting a 16GB 3G.shantyman said:
That's my plan, too. It will probably be the only way my parents will ever successfully send an email.mrklaw said:even if they bring one out in a year with a camera, I'll sell or hand mine down to the family, and buy another. I'll have had my years worth

As already noted, I'm in of course, but I want the 64GB WiFi model. No need for the 3G, especially since I'm sure it will be tethered eventually if I need it, and I think I'll want plenty of storage on the thing
