I checked out the 3DS at a Target and felt the 3D effect was cheesy. It reminded me of a magic eye effect, or a hologram baseball card. I did read about the "sweet spot", but that seems really tedious to have to keep a handheld at just the right angle at all times.
Those kiosks are low so that kids can play with them - much harder for adults to use it.
I got to try one out not on a display and it was great - especially the AR games are lots of fun...
You can turn the 3D off and the graphics and screen quality are still great.

Everything has to start some where. I was nearly t-boned by a SUV today that thought they were better than the rest of us... they were running very much running a red light. Get your head out of the sand as to the new world order...
Here in America bigger does not mean better in the end...
In Germany it is "Mercedes hat vorfart" (I think that is spelled correctly)
Translation: Mercedes has the right of way.
- Just as God intended it.

It's not that Apple isn't capable of coming up with a version of iOS that would run well on the 3G hardware. Of course they could if they wanted to. What it comes down to is Apple having to draw a line in the sand and phase out support at some point. They can't keep spending money to develop for it forever. The 3G is nearly 3 years old. I think it has served it's purpose well, and now it's time to let it retire in peace. It's worked a long time and is tired.
Personally I am surprised anyone is holding on to older phones like that. There are such good deals to be found in selling old hardware that will allow you to upgrade every year if you want with little or no expense to do so. When the 3Gs came out, I sold my original iPhone online for $160, so the upgrade only cost me $40 plus tax. It was well worth it. And when iPhone 5 drops this summer, I will do the same thing. Not too shabby if you ask me.
I totally agree. However, the 4.x was sold as a viable update to my phone, and my older iPod Touch was upgraded automatically. Had I known it would have rendered them quite useless, I would have not agreed to the upgrade. Also, there is no way (that I can tell) to downgrade to a previous IOS (I'm not overly geeky). I am not asking for on-going support, rather that the phone that I paid for works for its lifetime. It is Apple's fault for not providing a reasonable explanation of what the consequences would be or providing an alternative to that IOS.

The next time she sends him out to buy pads, I'll bet she's more specific...
:D Everyone made fun of the name when it first came out, now everyone's tagging "pad" onto their wannabe.

I would much rather have the rumored 2048x1536 display...If 3D is an added bonus to the res bump, then no harm done...I would just have to "dial" it down (if similar to 3DS). Ive got 20:10 vision and 3D makes me naucious after 10min of viewing:o
If course, I'm also the guy who cant read in cars without feeling sick:o

Hey everyone, I'd just thought you'd like to know that I'm loaded too. I have 901 shares of Apple....and I would have lost close to $18000 last week when the stock dropped, but fortunately it's only 5% of my portfolio. That and some prescient shorting mitigated my downside risk. So yeah, how about that new MacPro?
LOL. Ouch. Play nice, children.
At any rate, this would ideally be the introduction of some sort of "always-on" wireless spectrum that Apple products (and ONLY Apple products) could use. A Macbook or iTablet that was always online would be revolutionary. However, it would be about the same (concept-wise, not in terms of actual speed) as being able to tether our iPhones to our Macbooks or MBP's via Bluetooth.
I'm a bit skeptical with that, though.
Realistically, I'm thinking improved iTunes Wireless store (more content, more devices included?) with a much improved Apple TV, either on the software/firmware or hardware level.
Probably also other things with something to do with the theme. Thinner MBP or Macbook, etc. We'll see. :p

So when are these Merom MBPs coming out? I really don't care too much for an iTunes Movie Store. Some of us have been waiting since January.

I just received mine. It tOTaLlY sUX! It overheats, the battery explodes, it whines, moos, barks and quacks and it cuts my wrists!:D :p
Oh, and it's too slow:D
Just thought I would be the first to say it;) :D

3D.
If it requires overpriced glasses, it ruins the pictures colors and looks awkward.
If it does not require overpriced glasses, you will get a headache and possibly vomit.

Technically it's not MP that's the issue. It's pixel density.
Given the perfect conditions and equal image sizes (I.e. All the images at 2MP) the results will be almost indistinguishable between a phone, point and shoot and a D-SLR.
Comparing the 5MP iPhone 4 sensor to a 12MP Point & Shoot and a 40D the difference between the iPhone 4 and the P&S and 40D will be significant.
Simply: 40D @ 10MP >> TZ8 @ 12MP >>> iPhone 4 @ 5MP.

For those that are unfamiliar with Wal-Marts business practices I recommend you watch Frontline's Is Wal-Mart Good For America? (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/walmart/)
It's a great documentary. You can watch it online for free using RealPlayer.
there is also another one: the high cost of wal mart.

As I've stated before, No Way does Apple realease the updated MBPs before the iPad is released!
Yes, I know that they are two different categories, but the MBPs would definitely steal a lot of the iPad's thunder.
I, too, would love to have the MBPs. Unfortunately, we are all just going to have to wait a while longer...
I'm glad that there's another person in the world that thinks the same as me.
I said the exact same thing. However, my mind was turned by the masses of people saying Apple would want to release around the same time as they'll get more people in the store and spending more money.
I personally think both arguments are extremely valid. I'm more excited about next Tuesday as a possible update than any other Tuesday before though. However, I expect an ever-growing familiarity that is disappointment.
Something someone said about Apple waiting to put the new version of SL on them is a new idea i hadn't thought of as the reason for the delay.
:apple: is slowly cutting every last bit of my soul into tiny pieces the longer i wait. Melodramatic i know, but it's true :mad:

Please delete this hoax of an entry from the Page 2 Rumors. Every second it's up there serves to discredit MacRumors. Seriously.
Is it possible to discredit a rumors site?

My favorite part:
Microsoft has announced its new iPod competitor, Zune. It says that this device is all about building communities. Are you worried?
In a word, no. I've seen the demonstrations on the Internet about how you can find another person using a Zune and give them a song they can play three times. It takes forever. By the time you've gone through all that, the girl's got up and left! You're much better off to take one of your earbuds out and put it in her ear. Then you're connected with about two feet of headphone cable.

I wonder when new Macbooks/Macbook pros will come?
Strange, because everyone said that Apple would release the MB and MBPs on the 12th, but not all of a sudden it shifted to the iMac :confused:

The current 5MP camera on the iPhone is fantastic for such a small sensor. video recording at 720p is pretty crappy IMO. They need a better quality lens and Sony offers that opportunity.
