That's one-to-one *student* discounts because they use the Amazon idea - get someone hooked on your hardware so they'll throw money at your services.

Of course, the big question is whether the picture in the top right shout-out is of a hand or a...

The Touch succeeded on the back of the 30-pin accessory market. Now Apple have kicked all the legacy equipment to the kerb, now's a better time than ever for someone to capitalise.

What makes Windows Windows is the fact that you can do pretty much anything with the OS, building programs in hundreds of programming languages and having (most of) them just work.

GOOGLE DID NOT CREATE THE OLD MAPS APP FOR iOS, APPLE DID UNDER LICENSE.

Did you honestly just compare Apple Maps to 'the one it replaced', which was, of course, Apple's *riff* on Google Maps. Android runs with Google's version of Google Maps, which is the best example of using Google Maps.

"Heck, Siri was released while he was alive." Steve died a day after the reveal.

Given the recent HUGE price drop in 80, 120 & 160GB SSDs, they could feasibly move from hard disk to flash storage. Classic could then refer to the design and UI, rather than the fact that the technology it uses has been around for 30 years.

'why is Apple waiting until late October to roll this out?' Maybe it includes some fairly obvious hooks or hints relating to a potential product announcement in October.

Google have said they will release a new version of Google Maps on iOS that will be comparable to the Android version, assuming Apple let them.

Post the app names here. Maybe someone can find (free/ad-supported) alternatives?

The VC's want some return on their investment.

Says the guy commenting on it on a geek orientated tech blog..?

Case in point - Digg. Apples & Oranges, yes, but a good case for a redesign brought about by a focus group 'for the good of the company' killed it... dead.

Maybe they're some religious goombas who decry the existence of space, the moon and anything that wasn't their creation of their magic invisible space god?

I doubt Amazon could make the KF2 any cheaper. They're already making an obscene loss on the current model with the aim to make it up through the service.

The iPad 3's Retina Display is such a resource drain that it required a larger case, weighs more and requires longer to charge, so it's really a case of two steps forward, two steps back when compared to the iPad 2 - I guess you could say they serve different markets now.

Isn't that the point - there is very little 'available evidence' other than 'it comes with a Core i5 processor.

Well, it's not a 'comparable' CPU... No doubt it'll be one of the ULV i5s, possibly even under-clocked a bit.

Well, Cook did make the mistake of trying to reveal the specs of the iPad 3 and was torn to pieces when he started comparing core counts with the Tegra 3.
