@Akio Morita: Actually last I heard the Xbox 360 is profitable. The Zune on the other hand...

Being a happy Zune Marketplace user, I've been keeping an eye on WP7 even though I'm still leaning toward Android for my upgrade next spring.

@Yeah!: I get where you're coming from, but I still stand behind my feeling that glass on the back of a phone is a horrible idea. Sure, you're gonna have people that will baby it, and they will never have a problem. But a lot of people use their phone a lot, carry a lot of stuff and those people can't (or chose not…

@Yeah!: But how often is a phone put in a position where it can be dropped, sat on, have something set on top of it, etc. as opposed to how often this happens with a flatscreen TV. Get it? Not the same.

@Yeah!: Not everyone has kids and/or animals. Some people choose to mount their flatscreens on the wall, so, yeah, still not the same. At all.

@Yeah!: Not quite the same thing at all.

@snitch: I'd say people still wouldn't want a shatter back either. At least when you drop most phones you only have a 50% chance of the phone landing glass side down.

@Kwinten: Some people will buy the iPhone and have no issues; some will buy it and have nothing but issues. Is everyone that falls into one or the other group lying? Not necessarily. Both of these issues are influenced by build quality and perception (and with the antenne, signal strength), and both seem to vary quite…

All these charts tell me is that Apple's stock is over-valued. It wouldn't take too many poor choices made by the company for that chart to look very different in a few years. People are fickle, Apple's been able to keep the shiney-cool factor inflating their profits for a while, but can it last forever? Maybe it can,…

@usedtowork: @Tetsuooooooo: @MazdaMania: You guys are all taking this too seriously. Buy the phone you want, enjoy it and leave the slap fights on the playground. It's freakin' phone! The Android vs iOS fanboy debates are getting as stupid as Democrats vs Republicans. They are the same, but different in subtle…

@reuthermonkey: I know it's not all about the map, but that's generally pretty sparse looking to me.

@yoshi: Don't really see it being a problem. It's not really going be the same situation as when it was an unexpected runnaway success on intial release. AT&T simply was not prepared and have been playing catch-up ever since. VZW will know what is coming, but even then they still won't see the massive influx of new…

@reuthermonkey: But it's T-Mobile.

Woo Nashville, TN! Maybe by the time I upgrade next Spring it will be in Knoxville too. That would be sweet.

I usually don't bother asking this question (especially on this site), but why does the title single out the iPhone when any smartphone that runs Google maps or Bing can do this? Are the iPhone users the only one lame/smart enough to do this?

@Mister_Roboto:Exactly, that ruled.

@Eddard: If they really stay true to the "feel" of the original movie I'm really looking forward to this. It's not so much story that has to be told, but if told well could be a great movie.

Looks like a Patrick poop.

So the name for a hybrid of these two stereotypes would be what?

I hope they remembered to remove the gunpowder from those, otherwise some heavy bass could really ruin your day.
