@ant1pathy: My point is, it's possible to have a unibody handset, with a couple compromises, like the ones you mentioned.

@makeitgo: The events I cited were also official announcements. The links I provided were on Microsoft's official press channel. Why do you say these were not official?

@ant1pathy: The HTC Legend says hi.

@MauricioHavok: I hope the iPhone 5 is a brushed-aluminum unibody.

@Turael: I hear ya, but I'd assume people who aren't interested in gaming may have children who are.

@Turael: I don't see why it needs to be taken out. Being able to play AAA titles as opposed to not being able to is an advantage, no?

@pkin: Wii no, Xbox 360/PS3 yes. If you only have a Wii (aside from feeling sorry for you! :) j/k), I think you should go for the ATV.

@FrankenPC: Google TV works with your cable.

@dtptampa: Exactly. Xbox 360/PS3 will cost you the same as an HTPC but you get an established online media ecosystem (XBL, PSN), you get to play AAA games, DVDs and in the case of the PS3 blu-rays.

@kwahhn: No, it shouldn't. Parts and labor cost money. Hell, laborers already work in shit conditions for a measly wage to produce your little gadgets already.

@Scott:

@The Werewolf: This one mentions other models under other carriers as well:

@swizzle23: It's a part of the design language of the OS. Its purpose is to serve as a visual cue to let you know that there is more content if you swipe to the right/left.

@The Werewolf: According to Engadget, HTC 7 Surround and Optimus 7 will be available at the North American launch on Telus.

@zelannii: Thanks, Captain Buzzkill. Funny how you see it as your duty to "quell the rampant excitement" about WP7. How about, let people be excited about what they will. The market will decide whether or not it's a worthy platform. Any speculative predictions are futile.

*Quickly finds something to criticize*

@sneakypoo: Quantity definitely matters less than quality, but quantity ensures that you can find whatever app you need, even in very edge-case scenarios.

@badasscat: I agree somewhat, but I think that a lot of people who were on AT&T just for the iPhone will drop AT&T and go with Verizon. There's gonna be a mass exodus and Verizon will get an even large advantage over the other big US carriers.

@wagedomain: I give up. We disagree.

@wagedomain: It's very easy to have such a simplistic view when you're looking at the Earth from an outsider's vantage point. From that point of view, murder, politics, art, your mom, even this argument is of no significance.
