Nice to see Giz acknowledge that it *has* readers from around the world.

I have pre-ordered my Kindle. Although I do fear pricing will be much like online music: stupid.

I thought it was truly used as an extender, and wondered how the hell that worked. No... actually it's just using a Bluetooth headset, as a Bluetooth headset. WOW.

@plazmatyk: That's the whole point of good PR... and while it's obvious PR, it does't matter if it offers something interesting and instilts confidence in a company.

He cute.

Andyou'd pick that up, jingle jingle, quite obvious. Better of secreting a note or secretly somewhere if you're so paranoid.

Déjà vu

@Tony Kaye: I saw it somewhere the other day too.. right here at Gizmodo. For some reason it features on the front page twice right now.

"Not only will the city's subway stations"

Was a news item really posted about a spinning box? Slow news day?

@Big_Mikey99: My point is I'm just saying... an observation that's all. The media like a narrative, and sometimes problems can be distorted. In an ideal world, every phone problem should be reported on in relation to how many people it affects.

@ewlung: I had mixed feelings about Apple's response. On the one hand I think they were arrogant. On the other... it's all about context. There's hysteria over knife crime in the UK, yet you're about 100 times more likely to die in your own car. But if it makes a compelling narrative for the press, they run with it.

@archercc: In terms of a PR buzz, it really is "who are they". Go find any talk of Apple in the general press. Doubt there is any.

Not being an Apple apologist... but the news has been littered with such stories for years with different vendors. Exploding Nokia batteries anyone? Trouble is, Apple is the big one now. If the media report about Motorola, people would go "who are they?" But high profile Apple makes high profile PR for whomever is

Is it me or does Giz have quite a tap fetish?

Oh god that credit card idea is awful. It's so tacky, and you have to keep removing them to use them in machines? Eugh.

@The Lab: It could be they use the word "any" like Gizmodo uses "any". Gizmodo's "any" = "well, we mean Americans of course". Best Buy's "any" = well, we mean anyone that is our customer of course."

Nice ad! Although I still wouldn't want one.

My friend with a 7+ year old Nokia who never has a charged phone is beyond my hope on this one.
