Another point might be this:

Yeah, well, a touchscreen nano doesn't make any sense either.

I'm actually not surprised by this. There are also rumors that another new iPad is going to hit at the same time as the usual iPod refresh in September.

Out of curiosity, how well does the screen protector work?

This sounds too much like the wireless phone companies charging you twice for data on the tethering plans. It's just annoying.

I don't think this is going to help Netflix in their negotiations to acquire any new content from the networks...

I am one of those patient people. Yes, I would prefer to simply have a watch instantly account and have access to the entire Netflix library.

Well, I guess you could say that it is necessary once all other options have failed and you still face an imminent threat from your enemy.

People not in school and without kids in the house?

I say that if you get the money together to buy the Taj, that means you own it. You bought it with money you earned.

I was wondering if I was the only one picking up on the creepy vibe. This borders on stalking.

I read the history of the legal battle a while back and that was offered at one point. Jobs was even going to pay half the cost of moving it, I think. The offer was rejected. The people fighting this didn't want to put forth effort to preserve the thing. They just wanted the courts to force job to leave it where it…

I think a much better idea is to just have their app access already purchased content. It would definitely be less convenient, but it would get around the ridiculous cut that Apple is taking (seriously, what other retailer out there is making 30%?!?).

No. It is not their device.

I don't think that's quite the point that was being made but I support the basic sentiment of what you're saying.

If I were a publisher, I would just have the free app that allows you to read/see/browse content via the iPad, but force the customer to manage the content from the website. Then I could just set it up so that the app was set up with their username and password to the account that would allow access to the content…

I find this interesting from the standpoint of wondering what it might do to other hardware builders. Might this discourage LG, HTC, Dell or any others from developing hardware for WP7? If MS and Nokia are really doing this as a close partnership it could push others to just focus on Android development.

In the northeast around New York and D.C., and a few select areas of the country rail might be cheaper, but to go almost anywhere for most of the country, rail is extremely more expensive than flying. And it is often much slower than flying because of the multitude of stops.

If you enjoy reading books on your Kindle or nook, you should care about their profit margins.
