According to Engadget, it is three months delayed after the RT release.

You have arcades where you live?

Depends on the action of the keys. It actually reminds me of my old Powerbook keys. They were so much better than the chicklet style keys used by everyone now. I miss that keyboard and, as an Apple/Mac user, I'm a bit jealous of this keyboard if the key action is nice.

Kudos to her parents for channeling that curiosity in such a positive way so she can learn some real world lessons from all this.

As an Apple user that (almost) never considers buying anything PC or Windows, I will just add in this one item:

I'm afraid that your arguments really do not hold any water from a moral ground, or a legal one for that matter.

I'm guessing that with the new, slimmer design they had to get rid of ethernet, which is why they added a second Thunderbolt port on these.

The iPhone 4 is not more than capable. The reason is it's slower antenna. The connection speeds to the Apple servers running Siri would not get you the response time you need for turn-by-turn directions.

No, I do not want some big, red button cluttering my dash. The real solution is actual driver training.

That is definitely true where I am.

I hadn't really thought about that, but you might be onto something. It might be my older Roku that is the culprit.

Turn by turn directions it can do, but their whole schtick with their nav system is integrating with Siri, which the iPhone 4 does not do.

That sounds much better. Haven't been on in a week, but then they had each season listed separately and the seasons were not in numerical order.

And Turn-By-Turn will be available on the older handsets that have the processing power to handle it. Your point is not valid.

Yes, that is how they are telling it. We'll see how well that works when it's released.

Except that they give you those new releases on the old phones and they do not charge for the updates.

I'm not sure it pisses off Apple fans so much as how it gets reported pisses them off.

Yeah, both sides overly hype the results one way or the other.

Wouldn't the overly long and flowery descriptions of everything make you miss your turn?

Apple's adapter is $29. That may not be considered "cheap" but you are paying a bare minimum of $2200 for the laptop. I don't think another $30 is going to be a backbreaker. We're talking about adding 1.3% of the cost. It's no different if you want to upgrade any other part of the computer.
