This is no longer free. EasyDNS now charge a minimum of $19 per year.

It’s mega-bloated though. It’s written using some weird browser-based cross platform framework. As such, it installs to 120MB and uses 200MB of RAM - just for 10 TO DO items. That’s more RAM for this list app than the total amount of RAM currently being used on my PC for Adobe Photoshop CS3, Word, Excel *combined*.

You say "just" like that's an easier solution. The whole point of their solution is that they're doing all of that for you (and it's not a crappy VM).

Yes you do. USB can only provide 500mA. Why waste time charging off USB when a mains charger can shove an amp or two into your phone and charge it in less than half the time. Give me a proper charger please - stop cheap-skating.

USB 3 is not a cable or connector. They don't need to change the cable to allow USB 3 and they didn't change the cable when they went from USB 1 to USB 2 (or any of the other features they added to the old connector). I very much doubt they'll change the connector again within 10 years. In fact I think the next step

Perhaps 3rd party cables could still be made to charge the phone, without necessarily providing access to other functions such as USB data or digital audio out... That would do for things like cheap car chargers or charger docks.

What silly rubbish... You can support anything you like with air - it just depends on the pressure. Does your car not have air in it's tyres then? Try telling Boeing that the tyres on their 747s won't be able to take the strain as there's there's a limit of 180 lbs...

You say that like it's a bad thing. Arial is probably the most popular font in the world (ie nearly everyone loves it).

The picture is almost certainly wrong because the iPad mini will be 16:9 ratio - not 4:3.

They've not closed it for me. It's still there.

The iPhone 5 leaked backshell also has the gaps. So it's pretty certain it still has the stupid holdable antenna.

More likely holding an iPhone 4 to get the size of the grip right, then just overlaying the larger phone.

Bugger. It still has the tell-tale gaps in the steel band, so it will still have the stupid antenna problem which plagues the iPhone 4 and 4S :(

Sorry but that argument is stupid for obvious reasons. Different tools almost always use totally different batteries even if you stick to the same manufacturer. All the batteries in the devices above are in moulded packs designed to form part of the device. They cannot fit in any other device and most likely they are

What is that pattern on the inside-back cover? PCB tracks? NFC antenna? Or just some kind of moulding marks?

Apple doesn't use a proprietary connector because of power, it uses a proprietary connector because of the extra functions their dock connector needs to have, such as analogue audio out, video out, serial controlled music control etc. None of which are possible with a USB connector without putting an expensive USB
