@gurfinki: So the only way you show support for an independent develop is to buy them?

So, as far as content providers are concerned, a piece of a $5/month, all you can eat deal is OK, but AppleTV's $1 per each episode and each viewing rentals are too cheap to sign-up for?

@Yahweh Took My Prepuce: You could always 'maximize' any window you wanted, as far as the OS was concerned. This is about designing applications specifically to work in full-screen mode. If you noticed during the presentation, the UI changes in this mode, although they never demonstrated how you access deeper…

@MayorBloomberg: It's easy to say you'll give up your iPhone when you don't really own one... And yeah, Blackberry is "open."

@vein11: "A few hundred, even thousand is enough." Yeah, as long as it's the ones that YOU want. It might be news to you, but others might want a different "thousand."

So Blackberry is now "open"? Wow! I must have missed the announcement from my IT team.

Your entire argument is based on the supposition that the phrase "has been made into a catchphrase by the public," yet, you don't cite any prior examples of it's use. Could it be that it became a "catchphrase" because Apple made it so and therefore deserves the right to protect it?

Am I the only one who noticed that Microsoft dropped the "7" from the platform name? All their newer promo material refers to this as just "Microsoft Phone." Phone makers must feel peed about this as they went in the opposite direction and all their phones for this platform added "7" to the model names.

@Yeah!: No. It's made of plastic because the Wi-Fi antenna is behind it.

@Almightywhacko: USB connectors don't even come close to providing all the functionality possible with the 30-pin connector.

Let's see, no hole for sim card, no holes for speakers and the additional dock connecter clearly off-center. Why am I not buying this as legit?

There's a serious, very annoying bug with every Gizmodo article page. It has this stupid "This Is Gizmodo" video at the bottom of every article. Since it is about your iPhone 4 "pre-coverage" for which you are being legally investigated for breaking the law, I assume it's there by mistake, not just to annoy us.

@FlyACL: Make that "98% of us" - I never had a single problem with it.

@SilverJacket: That was kind of my point. The article makes a gig deal out of this whole "time from the beginning of the track" point by repeating it multiple times, but it's a totally useless piece of information as described here. The sample , and the library, just need a time axis. It doesn't matter where the 0,0…

Interesting read, but the explanation doesn't quite fall into place. You say the marker points are all referenced to the beginning of the track, but if I sample a 10-second piece of an unknown track, at any point of the track, there's no way to tell how far into the track my sample is. So, how is it really done?…

@neMouse: If you're using version 1, made for the iPhone at a 2X magnification on the iPad, that would explain it...

@Live N Learn: The new version is a 'universal' app, designed for the iPad, too.

"With iPhones being damaged by moisture." Yes, only iPhones are damaged by moisture. You guys are unbelievable!

@John Herrman: As many commenters already pointed out a number of times, YOU ARE WRONG. Apple's rights to the alloy extend only to CE devices.
