Nice math. 4:46= 286 seconds*26.22 miles = 124.98 min = 2.08 hours = 2 hours and 4 min marathon. The world record is a 4:44 mile.

As someone that was pretty proud of a 7:15 pace this past summer, this is a truly remarkable feat.

I can't stand phones that have that bubble look anymore. It reminds me of the iPhone 3G and Comic Sans and in a time where design is pretty minimal and industrial this thing looks like a toy.

Don't worry boy, you won't be in school for a longggg time

It really shows the lengths other companies have to go to compete with Apple. They make the highest end hardware that sells in bundles and still turn a large profit while other companies have to give away there hardware and try to make a splash. (I'm talking about the fire now)

It is very cheap! Just not as a primary display for a student :P

Unless they penetrate quickly companies with this strategy are usually forced by share holders to give up.

That's tough. I really hope those content deals are lucrative. This sort of non-profitability is not very attractive to share holders.

I can't believe this thing actually works. Too pricey for me but a really cool piece of tech and something i can imagine being popular for small apartments and gamers in the future.

Your sarcastic scenario-based comments are repetitive and annoying.

The idea is bad, but Apple really gets a overly bad rap on it. They aren't open to people just throwing crappy, malicious apps in the store whenever they please? Keep it closed thank you.

Their bottom line is an exact result of having that sort of control from end to end. Remained closed allows them to remain in control. Google has hundreds of phones with hundreds of versions of Android all skattered about. This app works this phone but not this one. You get this update but not the next. Verizon puts…

Need is subjective. I have a "need" to buy into a platform I am comfortable with. Who are you to judge the functionality for each person?

Regardless of the price, functionality, design or whatever else it is always sad to see a company with enough resources to choose against innovation.

Since they formed low-margin content deals to provide every stitch of digital music available.

The recording industry forced the app to be pulled.

You rarely see people bitch about the cost of Mercedes however.

400$ plastic laptops cannot be compared to Apple laptops. The design, craftsmanship and materials don't even come close.

I would like to believe that. Google has been driving the planet for years to make it's maps service as good as it can be. You don't just get that over night.

This is one area that needs little improving. Google Maps is an indispensable tool and without it on my iPhone I would have to think twice about staying with the platform as well.
