you should promote my comment. :) I've been here for yeeears and still have no star :(

hmm.. well i've sold one before at 749. oh well.

This is not even a mockup as far as I'm concerned... it's just two ipads photoshopped... look at my comment above. In the picture with ipad 2 on top of ipad1 the reflection in the screen on ipad1 is just another ipad1, they forgot to photoshop it. The reflection mysteriously has a flat edge about 1/4 inch thick and…

2 reasons why these are fake... 1. In the picture showing both of them with the iPad2 screen on and iPad1 screen off, the dock in crooked on the wallpaper - see the bottom right side of the dock is further from the screens edge than the bottom left side..

or if you use an iPhone you'll have Apples patented liquid metal batteries or their patented fuel cells and your battery will never die :)

how would any of this be easier with a QR code? for that you either have to open your camera or app, position over code, have good light, focus, take picture, process information, get result. NFC would be instantaneous, and being built into the hardware I would imagine they'd make it either launch the respective app…

The retailers haven't suddenly had 10 million customers eagerly waiting to use them overnight yet, like what will happen when suddenly all iOS devices support it and payment is processed through iTunes meaning even 14 year olds with gift cards/daddies credit card can use them to purchase things on a whim.

You can count me there too ;)

Internet Tethering with no extra fee is not for Apple to decide. Up here in Canada, we don't pay an extra fee for Internet tethering. I've got 6Gb of data for $30 and I can use it any which way I want to. And for $5 extra, I can get an iPad sim and share the 6Gb on the iPad (through it's own connection the iPhone…

It's even cheaper in Canada. $159 on contract.

where are you shopping? It's only 749 at Rogers, Fido and Apple...

49.99 on a contract. I read Apple wants $200 with no contract pricing.

@AJ: You're missing the point...

Thats not secure. Keyboard patterns are some of the first combinations attempted in a brute force attack.

Try Rogers extreme text messaging, it allows you to block unwanted texters just by texting their number to a shortcode ( I think it's SPAM - however you spell that in dialpad) as well as a bunch of other features... it's free with all text plans..

@snow = more opposite lock: text messages ride on the signals your phone is already sending just to keep a connection to the network, so it's actually even worse than it seems.

@Platypus Man: Ah but when all your points cards and ID can go through the system as well you will only need Oxygen and iPhone to live... no wallets necessary.

@CamJN: read the comment. He's wondering what the FIRST downloaded app was, not the 10 billionth which is the one the article lists.

@DrinkYourMilk: It's not that crazy. I call my iPhone an iPhone and not just a phone and my MacBook an MacBook not a laptop... Like as in "Can you pass me my iPhone so I can download the pics to my MacBook"

This is DEFINITELY the LiquidMetal fuel cells! I'm calling it now and I will reference this comment when I'm right in June 2012 when iPhone6 comes out with the fuel cell!
