@CodyChat: This just in: Apple fanboys still raging because somebody pointed out Steve Jobs did NOT invent the PC or laptop.

In May? T mo? Ha ha yes! In time for my birthday! Just gotta steal someones upgrade from my family plan...

This just in: Steve Jobs invented the smartphone and tablet

Uh, what about iPad watch your back?

@HPPalm: they meant iPhone 5

Actually I would say wait more. Once the new iPad is released the original's price will fall dramatically. Also you can then compare them to Honeycomb tablets, which will likely be better (at least in some areas) and offer different features.

@John_Hazard: you just made Steve very happy...

hmmm. I want all this stuff too.

forget how it looks this would help with my mess of cords. Every time i look at my surge protector a wild tangela appears...

Looks pretty good. Not radically different looking. Still looks like it could be a capable phone. Fingers crossed for t mo

do they get upgraded every two years?

I would prefer for the cameras to be able to be pointed upwards some as well for kinect style motion so youre not just leaning over the keyboard for motion sensing. More ergonomic and seems like it wouldn't be terribly hard to do.

perhaps theyre just realllly nice playstation move controllers?

if they are on public property being paid by tax payers then they should be liable to be recorded and monitored. what about safety cams installed on business pointing towards streets and public property? they dont need a police officer's approval to record them apparently.

this is pretty cool. I can just imagine if i used this design in studio though...

I think the dynamic is more complex than most people think. Its not just iphone vs. android, or smartphone vs. smart phone, or carrier vs. carrier. Its a combination of all of these and more, like regional effects. I live in KC where Sprint is widespread due to the headquarters being located here. But that makes the…
