@Mikekearn has an overly long username: Animals have found ways to survive in the past when huge rocks have hit the planet, surely the most intelligent animal will find a way to survive that.

Everyone keeps assuming it'll be Verizon. Don't be surprised when Sprint is announced. Verizon wants more control over the software in their handsets and Apple is not willing to give it to them. Google on the other hand is being quite the slut to all the carriers, especially Verizon. Googles partnership may just be…

We won't die easy. People survived Hiroshima and Nagasaki, floods, volcanoes, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, even genocide. You would have to kill all the vegetation on the entire Earth to get rid of us pesky humans.

@moetop: Nothing we know of or can even start to guess. If someone is smart enough to come here, we can't possibly try to pretend that we know what they'll want from us.

@MyExpense: Could you send a message to my great grandkids when you get back to your future 200 years from now?

@Sandeep Murali: True. How long can Nokia remain the largest? My guess is less than 3 years. The apps that are coming out of Android/iPhone are on another level when compared to anything Symbian has. Nokia owners are taking note and are already jumping ship. As good as Nokia is doing, their marketshare is…

@dtptampa: They are doing fine. Steadily losing market share but doing better than others. Moving to android might be the smartest move they'll make. Symbian is solid but it can it can't compete against this market.

All smartphones? Isn't symbian on every Nokia phone, even the cheap ones?

This would clean up the app store overnight.

Signals can get through with an IR blaster but the drawback, as mentioned by many, it's the ventilation. Your valuable equipment would heat up to some extreme temps. I have some electronics in cabinets that are pretty exposed to air and even so the amount of heat generated is disturbing.

@MattSTKC: IR blasters.

@rcs914: Must have been extremely expensive for Kodak to have abandoned it. Huge step back.

How's this possible? Most pictures from the 60s don't look this good.

@DingoJunior: This didn't happen to my 3GS when I updated. Try doing a fresh restore, do not restore to back up or you might put back whatever bug you had there.

RIM must be counting on business customers loyalty. But these days that's running pretty thing. iOS has a pretty nice Enterprise support and I imagine Android is working to move in there as well.

@Axelph: Right, it doesn't. It means they have very small teams, even one guy, working on a single project.

I don't see how this can compete against iOS, Android, and WinPhone 7. I think RIM is about 1-2 years late. Had they release something like this only a year ago and they would be sitting pretty. But we can't turn back time.

This stuff is pretty. As much as it might hurt some of you, Apple is the only (or one of a distinct few) that actually makes electronics that look beautiful. The switch to aluminum was a good move indeed.

This explains why they are so slow coming up with new features, updates, approvals, etc. I was starting to think that as Apple's profits grew, the size of the company was growing as well and this in turn made them the next Microsoft. I guess they are trying hard to stick to their roots.
