Ok sounds nice and all, but heres some food for thought. In order for this to work you need both 2000ft arms to be the same EXACT length. If they are not EXACT then the whole thing wont work, but in that case how will you know? Or even better when they are making it, how do they know the gravity waves arent throwing off their measurements before its even built!
Sure this is an important phone cause of iTunes, but I already have a phone that does everything this does and more in a smaller form factor and have had it for a year. (The Audiovox SMT5600) Sure you might groan that it runs windows mobile, but it actually runs really really well. I stuck a 512M miniSD card and walk around with 200 songs on it in full mp3 stereo. So the capabilities of the phone are really just old news cept for iTunes.
Why thank you, my 10 sided die are all giddy with apprecication. And to answer a below question, currently I get 24 bit precision with ati and 32 with NVidia (both of which are good enough for me)
The move might not matter a whole lot to the normal gamer, but those of us who are researching/using video cards as fast vector coprocessors love this as it increases the matrix (texture) size we can do operations on. (I especially love it since some of my stuff runs 40x on my Radeon X800 than my Athlon 64 - its all linear algrebra, finite difference codes)

Its not that they are stupid (though at times I tend to believe so) but they are more afraid of students that know more then they do. Luckly at they time threatened me I was moving out of the dorms so I told them to kma.

My university has a unoffical policy not allowing students running linux (or the like) to access the network in the dorms. The claim since linux has services (telnet, web, etc) it violates their policy of not allowing students to run commercial services on their network. Because it is unoffical the end result is them just harrasing the hell out of anyone they find running it and shutting off network services to their rooms. But then again I think they might just be paranoid and severely bored.

If you are serious about having a REAL tech bench then you need one of these bad boys....

Otherwise how will you test your homebrew wifi antennas?
