I wouldn't buy Apple at $200 because I think it is really worth that. Over the years I've learned that the market has really nothing to do with reality, but everything to do with what people think that other people might think the value is.
Way back we had a project where we had to simulate entire train traffic entering Helsinki train terminal. Someone else had made the simulator and it ran pretty neatly, but unfortunately crashed mysteriously after about four - six hours of simulation time. Our customers were coming the on monday and I spent my sunday trying to figure out how this simulation worked and what crashed it.
Finally I caught the problem, which was as simple as some null pointer to a train schedule or something similar which needed to be referenced. I couldn't figure out why it was null in time, so I just added test for null pointer, which skipped said code. Program ran fine and we got our money.
Never figured out what was wrong with it. Luckily it was only a simulation.
I wonder if the delay is caused by the fact that application will drain your battery in about 15 minutes and all the beta testers are now lost in London.
I'm not expert on processors, but Nokia phones have ARM processors and can do h264 decoding. I don't know if there is a separate chip for that, but knowing how slow the processors is it must be somehow accelerated.
Kidding aside, I've discovered that Googles innovation has had remarkable improvements on my life. Especially now that I've replaced my social interaction with opposite sex with gFriend. That's short for Google Friend perhaps? gFriend takes care of what I wear and other needs, well you know. I just hope Google never goes belly up, because that means I have to go back to my iWifi provided by Apple if she'll take me.
Any way I propably won't be reading this board much longer, because though Google has closed down the gFriend for few years, they are now working on an improvement called gDot. It's based on a product they bought from a company called Slashspot. Can't wait to start working on that one.
You don't have teenage kids, it's great to make a video call to check if they really are where they claim they are.
I guess video calls aren't available in the third world, but here in Finland they have been available for quite some time. Web browsing with your phone? That's so ten years ago.
Since 9.2 (or maybe 9.1) Symbian has has platform security. PlatSec makes it possible to limit third party application capabilities, basically giving the issuer of the phone full control what kind and whose applications can run on it.

It was in quotation marks and sounds more like Jefferson. Benjamin didn't worry about rootkits. His OS was engraved on metal plates.
Seconded, Jefferson be damned

they have to rewrite next season of CSI because of this

Oh yeah! Back in my days emergencies were more severe, so we ducked and covered under our desks when the siren went off.
I just came to say Moxie Marlinspike is just about the coolest name I've ever seen...
With current battery technology Terminator would have run out of reality overlay in about 30 minutes.
If I ever start a dictatorship, first thing I do, is get everybody voting electronically.
It's a good strategy, who cares if VP get's hit? Isn't it better than him taking over?
I do the same with a twist... and then I drink my beer and code.
Have you watched episodes of Big Brother or Survivor? Brains shrink in close quarters. I think it's not bunk.
Stop complaining corporates know what's best for you. Well not all, but Steve Jobs ran corporation does.

Your argument isn't valid, iPhone is bulky.
One of the best applications on Symbian is Google maps.

So in the remakes of cave man movies the inhabitants will speak eloquently?

Wearing pants, depending on his/her line of work, might reduce profitability when it comes to video conferencing.

With a magnet or electric field?
Even god can't mod his own posts!
I think you have pointed out what is problem is.
