...if we see this, the manufacturer of the phone certainly will. adding extra storage and a better UI seems pretty manageable for them - and once this happens, it'll take off.
think hyundai vs audi: the latter's nicely designed, and carries a premium price, but the former has the largest factories in the world...
i agree 100%. bear in mind that a lot of modern phones are perfectly capable of using user-uploaded MP3s as ringtones but the functionality is turned off by the service provider as they'd prefer to sell them to you - see recent moto handsets...
in the UK, ringtones of popular songs outsell the actual singles.
...well, they offer them on virtual finance. in the UK, a 600UKP handset like an SE P900 might sell for 30UKP if bought with a year's contract at a high monthly tarrif: they reason they'll get the money out of you this way. Sure, you can buy one outright, but most people don't: they get a cheap or free one for a year, then get a similarly-discounted upgrade.
i like the idea of these a *lot*. have you got a part number for one? if they do a winged variety it'd solve all my rollout headaches in one fell swoop...
...no mine doesn't. it's got independant suspension on each corner: we leave "axels" to farm vehicles along with ancient tech like leaf springs. Oh, apart from the ones you USians fit to your new sports cars, like the new Corvette.
seeing as most of the overhead's in the graphics, i'd say, "not much". certainly not enough to warrant the extra expense of an MP box, compared to spending the same money on a single CPU box and a better graphics card.
you may have noticed the increase in "Please allow for the short delay in dispensing petrol whilst we record your car registration number" signs at petrol stations in the UK. what you might not realise is that if you're in Birmingham, they're hooked up to the automatic licence plate id scheme, and ALL car regs are sent to the Birmingham Metropolitain Police - 3000 per hour. You don't have to have been doing anything wrong, they just get a free intelligence feed allowing them to further track your progress around the country.
if this is a high availability fileserver, and you lose a drive, it's down till you copy it back over. with raid, it doesn't matter: service isn't interrupted. horses for courses, mind...
that's because it's not FUCKING CRITICAL - it's a labour saver. if they bundled everything you might need ever into critical, we'd be quite rightly moaning that a WU takes up 100MB of stuff to download.
i know no-one likes MS, but they have done this right.
or infringing copyright. presumably apple's argument is that they've put a lot of money and effort into their delivery system, and they protect that investment through the DRM. once someone comes along, and reverse engineers it, they can take advantage of apple's hard work and make a profit, thereby reducing apple's earnings.
i don't particularly agree with this, but i reckon this is what apple's take on it would be.
...a win2k box that needs daily rebooting? for chrissakes, this is JUST NOT RIGHT.
even for the mac/linux zealots, you must see this is COMPLETE BOLLOCKS.
"unsuitable for a production workstation"? um, riiiiiight.
don't even DARE mod this guy insightful, he's trolling.

see my point? asynchronous communication has its benefits.

what, you mean like windows update and all the spyware/av companies? sheesh.
of people logging on to NT based operating systems?
i'm willing to put money on the point that wordperfect would now use the DMCA to stop this happening - unless MS bought the judge...
