    I didn't say all electric shouldn't be on the market at all.

    There really isn't anything out there worth giving your life for...it is short enough as it is, no need to 'rush' it.

    Really? Even being "chained" to a hospital bed so you can be "brave" for 2 years as cancer eats up your body painfully?

    Everyone dies. What is so wrong with going out at your own choosing?

    I don't like playing cultural imperialist, but something about current Asian cultures seems to me to be broken:

    The only Java app that I can get to launch on my Sony Ericsson P910 is Opera. Most Java phone apps are only written for the Nokia phones and rarely work elsewhere.

    How are these far-fetched predictions any different than the many that were made for the iPhone and iPod before it?

    It's substantiated by the fact that Apple has a deal on 10" touchscreens,

    That would be rumor. Not fact.

    fact Apple had a job offer for a handwriting recognition expert.

    Maybe you don't know that handwriting recognition is built into the Mac OS? It's called InkWell. And it has been there for a while.

    Go out in the street, stand in front of your local courthouse, and chant "The FCC is killing babies."

  24. Re:WAPI not for the proles on Apple To Sell Wi-Fi-less iPhone In China · · Score: 4, Interesting

    An iPhone is expensive to begin with. A large premium will skyrocket the price of black market iPhone. The vast majority of the Chinese iPhone purchasers will not pay this premium for a single feature.

    A large part of having an iPhone is that it is a status symbol. Except for a few rich geeks, that does not change much by having wifi enabled.

    The market will be miniscule.

    Tell that to all the regular Chinese people who have iPhones. Not super rich geeks.

    They are sold very cheaply. Most likely they have "fallen off the truck" shortly after leaving the Chinese factory they are made in.
