and the fact that you don't think a closed phone can be good is almost entirely irrelevant to how this will be reviewed.
Until the open ones get functionality their closed one hasn't.
In fact the fact it looks pretty ugly will be a far more important factor in how it is reviewed than how open it is.
Yeah, the round look wasn't appealing either, and I doubt anyone getting an iPhone (for style) would consider this one.
Anyway I personally want plenty of options and applications, but in a scenario without them on both any-phone and iPhone I doubt the any-phone would do user interface and integration better than the iPhone but what do I know. I don't even know if there is an SDK which allows normal apps nowadays for the iPhone or not.
What system do you have? The DVB-T Mpeg II system used here in Sweden suck balls and I think we closed the analog network 2 or maybe 3 years ago. I thought it was retarded already back then to not make sure all boxes had Mpeg IV support and eventually sell boxes capable of HDTV to.
As it's now with satellite you get more HD channels and better picture quality and some channels over air looks like shit.
Telia-Sonera offers TV over the telephone network though and afaik quite many have bought it already so that may be one solution to. Atleast it offered many of the better channels for a low price.
I much rather see that they make a card technology able to handle 2 TB than the current tiny baby steps they always seem to do when setting limits in the technology. 2 GB for SD and then 32 GB for SDHC, but we are already at 32 GB so the format is fucked, I hate it.
And yes, 2 to 32 GB with SDHC took what? 2 years? 3 maybe? And that's a 16x increase, 32x may not take as long as you think..
Maybe just nuke Jerusalem with enough nukes that no-one can live there for any reasonable time forward and stop the thousand of years of war in the area? No need to fight for jerusalem if it's unusable.
But if you use AAC why get a player which don't support it? Seems rather stupid to convert it to MP3. Sonys MP3-players and Sony Ericsson phones can play AAC can't they? Don't know if Cowon can, to lazy to check. Archos?
Or are the sharing rights (5 computers) the same??
Does anyone know about some hack which removes this limit from iTunes? It suck balls. I've seen "routers" with iTunes sharing, I assume they run their own software and therefor don't have this limit, are there any iTunes alternatives without it or any cracks which removes it?
Also I really wonder what Apple thought then they made AirTunes only work with iTunes and not all sound as you can do it with iTunes (and also why they have no mixer for changing volume / application), and finally why the fuck they have both the Airport Extreme and Express, I want wireless sound AND be able to connect a harddrive, how hard can it be to understand?
ATM it looks like the best solution for me would be a netbook maxed out with ram running as wireless accesspoint with external harddrives and airfoil / some other solution for music + webserver with web interface for a bittorrent client.
No way, locked in for life. It's the way of Apple. The vagina will have inferior specs and be outdated real soon to, though the most fanatic iGina-users will claim they last forever and have a good resell value.

But that can be done on WinCE and Symbian devices to I guess? Maybe it's just that iPhone suck then.
But something very hackable with new menues, mediaplayers and future development for years would be cool.
Yeah, why would this be better? Unless it's open it's crap. I will just wait for more android/openmoko phones.
On-demand streaming content, where I am no longer dependent of the exact time a tv show is aired, is a feature I'm missing.
Checked the TV networks webpages or your local bittorrent tracker lately?
What panel technology do most LCD TVs use?
S-PVA or what? Does all of them have input lag?

I can't see the big deal with 3D porn?
.. and that's how the Pentium bug came into existence.
It would seem like step 4 would be plenty, what good is three overwrites compared to that?
I meant LAN sharing in iTunes (or WAN with vlan software), not the number of units you're allowed to play DRM:ed tracks on.
Maybe just nuke Jerusalem with enough nukes that no-one can live there for any reasonable time forward and stop the thousand of years of war in the area? No need to fight for jerusalem if it's unusable.
Where do I sign up for the other side? Pro-Israel my ass :D
Probably because most music available is really old stuff which has been around forever, big news?
Isn't the DRM cracked anyway so you can just make them DRM-free yourself?
Just get a hack, no reason to support retarded configurations at too high prices.
But if you use AAC why get a player which don't support it? Seems rather stupid to convert it to MP3. Sonys MP3-players and Sony Ericsson phones can play AAC can't they? Don't know if Cowon can, to lazy to check. Archos?

All my music is DRM-free, that's how I was able to get it :D
In USA maybe ..
Except collapsing galaxies probably isn't as bad as it sound.
Oh no, look at all the waste! I knew I should have saved it!

Yeah, on the Amiga aminet hold 30.000+ files, on the mac every small utility cost tens of dollars.
Thanks for demonoid!
