Depends on the prices you pay for the ink as well. Original Epson carts for my R300 at home cost about £13UKP each. You can get 3rd party ones in the highstreet over here for about £7UKP each.
And I've just gone and found a source at the same quality, but £8.99UKP for 2 sets (each set being 5 colours and 2 blacks). 2 sets for less than one original cart.
Whilst our youngest (3 years old) loves the "classic" disney animations, and we'd love to return to disney florida again, I'm wondering how long Disney Co. can keep flogging the old stuff, its quite a task to keep such fondness as a going concern.
I can see in a generations time that if Disney hasn't resurrected their animation business, then they will possibly be seeing a major decline in business.
Got a 7230 here, connected via a BES to a mailbox that takes in a couple of thousand mails per week. I leave it on to make sure the date/times sync up nicely.
Typically get over 7 days usage, thats left on 24 hours a day. Right now, after 5 days, its at 50%.
I've got a 7230 by my side right now. 5 days continual usage, and battery is now at 60%. That is pretty darned awesome performance.
Its a fantastic example of well implemented technology, aimed squarely at the right market. It does just what it says on the tin, no bells or whistles. Nothing comes close.
Similar things here, although I'm the european offices of an American company.
We are rolling out (throughout europe) several thousand Blackberries amongst all management and the sales force.
In the US, as far as I know, its running at 100% of managers (all levels) using the devices as well. Doubt those guys will hand them back; they love checking their game scores on a company supplied device.
You didn't research the market at all, did you? The BB (at least via a BES) does seamless integration with your exchange servers, works close to perfectly (BES seems to be massively more reliable than the exchange servers they rely on).
They open word/excel/pdf good enough for most people. v4 of the software handles images massively better. And as another poster has mentioned, you can edit word/excel docs as well. Oh, and we are shipping out a couple of thousand of these... throughout europe.
They (Blackberry) make a very good business e-mail device, I doubt you'll find anything that works better. I'll be intrigued to find out how good the M$ product "works".
I've used Pop/imap on my mobile, and its pretty lousy in comparison to Blackberry push technology.
Minor point, but the X-Scale wasn't an Intel design (at least not at the outset) - its one helluvan evolution of the venerable old Acorn Arm Chip.
I'm intrigued by this possible chip change though; there must be some pretty good reasoning going on in Jobs head (ie. there has to be some "cool factor" going on somewhere?).
Surprising that no-one has mentioned the 3rd side of the force before now. I'm working in tech support, and a large percentage of our user base have this part of the force running through them with such strength.
Acorn did exactly this sort of thing years ago with the Risc PC range - you could add on similarly sized modules onto the top (or side if you rotated them), containing extra hds, optical drives, etc. Pretty cool stuff.
I can't believe that people are wanting to download it already... actually, I can. This is one torrent I'd definitely steer clear of though, its going to get the MPAA and all their minions chomping at the bit.
I'd like to know where the SCMS copy bits come into all this - I know that CDs (used to) have the SCMS bits set so you could (in theory) do 2 generations of copy.
One of the guys in office downloaded it, watched it, reckoned it was a load of rubbish. I'm not bothering with either downloading it or watching it on the telly.

IME what you normally get is :
a) Knowledgeable staff on average salary + unrealistic deadlines, somehow managing to motivate themselves to do a good job
and then
b) Average management using the abilities of said knowledgeable staff, getting all the praise for the projects somehow coming in on time, and getting a huge pay rise for their "efforts".
I think I may be getting just a little bitter and twisted about my career prospects.
I rarely RTFA, but I always stop on mentions of the ARM cpus.
To say that the original gameboy was running an ARM7, jeeze, thats taking the mick, innit?
Yup, the article truly, truly sucks more than a TurboCharged Dyson.
Major interface problems? Joystick is pretty normal, keypad has taken next to no time to get used to.
As for memory, come on, it can take up to 1gig MMC cards, and they are hot swappable.
There still is one :

Kinda looks like one of the old Video 2000 Monsters I had when I was younger, awesome piece of kit, if only for the technology. I'd figure my archaic Linn Sondek could easily beat it for overall sound quality.
Slashdot Mirror
Surely you don't want your bits going backwards down the line, do you?
On a serious note, I've always prefered the sound of my Linn Sondek (turntable) to all the CD players I've listened to.
Got a friend who is payed to review high end audio kit, and it is funny reading some of his reviews. Once upon a time he was relatively sane.

The Blackberry is a Java device; you can run a Java VNC client on it. Check?

Maybe my mind is in the gutter (very likely at the moment), my first thought about Sun Wars was fighting boobies (ie. page 3 girls).

Come on, real coders can work with 4k or less of EEPROM and 256 bytes or less ram.
Anything more is just inefficient.
I'd like to know where the SCMS copy bits come into all this - I know that CDs (used to) have the SCMS bits set so you could (in theory) do 2 generations of copy.
Is this still the case?
Wake me up when the Olson twins have finally put on a bit of weight.

Nah, when you load it backwards, it installs XP or some other spawn of the devil (thats on the 12" remix though, the 7" release only installs Win2K).
