$600 for 8gb no thank you.

It can't *just* be the memory. (But obv. it is what the market will bear too; also the bundled contract stuff.)

iTV page says iTunes downloads will still be 640x whatever. $300 to download sub-DVD movies at $15-20 apiece? Still really, really stupid.

but will the phone be scratchproof, jobs?

Wait, so has anyone deciphered what "5 hours battery" means exactly yet?

xpost lol @ cutty

tasty

― hearditonthexico (rogermexico), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 19:28 (seventeen years ago) link

they dropped the price of airport express with airtunes, it looks like, so that's nice, I want one of those.

This has been the only info any interest to me on the whole thread! Stupid sexy cellphones...

The leaked Dr. Who market is kinda small and returns no profit, alas.

So "carrying it around normal texting phone etc use" is how many hours, is I think what I meant by that question.

I suspect that the answer is that nobody knows until the actual phones ship out to reviewers.

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 19:38 (seventeen years ago) link

Also, why can't mac.com push out IMAP to this?

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 19:39 (seventeen years ago) link

:/ oh well. 5hrs doesn't really seem like much from the party line standards that most of these babies tout but I don't pay that much attention to them to say 100% for sure.

― AllyzayEisenschefterBDawkinsFlyingSquirrelRomoCrying.jpg (allyzay), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 19:39 (seventeen years ago) link

How long should by year and a half old ipod nano be lasting with battery play? I think it's only lasting about 4 hours before the red light comes on; is that right?

Also: I can't turn it off anymore. When I hit the top button and play at the same time, and then release, it comes back on. Sometimes I can finesse it to stay off, but if I then try and switch to lock mode, it comes back to life.

i know blackberries have 3 hour talk times...

― Jams Murphy (ystrickler), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 19:41 (seventeen years ago) link

I've just watched the presentations at Apple. It seriously looks brilliant. It is to my Nokia what the iPod was to a 32mb flash MP3 player.

Not sure about the crazy flash-up keyboard, but.

― stet (stet), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 19:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Jesus how do you people deal with your "smart phones" and their no batteries.

― AllyzayEisenschefterBDawkinsFlyingSquirrelRomoCrying.jpg (allyzay), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 19:43 (seventeen years ago) link

5h talk time seems not too shabby, judging from a quick google. xpost.

― ledge (ledge), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 19:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah I had no idea that blackberries had such limited talk time, the AGES ago I had one almost foisted on me, it had a much longer battery life but OTOH it probably had about 1/48th of the features back then. I didn't realize batteries hadn't improved with the rest of the item, sorry!

it doesn't?

― roc u like a § (ex machina), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 19:48 (seventeen years ago) link

they made me listen to u2 AND coldply wtf

― jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 19:48 (seventeen years ago) link

.mac IMAP def doesnt push--

but why are they touting yahoo mail as something awesome?

― cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 19:49 (seventeen years ago) link

but now the iphone must also gain a 6mega pixel camera within it as well!

― Latham Green (mike), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 19:49 (seventeen years ago) link

2's not too shabby, but it'll be shit all the same. I don't know if there's a use for huge mp cameras on phones when the lenses are always going to be dreck. I use this 3mp phone-cam a lot less than the old VGA one.

― stet (stet), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 19:51 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah where the camera/video camera @???

― jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 19:52 (seventeen years ago) link

They didn't mention the lens. It would be great if it was surprisingly good all the same.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 19:54 (seventeen years ago) link

but why are they touting yahoo mail as something awesome?

because a lot of people use it!

Quote from BBC News story about the Keynote.

"In a keynote speech, attended by more than 2,000 people, Mr Jobs spent the first 10 minutes bigging up the move to Intel chips."

"Bigging up" what kind of fucking language is that? I thought the BBC was a serious news website, not a drum and bass chatroom.

Okay seriously people are excited about this thing?

― The Android Cat (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 19:59 (seventeen years ago) link

so I have a video ipod, which i feel no need to change, and a blackberry for work that i don't want to use as a phone. but i do need a new phone because my mesozoic one is falling apart. i have no particular desire to switch from verizon and am hesitant about going off analog (though I'll likely do that anyway). why do i want to spend the money for this?

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 19:59 (seventeen years ago) link

You don't.

― AllyzayEisenschefterBDawkinsFlyingSquirrelRomoCrying.jpg (allyzay), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 20:00 (seventeen years ago) link

because you are a lawyer

― cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 20:00 (seventeen years ago) link

Yea, because they add a surcharge. PS - Fuck off trolly

New Airport base station can support a USB hard drive too.

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 20:03 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm wondering if the itv, can, like everyone else is wondering, play divx (fuck a time- and quality-consuming transcode!!), and whether i can chain another HD to it so i can have true mega-media-library awesomeness.

and do you also need a new base station to use it if you have a 802.11n card in your mac??

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 20:04 (seventeen years ago) link

the iTV looks like a shit product, even if it was $100. I'd rather invest in the new Sling product.

The iPhone looks awesome, especially if Internet service is robust. But I really don't trust Cingular to get that part of the equation right.

― don weiner (don weiner), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 20:04 (seventeen years ago) link

Apple TV only streaming via iTunes makes it a big disappointment for me. Hopefully, once 802.11n is up and running, a third party will make a product that will allow me to stream whatever app's (ie. VLC for me) output to my TV.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 20:05 (seventeen years ago) link

the hard drive aspect of the airport is fantastic. this is exactly what i have been waiting for. now i can attach my external itunes hard drive and stream w/ my laptop. holla.

― Jams Murphy (ystrickler), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 20:06 (seventeen years ago) link

That is actually completely, completely awesome and makes new airport 100% worth buying.

― AllyzayEisenschefterBDawkinsFlyingSquirrelRomoCrying.jpg (allyzay), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 20:08 (seventeen years ago) link

all I'd want the iTV for is to have a decent GUI for the music and photo features. It can't hold a candle to Tivo for the TV part, and unless you can hook up a RAID type of situation then the movie watching aspect is subpar as well.

But I must admit that paying $300 for a good GUI to run music off my computer is better than my Slimserver.

Hi Yancey.

Did people get this working for Airport Express AirTunes?

now i can attach my external itunes hard drive and stream w/ my laptop. holla.

I'd be more psyched if this worked with all usb devices ala wireless usb.

― roc u like a § (ex machina), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 20:08 (seventeen years ago) link

hey don!

see i really dig the apple tv. i want a simple media center to control these things -- agreed on lameness of unsupported formats but i'm assuming that won't last long -- and most of the things out there already (squeezebox, sonos, kalaidescope, etc) are prohibitively expensive. i haven't looked into the slingshot yet and i know everyone loves it so i should certainly check it out. but i dunno, think about this as simply a hub with a simple ui, i'm totally down.

― Jams Murphy (ystrickler), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 20:10 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah i like the idea--i want a simple media hub for all my music & movies so i don't have to plug in my ipod to my stereo all the time (and it's running out of space), nor burn discs of divxes to play in my divx-friendly dvd player. i want it all there with one remote. and if appletv can make it happen w/o being too proprietary i'm down. but do i need a NEW airport? that's not so hot.
