New Apple Lust Objects

I've seen some apps that want 6gb+ of space on iPhone (think maps)

holy crap

what??????????

uh

No one knows how long the exclusivity deals last for, though, do they? The US is a bit more fucked, because you only have two GSM networks and the other one (T-Mobile) still has v.patchy coverage.

Yeah, except for the areas where AT&T has patchy coverage and no 3g and t-mobile has much better service

any update on when that korg ds synth is released dan? the videos on youtube make it look amazing...

the DS has no regions and AFAICT the DS-10 interface is all in english anyway? you can import it for $50 or so right now

I'm just going off of google shopping tho, could be wrong

where do you find info on the service plan for the iphone?

att.com?

not really. none of the "data plans" list the iphone as a compatible phone. they have an iphone FAQ page that is very unhelpful ... it says things like "your iphone will be in as little as 15 minutes from when you buy your plan!" but no info on how much the different plans cost or which ones are eligible w/ the iphone.

from memory i think the cheapest one was $60?

presumably there's no reasing why there wouldn't be a ROM floating around somewhere for the ds-10 thing? usual channels coming up blank

wasn't aware it had even been released in jp

release date 25 july:

this might need a slot-2 RAM pack btw = no ROMzz

guys, is it only worth getting the 16GB iphone if you plan to load up with music or is something else going to take up space? the apps cant grab too much HD can they?

i got a 16GB for exactly that reason. i don't want to be sitting there going: "woah, look at all these apps! fuck, they won't fit on my phone."

instead i'll be going: "woah, look at all these apps! fuck, they're all cool GPS shit and they won't work on my first-generation phone."

why no 32 gig?

"packaging"

Much interest in SPROUTCORE?

Yo my new Apple lust object is the G4 tower that someone is giving me for free. I don't think it's coming with anything else, though -- a monitor or any cables or etc etc. Will know more once I pick it up.

Do I need a Mac-specific monitor of some kind? Or can I just pick up any used one of recent vintage?

any monitor will do!

any monitor will do but depending on the vintage of G4 you may need an adapator, any USB keyboard and mouse will do.

If it has an ADC type port the tech restore will be able to sell you an adaptor, apple store will not IIRC. For VGA or DVI most monitors have both of these and it should be trivial to convert from DVI to VGA and any computer store can sell you a converter.

ADC looks like this:

DVI looks very similar but has square ends rather than round.

Hey so the 24" Apple Cinema Display I want to attach to my matching nu-iMac has usb and firewire ports. Are those connected via DVI port (which I will connect with a mini-dvi plug)?

no, separate cables. The ADC was a great idea putting USB, firewire and power down the cable but it put the price of graphics cards up by at least $100. Died a death some time in the G5 years.

Brilliant -- thanks, Ed! I will figure all of this out over the weekend (plus how to get online ie wireless thingy vs running cable).

If it hasn't got a wireless thingy built in then you will be stuck with wired, the wireless cards for that generation of Macs are as rare as hens teeth and beside, wired is more reliable and faster.

yeah i'm slowly realizing that wireless connectivity at home is super-dumm

so the "2 usb and 2 firewire" ports don't include the ones to connect to the computer. Comes with Cables i hope

I'm not even going to use my homewireless except for guests, my cell phone (lol imap is fast over 802.11 v edge), my iphone and my future macbook air

So glad i pulled cat-5 when I had the floors up a few years back.

wireless @ home = internet in bath yo

...on bog

... in kitchen (for radio4 widget)

... in living room (zattoo the football, while spendaholics is on)

... iplayer in bed

BBC iPlayer most popular:

Page Three Teens

I use wireless as well, for many of these things kitchen especially. CAT-5 runs to the bedrooms.

yeah, i mean as the main way to connect, i.e. torrents. it's like driving a lamborghini in first gear.

oh... I do torrents over wireless and max out at 200Kbps on a 2Mbps connection

if I connected over ethernet, would that rise significantly?

no

unless yr sitting next to a microwave or something

sproutcore is really pretty nice.

trace - i don't get yr wireless comments, esp wrt torrents. i've got airport extreme which should do 20Mbps at worst (50ish at best i think), and my ADSL download is 8Mbps at best. i used to be wired up, and have never noticed any slow down going wired.

(actually i DO put up with a slow down, but that's on my cheap NAS thing that only does 100baseT to the router)

(d'oh - sry, that 100baseT isn't relevant of course - the slowdown i'm thinking of there is cos i'm comparing it to direct connec to the USB2 HD.)

retransmits on wireless might introduce some latency but i think the tcp windowing should take care of it

I am sick of waiting for this so-called iphone.

Oh well if you're on 802.11n then that's different Mr. La-di-dah.

Australia officially has three providers now.
