Every iPhone thread leaves me amazed at how complacent Americans are in accepting terrible mobile telephony. When's the last time (in Europe) that you had a "dropped call"? I had to look up the term because it meant nothing to me. If the iPhone is going to work properly, then someone needs to give assurances that your calls will actually go through. Forget about downloading songs on the go for a moment, and consider the intended purpose of a phone. If I want to make a call, it means that I need to get through and actually end up talking to someone; not that I want to try to call someone. Don't get me wrong, I'd love an iPhone. I'm just glad I live in a country where your calls go through, and stay going until you terminate it. And what's with this paying for incoming minutes thing? The payment should be the responsibility of the person doing the calling. At least, that's how it seems to work over here.
Well, maybe things have improved since I left, but I certainly had the occasional dropped call when I lived in Britain. Its the nature of the technology.
While advocates of CDMA argue that in theory it should be more robust against dropped calls than other types of network, my worst experience was on Sprint PCS, which uses IS-95, the US CDMA standard. But I've not had any serious problems with either AT&T WS (now Cingular) or T-Mobile, certainly no more than I had with one2one or Orange.
As far as the last part goes, there are two ways to view the "who pays for the call" argument, and neither is the "wrong" one:
1. The person who decided to make the call should pay for it.
2. The person who determined the network they're going to be available on should pay for their part of the call, because their choice determined how expensive it would be.
(2) works very well if you're trying to replace your landline with a cellphone, as you're not forcing everyone, your friends, your family, etc, to pay premium rates to call you. Typical talk plans in the US include so many bundled minutes and unmetered calling periods and types that incoming calls are not a source of fear, and "my cellphone as my only phone" is a real practical proposition, which it just plain isn't in Britain.
However, (1) makes low user tariffs such as PAYG much more practical, and also means you're not in the awkward position of having to claim back minutes used by your boss, etc.
One is not superior to the other. I'd prefer the tariff I'm on to one where incoming minutes are charged at excessive rates to callers (up to 40p - 70c per minute for mobile to mobile calls in Britain, last time I looked) given my needs and circumstances, but if my phone was an emergency phone that I didn't plan to make many calls on and preferred to use pre-paid, I'd probably prefer paid-for incoming calls.

So why don't they make these anymore?

You are going to be so disappointed when they announce the phone and you realize that they just released a phone. Yes, the phone is designed by Apple and has a nice UI, maybe one somewhat unique feature, but you're essentially going to be getting a fairly regular phone with a feature that most people would never use often.
I realize that it hasn't been released yet, but the iPhone will never live up to the hype. The number of people who have said they're waiting for it to be released in order to buy it is staggering.......and a bit scary. I wouldn't be waiting for a product when I haven't seen a photo of it, when I haven't seen a features list, a technical specs page, or even a release date. That's crazy.
Dude, I fully realise that this is a pipe dream... and that it might not happen - but seriously - don't be a buzz kill!? These forums are all about dreaming.
In my reality - I fully expect the iPhone to be a phone. I just hope that it's a good phone... I will probably buy it... I'm just an apple freak - I bought the iPod before it got really popular... I just want to be one of the first to have one... having the extra features will be a frickin bonus if you ask me... how awesome would it be - come on admit it if this phone had all the features you would seriously consider getting one! No?

After years of abandonment finally someone at Apple said, 'oh crap yeah what's this Logic thing we have? We should probably put some resources on that.'
That's pretty funny, except...
Logic 9 was released in July of 2009 (8 months ago), and
Logic 9.1 was released in January of this year (2 months ago).

I gave up using Aperture to manage facebook and flickr images. It was way too slow, and I sometimes had Aperture delete a picture on Flickr after I did some more edits. I'd lose all the comments and favorites it had attached to it, which are part of the fun of posting there. I went back to manually uploading using the Flickr upload program.
Exactly why I use Lightroom 3 for this and not the half azz'd implementation employed by Apple.

I've ordered it and will see if it suits my need. You're right, with all of my searching, and I've been searching, for some reason, I did not search enough!
After I try it, I'll report further.

No worries, I was just busting balls...slow day at work.
I have a couple friends with this (want one bad, but I'm too cheap) and it's THE best in-car cradle I've ever used. You won't be disappointed. Note: you have to use the charger plug washer supplied to be sturdy, plug a 3.5mm cable from your stereo to the base of the cradle and the cable from the mount to your iphone's 3.5mm jack for aux to work. Also, wrap the cable that goes from the mount to the iphone to the back of the mount to reduce excess cable hanging. You'll know what I mean when you're setting up the unit.
I'm actually surprised this unit isn't recommanded more often on this forum.
Edit - the FM version/function is complete garbage. Don't bother with it.

I have to say that my loyalty to Apple dropped a bit. Mac Pro really tested my patience and the update was definately worth it but why in the hell did they not update ACDs to go with it? I really hope they will do silent update this week so I can buy my MP+ACD and forget Apple for few months (until I have money for a notebook) :)

Hi everyone - being a newbie the following:
Just installed a bigger and faster new HD in the mini - is there any way to start the OS installation without a wired keybd? (i.e pressing 'c' ) all I get now is some DVD churning sounds and a grey screen telling me to restart the machine.
If there is no way - how would I go about ejecting the darned DVD out of the mini without taking everything apart?
hoping for some good answers.

I want full DVD resolution. I have since refused to purchase any videos or movies on itunes until I get full DVD quality picture, not crappy 4:3 VGA movies. Was not for this nonsense on Apple's part I would have had a huge collection of music videos by now.

too bad about the lack of acd updates. i'm not ready to buy one myself, but a friend i work with was buying a new setup for herself, so I told her of the upcoming mac pro refresh and possible acds, but i just told her this morning to go ahead and head up to NH to get a tax free MP (she also gets edu because she takes a few classes every year). In good news she's buying a HP 30" monitor from IT at work for $900. She also claims that ebay has some HP 30"ers for $900 shipped, but i try to stay away from the fleabay these days. Still, it was tough to tell her to pay $800 for a 23" when she could get a 30" for $100 more. The HP is ugly, but she's a designer with a rather picky eye and she used it all day yesterday to test it and just loved the actual screen.

The discussion of strategy will only have Apple's weaker competitors gunning to copy products.
Increasingly desperate Dell and Microsoft really have nothing to loose and everything to gain.

Are you sure the X800 had anything to do with it? Because I have one and have no problems putting my computer to sleep.
--Eric
Yes I am sure it's the card. I think mine is faulty. There was a sleep issue problem with the card, however. There's been several ROM updates that have aimed to fixed the problem. Unfortunately, nothing has worked on mine.

If it is an iMac, or in fact, any G3, check to see if there is a firmware update that you need to run.
Also on G3's don't you have to install Mac OS X within the first partition (within the first 8gb)?
