Agreed, but the latest nano is pretty poor, was surprised, seems very unapple-like. There is room for a good ultra portable small music player (gyms etc, I see so many ipods) and for them to please, please make a good quality headphone as standard, the ones that come with ipods (of any price) is pathetic. So, let's see what they do.
Why should they make good quality headphones? Seriously, I really don't think that makes any sense for apple or the consumer. Just think about it. Anyone who is serious about getting a nice music listening experience with their iPods will buy some good headphones or did already anyway. So when apple adds high quality headphones to their ipod line (making every ipod cost like 50 EUR more) everyone who already has headphones they like very much (For example I bought some Shures for 100 EUR) would be very very pissed off at buying useless headphones for 50 EUR they never wanted to buy.
As much as I see that a high quality product such as the iPod classic is bundled with something as cheap as the apple earbuds, I just don't want to be forced in buying an expensive headphone which I probably won't like (sound or comfort). Imagine buying a new amplifier for your hifi system and they come bundled with what the producer thought were okay speakers.
Just wanted to clarify that one as this is a very common complain about the iPod line which I just don't see at all.

Indeed, AT&T should be doing it especially once the 2 year contract has expired-- as should Apple themselves.
Furthermore, Apple should be selling factory unlocked iPhones in the US.
It's funny because when a bunch of lawyers (or lawyer'd up consumers) went after ATT solely for the purpose of unlocking the iPhone after the contractual obligation, people were like:
WTF WELCOME TO AMERICA WHERE THE HOOKERS ARE CHEAP AND THE LAWSUITS ARE PLENTIFUL
or my favorite
WHY OH WHY CAN'T A COMPANY JUST MAKE A PHONE FOR ATT AND NOT VERIZON IT'S APPLES CHOICE.
Those who are familiar with the lawsuit will remember clearly that having the iPhone on verizon (at the time) was never a goal.
So it's the consumers fault on this one.

I have a 3 part tent "1 Large Middle and 2 small separate tents linked by a tunnel for privacy" It can be used for up to 12 people "Mini Condo Type" i would be willing to bring that and even share with other folks waiting also.
Since it may rain your tent would be amazing. I have just a big umbrella.

Thanks, that looks really interesting.
Quite welcome :). And that brand is good - I have a couple hard drive docks from them. And as far as the reseller - OtherWorldComputing - they are excellent as well and do a lot of international business. I have one of their SSDs in my iMac.

That's why I'm saying that they're going to soon be offering official unlocks for AT&T iPhones. They already offer them for ANY GSM phone that they sell once a subsidy contract has ended. At that point, you have paid them more than the full amount of the phone's value and you actually own the phone. They should offer an unlock for iPhones that are out of contract, just like they do for any other GSM phone they offer.
My personal take on why the iPhone is the one phone AT&T won't unlock after your contract ends is because iPhones are costly hardware with expensive data plans. In general, iPhone users pay more for the hardware and service, and presumably people with more money travel more often. And to keep things simple, a significant fraction of those customers would rather roam internationally, partly for the convenience of using their actual cell phone number, and partly for not needing to jump through any hoops. Whenever I travel, I take an unlocked flip phone and buy a local prepaid SIM card. It's super cheap, but it does get annoying to deal with new phones numbers and manual reloading of calling credit. Hence the reason why AT&T wouldn't want to unlock out-of-contract iPhones; users may travel with them and provide AT&T profit through roaming charges.

It makes sense. A lot of rumors have hinted that the iPhone will debut with Cingular, but a lot of the good phones end up showing up with T-mobile a short time after launching on Cingular.

Indeed, the Shure E3's are great. Sometimes I wish for a little more bass, but this is usually when listening to tracks on my iPod, where the headphone output's impedance isn't matched too well with the E3's.
Driving from a decent headphone amp, they are really excellent. The isolation also protects your ears in noisy environments; the volume doesn't have to be as loud to come through over the background noise.
I usually use the foam tips when listening for prolonged periods, or the tri-flange tips if I need to pop them on and off during listening. They both offer comparable levels of isolation, although the foamies are slightly more comfortable.

Hi john,
Just drag and drop your ppt file on the Keynote2 app icon (in your Dock if you have it there) and it will open in Keynote.

ShareTool by yazsoft will allow all your bonjour services to work through your VPN just as they do locally. This is the solution I use, and it works perfectly, even itunes home sharing works. This is the only solution I could find as from what I can tell Apple has designed bonjour to not work over VPN.

I have an Audi A3 2.0 TDI and I love it.
I get much better fuel economy than my previous car, doing about 55mpg on most journeys (I don't drive economically!). This is based on UK standards for measuring mpg, so you might need to convert if you live in the US (a gallon is different over here). This is offset by the higher price of diesel though.
At low speeds I do notice the noise more than my previous car, which has a petrol engine. It's not overly loud though. On the motorway it's about the same as a petrol engine - the tyre roar drowns out the engine.
I like the extra torque you get with a Diesel. It's much easier to drive at lower speeds than my last car. It's not quick off the line but once the turbo kicks in it's fast enough. At motorway speeds it's brilliant. Get into the power band on twisty roads and it's great fun.
I haven't noticed any extra maintenance or costs associated over any other car.
I would buy a diesel again, but I think I may go for something sportier next time around and will probably end up with a petrol.

30 hours of 8mm movies. Lemme see...
30 hours times 8 mm divided by the Pacific Decadal Oscillation index, times the interocitor value ... I reckon you'll need about (http://www.digitalrebellion.com/webapps/video_calc.html) 329.59 GB in DV format.
If you need organising, take a look at something like iDive (http://www.aquafadas.com/en/idive-digital-video/index.php). Try the demo.
Any reason you want a NAS rather than directly attached storage?

[QUOTE=NY Guitarist;12326532]I will buy the MBA when it gets a backlit keyboard. I really like the small, light form but need to be able to see the keys in a dark room (or stage). The sales guy at the Apple store just told me to "crank the screen brightness and tilt the display down to light the keys". :D Yeah, uh no, the last thing I need in the dark is a brighter screen.
It is one or two generations before the curent moddel, but mine has the SSD and the backlit keyboard. I couldn't live without the backlit keyboard....use it on night flights and in bed all the time.
I'd consider selling my 13" and getting an 11", but not till they put back the backlit keyboard. Can't understand why they did away with it.
You can sometimes find used ones on Ebay or in the Apple refurbished store.

Thanks for the responses G and Paul. :)
Yes, to answer your question, yes I do have the iTunes volume on max, so it's not one of those types of issues.. :)
What I find particularly interesting is this information on apple.com/emac
"Speakers of the house - The speakers on the eMac are twice the size � and twice the volume � of the speakers in the 15-inch CRT-based iMac. And we�ve designed speaker grills that perfectly coordinate with the eMac and protect the speakers from prying fingers, pens and paper clips."
If anyone can offer any suggestions or further comments I will greatly appreciate them. Thanks! :)

i haven't tried this yet, but if it's true, i'm basically the happiest person ever.
nice erase those gaps
but i'm sure apple is only being nice cause they want our money
But you know the more you try to erase it.... the more
the more... the more you can.
Love that album. And it just looks so great when scrolling through.... too bad its almost dead last.

I will buy either a base 15" or the high end 15." The 17" MBP is awesome and my current laptop has a 17" screen, but IMHO, the MBP 17" is pricey. Although, I have been known to contradict my initial thoughts regarding an expensive purchase. ;)
If you plan to process and edit images on the road, th extra screen real-estate will be well-worth it. If not, just get a very good external monitor to use at home.
