• you have to give apple credit for knowing how to stir up some excitement anyway. the nexus one came out today with all the fanfare of a cable bill.
  
  seriously, an overhead projector on a whiteboard? In reply to: "Major Apple product announcement set for January 27"

• kind of a stupid comment. if apple hadnt created the iphone you wouldnt have all of these iphone ripoffs to choose from.
  
  and the problem that is lost on the hardcore tech geeks is that mass appeal has more to do with appearance than what is under the hood.
  
  the nexus is very cool functionality wise, but still completely misses the design mark with a cluttered ugly interface. so far no one has come close to the sheer user-friendliness of the iphone. In reply to: "Live coverage of Google's Android phone announcement"

  the only point that is worth discussion is that i would love to have seen some elaboration on how exactly the author believes hollywood is more tech savvy...compared to what? In reply to: "Apple's push into subscription TV--a tough sell"

• I agree. This is some pretty crackhead style logic.
  
  If anything, I see someone quickly figuring out, yet again, how to get around xbox live detecting that they have a pirated copy and up to a million modded xboxes being re-modded. In reply to: "Report: Microsoft bans 1 million Xbox Live players"

• Navigon has text to speech and IMHO is a superior product at least in terms of the iPhone apps. If I were going to buy a stand alone GPS I would get a Garmin. Either way...poo to Tom Tom. In reply to: "TomTom prices iPhone car cradle"

• "That being said, the standard 30-pin dock connector has been around since 2003 on every iPod/iPhone (with the exception of Shuffle models). While I agree that Apple is notorious for changing form factors on a whim (ex. the headphone jack seems to switch sides with every generation of Nano), the physical connection itself has been pretty consistent."
  
  The connector is consistent, but functionality is neutered per generation. A car charger/radio tuner that I bought for my ipod several years ago worked fine (charged and transmitted audio to the stereo via tuner) on my 1st generation iPhone. The same accessory used when I upgraded to the iPhone 3g would still charge the iPhone but no longer allowed it to transmit the audio signal. After one of the last iPhone software updates, all functionality is gone. The same accessory still fits perfectly but will no longer charge the device OR allow it to transmit audio to the tuner.

• Mental. A huge well designed one page ad directing you to a URL would be far more effective, but unless they have some proprietary chip, thanks for the free thumb drive/SD card/whatever... In reply to: "CBS to run video ad in magazine this fall"
