I am so freakin excited! Ugh hehehe I just want the Apple Store to be back up so that I place the freakin order!
However, do you think that the black model has become Glossy or is it still made of Matte material? i.e. The black outisde not the screen.

1) Yea ok, keep dreaming fantasy boy.
2) The stories you read online dont actually count as a measure of Apples quality control.
I've never had to return any of a dozen Apple devices.
1) Name calling is so childish
2) Assuming is.... Well you know what they say
Sorry you're feeling so down.

What happened to it?
The palm rest (which has already been replaced once) is chipping up from the corner. Its also lifting up from the left side next to the CAPS LOCK button. A few keys (shift and the arrows) are getting mushy. The screen bezel is coming off from the right side. The top of it is chipping off as well.
There are also hairline cracks where the heat is released. Finally the bottom of the thing is heat discolored very dark.
My wife has a new unibody Macbook and the build construction is so much better than my old whitebook.

Owning software /= professional. Skill and natural talent for editing make you a professional. A real pro can cut footage on any system, any piece of software and doesn't rely on apps to do it for them. It's a tool that they use to do what they do faster and more efficiently so they can maximize their time/profits.

This also means that iTunes is going to be outdated and useless soon...at least for those of us with iOS devices :)

Apple added their own Flash player that only works with Utube. They had to do that or they would have been killed in the press, but still they have their own custom flash player for UTube video, but block all else.
Umm... No. YouTube on the I phone isn't flash. It's quicktime h.264. YouTube made their site work with the iPhone, and with flash. I have my MacBook set to use quicktime when I go to YouTube because Flash player for mac is so poorly written.

They are the foundation of everything in the pop & rock world with a reach way outside of just pop & rock. Like Zepplin or Pink Floyd? You like the Beatles. Like Coldplay or Eminem or Devil Wears Prada or Pat Metheny or whatever ... you like the Beatles.
not really. If I like Pink Floyd, I like Pink Floyd...not the Beatles.
Saying I like Apples doesn't = I like oranges...though both are fruit.
the Beatles are talented, but tired. That was my point.
I know everyone loves them, and I also know that everyone loves the familiar...but, uh, there's loads better new music from this century and I think it would be nice to let a dead dog lay.

I don't shop at WalMart, and stories like this are the reason why. Sam's Club, screw them too. Last time I was in a WalMart, which was years ago, the vibe was just weird. I don't mean to offend anyone but it was trashy and cheap and I felt like some hillybilly standing at an intersection where I could buy a DVD player(by some company I never heard of) for $45, generic cheese puffs, fishing poles, or some crappy sandals.

This is awesome news! Sounds like iOS 5 will now give Google's Voice Actions for Android a run for its money. Ha...I even have the Siri app on my home screen (which I seldom use) but after WWDC and seeing its integration into iOS 5, I'll be using it or whatever it will be called a lot more often. Looking forward to WWDC '11! :D

PC sales are shrinking because of stagnation in the primary driving force for selling new PC hardware.
Games.
Gamers now have 4 platforms to choose from (smart phone, console, hand-held, PC), and game developers are putting LESS dollars into high end PC titles and concentrating on consoles for their premium products.
With no Diablo 3 (or whatever) to entice me with gameplay I can't find anywhere else, I have much less of a reason to play games on my PC rig, much less upgrade it.
When it comes to writing emails or checking facebook, a smart phone or tablet will do that just as well as a PC.
Macs have never been gaming machines, so they are immune from that particular effect. It is 'trendy' to have a macbook right now (seriously, go to a coffee shop and tell me what you see), and the vast majority of their sales are to less-technology/gadget-savvy users who have bought their Mac because of other people telling them that Macs are good, rather than the hardware, specs, or software on the computer.
In the end, it is all marketing... which is the case with most of Apple's products. They have been selling PC hardware now for years at a higher price than their competitors. Windows 7 isn't any worse (or better) than MacOS for browsing the web or checking email..... so its not the OS that is influencing soccer moms and emo kids to buy Mac either.

does anyone know exactly how much thinner the new nanos are? im sure it is just a few centimeters, if not millimeters but i am still curious.
A few centimetres?!? The nano's less than a centimetre thick.
I think it went from 0.65cm to 0.61cm. 6.5mm to 6.1mm

Any chance of full change log? Haha guess that's too much to ask......
I wouldn't expect a 'full changelog' from Apple given it isn't something that they really do - to the disappointment of many unfortunately.
Still no Verizon version?
Seems like Verizon isn't getting the love as AT&T is getting. :cool:
I'd say that Verizon maybe blocking the update because they want to make sure that all hell doesn't break loose once it is released. It would be interesting to see what the justification is, maybe 5.0 will be the 'big change' for iOS on AT&T and Verizon phones?
I hate how you have to download the entire OS every time there's a small update like this. 666MB for a few bug fixes... Also, what's up with the 666MB? Maybe we should stay away from this update guys lol.
This has been a problem ever since the App Store appeared to; on the Mac one is told to re-download a 4GB application for a few piddly updates in much the same way one is forced to re-download the whole operating system. I do wonder what their rational actually is - when they recompile the whole operating system they're unable to create a piecemeal patch (difference between the new version and old version)? That when they update one thing there is an ABI change that requires the whole thing to be re-installed?

I am sure Apple is not happy, and as a consumer I wouldn't be, either. It is good short-term business sense (maximizing today's sales), but a terrible move long run as the reputation will take a big hit with customers and suppliers. A classic case of not looking past the end of your nose.
In my part of the world, Radio Shack's reputation is pretty well cooked anyway.
The only way their business model is going to work in 2011 is if they know how to recruit and train people who love both the products they offer and love the people enough to serve them well. It can be done...I know, because I have to do it myself, in a small company with about 450 employees.
But there's something wrong at the top at Radio Shack, and it filters all the way down to the individual retail units.
One of my stores is right next door to a Radio Shack store in a small country town. In a low peak period, during which it would make no sense to have a half dozen employees on the clock in a small electronics store, all six of them will be outside lounging right in front of the door, smoking and gossiping in a loud voice, and not always with socially acceptable language.
And they're always the same race and the same sex, and they even basically look the same.
This is a very diverse town in the Home Counties of Virginia. It is easy to hire every kind of minority you can imagine. I'd say that about 50% of the population of this small town is more or less permanently turned off by seeing this kind of thing.
There's something wrong at Radio Shack right now, and they're going down if they don't get it in shape, fast.
And I'll say it again...this kind of thing is evidence of something wrong at the top.
It's a shame, because this small store, everything electronic concept still has something to offer the people, especially in small towns.
I'm on the waiting list at my Radio Shack and the two guys ahead of me didn't have to buy an accessory with their iPad. Might be a store by store thing.
I'm gonna check this out personally. I have an iPad 2 on order, but it'd be neat to just walk into a Radio Shack and grab one.
I'll give it a try.
Even though I'll have to fight my way through a half dozen tobacco addicted employees on the sidewalk.

This was a good WWDC. :D Quad Xeons... what I was hoping for since 2004!
When Phil announced the MacPro and the Xeon chip he stressed on an amazing performance per watt ratio. That sounded a lot like Steve introducing the MacBook Pro and iMac with the first Intel chips. At the time the performance per watt ratio was an important criteria for battery life on notebooks, which is apparently why the PowerBook never got a G5.
With the Xeons high perf/watt, should we be expecting them to be fitted in later MacBook and MacBook Pros?

I hope they eventually make a 15" MacBook and a 13" MacBook Pro. I think they are in a good spot to expand the line-up to cover a larger base of consumers. They're not dummies, the iBook/PowerBook line-up was great.
And destroy the sales of the computers that they would be competing against in the line-up? Apple won't do it. That's why they're holding off as long on the MacBooks as possible.

Funny stuff. And yet people refuse to learn. There are plenty of threads today about iPhone, iPad and other products that are otherwise indistinguishable from that one.
Re: iPod classic. It's sad to say it, but I agree it is done. The world's just moved past the design which has not substantially changed since 2001 (today's iMacs are substantially different than those from 2001 (http://support.apple.com/kb/sp109)). It's still got the same layout, even if the materials, screen, scroll wheel and screen have seen revisions. But these days, it's all about touch, flash memory and the fabled "convergence" (remember that word? Everyone was throwing it around as the "next big thing", but nothing ever really worked. But then it actually happened, even though people forgot about it). It would be nice if Apple acknowledged it and officially laid it to rest on its 10 year anniversary, rather than just quietly discontinuing it.

The current camera on the iPhone 4 is stellar IMO and many others... an equal 8MP camera would be even better....
I agree, its a great camera overall.
Availability?
With the millions of these the iphone takes maybe adding the millions the ipad2 would use is beyond the current capacity of their manufacturers?
Or, if production capacity would have meant to introduce the ipad2 later, they used what was available at the time.
As for $ 5 more, multiply that with the amount of devices they make and it's millions of dollars. In any company a net cost of $ 5 doesn't stay that way. It gets multiplied up to retail.
Deliberate ploy, don't think so. But, since we both don't have any proof..........
I thought it was for space reasons? Isnt the iphone camera module much thicker than the ipad and ipod ones?

IMHO the white leaves different marks that are just as back...after awhile ull get a bunch of scuff marks that make the finish look more greyish brown...this is why i hated iBooks
I've never seen an iBook that looked grey even after all the scuffing. I've got an iBook and it still looks white under all lighting conditions.

As for the voice command thing - I don't really care. It's not like it takes that long to press an icon, although it might help some in the cold wiinter when I have gloves on.
