am i the only one a little disappointed at the Apple announcements?
Here's why:
1- only 1 studio signed on for movies, they are purchases, not rentals also.
2- ipod changes are not dramatic, more like minor tweaks. Ipod nano even is using an older case design. video ipod is a serious letdown, looks like they can't get the 16:9 model working.
3- no ipod/smartphone/treo type device.
it is like apple knew they didnt have great announcements so they announced the Itv device.
Some positives though:
1- Updated Itunes 7 Looks alot nicer, runs better. Hell i even have the pics for all of my owned cd's i ripped now.
2- movies are starting, nice thing for apple. hope they get more studios under contract.
3- games on ipod. this seems nice, but these games are hardly killer app's. i imagine more games over time. like there will be movies
Apple, you really need to start

What do you guys think of the new little template I made at the bottom. It's an attempt to let the internet-at-large somehow provide some feedback for the Guides. I realize that the internet-at-large is able to edit the guide directly, but some users may feel daunted by that, when all they really want to do is ask for more information or something.
I'm certain that a random user will need more information that he may not have himself. This simply provides them an easier mechanism to ask.
I'm not a big fan... find it very distracting. Part of it is the look, which is shared by some other templates... feel they are discordant with the rest of the site.
will play around with them when I get a chance. Besides... people can't register and post, they need to register, get 20 posts, then post :) That may be fixed shortly though

I am looking for some good headphones because my cheap in ears have broken. Again. I heard skullcandy's are good. I found both of them for 28 dollars and 32 dollars on overstock.com. I plan on listening to rap and hip hop and techno with a little rock. Which one should I get? Opinions?

As far as the guarantees go, this is what I see at negrielectronics.com (http://negrielectronics.com/apple-iphone-unlocking-service-permanent-solution.html) right now:
Your iPhone is now unlocked permanently!
Unlocked. Permanent. 100% Guaranteed or your money back*.
Your order may require verification. Please look for an email from us to further verify your order. This is a high fraud item and we take every precaution and approach fraud very seriously.
*(If the unlock is not successful, please email us a video link showing your IMEI and the unlock being unsuccessful).
**To deter possible fraud, we also reserve the right to remotely lock your device by IMEI
That's awfully tempting...they accept major CCs. You could always dispute the charge...
This is what is scary about this new unlocking avenue. Obviously someone has access to Apple's DB and from this statement, it seems like the access they have allows the to lock it. This means they could lock anyone's iPhone at anytime, even factory unlocked units. Even the carriers do not have this level of access. I was told by the Rogers unlocking team, that they could unlock but could not relock any phones...only Apple had that access. These unlockers have greater access to the Apple systems than the carriers do (already obvious, since they can unlock multiple carriers and the carriers can only unlock their own).

How carriers can get away with what amounts to restraint of trade is beyond me.
I totally agree! I had to jumped through hoops to have my out of contract 3GS unlocked in order to use it when I was oversea. So I can use the local SIM and more importantly my OWN phone with all my stuff on it!
And because of that I am now no longer able to upgrade my phone's software anymore from Apple (I had to use iPad baseband...). I tried to upgrade and it bricked my phone. Went to Apple and they want $200 for a 3GS replacement. And he even added "Well, I don't want to get you banned from having an iPhone ever again!" It is all BS!!! I refused and spent 24 hours online and finally unbricked it myself.
All I want is to use my OWN phone and I am sick of feeling like I am a thief or something.

I sold my iPad 1 which was jailbroken on 4.2.1. Since buying my iPad 2 the jailbreak is biggest thing I miss. I'm staying on 4.3 until we know which version the jailbreak will work on!
Same here. Sold my jailbroken iPad 1 and bought an iPad 2. I missed my jaillbroken apps.
...Waiting patiently for the jailbreak.

One of the things that irritates me about iTMS is the fact that I can't play my purchased tracks on anything other than an iPod.
You can, with limitations. If you burn to CD, then rip to a lossless format, you can put an exact copy on anything. Right now the resulting larger files really do present a problem when moving to other players (unless you're willing to accept recompression losses), but time will erase this as storage density goes up and prices drop.
For example, the current high-end iPod can already hold more uncompressed audio than the original could hold in the iTMS compressed form, yet the newer model costs a little less.

what a great forum, everyone! so glad to have found it. been reading and reading thread after thread all afternoon.
spending some pleasant time putting a little shine into my daughter's new ibook g4... getting it ready for her to use as her first real computer. she's six. got it for her for her birthday from geeks.com. $200 shipped. felt that was a pretty good deal. she's very excited about it.
i've got a couple questions i hope y'all can help with:
1. i've installed the lastest tenfourfox. seems to be a solid browser. same problems with jumpy flash video on sites like youtube that everyone seems to have... if i've read things correctly, there's no real good fix for this if tenfourfox doesn't help?
2. tenfourfox is supposed to be html5 compliant. right? so why do sites like vimeo.com recommend i get an html 5 compliant browser? have i overlooked a checkbox somewhere?
3. a few of the sites she loves (pbs.kids) require an upgrade to flash 10.2 to view some of their content. that upgrade can't be done on a ppc. right? i've been all over the google looking for a workaround for this and can find none. just thot i'd throw that out there in case i missed something.
thanks again for your help in advance. really have enjoyed reading thru your helpful forum today!

Anyone know if the UM computer showcase will have it on launch day? I like the apple store, but not enough to drop an extra $50. Yes, I'm a student.
If you go to the site it says shiping on the 26th eta on the 1st. I guess I will be ordering from there for 69.

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.
Agreed. Unfortunately, The FCC has been derelict in failing to bring the wireless providers to account.
As to paying $170 to unlock an iPhone, why not simply jailbreak it and be done with it for a whole lot less money. One of the jailbreaks I have seen is quite simple, although it is specific to the particular iOS version which requires that it be done again every time there is an iOS update (after the jailbreak crew works out the new version).
The store for non-Apple apps, "Cydia" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codling_moth), is amusingly named.

is this compatible with the 160gb ipod classic?
It says its compatible with all iPods with a video output. I am pretty sure that the 160Gb Classic has video output, but to be sure, why not check to see if it has the video output options like my 5.5gen iPod does.
