QUOTE (TTUAthleticTrainer @ Jan 18 2008, 07:08 AM)  I went into Apple Store yesterday because I had a question about the iPhone update and memory, and the girl who was helping me was all touting how she had ordered one (the upper level model)....and SEVERAL other Apple employees were like, "you're just stupid." LOL How on earth an Apple Store employee can afford one, I don't know unless her mommy and daddy pay for things and the job is just for appearances. I was arguing with her that it's just not worth the money. Apple store employees get hellacious discounts. -------------------- QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Oct 13 2006, 09:51 PM) Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!

Instead of starting a new thread I thought I would just write here that I've been contemplating an iPhone for a while. My only reservation is the possibility that Apple will release one with 3G and GPS at the next expo.
It fits my needs perfectly, good IMAP support (I don't care about Exchange), lightweight, ability to watch a TV show or two without pulling out my computer (and with more and more airlines installing iPod hookups this feature gets more important), etc. The new Apple Airport's ability to sync and backup iPhone data over 802.11n is another selling point as I can have all of my backups in a central location (and backed up again). -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

the 3g version is coming, there's pretty hard proof already. I couldn't cite a source off the top of my head, but a quick search on digg or any of the mac-zealot sites should yield what you desire.
-------------------- WAIT. I'm not finished.

That new feature that they released with the latest update works pretty well. It isnt an EXACT pinpoint, but everytime I've used it for directions and used the pin-pointing as my start it hasn't given me wrong directions. |

really the only thing that has impressed me so far is the iphone...
i wouldn't want such a small thin laptop because of the fear i might snap it in half....ALTHOUGH...i like the direction this is going -------------------- "Ah, y'know it's funny, these people they go to sleep, they think everything's fine, everything's good.

Macbook Air unboxed.....
They made the boxes for MB Air like the iPhone. http://uneasysilence.com/archive/2008/01/12919/ Oh, another downside to MB Air....the battery is not replaceable. Its built in like on iPhone. |

I thought that was already stated earlier? Anyone know if the MB Air is stores yet? I'd like to see one up close. Oh, and as far as 3G for the iPhone, look for it 3Q this year. I've had to replace my battery on my MacBook Pro. Keeping the battery constantly charged is actually bad for laptop batteries. It should cycle. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |
