I suppose, but I don't see that much appeal when you can get literally any station on your iPhone, mostly for free. I'd be shocked if SiriusXM gave it away.

SiriusXM Developing iPhone Streaming Radio App

What if you were a subscriber and SiriusXM gave you access to all of your channels via your iPhone?  Would that be enough to get more people to sign up for SiriusXM?  I'm seeing this as a potential boon for sports broadcasts (although I would love to read the fine print of that contract - I'm sure the sporting associations retained IP rights and granted SiriusXM satellite rights, but we'll see). 

it just annoys me how apple just can't seem to get the Mac Mini right…. it's latest version is just amazingly overpriced and underpowered in comparison to similar Wintel Machines…  the Mini is the machine I've been thinking about getting for awhile but it's just worth paying the Apple premium for one.

Nu-uh.  And Apple product?  Never heard of such a thing.

the real innovation here is that you get BOTH overpriced and underpowered.  usually it's only one or the other :)

It's official - Iphone 3.0 will have copy/paste, MMS support, and my favorite, landscape keyboard in any app that uses the keyboard.

Welcome to Windows Mobile 5.

Tell me (since I didn't make the event), can you take video yet to send with that MMS?

supposedly the slingbox player app should be out shorty too:

Right on cue!

Don't get me started on Windows Mobile.  Yes it does plenty when it's not crashing on you……..

Honestly, I could care less about copy paste and mms….but I am really glad about finally having landscape keyboard…not sure how that got left out.

That actually wasn't included in WinMo 6.1, but xda-developers built an app (called gyrator) that allowed that feature to be available on Win Mo phones because the people asked for it (and there was no process where by it was blocked by the MS).  If only, huh?

If only what?  Say it!!!  I want the whole diatribe again!

Awww, did I piss on your iPhone 3.0 parade?

Hey, I will call a spade a spade and today's event was much a do about nothing.  Let's be honest here: Everything they're adding could have been done with a few simple program additions, but instead they're packaging it up and bringing it out as iPhone 3.0 when we all know it really ain't shit (and even charging the Touch owners!).  But hey, it's Apple and marketing is everything for them.  Some people just mistake marketing for innovation.

A real innovation would have been more RAM to run multiple apps efficiently  or add video capabilities, but instead you got iPhone 2.5 much the way WinMo got 6.5 (and I was not kind to MS there either).

No not at all.  Your loathe the devise much more than I enjoy it.  I just like seeing you get hot under the collar over it. 

It's easy for me to hate big greedy companies like Apple and MS…but then I remember…if it weren't for these evil bastards I'd be framing houses or moving furniture or something like that.

Believe me.  You have yet to see me hot under the collar.

Ok, worked up, agitated whatever you want to call it.  Don't get me wrong though, I agree with most of what you're saying. 

Let's just say I enjoy and admire your passion for technology/gadgetry…god knows I have it too.  I was up til 1:30 last night doing a complete tear down and rebuild of my home theater.  I hate wires this morning.

I'm a little surprised people are talking about tethering being added to the iPhone.  In my eyes that's the best new feature - I can't tell you how valuable that is, especially with a netbook.

I love this photo:



It perfectly illustrates the amazing chutzpah of Apple – they're showing off "Cut, copy, and paste" as if it's a brilliant, cutting edge idea that they just came up with, rather than a concept that's been around since (at least) the 1970s.  And the Apple fantypes actually buy into this kinda stuff.
