Keep in mind that Apple probably realizes that the current 'music' iPod can't evolve into a 'video' iPod without giving up so much that we love with it now. They realize that if they are going to make a true video iPod the ergonomics will have to change. The screen will have to be bigger. The device will have to be bigger. It will have to be heavier (mostly for strong battery).
When they realized that this new video device can't replac the current iPod because of the compromises that it required, they began to rethink the whole device. But when they did this, they also began to think "What else can this little bugger do?".
There have been so many rumors about the added functionality of this device and I believe that Apple has played around with them all, getting rid of many and keeping only a few. They are finally locked down on its new features and are working (or hopefully already done) on the new way to interact with this device. I have little doubt that the interface, once we see it, will be that same old "Why didn't we think of this before" kind of thing. The question I keep asking myself is what the NEW features will be. I don't think it will be just video.
Some new features I would like are: Wireless for Internet access (either WiFi for cellular), clean way for inputting text (for Calendar, e-mail, web surfing, etc.), eBook reading (possible new category for the iTunes Store with both purchase and subscription), and if they can get the device small enough a phone.
I think that Steve gave us hints with this when he said recently that he was as proud of the products that they didn't release as the ones that they have. I think that they had tried to make an upgraded Video iPod to replace the current line but ultimately came to the conclusion that the changes they were trying to make spoiled what we like about it in the first place. It was then decided that this Video iPod was going to be a new category.
So don't worry about loosing the wheel, or the compactness of your iPod. It's not going away. This isn't the device we are talking about.

I think the troubleshooting sections should be spun off to their own pages. That way it can be consolidated down to a single page.

This is a very informed opinion. If you ain't yet, you should become a politician (preferably in the equally tolerant ruling party). They have great use for people with a such deep understanding of things.

Ten Technologies announced a bluetooth-based system that loosely does what you want, although you're not going to be able to get very far from your stereo. And it isn't available yet. :(

I think your biggest problem is going to be *sending* a signal from the iPod, not receiving it.... Unless you're willing to go with an FM transmitter, which I'm assuming you're not, right?

Someone needs to convince a game developer to port the code over as a game disk.
Rather than spend $200 on the HD linux kit you could spend ~$40 on the disk and a memory card, and just pop it in and fold.
That is a great idea.

I have never used this camera, but a few comments read between the lines of the (laughable) specs. The camera is a VuPoint DC-C310-VP
It is not a 6MP Camera. The 6MP figure is an interpolated figure. It's a 3.2 MP CMOS sensor - dirt cheap and noisy. You can also bet the optics are of the lowest quality.
The software included is Windows only. They don't claim Mac compatibility in any form. No optical zoom (ignore any specification that says "digital zoom")
SD Memory card is extra cost. No mention of focus, manual or auto. I'll bet it is a fixed-focus job.
What leads you to believe that $129 is the wholesale price? It is available elsewhere on the 'net retail for $124.99. And check this review and others from Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0002D07BM/103-0245442-5718226
"Not Even Worth $100 !, November 25, 2004
Purchased this camera at Safeway for a hundred bucks. Great interface, nice form-factor, lots of features. Too bad it consistently takes blurred and grainy photos ! Returned this camera and got a refund."
This is an absolute bottom-of-the-barrel camera mass produced in China.
Personally, I wouldn't touch it.
Do some research, MacRumorites. Don't get ripped off. "VuPoint 6 megapixel" in Google is all it takes.
(PS for the nit-pickers: This is being sold by a web seller www.collegeholidays.com who does not provide an address or a telephone number, and who do not charge sales tax. collegeholidays.com say they are in California. Californians, what's the law in California re: a seller in CA selling to CA residents? However the domain is registered to Mary Cohen 1502 Ashberry Dr. Suite 150 Austin TX 78723 US. The one person listed at that address isn't M Cohen and they don't have a suite number, so this is possibly a mail drop address. Oh-oh: Here's a bad sign: the collegeholidays.com domain was created on Nov. 26 2004 -- yes, just 2 weeks ago. Chances of this seller being around 1 week after they have unloaded the last of their 143 cameras? Near nil.)

The symptoms have changed, slightly.
I finally got my hands on a different battery, a fresh one, put it in the computer and the light rings lit up yellow and the computer started charging, so it is, apparently capable of charging a battery as long as it sees it.
But... when it reached full charge, instead of turning green, the light shut off.
I swapped out battery again, and yellow light came on, it charged up, but this time, it stays yellow even when the battery is fully charged.
So... it appears to be something with the AC light ring circuit. Since the computer is controlling that (it behaves the same with different power cords, so it's not the power cord), is the light ring control circuit on the DC-in power jack circuit board? Or is it elsewhere?

I love Infinifolders, have it on all my devices. I have held off on Infinidock because I thought it did not really add more icons to the main dock view, just allowed you to scroll the 6 that were there over so you can have as many as you want, right. Similar to what happens when you double click the home button for fast app switching. I might still go that route, I was just hoping for something that would allow more right on each page.
Nope. You can add up to 10 per page (at least on my iPhone, I wonder if it's more on my iPad). Regardless, it just starts squishing them all together. This is where having Shrink really starts to help.

I'm very exited the new iMacs came out tuesday. I'm wanting to buy the 21,5 inch based model. Unfortunately, I live in Belgium, for those who don't know where that is: it's in the western part of Europe. So I wanted to know when the new iMac possibly can arrive.
I also wanted to know your opinions onto the new iMacs and especially te 21,5 inch based model.
Please let me know.

Aristo, as much as I'd like to pounce on that offer, I feel inclined to suggest you instead set up a SlingBox instead. You surely must have a family member in the states whose TV you can set this up on. The iPad app seems great, but you are confined to viewing on a 10" screen. With a slingbox you can view on your iPad, iPhone, computer and TV. I live in NYC and have a sling box set up at my father's house. I watch HDTV on my 40" Samsung -- On Demand and all that jazz -- for free.
The iPad Optimum is just an auxiliary service I want to set up as an alternative (and on a different TV, with a different cable plan, and in a different county--different programming).

$170 is day light robbery imo
Of course it is for you. You're from London where you can request an iPhone unlocked for free or for a very small price. In the US all iPhones are locked and ATT will not unlock them PERIOD!! So $170 is not robbery when there are no other options for a factory unlocked phone.

Hmm. I'm actually impressed with the fact that Apple is totally ditching the 15" monitor so soon. It seems to me that they should keep a lower end model (one that could sell for under $999) at least until after the holidays- It'd be perfect for a gift- esp. with that Dell all in one piece of garbage on the market. Apple'd sell loads of 'em. Casual users don't really need a bigger monitor and it seems that's who Apple is after with their "switch" commercials.

I still wow about my cube even though I sold it over a month ago. wow it was a cool computer.
My new ibook is great as well, and technically more useful than the cube, but it doesn't really have the wow that the cube had.

...What's the point of a hold button if it isn't physical anyway??
It could be a button such as the locking method on the 1gen shuffle...hold the play/pause button for 5 seconds or so...see the flashing led...locked. (I really don't like that lock method, but it is what it is).
