Confirmed to be causing issues for me. I often use my iPod Touch (second gen, OS 4.1) as my secondary alarm after my cell phone. It chose not to ring this morning. :P

Doubt its the Arc. They have Arcs (or something that looks really close to them) attached to some demo laptops at the Microsoft store near here, and they look much more like the old Arc pics than this mystery product.

seriousaznwhy not just have an entire oled slate with touchscreen capabilities? seems much more customizable that way... Thus far it has typically felt less natural to type on a single touchscreen as opposed to physical keys. Smartphones can sometimes get away with it, but try typing on...

Wait they have a MS store in Lone Tree? That's like 3 minutes away. :D

Settlers is indeed an amazing game, though the digital version loses a little of the feel that a physical one has. Wasn't surface advertised as being able to recognize certain physical objects on the table? What if they combined the two somehow (i.e. leave the cards in peoples hands for instance)?

Got it running on my second gen Touch. Can't say it's particularly changed my experience in any meaningful way (as it indeed doesn't get wallpapers/multitasking), but the folders do their job. Actually its most useful feature is that I get to bother my dad because his 1G iPhone didn't get a...

The GIF isn't backwards, if it was the Street View car was driving backwards down the highway (note the other car on the road).

"If you want to have the clock and calculator, simply use your iPhone (sold separately)." It would seem you only get half the package either way you go. :P

Yeah, comparing them side-by-side I definitely prefer the new box art and the special edition box art over the original.

Ouch, I know people with those apps on their phones. It'll be amusing telling them their iPhone has malware on it. ^^

I also strongly prefer having the physical data around. But I will admit I recently purchased several games digitally (both Bioshock and Assassin's Creed when D2D had them for $5, and the Unreal collection thing on Steam when it was dirt cheap). Honestly, those all count as impulse buys. If I'm...

I've also got a touch. I held off on OS 3 because I simply didn't need most of the functions it offered, and the few I cared about (copy/paste mainly) I wasn't about to shell out more money for (my freaking 1-bit Palm had that). I finally bought it a couple days ago because Apple had lowered the...

That was a bizarre promo video...

'bout time.

Just me, but I'm not that comfortable giving Apple my credit card info (I currently avoid iTunes). Although, it would be funny if someplace like Newegg used it, and then I buy a copy of, say, Windows 7 with it.
