I doubt it, Verizon wont change to GSM and they are the largest provider by a HUGE margin in the USA... Verizon dictates the market in this case, not apple, if anything happened verizon would tell apple to make a CDMA phone, not the other way around

Cingular is larger than Verizon... :whistle:

Are you kidding? Cingular is huge. Cingular and T-Mobile are both very big carriers, Cingular might be the biggest here.

uh you really might want to check the numbers, Verizon is magnitueds bigger then Cingular in the provider lists, and not going by a wikipedia article... the actual provider ranking lists..

they have 4.15x more towers across the contry alone per each cingular tower... they basically run the USA cell network... Cingular doesn't even cover 45% of the entire country... Verizon has a 85.6% coverage...

As good as this looks, i wonder how sms messaging is implemented on it. I know the US ain't too fond of sms, but the rest of the world is. Not covered. Also 8GB capacity ... i'm primarily looking to replace my 30GB iPod. I'd love a HDD based version without the Phone parts, but retaining the screen, touch interface and GUI

they shouldnt tout it as a way to play movies and only give you 8 gigs

Only 8GB? Man, that suits me fine! Plus, you have to remember the resolution for movies for it shouldn't be huge, so I don't expect them to be too large of a file size.

Honestly, it's the ability to play full-length movies on the phone that's impressive. Why be greedy right now? It's still early. It's Apple... you know there's going to be upgrades along the way.

Does the iPod has an Apple logo on it's front or in it's menu? No.

I wonder if the regular iPod will get updated to these standards anytime soon. :/

Actually, you're right. It's got to be the only Apple product with no logo clearly visible on the front.

    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      By ShadeOfBlue · Posted

      There is a default resolution setting in Settings > Display that can be changed with a click. You can also change the settings on a per-game basis. No CLI needed. Also, Steam has countless games that are not "[perpetual] alpha/beta games", so no need for the straw man. Plus you can use other stores as well. And console games (e.g. PS5) cost a fortune, which itself more than negates the price subsidy on the system, unless you plan on exclusively playing 1 or 2 games. It's true that you shouldn't buy a system that doesn't support the game(s) you want to play, but I think that's kinda obvious, and applies to every console as well as PC. I don't game in the living room and have no need of a Steam Machine, but there is a clear market segment that would find it useful.

      By Copernic · Posted

RSS Guard currently supports Czech, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian. RSS Guard will never depend on other services - this includes online news aggregators like Feedly, The Old Reader and others. RSS Guard is developed on top of the Qt library and it supports these operating systems: Windows GNU/Linux OS/2 (eComStation) Mac OS X xBSD (possibly) Android (possibly) other platforms supported by Qt The core features of RSS Guard are: support for online feed synchronization via plugins, Tiny Tiny RSS (from RSS Guard 3.0.0). multiplatform, support for all feed formats, simplicity, import/export of feeds to/from OPML 2.0, downloader with own tab and support for up to 6 parallel downloads, message filter with regular expressions, feed metadata fetching including icons, simple Adblock functionality, customized popup notifications, Google-based auto-completion for internal web browser location bar, ability to cleanup internal message database with various options, enhanced feed auto-updating with separate time intervals, multiple data backend support, SQLite (in-memory DBs too), MySQL. is able to specify target database by its name (MySQL backend), “portable” mode support with clever auto-detection, feed categorization, drap-n-drop for feed list, automatic checking for updates, ability to discover existing feeds on websites, full support of podcasts (both RSS & ATOM), ability to backup/restore database or settings, fully-featured recycle bin, printing of messages and any web pages, can be fully controlled via keyboard, feed authentication (Digest-MD5, BASIC, NTLM-2), handles tons of messages & feeds, sweet look & feel, fully adjustable toolbars (changeable buttons and style), ability to check for updates on all platforms + self-updating on Windows, hideable main menu, toolbars and list headers, KFeanza-based default icon theme + ability to create your own icon themes, fully skinnable user interface + ability to create your own skins, “newspaper” view, plenty of skins, support for "feed://" URI scheme, ability to hide list of feeds/categories, open-source development model based on GNU GPL license, version 3, tabbed interface, integrated web browser with adjustable behavior + external browser support, internal web browser mouse gestures support, desktop integration via tray icon, localizations to some languages, Qt library is the only dependency, open-source development model and friendly author waiting for your feedback, no ads, no hidden costs. RSS Guard 5.2.0 changelog: Added: Feed auto-fetch can now also be delayed while Feral GameMode is active on Linux and startup auto-fetch is skipped when GameMode is already active. (#2265) WebEngine builds can now use RSS Guard generated proxy auto-config (PAC) rules so article/web browsing follows per-account and per-feed proxy settings more closely. (#2273) Generated PAC rules now also cover related subdomains and use Public Suffix List data, so feeds such as feeds.bbc.co.uk can also proxy resources from images.bbc.co.uk. (#2273) Standard feeds can now define extra proxy domains, useful when article images, stylesheets or other page resources are loaded from a CDN or another domain that should use the same feed proxy. (#2273) RSS Guard now asks for proxy credentials when a WebEngine page needs proxy authentication and can fill credentials from the current feed proxy when available. (#2273) Network settings again include an option to ignore all cookies, which clears stored cookies and prevents new cookies from being accepted. Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now individually ignore cookies while downloading feed data. Stored cookies can now be deleted from the Tools menu. Custom skin colors can now override the feed list article count color separately from feed titles, including a separate highlighted color. (#2275) Settings dialog can now search across available settings and highlight matching controls. (#1754) Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now optionally be reported as broken when they are valid but contain no articles. (#2039) Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now override the application-wide feed connection timeout per feed. (#1023) Tray icon can now use a custom background color and unread-count text color, with an option to reuse the generated icon as the application icon. (#1973) Support for more benevolent parsing of Gemlog entries (#2295). Article list can now show when an article was received by RSS Guard. (#947) Feed deep discovery now actually scrapes all links found in the website and checks if they are feeds or not. This greatly enhances usability of the deep discovery mode and discovers many more feeds than before. (#2306) Search boxes now show a small dot when the feed or article list is hiding some items because of active filtering. (#873) Articles now have a shortcut-assignable action to open the homepage of the feed they belong to. (#2060) Fixed: Parallel feed updates no longer crash when multiple update results are processed at the same time. (64cf521) Links in WebEngine articles opened from feeds such as Kill the Newsletter now open correctly instead of being swallowed by the embedded page. (#2272) Relative article URLs resolution was kinda broken. (#2282) Clicking article URL did not work when the URL had "fragment" set. (#2293) The default proxy setting now uses Qt/system default proxy behavior instead of forcing no proxy. (e0263ad) WebEngine article loading now keeps the current feed context, so feed-specific proxy credentials remain available while the article page loads.
