I think its gonna be pretty expensive. think about it. The 8GB nano is around ?180. So it will be more than that. add to that, its also a phone with a 2MP camera and a touchscreen. I've got a feeling around ?250 or maybe even ?300+.

Sorry, didn't mean to be rude.

Most comapnies, especially technology and hardware companies, brand everything they make with a logo. Apple brands everything they make. Even the little USB ends on their mice have an Apple logo. I have pens a remote and all kinds of stuff at work with an Apple logo. So, it's weird that their most popular and mainstream product doesn't actually have an Apple logo on it, or at least, on the front where it's clearly visible. You'd think, for the elite few who don't know who makes iPod, that Apple would want them to know, at first glance, who made it.

From a marketing perspective it's very strange.

I think apple takes a different perspective, rather than branding the BRAND image, they brand the product, obviously you dont see an apple icon on the front of all their products, but when you see and Apple product you know its apple, you look at an ipod and you automatically recognize its an ipod (by apple) same goes with imac and all others, plus, they made "white products" and i-products theirs already.

Only when it works.... But when it doesn't.... Hold down your breath, man. TERRIBLE support!

I noticed on your sig that you have the 2.16 MBP C2D. I have the exact same one with 2gb ram and such. I haven't had any problems yet. Mine is about 5 weeks old now.

They said somewhere earlier that it was 11mm. The RAZR is 16mm I believe.

Edit: No, you're right. I looked back and it definitely says 11/16s which is more than 11mm. That's 17.5 mm so it's still about the same as a RAZR, and extrememly small for a smart phone.

Apparently, one of the rumours about the iPhone was that it would be unlocked by default to work on any network.

I'm impressed with Apple, the interface looks great and the product is sleek.

Radish?

If that's true, then I'm sorry, but it's bad.

The Zune cost me ?150

The Archos 604 WiFi costs ?250, and what it lacks in features and style it makes up for in capacity. But thatt can do internet and email!

    • I hope this encodes in to AV1 or AV2 as currently tiktok uses h265 and h264.
    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance by Karthik Mudaliar Qualcomm is reportedly in advanced discussions to provide custom chip-design services to Chinese tech giant ByteDance, the same company behind TikTok. According to a report from Reuters, Qualcomm could be involved in designing custom silicon tailored for ByteDance's massive data-center workloads. If it goes through, the deal would make ByteDance one of Qualcomm's early anchor customers for its fastly growing custom chip-design division, For years, Qualcomm was the king of making smartphone processors and modems. The company has also been moving into the PC ecosystem and other formats such as on-device AI for Android XR headsets. However, this particular deal is about Qualcomm's custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). For a platform like TikTok, ByteDance needs hardware that can help it ingest, process, and serve billions of short-form videos daily. Generalised hardware is no longer the most cost-effective and efficient route, which is why ByteDance is trying to develop custom Video Processing Units (VPUs). VPUs designed specifically for ByteDance’s algorithmic needs could drastically reduce data-center power consumption and improve encoding speeds at an unprecedented scale. The underlying tech behind these processors is actually from Qualcomm's recent acquisition of AlphaWave Semi, a high-speed connectivity specialist company. By combining AlphaWave’s high-bandwidth IP with Qualcomm’s architectural expertise, the company could begin mass production by the end of 2026, if the talks go through. All this also comes at a time when U.S.-China tech relations have dwindled. Escalating trade frictions between Washington and Beijing have severely impacted the export of high-end AI chips from U.S. firms like Nvidia, AMD, and Lam Research. Yet, the Qualcomm-ByteDance discussions show that U.S. tech companies are still actively seeking growth avenues and are open to doing business with China, where regulators still permit. Reuters notes that the outcome of this deal could be uncertain, and ByteDance might also seek partners other than Qualcomm. via Reuters | Image via DepositPhotos.com
