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.

So we should gladly take a halfass offering because its apple? That sounds like the PPC days of apple.

Wifi connection, does this mean browser capable? IM? id really want this feature

i see this product being able to be used right away, GSM, but i dont see this product released and shipped right away, maybe march?

We have Safari running on iPhone -- it's the first fully-usable browser on a cellphone.

Good guess :D

I have a feeling this phone won't work in Canada right away... but I want one so bad....

I feel your concern man, if/when it is releases in canada, I wonder what network they will use (probably not Bell as this device is GSM . .darn, I may have to switch carriers just for this new ipod)

Really?
Cingular Wireless is the largest wireless company in the United States, with more than 58 million subscribers who use the nation's largest digital voice and data network. Cingular is dedicated to providing customers with wireless technology designed to enrich their lives.
Without a doubt... what will Nokia, Sony, et al do to try and match it?

Nokia is coming with N95 with 5 megapixel this year, all these other phone brands will prolly pump their camera megapixel up and and more memory for music. Still i doubt it will all be innovative as the iPhone.

Cingular is larger than Verizon... :whistle:

Cingular is not even close to Verizon. I don't care what that article says. Verizon, ATT, and Bell are all absolutely enormous compared to Cingular. They are all the result of huge mergers and purchases.
Why, if verizon gets it they will disable half the features.

well maybe because everyone i know uses verizon, and i use my phone very often. since it's free to call them i don't need to spend a ton on money on my calling plan.

Cingular got the boost over Verizon by merging with AT&T. The network is huge, almost everyone I know uses it and I wouldn't use any other.

AT&T IS Cingular now. This happened like a year ago lol.

Same here. Man I wish they'd make a version for Verizon.

So you would gladly allow verizon to disable features which they have done on every phone they sold, just because you don't want to spend a few more dollars?

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
