when does the palm Pre launch? is it apr/may? maybe this is to keep some people excited for new 3.0 coming in june that would otherwise think about jumping to the pre? i dunno, just guessing..

Definately. This event is simply saying, what the Pre can, we can (should) do better.

maybe having apps running in the background? would the current iphones be able to handle alot of background apps without slowing down badly?

Could be, I mean Sony has done it before with the PSP. The Slim came with extra memory, resulting in some software only working on the new model. Anyway, I'm excited to see what they come up with. If it's good enough I'll gladly pay to update my iPod. Again.

I was about to order a new iPhone this weekend. Maybe I should hold off if they announce new hardware?

wait this week. see what they announce at the event and judge if they'll need new hardware by the release date or not. if they don't appear to have new hardware, then get your iPhone :D

can't wait to see what's new on the 3.0 firmware!

I think we all knew this was coming. Apple seems to have made it a habit of previewing the iPhone OSX in March and then releasing it around WWDC time along with an actual iPhone hardware upgrade. They are really milking the idea that people are willing to upgrade to a newer iPhone every year and re-sign new contracts.

I'm hoping that they take a real Snow Leopard approach to it, you know, reduce drive and memory consumption. If that were the ONLY feature, I'd pay for it.

After a few days my iPhone slows right down, a quick reboot fixes it, but it's still annoying.

+1 on this. Prolly the newer iPhone will come with dual cameras so that video conferencing is possible over 3G, more memory and a better processor. I just bought the 3G two months back, i don't think i can afford a new iphone especially since it costs 700$ in my country

Does anyone even video conference on their phone anymore? I doubt we'll see a front facing camera.

Fortunately Nokia, Motorolla, SE, HTC ect all only release a single phone every few years...

If anything Apple is rather unique in that they do so few updates. No one is forced to update either.

    • Ads in Now Playing notifications on Spotify Android mobile app?

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I got this notification just now in Android: So I went in to disable the "Other" or "Marketing" notifications in Notifications management: But it came through the Now Playing? So if I disable that I no longer get what's Now Playing in Notifications? I'm a paying subscriber, not on the free plan... can they sink any lower?

      Population especially in high density areas creates more heat and more humidity. This can be noticed in an indoor arena or concert room which heats up when the room or arena fills with people, without air conditoning to cool it down, Watering of lawns creates more humidity as the moisture from the watering rises into the atmosphere, creating a more humid condition. The again, depopulating an arena or room after an event will drop the temperature inside. Desert areas are less humid for a number of reasons, including a lower population density. Tel Aviv has horrible weather, unless you like it hot and humid. Summer days are regularly 90+ F with humidity well over 70%. It is probably not as bad as Mississippi but still it is bad enough.

    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I hear you on browser password manager, in my case I have two Google profiles, one was created when Google decided to grandfather us out of Workspace for Domains (with the replacement being too expensive for 25 users) resulting in my domain email address no longer being able to be registered to a new Workspace I created (for myself and another co-owner) so I could use Takeout and sync over some stuff to the new Workspace. Then I have my personal Google profile which I could be logged into on my desktop or Mobile, so I am saving passwords on one or the other, and when an URL changes another password for the same service gets added, it basically ends up being a giant mess. Unless I missed something is there a local decent password manager that can override the browser password managers for Chrome, Edge, Firefox (profiles) so that there is only one vault, and does that also support Passkeys (which to me are still confusing because sometimes it will ask for a Passkey on a phone I am no longer using!) Microsofts implementation of Passkeys is the worst!
    • Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build

      It's utterly baffling that we have no idea when we'll get new features even well after they've been released. Why Microsoft thinks this is a good rollout strategy is beyond me.
