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.

      Leave Secure Boot off, the Optiplex 7010 isn't getting a firmware update to support the changes...

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft officially confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 with the latest build, 26300.8697, for testing in the experimental Insider channel. The company also published more details about it mainly directed towards IT admins and system admins. Essentially version 26H2 will be delivered via an enablement package (eKB) over Windows 11 25H2. If you are wondering about some of the upcoming features in the next Windows version, one of them is certainly very interesting as Microsoft has confirmed it is finally bringing one of the most overwhelmingly requested features ever. March Rogers, the Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, recently highlighted some of the Search improvements that the company is testing, and during the interaction with users on X where he posted it, Rogers also confirmed that the company is working on disabling web search results inside Search. This is something which many users find quite annoying as Windows would often serve them links to Bing which it feels could be more helpful rather than bringing up the actual object or app the user may be searching for on their PC. Finally though the company is prioritizing local file search over the web. However the feature could not be disabled for many users as not all new features are immediately rolled out to everyone. Image via phantomofearth (X) Windows enthusiast phantomofearth who likes to dig deep into new builds uncovered the IDs you will need to enable these features. Using the following feature IDs the new Search-related features landing in Windows 11 26H2 can be used. Follow the steps below to enable the new Search experience on Windows 11 build 26300.8697: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Press Win + X and select Terminal (Admin). Switch Windows Terminal to the Command Prompt profile with the Ctrl + Shift + 2 shortcut or by clicking the arrow-down button at the top of the window. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id: and press Enter. Restart your computer. If you change your mind and want to restore, repeat the steps above and replace /enable with /disable in the commands on steps 5 and 6. Delightedly and perhaps also expectedly, once you disable web search and other such bloat, the Windows 11 Search is said to get snappier as remarked by another Windows enthusiast Xeno.
