    This could make break-ups over the phone not as depressing! Or, even more depressing with some dramatic music.....

    I've shared music during a phone call before, it's called hold the phone up to a speaker. It works pretty well...


    And besides, wouldn't sending the music to a friend as a file constitute piracy?

    @closhedbb: Sort of, yeah, but it's nothing you couldn't already do over email. Plus, they emphasize streaming for music, not just file uploading.

    I see this as a new way for them to fight battery replacers and basically give us the finger. I want longevity, con sarn it!

    And it also indicates that the HDD-based iPods may exist for yet another generation, I suppose, to cater to the high capacity crowd. A unibody iPod "classic" design would be most welcome I'm sure. That chrome-like scratch-prone backplate is one of the glaring design flaws in what is initially very "pretty".

    Keep in mind that Apple patents everything, so this might or might not be a sign of things to come.

    @Hello Mister Walrus: "Keep in mind that Apple patents everything..."


    Apple has several patents on the uniquely-shaped dollop of waffle batter I spilled on my kitchen counter back in 1987; legally I have not been able to clean it up since.

    i thought technology should help one to use less muscles instead of using more?


    i want it to change songs by just staring at it in a certain way.

    @clevin: Apple are hypocrites, is what they are. They sue others for doing what they've been doing since day one, because they are in constant fear of losing the very tiny marketshare they have.


    Steve Jobs is occasionally brilliant, usually ruthless, and always paranoid and delusional. I think Apple could have much better public image and much larger marketshare if not for his incessant dumbfuckery. The day he is gone from Apple, forever, will be the beginning of a great era for them.


    Apple is the epitome of squandered potential.

    I was just thinking that. It must be able to filter out its own output somehow.

    The Blackberry solved the problem ever so easily with the blinking LED. You knew if you had coverage, messages and if your Bluetooth was enabled.

    may I just say I own an iPhone.


    On a side note, to the people who don't own one yet, or who do not have AT&T, why bash the phone, when you no there are rarely any others that are better. We have all read the reviews and seen stories on here how, the phone is either equal to or beats phones that have just come out. So if your gonna hate go hate on a crappy Nokia or something, or better yet; dump your crappy T-mobile plan and get AT&T, Sprint, Verizon either one.


    Unless you have a G1, than I understand. You want T-mobile, but if not chunk the deuce to the T.

    My N95 and most Symbian based Nokia phones already do this. The screen is very dimly lit with a floating bar that shows the time, date and any text/voicemail messages that you have...

    Sounds nice, but seems like this could easily be substituted for a blinking LED in the earpiece, much like other phones have now. It wouldn't need to be specific (and in the case of cutouts, wouldn't be anyway), just be an alert that you have an incoming message.

    @twitzgall: I suppose you're right that it would be a bit vanilla, but unless the info it displays is any more useful than a single blinking light, it'll be kind of stupid.
