    Thats the problem with all this $99 phone stuff, you're locked in contract.

    I'd actually like to see a wider switch to how t-mobile is doing it and make it no contract pricing. #998gbiphone3gs

    If Apple could only say "Fuck AT&T" and release the iPhone (for the same price) factory unlocked, and to work with additional frequencies, the world would be a happier place.

    But I know that will never happen :[ #998gbiphone3gs

    Uhhhhhh fitting the N64 controller onto the iPhone sounds like a sick, sick joke to me.

    Just because something can be done doesn't mean it should be done. #n64iphoneemulator

    Lots of machines have the power and still fail at emulation, I'm not expecting this one to go any better.

    Also, the controls, how? movement, z button, a, b, l, and r, and 4 c buttons. #n64iphoneemulator

    I remember in 1996 the dicussion of whether or not a PC was capable of handling N64 emulation. Ridiculous discussions of 32 to 64 bit being impossible and debates as to whether a PC had capable graphics ran rampant. A few months later, UltraHLE arrived and shocked the hell out of everyone.

    I agree that it is technically possible to emulate an N64 game on the iPhone and the control scheme might be the biggest hurdle. Where are all these game controllers we were promised in the Touch 3.0 software update? Zeemote maybe? #n64iphoneemulator

    Pilotwings 64 was a kick-ass game, and you hardly need any buttons at all to play it. Hell, it would probably be better and more challenging if the accelerometer were required for flight control. #n64iphoneemulator

    While I have played both Genesis and Snes emulators on the G1 (which has the advantage of a keyboard) the number of buttons on the N64 controller means any on screen controller is going to need far to much screen real estate to make this work well. #n64iphoneemulator

    In reply to This Is a Next-Generation iPhone 4 Part, China Ontrade Claims
    The question is could Apple come out with an update to the iphone just 6 months after the 3GS? I think so, for 3 reasons.

    1. To me the 3GS was really more a speed bump than a real next generation update. So this would be an update to the 3G from 1.5 years back.

    2. This could be the iphone being released to Verizon

    3. At the pace Android phones are being released and the progress of the OS, in another 6 months the 3GS will feel and may actually be dated. #iphone2010

    @Serpentor reads Gizmodo: people will *freak* *out* if they bought a "new" iphone only this summer and another "new" one comes out at christmas. it'll be the $600 to $400 price drop all over again. I don't think there's any way apple's doing this. #iphone2010

    Isn't being a pro iPhone photographer kinda like being a pro VHS camera videographer? Sure you can repair a car with fixit tools but if you are a pro shouldn't you want pro level tools to do the work even better? I don't understand him I guess. #digitalcameras

    So, the secrets of pro iPhone photographers are...the secrets of photography?

    Seriously guys. There's taking fantastic pictures with iPhones....and there's claiming that the iPhone is the inspiration behind basic principles of good photography.

    I suppose next you'll claim that color didn't exist before the iPhone. #digitalcameras

    As an amateur photographer, I fully believe that high contrast and subtle vignetting makes almost any photo look amazing. #digitalcameras

    I assume some/many of these photos were taken using some kind of stabilising stand? At least the iPhone 3G appears to make very fuzzy photos when hand-held, especially in rather dark conditions. #digitalcameras

    @Coolmodo: I hate to compare myself to a surgeon, but professional photographers do generally have steady hands. There are also a couple of programs that use the accelerometer to take the picture when you're not moving much. These pictures are alright, but mostly seem to depend on preset filter effects...they're not really all that interesting. #digitalcameras

    And this is why I wanted an ipod touch with a camera. With tons of photo applications on the app store the ipod could take the place of film lomography cameras.

    And I loves me some lomography #digitalcameras
