Looks like the "Alamo" cube at Astor Place in NYC: #nvidiaioncubemodcontest

Even though their aesthetics don't match mine, it looks like a stunning piece of engineering to get all that right... #nvidiaioncubemodcontest

Apparently Adobe is holding out Flash for the iPhone in exchange to Apple agreeing not to develop more Applications that hurt Adobe's bottom line (IE more Aperture/Final Cut Pro like products)
Apple likewise is telling them to get bent.
Thus Adobe's claim that Apple is keeping them from being on the iPhone.

"When will Flash Player be available on the iPhone?
Adobe needs full support from Apple beyond what is available through the SDK to enable Web browsing of Flash-based content on the iPhone. While we have been working hard to make the browser plug-in available, without increased co-operation from Apple, it will not be possible. Adobe is therefore focusing our development work on the major smartphone platforms that are working with us to deliver the most innovative and complete web browsing experience. With more than 85 percent of the top 100 websites using Flash and approximately 75% of all videos on the Web using Flash, we still believe that Flash on the iPhone would greatly benefit the millions of joint Apple and Adobe customers."

Just to further emphasize to you two, it would indicate that Apple's SDK isn't open enough for Adobe to implement flash, as I referenced in my previous post.

And just as a note, I've given plenty of information under the table to Mark W and others of the Giz staff.
What's really unrealistic is that you believe companies are looking to better their consumers lives. These companies are looking to make money and if you really think they give a shit about what you do / feel like / wish for, your well out of touch.

I've heard the exact opposite; most people are getting pissed that Apple have seemed to stop supporting Final Cut. Avid is still the industry standard (even Pixar uses Avid), and Premier supports importing raw HD video.

Its well known there have been battles between Adobe and Apple since Final Cut Pro was released, and only continued with iPhoto, then Aperture. The fact that Nigromancer doesn't believe this viewpoint which can be verified in NUMEROUS magazine and online articles as well as inside sources is not withstanding.
I just ignore his posts. They have been mostly irrelevant., both the ones he makes attacking me and others here, as well as his own "insight".

As for industry standard, Avid is no longer. When it comes to editing the movies you watch in theaters, majority of them are on FCP. Apple even won awards for movies such as Curious Case of Benjamin Button and so forth. They also were the first to support RED raw cinema footage and they have been the leader in supporting upcoming video standards.
Either way, there is really little argument that FCP has taken the video market in the least, without even touching base on the audio market it's cannibalized.

However, seeing as how what was discussed at the beginning of this thread was an attributable rumor, I felt it was better to go with something that at least had attribution. It can be debated the bias of the attributed source (clearly, they're biased), but at least they can be analyzed. I wouldn't trust general rumors until they can be substantiated.

They don't support raw R3D footage. They support R3D footage that had been transcoded to ProRes. There is a considerable waiting period between filming and editing, and does not allow color correction afterwards. Premiere allows for native R3D editing, and is still the best editing program for RED cameras.

The RED ONE camera generates QuickTime reference movies that point to 4K (or 2K) full resolution REDCODE™ RAW (.R3D) files. This allows for immediate editing of camera source footage when using the latest version of Final Cut Pro.

The new version of FCP isnt called FCP anymore btw, its now called FCS, because the rolled in motion and soundtrack as part of the application now. The latest version of FCP is FCP7.

HTC, Samsung, Sony, and Motorola have proven that Android can be beautiful, now we just need a larger app store and the right hardware and I'm gone.

Not to mention the fact that you can install third-party apps without their presence in the market. Evernote just released a beta app ([lifehacker.com]), and while it's not in the market, you can install it from the URL on their forums. So, if an app gets pulled from the market, it's still not your last chance to get it. And Market pulls are rare to begin with.
The hardware, though, I'm there with you. My G1 could use a speed boost. Maybe the Verizon Sholes/Tao/Whatever? :-)

On the other hand, I like loading my Digital Copies on my iPhone (part of the reason I'm moving from an 8GB 3G to a 32GB 3GS).
What's the GPS situation like on Android? What about music? Do they have Slacker, Shoutcast, and Rhapsody? Those are biggies for me.
10/05/09
As for GPS, I've never really had much of a problem getting an accurate read, and it follows really well while driving. I've just recently discovered that you can get general locations from the wireless networks without using GPS (they're two separate switches and I'm not sure how I misunderstood them for so long). So it may be possible to use some location-based services without actually wasting battery power on GPS
For the storage thing, I'll admit we're kinda weak on that one. The Sholes/Tao/Whatever that's coming to Verizon will allegedly have 16GB of on-board storage with expansion via a MicroSD slot, but with that (and maybe a couple other exceptions), the storage situation tends to look kinda bleak on Android phones without a MicroSD card.
Anyways, good luck finding the phone for you!
