    It would be surprising to have a camera without video, and video implies a microphone. VoIP anyone?

    And damn, just as I've apparently convinced myself to get the Touch, rumors of next one come. Time to stuff that money back into the bank.

    It's also going to have pictures of Jobs' genitals. Just a little FYI to help with your buying decision.

    @FamiCube64: Plus even the cliq was outdated when it was released and this is pretty much the same.

    Its too bad really. I love the innovative design on this and really want to see a high end version.

    The next moto droid from verizon is going to be equally lackluster sadly.

    In reply to DigiTimes Claims Apple Tablet Delayed for OLED Upgrade
    Haven't people figured out yet that this whole "apple tablet" rumor mill is just a ploy on Apple's part to keep Microsoft busy and distracted while Apple finishes up some other top secret project?

    Wake me up when they're announced with Pixel Qi screens. I want sunlight readability and ridiculous battery life! Is that so much to ask?

    @unique172: If you look really deep into my posts, you see me predict them using Qi screens months ago. It'd really be the smartest move, I think. The screen would cost THEM $500, accounting for THIRTY PERCENT of the costs? If they are going to project a cost anywhere close to that, it'd BETTER be running a full version of OS X. Otherwise, anything at $500+ is simply overpriced for a giant iPod Touch.

    @ovil200: I remember someone (you?) saying that, but haven't heard any real news. I agree about the price. I doubt anyone will buy a $1000+ version of the touch, even if it IS shiny.

    @unique172: What the heck is that $1000 price tag. Sorry it's just not practical in this time of recession. I'll do my ebook reading and iTunes music with my cheap 10.1 inch Asus 1005HA. It does the same stuff plus more.

    @rjbuddyboi: Nobody knows the price; I was saying that I doubt anyone would pay that much. But judging by the non-contract price of the iPhone, I doubt the tablet will be cheap. I'd be very surprised if it was less than $500-600. I have a netbook too, but if it came with a reflective, low-power sunlight readable display I'd be very tempted. Hell, if any real device (that allowed internet access, keyboard input, etc) came with that display, I'd probably drop some $$.

    In reply to DigiTimes Claims Apple Tablet Delayed for OLED Upgrade
    Who cares about reasons for a supposed delay - it could be due to a global shortage of pixie dust for all it matters since we are spreading rumors of rumors about a rumored device that is rumored to be available some rumored day. Come on - tell us the sucker is fission powered and they have to get approval from the nuclear regulatory body before Miley Cyrus will write the start-up song and Buddha waves an arm and it sits in every humans lap of life.

    [sigh]

    In reply to Remainders - Stuff We Didn't Post (and Why)
    Actually, I've been wanting that Android indicator for a while. Being constantly on for chat is convenient sometimes, but some of my more chatty friends get difficult to keep up with when I'm on my phone.

    I just tried out this Labs feature (which apparently has to be turned on for the person viewing the chat list), and unfortunately, being logged into a desktop client doesn't override the Android icon. Still, it's kinda nice.

    On the deranged paranoia front: what the heck? Websites can easily tell what browser/client you're viewing something from. Why is this so scary? I get that the "Google creep" is coming from the TechCrunch article (that's two idiotic things to come from that site today) and not Gizmodo, but still. You could not honestly be freaked out by this specifically unless you were already looking for it.

    In reply to Screw the Voice Plan: The Rumored Google Phone May Be Data/Voip Only
    I think we will be seeing something significant from Google in the voice recognition field in about 3 to 5 years. The reason for all of these voice related techs (Google Voice, VOIP, etc.) is that they are collecting data on what voice sounds like by a LOT of different people. Car, Kaaa, Cawr, etc. They'll be able to do something special with all of that data once they've analyzed it.

    In reply to Screw the Voice Plan: The Rumored Google Phone May Be Data/Voip Only
    How much does VOIP take in bandwidth usage? Perhaps as little as 20kbit/s. So for 1GB of data per month, you could have 111 hours of VOIP conversations on Google Voice. People don't talk that much on the phone, so Google could most definitely provide up to something like 50 hours of free Google Voice usage with a 100-dollar basic Android phone, and no contracts needed.

    So... You use their search engine, you (potentially) could use their OS, and surf the web on their browser. To get a phone you submit to a credit check, so they then get you're vital economic info. While using their phone they can track your location real-time. Drop it all into one big information vat, and...

    ...Ohhh boy...
