    no word on the iTunes syncing?

    Up to what point is it "profitable" to keep playing cat and mouse with apple so the latter can break the syncing almost at will?

    @jlarroulet: Well, since the last time we checked in, Palm said it could take all of two hours tops to fix whatever iTunes broke last time. I'd say the wage of a programmer or two for a couple of hours in exchange for another couple weeks of happy customers/publicity would be pretty dang profitable.

    The real question is how long they can keep this up before they get investigated by some regulatory agency. Or sued by Apple. Err. Again.

    I was thinking about upgrading to the Pre using one of the deals that have been posted over the last few days, except they all require a new contract.

    @Mike Zuniga: That was Unexpected: Just like every other susidized phone.

    Unless I'm mis-understanding "new contract". At Best Buy they charge a lower price for a new contract and usually higher if it's a new number added to a family plan (in wihich case, it's still a new contract for that line.

    @esp13: No, what I mean is that Giz has been touting them as if it was a flat fee for the phone on it's own. That's what's pissing me off.

    @Mike Zuniga: That was Unexpected: Sorry for the misunderstanding, but I would imagine anyone reading Giz would already be aware of the regular price of a Pre (or any other smartphone) and find it kinda odd that the phone suddenly dropped so low and not expect a commitment to be involved.

    Cool, maybe we can hit 10.7 by the end of the year and 10.8 by early February. I'm getting tired of all this dead time between OS updates.

    Does this update fix the lack of blu-ray? Kinda hilarious that an os for 'creative professionals' doesn't even play the latest HD media :{)

    @mullingitover: Although I agree that Apple should add Blu-support to their OS....Blu-Ray hasn't taken off to its fullest potential yet.

    With the release of cheaper up-converting 1080p DVD players, and the ((still)) high prices of Blu-Ray movies, the public as a whole doesn't see the reason to take the plunge.

    Now that it seems half-relevant, has anyone had a problem in Snow Leopard with the hotkeys F9-F12 not doing anything? Since I upgraded, they work sometimes, and then don't. When I reboot, they seem to work again for awhile. I checked the menu and they're not conflicted with anything, and yet I keep getting no response from them...but not always. I wondered if this is a bug.
