.......................the O2 "joggler"?

Apple court PR and attention like no other company with regards to their products, its a natural and perhaps fitting response that what they put out should thus be subject to that same level of focus & attention;

if you live by the sword, you die by it

I agree with AlexP..... surely you haven't forgotten poor Mr. Pogue?

....you beat me to it.

Can anyone confirm this though?

I realise that engadget is primarily a site about gadgets, but coming across this a few days ago but not being able to try it out for myself I'd like to ask what people think of this:- (particularly if you feel you are a developer and could help out)

**For anyone with an iphone or who may gave early access to one of the new ipods
how viable an alternative to itunes is this for use with your ipod?**(may require 3rd party plugin on site)

- it may not be compatible right off the bat but has add-on support which is one of the things that really makes winamp great (I believe some of the creators of winamp built it).

from my understanding of Songbird, its seems like it has the potential to be to itunes what firefox is to IE.

what does anyone else think....?

[apologies for going marginally off topic but I thought that this could be something that could interest a lot of people]

.....and thus is the true reason why native apps are not allowed

[...apple "probably" offers more codec support,] - huh?

apparently it does support avi & divx but I am unsure as exactly how it deals with pics. alternate info link:-

the cynic in me believes that whatever price reductions and potential profit reductions that occur for the US market, will be rapidly made up for in the prices for their European products...... (sigh)

Lol, I noticed that the post was edited to include "(and Samsung's own F700)" as it differs from the original post I got in the RSS feed.

"Honestly, we're getting a bit tired of all these so-called iPhone rival handsets, but Samsung's elusive Croix doesn't do a whole lot to shake the stereotype. The mobile, which happens to boast a very similar layout to Apple's darling, just won an iF Communication Design Award 2007, and while details are scant about the actual hardware, it sounds like Sammy is hoping to grab your attention with a sensationally sleek interface (seen in detail after the break). The name, which translates to "Cross" in French, supposedly symbolizes the phone's "progressive continuum, as opposed to discrete transmission from one item to another," and touts an "intuitive interface through on-screen touch input mapping which supports five different ways of interaction." Of course, only time will tell if this thing actually goes commercial (or proves real, to be honest), but it certainly has the look.
