Macs are generally for the working designers, video editors, photographers (that is their market. Jobs reassured us in 97).. not for people that are just looking for surfing and word publishing (Air).
The only reason I got a MBP was to run FCP. I priced out a Dell Studio 17 to MBP 17 and for the difference in price I can see it in the build quality. I decided to go with the MBP and have not regretted it at all.
Of course I still have my gaming desktop rig running Windows 7 ;)

waiting for the netbooks with nvidia chipset. but as long as it can run starcraft with no hitch, I'm game~

this would be awesome as a jog-dial! but since it's endless rotation I hope it's accurate enough for frame by frame and not frustrating to use. In general, revolutionary designs takes some getting used to anyway.

I think this is actually getting more coverage than the iPhone did lol

Hopefully there will be incentives for current T-mobile subscribers.. that's a huge chunk of the market right there.

If someone tries to jack your tablet, just beat them down with it...

better than nothing! :p
I believe only the fujinon lenses are mechanical..
and any electronically controlled focus/zoom/iris rings are going to be continuous. can't ask too much from a consumer mini cam..

true. but thus far I have not seen any camera in this class to beat a panasonic in those tests. one drawback i see here are expensive MSPD cards (for shooting past an hour) 16gb for $150 (or more) as opposed to an SD 16gb at around $60 or less. But I like how they included a focus (and iris?) ring.

I'd prefer the panasonic just because of the best in class OIS

iphone + gps receiver + widescreen cinema + phone + music + good battery life = ultimate roadtrip/campout device! would be fun if you can install fcp on it..
