A well thought out comment. Most of the delays are at the consumer and server end. Not the middle. The extra distance you describe, 100miles to 600miles, would be principally traversed through the fibre network backbone of the internet. Light travels through fibre, light travels fast. 500 miles would take light 0.00267 seconds each way, roughly an added 0.005 seconds of latency. Are you a Hummingbird?

This is the future, the cloud is the future, the infrastructure will upgrade to the demands of the consumer and the market.
Do you think an unregulated advertising medium where people can say what they want regardless of fact would be better? By keeping those misleading advertisers like apple in check in helps guarantee standards and reliability in the adverts we see. The majority of companies have no trouble keeping to this and it is very rare that an advert is upheld to be misleading.

If apple want to show off how fast and usable their product is you can't excuse them by saying "but it would take ages to show that", because thats the point. The ads are misleading and that is not tolerated. I hope their exposure hasn't duped too many people into committing to a product for 18 months that is not as advertised. You wouldn't accept a flashy Ferrari if it performed like a Lada. I hope the world starts to see through apple and the hollow company it is.
You certainly didn't write that on your iPhone
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I own an iPhone 3G and I'm looking for a decent speaker / alarm clock for it. I am going to listen music in a mid-sized room, so I want nice quality speakers with solid bass. I also want to use it as an alarm clock, so it would be great if there is such a feature. The price can be low-mid to mid-high range. I was looking at the Klipsch iGroove SXT; it's powerful, slick and the reviews are good, but it doesn't have an alarm clock feature. It's no deal breaker if I can set it up from the iPhone, but I'm not sure. Thanks!"
