The E71 I have seen with many different breeds of people. From mothers to teens, italian cool boys to the ragga with the puffa jacket! I expect to see the iPhone everywhere, I see BlackBerrys in all forms everywhere, I didn't expect to see the E71 penetrate the social market in such a way.

I own the E71 and 5800, I rarely use the 5800 because the phone is that good!

LOL

Nokia to implement non-standby auto-keylock on a global level with appropriate preferences that interact with the device's sensors, iow accelorometer, proximity sensor and so on. Been waiting since the first cam smart 7650!

Apple to introduce XCV without compromising scroll immediacy by (/not) introducing multi-gesture (x fingers touching screen) ambiguity.

WinMo to either give up or release a new tighter Xbox NAS mentality allowing any low end device to have playlist (read: functionlist) modes for the device.

Palm to introduce non-recursive date to todo and todo to date item transitions with history (hence non-recursive just logged)

Google to release Google OS or GooOS, pseudo-recursively refferred to as Google Goose... to cement Chrome as the Cloud OS and Goose as the 'Ground' OS! OR MORE REALISTICALLY, a paid for client for gmail for any email account, kinda like virtual IMAP4 plus tags!

BlackBerry to stop camel casing. To not make the SonyEricsson (

It's pretty. Has a technological feat (until we're given explanation) that no one else has done. A truly unique form-factor at the expense of a large screen and HENCE a small phone, PHONE I say! Selling as a luxury item that in time should come down in price... (let's just hope Moto learn from the debacle that was the RAZR over-sell) Does Moto deserve any success after what they did to all of us? Well perhaps that's where all the resentment comes from

Engadgets letter was so near universally accepted by its readers that if they (Palm) did not listen it would have been a foolish move…

Palm were still thinking they were the big boys from 2002/3 where their ecosystem was marvellous, back then I wanted to get a Psion series 7 precisely because my thin Laptop was actually a pain to carry around.

Here in 2007(/8) where Palm support has dwindled (you can always tell how healthy a market is by the number of small user developed unique free fun applications there are) to the point where the Foleo would not have garnered the trust because as we all knew the ecosystem is too weak to support a useless Palm(PDA/Treo) with a device that still has a future in 2009/10 when and if Palm get their act together.

I am using a Tungsten because I know I wont get a decent Palm until 2009 (standalone) and then I can buy a Tx, yes I am actually slowing my technological attachment because I know I would end up having a device for x+ more years than I want! That is what Palm has done to me!

I truly do commend Palm for listening; there is a chance that they can get into a healthy 25% of the market (read: healthy, I read in engadget comments that it was 22%) where people are fanatical about Palm… But what can they offer us?

I always thought that a Nokia lipstick (7280 or 7380) with a 3G modem or HSDPA would be perfect complement to a Tungsten (slide) style device, but no, Palm on its own and its stupidity with Access/Source division.

And people making comparisons with the Wii and Foleo. The Wii offered a new input method on a mass market scale. The Foleo offered nothing new in it’s conceptualisation, perhaps execution, but thankfully we will not find out.

Bile...

Orange and Vodafone offer such non-competitive Data Rates or Bundles that VoIP would actually be more expensive!

So in fact what they do is hide this by saying they want to protect voice revenues when actually they don't want the furore of either a massive customer services call driver or huge refunds as customers realise the Data Rates are extortionate. PS:- This hides the fact they are so sucky!!!

The patent issue in controller technology is like a politco-economical discussion about the console wars...

This hurts me to say it but follow what I say in terms of what was...!?!

MS=Sega... Controller beautiful but know that I can design a better control system for GSR ;)

PS3, weirdly the old boys playing the scale of economies game... mass adoption... this is a shadow of the Amiga ST "war" in that as HW gains yeilded by Sony profit ports of 360 games to be first developed for Sony and then graphical expression keeps in pace with game mechanics. Sonies absolute beleif in what is common and belonging to the public domain, so they copy Nintendo. Linux anybody...

Wii iremember how it was weird in that everysingle house I ever went into that had a PS had dualshocks, games with input devices will become common place, a £5 mass produced pheripheral can be reliable enough(?)

In two years I have a choice, spend 1000 on a new decent PC or 900 on all console systems?

Padriac...
You take the distinction between the common PC term "plug & play" as defined structurally within the domain of wireless. I see your point, in that your are striving for utter simplicity and that it is an ironic throwback to the Macs heritage of single button madness. On the other hand if as I think from your responses you don't understand that these are two separate technological constructs.

You have a mouse thats probably a little more expensive than something you can by on discount, but looks quite sexy and has a roll ball that is truly useful.

BTW would you not then say that by your definition, any form of extra interaction (CD into Mac (external)or Batteries (internal)), the M2-2 (silly name I know) requires a 'power driver' (interaction not with a Mac but the real world) would mean that not until they have power beamed over RF from the Mac itself will the Mac ever get a truly Wireless mouse.

This is taking your logic assumption to its other end. Logic generally dictates that at some point practicality and human needs be considered otherwise it becomes abstract logic. Yours I think is just bi-polar twisted logic :)

To those that cite that we must teach our children the harsh relaities of the world belie the point that social global change is needed in order to live in this thing we call a mudball. Let them have unrealistic expectation that the world is not just a big game of war chess.

The 'corporate america' entertainment fallacy (and please before anybody jumps up, I have an MP3 player and yes I recognise my 'fun'needs and my inherent hypocrisy) doesnt even allow for a moment to realise the waste, but at the same time techology can be good.

By definition you cannot get a formal busienss letter from a child and as such the response should have contained all it did but then on top of that personal words to this very young customer. If it is an auto-reponse it shows that Apple has reached a critical mass in terms of its internal structure, if it was a human response then unfortunately it shows the inability of what made Apple the company it is by being able to 'interface' with with humans.

The slow news day it is not, for the above reasons, it shows a story like this coming from the Apple camp should really have been a Microsoft story from the mid-nineties. IBM, MS and now Apple. (Although #2 has always been #2, hint: Intel;)

:( for my heart at a Company that I have respect for.

Of all the 'keyboard' devices, this has the best weight AND balance distribution.. And I have played with every single 'keboard' device, it is by no means perfect.

Beauty is subjective, processing power is not.

Vibra is vvvvvv.annoying but the Jabra vibrating earpiece compensates a bit... and as for the backlight, (not my justification) but if your not in lighted environment then you should probably not be working, however, simple solution that I found was to tilt the screen further forwards and the light is enough to see, for that quick note/text/email.

Im a Londoner, I absoluetly love the GTA series and for the developers to be Scots/(kinda)British a London game is just a 'flat cap' nod to us, thank hell that it would be commercially viable!

PS:- Vice city did of course reference drugs but IMHO was relating to the sex industry at the time.
