After I synched up my Yahoo account with Synergy, I keep getting occasional alerts on the phone to re-enter my Yahoo password for no apparent reason. I entered my password after seeing the alert, but nothing happened. I saw the alert again a couple hours later and ignored it, and my phone still seemed to work fine...

I'm not sure if anyone's mentioned this, but could you guys bring back the "extra small" format (approx 300 MB) m4v file, too? It was a nice quick download, and worked flawlessly on my PSP! Anywho, loved the show! :D

As exciting as this sounds, remember how excited we all were over KDDI Mobile launching in the US! I thought that it would basically be like Helio w/ Japanese phones rather than Korean phones, but nope. It was just a bunch of Sanyo Katanas w/ Japanese firmware.

I hope that whenever the MVNO launches here, DoCoMo friggin BRINGS IT with the J phones. So far, phones from Japanese manufacturers in the US (i.e. Casio, Sanyo, Kyocera, etc; the more recent Sharp-manufactured Sidekicks being the only exception) have been pretty lackluster. *knocks on wood w/ crossed fingers*

Methinks so, too... I'm guessing that the Leica version will cost 123456x more than the Lumix, but I'm sure the body will look 123456x cooler. ;-P I soooo cannot wait for the GF1. I wonder if it'll be rebranded as the D-Lux 5 or maybe Digilux 4?

That actually doesn't look half bad! :) If the camera was a little nicer, I think that the unlocked price is totally worth it!

I seem to have trouble replying to your post...
Trance duo Blank & Jones named the Hercules DJ Control RMX as their Top Gadget of 2008 (you can find it in their mini interview in the DJ Mag Top 100 2008 results; they're #61)... I'd recommend just forking out the extra fifty or so bones for that rather than the Steel if you decide to go the laptop route. :)

Either that, or wait til September the 17th to see whatever it is that Pioneer seems to be teasing...

Are you sure that Pioneer will be releasing the CDJ-1000 mk4 that day? Those "Dawn of a new species" viral videos that Pioneer are posting almost seem to describe something that sounds not unlike the device in this article...

It's too bad that Sony Ericsson never made a Daft Punk phone for the western market (DP endorsed S.E's "Premini" handset in Japan back in 2004).

Wait, so what'll happen if we have AT&T's $15 data plan on a dumbphone, pop out the sim, buy the Surge at full price (completely ignoring rebates, etc), and pop the sim into that? Will we be able to access the $15 dollar data, or will AT&T charge us per kb?
