So I've got the TW "Price Lock" which includes cancellation fees to get out of.. Do you think this counts as a material breach of contract (on time warners part).. If so those of us under a price lock contract should beable to get out for free... Because life without Heros on my DVR, well thats just hard to imagine!

Damn, Missed the bet on this one.. I have a 32gb SSD 1.8" IDE drive In my tablet I was planning to transition to this.. but if they went 2.5" SATA then thats right out.. Guess I'll have to wait for the 9" EEE and stick it in there..... That is unless this thing will use a 2.5" IDE drive.. then theirs hope :-P.

Does anyone know if this fix's location services or hybrid view on google maps for 1.1.3 Unlocked phones? Or does this do the same thing as the previous Jailbreak/Activation just in a prettier process?

I'll give you two.

* Engineering/IT for refrence material
* School where one device an replace N number of 10 lb. books (where N is the number of classes you are overloading your self with this semester).

My real question is what services are ACTUALLY available via EV-DO.. I have hard email and web, but can't get confirmation on that.. If its just access to the kindle store content + wikipedia then its cool but not amazing..

Those numbers don't add up.. According to some estimates (recently released) apple gets upwards of $400/activated phone over the life of the 2 year contact. last time I checked 250,000 * $400 is $100,000,000.00 in lost revenue; Or atleast lost potenial over the next 2 years.

I would be intrested in seeing where 4.5m comes from.. Because they spend more than that on their superbowl add for the iphone. Are they downplaying the lose or are they amatorizing it over 2 years based on some average number of "unlocked" phones sold per day.. (time to whip out excel).

Ryan,
Submit your work anyways.. even if you don't get a "job" but do get to have some work published its worth the experience.. Not to mention at 17, being published (at all) looks good to collage acceptance boards..

PS: I have no connection what so ever to download squad, its affiliates or its parent company. Just making a suggestion.

I don't think this is as big a "reversal" as the story leads on.. I read this to mean that the API for the Apple Touch Devices (iphone & ipod touch) is still maturing. They are still working out API breaking changes (like adding cut and paste for example). And they aren't tying themselves down to the idea of backwards compatibility.

I would put money on that in 18 ~ 24 months (maybe sooner) Apple developers (specifically their software architects) will rubber stamp an API as stable for publication and shortly after that some kind of official SDK will be released. The definitely wouldn't want to do something like that until they were VERY comfortable with the idea of chaining the weight of backwards compatibility onto their development team!

As both an iPhone user and an iPhone developer have to make a quick comment here. I personally test my App in IE, Firefox, Safari and of course Mobile Safari (the iPhone). Now I have 1 goal, make an App that works on an iPhone. BUT (and I stress BUT) I do not make design decisions that break the app on other platforms. I think that you may find other developers that feel the same way (then again maybe not, I mean iUI is platform specific).

The reason iPhone webapps are so specific to the iphone is because its the Apps Target market. for example my app, https://PassVault,ktomics.net, could easily have all of its forms & screens reformatted for a standard window. But I have tested that experience on an iPhone. Its functional but not pleasant. So because my target market is an iPhone user, I format my site to function in that smaller form factor. does that make it an iPhone webpage? maybe so. Taking this discussion a step further it is not uncommon for a web platform to render different content based on the browser anyways. ASP.NET renders different JavaScript based on the browser, heck even your browser can choose a specific CSS link based on attributes in the tag. What I am getting at is Browser specific formatting is not unique to the iPhone.; and its a far cry better than having to write an entirely separate presentation layer like you do with WML and WAP (mobile) sites!
