At the AT&T store at Westfield Montgomery in Bethesda, MD, they're offering iPhones for preorder. I paid for an iPhone up-front (there was absolutely no line) and they'll call me when it's in stock, which they said might take up to three weeks.

It seems like they were ordering phones based solely on preorders, so this is similar to ordering online and waiting for Apple to fulfill your order; I'd definitely rather wait a little than wait in line forever like a tool, and now I don't have to keep checking back at the store to see when stock is plentiful.

FYI, at the Apple store in the same mall, there was a line of about 15 people waiting outside the store (with a security guard on-looking). It seemed like they waiting for a chance to buy iPhones when the next shipment came in (this was around 2pm on Saturday the 12th).

Pleease, Google. No soft QWERTY keyboard. In fact, invent something awesome to displace the stupid idea of miniature QWERTY keyboards altogether.

Did anybody mention that they're bundling a free Blu-ray remote and six free Blu-ray movies with that?

CC1.0 users won't get on-demand type programming or other privileges either. I'm not actually saying I believe Comcast's hype or anything, but regular cable subscribers don't get a lot of channels that are only offered via digital cable, and CC1.0 will be a disadvantage in any case; so is it unbelievable that there would be channels only available to CC2.0/comcast box users? I suppose there's the fact that analog cable costs less than digital cable, but I still wouldn't put it past Comcast to screw over people with CC1.0 devices that way.

Might be a great ploy to force people to switch to renting their mediocre boxes.

Aren't all current CableCARDs already gonna be obsolete with the introduction of CableCARD 2.0 later this year?

Costs the same amount to Netflix them. Why buy DVDs in any case when there's Netflix (and similar services)?

Do the U2 editions really deserve their own presence on the chart? I mean you might as well put up all the different colors and sizes too...

I mean, the third option is they could just lay down and admit defeat by Nintendo and stop producing PSPs altogether.

Does anybody know the status of TiVo's partnership with Comcast? Last I heard, TiVo was going to port its software onto the Comcast's Motorola cable/DVR boxes. I've grown pretty accustomed to those Motorola boxes since the $7 a month fee beats $600 plus TiVo subscription, even though the software sucks in comparison; sure would be nice to have TiVo software on there.

The SD to HD channel conversion for Comcast probably varies from area to area the way all the channels do. In my area, there is no simple algorithm - CBS and Fox are 29 and 25 for SD, respectively, and 214 and 213 for HD.
