Holy crap, I just watched that movie last night. Great reference!
Just because I'm wearing a pink shirt doesn't mean I'm some kind of pink doughnut eater...although it is tempting.
Tobias: Well, I've always wanted to remake Annie Hall. Except, I wouldn't want to get in bed with a GREEN producer like a Sofia Coppola, though. Oh, but give me an old pro like a Robert Redford. Oh, I'd jump into bed with him in a second. And I wouldn't just lie there, Michael Bluth, if that's what you're thinking.

Michael: Actually, that time, that was what I was thinking
If you excuse me, I have to blue myself...
Anyone else notice the iMac G4's in the background of the school of rock clip while it is playing on the new iMac? Kinda cool old mac reference if you ask me.
There has been a lot of talk about NAND based MacBooks. While I don't think we will see them in the next few years because the cost of large capacity SSD, I think the more likely situation will be hybrid hard disk that have a flash and hard disk. This would still keep the costs down while gaining a performance in boot up, battery, and overall performance Apple is looking for.

Going off what #22 said, does anyone know if Apple has specifically said this phone will be locked (handset locked not exclusively sold through) to Cingular? Some phones have not been locked and yet still sold through Cingular with a service contract. An example of this is when the RAZR was first released: I was able to pick up a cingular branded RAZR that was not locked on ebay and was able to put my T-Mobile SIM in it. I know they will only sell the iPhone with a 2 year contract, however if Apple/Cingular never locks the phone anyone could buy it on ebay and use it with any GSM network (T-mobile, europe, ect.)
Sorry, I should have specified that the early termination fee only applies for those still stuck in contracts.
Don't forget all those who want to switch from another company and will have to pay an early termination fee (anywhere from $150 on up) and an activation fee for activating a new account on Cingular.

iPhone...$599
ETF from T-mobile...$200
Activation fee from Cingular...~$35
My cost = ~$835

That's getting pricey!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I need help! I want a small pocket camcorder but I'm not sure which one to get. I don't want to fall into the hype of the Flip because I worry two hours won't be enough. What should I be looking for when considering a small camcorder and where can I get a good quality one with expandable memory? Thanks!"
