Or did you mean in Laptops? That's a little way to go yet. But we're getting there 🙂
Why would they want your old phone?! 🙄
The idea is you can use your old phone with the PAYG, i.e. give it to your parents, girlfriend, boyfriend, lover, dog, ...

I'll take an old unlocked iPhone please. 🙂
I bet Steve's dog or cat - whichever he prefers - has an iPhone 😀 I'd give my cat an iPhone too, if it was ball-shaped so she could play with it. Too bad they don't come in gold. That's her favorite color.

Good advice - but it would seem to me that entry #101 is in fact the 100th comment. The original post is #1.

Have 4 cores isn't natural. You only have 2 butt cheeks, 2 boobs, 2 legs, 2 arms, 2 brain hemispheres, 2 balls or 2 ovaries. It just ain't natural. If GOD wanted Macs to have 4 cores she would have given us 4 of everything!

Aha, is the first post considered a comment or a post? It is a comment, technically... Would everything following the initial post/comment though then not be a reply?
Ah, semantics are fun. 😀 😎

Oh yesssssssssssssss! It was on my pre Christmas agenda, after a WMB with Nehalem, but a QUAD CORE?????? Puts it top of my list. Sweet Mother of pearl, break out the Discover card!😀😀😀😀

Well technically you are a quadra-ped because you have four limbs. Most things in nature are powers of 2. Either 2,4,8,16,etc. So it is only natural that after dual core the mac would eventually become a quad-core, octo-core, etc.
Well that may be... but what am I going to do with 4 balls? I have enough trouble now trying to keep my brass ones in their place. ;-)

Similar to how many people talk about Revision A of a product line; it's not a revision if it's the first version.

Based on the $1000+ price of the CPU, more like $3499.
Nope, these are straight Penryns like we have now.

So it looks like the Quad Core might be a BTO unless Apple and Intel are feeling generous.

I'm quite confident in saying that if it is an option, it will only be offered as a BTO option, be it MBP or iMac.
New iMac Immanent....
Just had a look at the Apple Store site and found that the top-end iMac in the UK is showing a 3 day lead time.... low inventory+new CPU = QUAD CORE iMAC RELEASE?????
Here's a screenshot to prove my point.
The posts previously regarding heat emission would support the notion that QUAD CORE would most suit the iMac, until further advances are made to allow a MBP to sensibly use it.

The UK was low on Mac Minis a few months back, yet Apple hasn't released new models...
Can someone in the know make it clear whether this means that there will be a quad MBP released (even if its just a 17" upgrade or whatever) in August/September or if there is a long wait after the processor is released so sometime in 2009, or even late 2008?
My uni course starts very early in September so I'll need a laptop for then, and it'll be nice to know what to expect and when!
