Where do find this agreement about Cingular not being able to market a competing MP3 phone? They already market the Sony Ericsson S710
See: http://onlinestorez.cingular.com/cell-phone-service/cell-phones/phonedetails.jsp?id=cdsku9870029
Among the phone's features (and this is from the Cingular website):
"MP3 Player (32MB Sony Memory Stick Duo(TM), Card Adapter, Memory Stick Reader and Stereo Headset Included)"
Not a great MP3 player, perhaps, but it works.
Cingular also markets the Audiovox SMT 5600 Smartphone, with "Windows Media® Player 10 for playing music and video." Again, this is from Cingular's website.
Sounds like marketing to me! There are one or two other examples, but you see my point (I hope).
I just re-watched on of the Apple Keynotes/Special Events, whatever it was when the released the iPod Photo. Steve Jobs said he didn't really believe the the iPod wannabes, they just didn't work. They were too big to fit in your pocket, yet too small to really enjoy watching a movie on. So why would Apple come out with one, they just don't make that much sense.

During the iPod photo launch he stated that video didn't make sense because of lack of content. Everyone had photo's and no need to worry about copyright infringments. This implies that when video content would be available, a video Pod will make sense.....
A vpod may will have a larger screen, a la PSP. Who knows? It doesn't necessarily have to have the same size as just the audio player. They may not sell as many of those, but by launching it, it would have the same effect as Apple created with the launch of the nano. Instant marketshare ownership and hard for others to break into (that market). It's all about marketshare. Apple learned from the 80's in that respect.
buy
yesterday I wanted to buy an ibook. The seller told me that mac's aren't good anough. For the same price I would find better pcs. I specify that he sells macs and pcs, so he gains the same money by selling pcs or macs!! Why do they tell me always to buy a pc instead of a mac?

Actually stores probably make more $ off Macs since they have a bigger profit margin. Most store clerks don't know anything about Macs thus they push what the know.

They have a bigger profit margin than PCs? Are you serious? I didn't know that at all. I would think that it's the other way around, since PC components are cheap.
Dealing with the guy, there could be several issues, but Macs are better than PCs. I'm not just saying that because I'm obsessed with Apple, I'm saying it because I used to use PCs and still do. You just have a different feel when using a Mac, the aesthetic beauty of it and the simplicity. I mean, PCs cannot beat that.

It's not on their online edition, and this looks like a tabloid to me.
Someone from these forums probably sent it to them.

Looks just like it came out of the National Enquirer or Star. The next page probably talks about the alien baby found left in plastic grovery bag at a local Denny's Restaurant at 2 a.m. just outside of Paducah last Thursday. It was found by a homeless, relocated New Orleans resident along with a simultaneously discarded winning Powerball ticket. Now the very wealthy Paducah resident is adopting the alien and living a full and happy life.applemax said:
Edit: Note how the REALLY BIZARRE story made the front page.
Mr Maui said:
lol. Close. The next page is a full length feature of the new Wallace and Gromit movie with a competition to win a meal of Cheese and Crackers with creator, Nick Park.
What's more believable: iPod video or Cheese and crackers with a film producer. In this case, probably the latter. 
true dat. if you look here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/21727901@N00/50751766/ , you'll see that right to the left of the M in Movies, the screen doesnt line up. It's a good edit job though...I wouldnt be surprised if apple is leaking this stuff to throw us all off.

Good job on covering yourself on the Apple logo!
At least all this speculation is bringing the creativity out in some people
Also, if you look at that screen, it just looks like a piece of thin printed plastic, there is no gap between the casing and where the screen would be. Look at the colour screened iPod alongside it to see what I mean, (thin black outline), or here as another example. That screen looks too perfect, (printed), and too close to the outer casing.thejadedmonkey said:
