It is too! Downloading now.....
Downloaded. Nice new Podcasting icon below Library.... I'll have a play in a sec.
So that cuts 4.9 being a subject of the special media event. I think its looking more and more like new iPods. Which makes more and more sense when I think about it. Apple have never done (well in my Apple experience - all of 9 months) such an event for a computer hardware launch, and with the Intels out next year they're not going to do it for an PPC based product now IMO.
Has to be new iPods. And I've got the money waiting Steve..... its just a shame my nice new PB will be in a workshop getting a new logic board thanks to a recently deceased lower memory slot![]()
micvog said:Yes, because usually the phone is subsidized by the provider and is locked to their network. Another issue is that there is not a standard network. While Cingular and T-Mobile use GSM, and Verizon and Sprint use CDMA, they don't operate on the same frequencies (although Cingular and T-Mobile overlap).
So, for example, while it is possible to get a T-Mobile Sony Ericcson T630, have it "un-locked" by a third party, it will be crippled on Cingular's network (where they use the T637).

Piarco75 said:Just the new settings for the iTunes Phone... nothing else new as far as I can see. Was specifically looking for anything hinting a movie downloads, but thats a negative.
Hope when the phone is released its got a redesigned GUI as Motorola sucks ass when it comes to ease of use against Nokia and SE. Their design is getting better and better for the high end phones (RAZR, SLVR and the "RAZRberry") but their normal GUI is just bad....
mac-er said:Seeing that new iPods were released today...the media event is looking more and more to be the phone release.
I do. I think this is going to be a big deal and they would like to get a lot of press as leading the charge into selling music with partners. It cements the preeminence of the iTunes Music Store as the #1 retailer of digital music.joshuawaire said:I don't see Apple doing an entire event just because of the Motorola iTunes phone. Very interesting.
Surreal said:thank you. as i understand the chipset already supports recording, and you simply reiterate the point that yes MD and tape can do it, but it can be done in a more seamless manner.
o and i wasnt really knocking the quality of tape as i was knocking the fact that it has to be transfered in real time...wasnt clear.
lazyrighteye said:It is true that all of the technical (guts) elements are in place now for an iPod that could handle recording. A simple firmware update could yield an iPod that records 44/16 stereo - no prob (save battery life). I suspect some day we'll see an iPod that records... especially with Apple's Podcast push.
