No Apple fan here, but... What if Apple would presents something like the Renault Twizy? Using the Apple's "cool factor" to promote a new kind of mobility could be an interesting phenomenon. A small, light, electric quasi-car, that could me more than enough for a lot of commuters. But I thought about this with Jobs at the helm; now with Tim Cook - or, anyone else non-Jobs - I think it will be even more improbable than before. Just saying.

People just need to learn to drive efficiently, if they want to consume less. You can't expect to just buy a Prius, drive like a mad man and burn like the EPA numbers. But, if you drive with a grain of salt, you CAN even exceed EPA numbers. A lot of hybrid drivers do that. In addition EPA numbers are just the results for a standardized set of tests, with some additional corrective factors. Depending on where you live, how's your commute, etc., you situation may approach more or less that scenario.

Enough said.

I'm skeptical. In this interview from October 2010, he doesn't seem to be in any special relation with Apple. http://news.cnet.com/8301-13860_3-20020465-56.html

Yes, that too. But a well-made Froyo would have probably been enough, for me at last. But Motorola released something really sub par, in addition to being late. I have no idea if they plan to release a fixed version, but considered they biblical times, I think it's irrelevant.

Motorola's long awaited Froyo update for the original Milestone was bad. Really bad! That convinced me to try CynogenMod 7, and it's just great: phone is faster, batteries last more, everything seems to be working just fine.
