I do. Speech to text rules. I type less each day.

Not necessarily. Amazon;s whispernet lets you use 3G wireless free to download stuff you buy. There is no free lunch, you will have to give something up, watch an ad, free sub. But you do not necessarily need to have a sub. In fact, the governmnet could allocate part of the spectrum to public free wireless, and let people figure out ways to make it work - PBSg.

A lot of people used to use buggy whips too. OTA will die eventually. Maybe the model is download/watch my show free on the internet - like Amazon's whispernet - and the bandwidth is free in return for your data.

Introducing the 4GS.

C'mon man, he has been hard at work on his NCAA bracket.

Using the new EVO 4G phone (from Sprint) on a 3G network is a bit like confining yourself to the posted speed limit in a Maserati. Naturally, when the phone goes on sale June 4, people who live in 3G-only cities (such as San Francisco) may wonder what they're missing from the experience. (What is 4G?) So when I got my hands on the phone, my first thought was to see what the device could do in 4G country--cities where Sprint's partner, Clearwire, has had its 4G WiMax network up and running for a good while. So I flew up to the Pacific Northwest with the EVO 4G to try it out in six 4G cities on Clearwire’s WiMax network. ...

It runs my home network, and I am very satisfied with it. So much so, that the Spring 4G EVO looks very attractive as an iPhone alternative. Too bad my contract runs out in December, and ATT jacked up surrender fees.

This whole battle still has me scratching my head, with all the different theories. My main question is why Adobe has been so late to create a true mobile player that supports touch for newer mobile devices - the ones that actually can access the internet easily. A player that optimizes battery life, and resources. I know version 10.1 is supposed to be this, but I can't really tell if it will deliver. 10.1 also seems to be 1+ years behind schedule. Adobe is the one that owns the player and that onus is on them. Of course, current flash sites cannot be made to work well on any touchscreen device, and this cannot be solved by Apple nor Adobe. I think the latter is a major issue, especially when Jobs wants user experience as a priority.

Of course, Apple could just be trying to do away with it, hoping HTML 5 takes more hold.

It is weird the U.S. is a lot of things, but we probably have some of the most open speech amongst many developed countries.

On those untraceable loans, we all know where those went - just follow the political contributions.

Backlit keyboard, yes it does have one, just not tactile. But it is backlit, something my Dell Mini does not have which stinks for the little typing I do on it. It is a little more expensive than SOME netbooks, but not much, My mini dell 12 was $500. The processing will be plenty fast, the Atom in my Dell is a dog compared to my iPhone for things like video playback. Actually, I find the OS very good compared to Windows, or Ubuntu, and even the full Mac OS (I use all three). Sure for some tasks not as good, but for others it is great - short boot time too for the iPhone OS.
For most simple computing tasks for most people I bet the iPad will be great. People are way underestimating this thing. Basically a Kindle with tons more features, and a color screen. Last I checked Kindles were pretty popular.
Lastly the touch screen blows away Netbooks. I find your finger touching stuff on the screen to be way more efficient than a mouse.
