Comment So about half will still break in the first 6mo (Score 0) 126

" Torch's 3.2-inch, 360-by-480 screen is a standard capacitive LCD touch screen. The screen is bright and sharp, but it's obviously behind the competition in terms of resolution. The Torch has a 5-megapixel camera with VGA video recording, Bluetooth 2.1, 512 MB of program memory, 4 GB of built-in storage, and 802.11n Wi-Fi. The Torch has the same 624-MHz Marvell processor as the existing BlackBerry Bold. The new BlackBerry 6 OS adds touch to the interface mix......... bla bla blah" So about half will still break in the first 6 months, right? I've had just about every BB since they first had phone capability, and they basically suck at everything except for writing emails (mostly). The newer they are the more easily they break.

Comment 5Mb/sec for 1080p? What are they encoding with? (Score 0) 128

Technology exists to do full 1080p at way lower bandwidths. H.264/AVC/MPEG-4 Part 10 allows 720p@30fps @512kbps, 720p@60fps@768kbs, 1080p@30fps@1024kbps. Of course there is going to be overhead, but it shouldn't be nearly as much as the video. Seems like they need to upgrade the service before rolling it out on a crap network.
