I think OS X is here to stay, but I suspect over the years the interface (GUI) will change. 10 years from now is hard to predict. Just look at what has changed in the last 5 year…

Coming at it from a slightly different angle, well, a marketing angle I guess, when are Apple going to release OS XI, and how significant a change is it going to be over OS X? Obv…

Marketing, for sure. What arrived as Mac OS 8 was originally supposed to be 7.7. OS 8 was supposed to be the name for the next, built-from-the-ground-up, fully PPC-native OS. I thi…

At first the System and Finder developed very quickly, up to version 6. Updates were free, and noone really bothered about the version numbers. System 5 never actually existed - Sy…

P, thanks for that post, very interesting and informative, cheers.

IMHO, due to the Unix underpinnings, Apple is no longer chained to creating EVERYTHING for OS X. I know that Steve Jobs isn't going to make the same mistake twice with Apple's OS. …

Apple may decide on a new paradigm for the interface, but not a new operating system from scratch. It may do something like the "Public Square" concept for organizing and rely on h…

It does look fantastic, even compared to my already-pretty-great k750. The camera quality and the fact that I've heard it comes with an RSS reader means it might stop me from jumpi…

I was sold on the 810 for NA but then this comes out! I was reading up on it over at Howard Forums and I think I'm waiting for this summer to roll around! Finally, a phone with a…

Yeah, I have a dSLR (Canon 20D) with lots of nice lenses, but I only carry that around for specific outings obviously. However, what I found is that I have no desire to carry aroun…

Oh I totally agree with that. It'll be great for blog shots! My iMate takes crummy pictures and is huge (But I don't complain with my full salling support and DUN!). The treo 65…

I have Sony's w800, and I'm really happy with it--ie, it's small, has a quick & intuitive interface, good music functionality, and the 2MP camera produces good-enough images fo…

Have there been statements about slow shutters on these new phones?

A completely new feature developed by Sony Ericsson is BestPic, which ensures that you never ‘miss’ an important picture. Press the shutter button once and get 9 full quality 3.2 m…

Anyone seen an approx cost for this beast? I paid an embarrassing amount for my W800i several months ago. I'll have a hard time justifying this one, no matter how much better it ma…

I heard is going to be mucho expensive when it first comes out (Probably over $500 for sure) sigh..... it is going to be hard as over the summer, I'm upgrading both my wife and my…

This is a real picture of the screen:

Now that my old camera broke I'm going to buy DSLR very soon -- and hopefully K790i will come soon enough, because DSLR doesn't really fit in my pocket . So this summer for how mu…

The prototypes were so hot it kept me up late. This final design is really ugly.

Yep.
