"Over a month of standby". What does *that* mean? Why would you leave it in standby instead of having it turn on instantly. Is it expecting to receive phone calls or data? -- Richard -- Please remember to mention me / in tapes you leave behind.

But actually trying to type onto that virtual keyboard is going to be like trying to type on a ZX-81. Potentially ghastly. So I wonder if it can run a power station too? -- Peter

Umm, 3G, WiFi, special deal with AT&T for cheap access, can run all the iPhone Apps as well as enhanved versions of its own, iWork available at $10 per application, prices start from $499, not available in Europe until July, it seems. Accessories of hinted at excellence and shinyness. Hmm $499 FOR 16GB, 32Gb for $599, 64GB for $699 add $130 for 3G connectivity. That last seems a bit steep. |
