Sweetcell, it all come down to how you look at it.

When a software company releases a bug patch, or adds an obvious feature that should have been there in the first place, are you overwhelmed with gratitude and admiration that they did something about it, or are you glad but still slightly annoyed that they sold you an incomplete piece of software in the first place?

If it's the former, you too may be a fanboi.

i doubt i qualify as a fanboi - wouldn't i have to own one?   

who here is overwhelmed with gratitude and admiration?  i think my post was clearly in the "glad but still slightly annoyed" category, not that i have a horse in this race.  i'm sure the apple message boards are full of "praise be to Jobs for copy and paste" adirations, but that's the fanboi community.  apple can't take responsibility for them.

you still haven't explained how that image conveys the "amazing chutzpah of showing off "Cut, copy, and paste" as if it's a brilliant, cutting edge idea that they just came up with"?  i didn't watch the presentation so maybe the speaker did flaunt it like something new, but in that image i see someone pointing out a new few feature on their hardware - nothing more.  there is no "we invented this" banner or other messianic proclamation.  should they have ignored this new feature and not talked about it at all?  that extreme seems to be the only one that would make you happy... and i think that's unrealistic.  that's all.

that the iphone didn't have this capability from the outset is lame, but let's not mix topics.

That all falls under what I have always called a MacHandicap.

Have no idea if this works all that well or what. Just happened to see this article and thought I'd share it here. To be honest, I didn't even read it since I do not own an iPod nor an iPhone. Has anyone tried this and what are your thoughts on this?

Review: How an iPod can be a poor man's iPhone

(Sorry if this has or something like this has been posted already as I tend to glide past any kind of iProducts info in here.)

i might have to get a slingbox now

This was submitted to the App store today and awaits approval.  If you promise not to watch any Skinimax on it I'm sure they'll approve it in no time.

Will it be included in iphone 3.0? 

Yes, but it will require some agreement with your phone provider and Apple has said they will not step in and force the service provider to take any steps. As the iPhone is exclusive, I wouldn't look for much competition to add this to the existing plan at no charge.

Well, as predicted:

at&t Tweaks Wireless Terms of Service to Forbid Video Streaming, File Sharing, and Data Tethering

I guess that means no Slingbox or tethering on the iPhone.

Well, because vansmack pointed out to us all that was wrong with that decision, we take it back.  Our bad.

Of course they do.  It's done nothing but bring more and more subscribers.

It's just bad for everybody else not named at&t (and arguably Apple).

Verizon Said to Be in Talks for the iPhone
