It seems like only the US will be getting this phone if it happens.
The US Mobile phone network is antiquated compared to the rest of the world (well most of it) who are embracing the second generation of 3G (http://www.nextg.com.au/, http://www.three.com.au) ). At best this apple phone is rumoiured to be GSM... It may have the music player capabilities to die for but if I can't use it to make free video calls with my wife I am not interested. I hope I am wrong and they are looking at the rest of the world too.
http://www.t-mobile.com/ seems pretty ho hum in this day and age.

I can only see this as a good thing for Apple. They don't make much, if any, money off of iTMS sales. They run the store at cost or near that to fuel the sale of iPods. If some other company (or companies) can offer either (a) similar content for a lower price, or under a different business model (rental type music, for example) that works on FairPlay devices, read: iPods, then it's a reason to go buy MORE iPods. This generates money for Apple without the expense of running iTMS. Alternatively, if (b) a company is offering content that Apple is NOT offering (indie music, other TV shows, etc) then it's incetive for someone who wouldn't otherwise want an iPod to buy one.
The only bad thing for Apple would be if they created a compatible player, so you could buy a low priced music device and then buy iTMS content, which is basically at cost, without paying the so-called "iPod Tax". It doesn't sound like that's what's happening, though.
Damn. Exactly what I was going to say... down to the letter. So I shall repeat with different words to those listening:
Apple makes pennies on the iTMusicS (the story might be different for shows and games). Some people want to own an iPod, but don't want to pay iTS store prices or use their $0.99/song, end of story, model. Solution: buy mp3, d/l mp3 illegally, buy FairPlay elsewhere. With exception of Real Harmony, the last option has not existed.
Where Apple makes the money is iPod sales. HUGE money. However, Apple can't promote the three aforementioned options outright, not when it has the largest FairPlay (and altogether) legal music d/l store on the 'net. So the only thing they can do is not dissuade people from using the other options... forcefully, at least. All I remember Apple saying about Real Harmony was "they're hackers with questionable methods," or something like that.
As Mr. Green said, the only risk I would see is if others tried to make a FairPlay compatible "mp3" player. I wouldn't see it going places unless sync'd with iTunes or a different phenominal jukebox. Thus, Apple likely writes that possibility off as someone else "pulling a Zune."
hehe. We don't even know how the zune will do in reality but we love to pick on it here. I must be on a Mac Forum. :p

Clearly you don't travel, it's not like we want these unlocks and bankrupt AT&T to go to tmobile, we use it to mostly travel and avoid roaming charges. It's bull that every other phone can be unlocked by AT&T but the iPhone. I'm not going to buy another phone, or use some crazy gevey sim, or wait months for a software unlock that will be broken once more. Moving to another country is just not an answer. Land of the free my ass.

A handy link is this one (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?month=1&day=15&year=2008&hour=9&min=0&sec=0&p1=224) from timeanddate.com, which shows a wide range of cities.
I'll add that link to my main post.
You forgot the most important time zone:
1:30 - Newfoundland
I'll add that time to my main post aswell.
EDIT: Before I add it, is that PM or AM?

I've never understood the argument against the Air because of it's lack of DVD drive. I have no idea when the last time was I used mine, and it takes up a massive amount of space and weight on my MacBook.

I have 10.5 being shipped to my work and I'll be installing it on my PowerBook there.
I get off work at 4 and may stop by the Apple Store 5th Ave. to see what's going on.

You can't boot OS X from zfs, you can't use spotlight very well on zfs, quite a lot of applications/games won't work properly because zfs isn't case-insensitive and there are some more small problems. Zfs is great for a fileserver and various other kind of servers but in a Mac it's still hfs+ that is the best option (even though zfs is a much better filesystem).
We are well aware of this.
The boot drive is NOT going to be ZFS based, Mac OS X cannot boot from ZFS anyway.

I sold my iPhone 3GS in October and got a blackberry, but now I want to go back to the iPhone.
I'm not sure if I should keep my blackberry until a major iPhone upgrade, buy an iPhone 4 now, wait until June to see if a new iPhone is coming out around then, or wait until September if that's when the iPhone is coming out and see what's new.

thanks arn! I know I, as well as many MANY others will enjoy the new forum. I dont think the sites layout is as bad as you make it seem... I find it to be the best there is, which is why I started going here instead of other rumor sites the most.
Though it would be nice to have the different rumors listed category wise...;)

thanks for the hints!
shipping might take a bit, because I live in Germany.
I went for Stealth Guards (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=997633)
hopefully it arrives before the new Touch does ;)

I think Chico is talking about professional web design rather than doing it for a friend. I would charge at least $350 as well for a professional design like the example he showed. But if it were for a friend I would charge much less, if anything at all.

You have to read the AppleInsider to get the full story. Automatic brightness settings... motion detection...
"For example," Apple said, "the touch sensitive bezel can be used to sense touch gestures, such as touch and drag operations, made by the user. Using the touch gestures, a user can perform a number of user controls, such as move portions of an image that are being displayed, move a curser to drop and drag visual elements displayed scroll up and down through a screen, skip through images in an album or series of images, adjust the setting or value of a user control, or perform similar operations."
Move a cursor? mini-OS X? ;)

Wow! This one looks like it could be a tablet if the hand is drawn to scale:

Apple doesn't give a damn about the shareholders any more than they do about the customers, sorry.
What makes you say this? I'm curious about your take on Apple's motives.
Personally, I think that Apple goes above and beyond to please the shareholder. They may do it in a different way than other Fortune 500 companies (i.e. vertical integration, small portfolio of products, compete in focused markets), but you can't argue the results. Apple has been rewarding the shareholders for close to a decade now, with very few hiccups.
