This Is Apple’s Next iPhone →
You are looking at Apple’s next iPhone. It was found lost in a bar in Redwood City, camouflaged to look like an iPhone 3GS. We got it. We disassembled it. It’s the real thing, and here are all the details.
As skeptical as I usually am about this stuff, I was convinced the moment I saw the first pictures posted by Engadget. It was just too refined and too sexy to not be an Apple...

– Mark Pothier, Boston.com
This just confirms something I’ve long suspected. How the heck could regularly changing your password lead to better security? If someone gets a hold of it, they’re not gonna wait for you to change it before they break into your account.

– Shawn Blanc. I have the same issue. I won’t take out my iPad on the train unless another nearby passenger has one. (via marco)
I predicted this on Twitter even before the iPad was released. It will only exacerbate a problem I’ve had with the iPhone ever since I bought it: People peeking in from all...

“Sounds coming from the built-in speakers are acceptable. They’re no substitute...”
– The Real iPad Review | The Kmiec Ramblings
