Using GSP and Iphoto only makes sense if the photo's have the GSP location information as part of the photo. So that mean that the Camera taking the picture has a GSP reciever in it, which is great outside, but GPS does not work indoors

I just got an LG VX 7000 as a Hanukkah present, (my parents said - pick a new cell phone under 200, get a new contract, we'll buy the phone) and I feel the need to review this product as many people don't know much about it.
I grade cell phones based on the following:
Ease of use/menus
Graphic interface
Battery life
Audio quality
Screen quality
Quality of additional features
Design
East of use/menus: The LG VX 7000 uses a creative tabbed menu system that sometimes reminds me of a web browser. While completely uncomplicated, you might have to go through a multitude of menus to find what you want.
Pro User: A
Grandparent: B
Graphic Interface: The beautiful and crisp GUI really enhances the value of this phone. The startup graphics are incredible, and this displays pics well.
Pro User: A+
Grandparent: A+
Battery Life: For a color phone, this is a big improvement on earlier LG models. It will definately get you through the day and evening on a charge, if not last through the night and the better part of the following day depending on usage. Also, there are four battery bars instead of three, which makes it easier to have a range without guessing where you are.
Pro User: A
Grandparent: A+
Audio Quality: The audio is clear and beautiful. The ringers are loud and you can certainly hear them - no need to use vibrate unless you're at work/school etc. Calls are excellent, but that's also partly Verizon.
Pro User: A
Grandparent: A
Screen Quality: The screen is large enough for anyone to see and you have options for text size. It is clear and crisp. The outside screen is of a slightly lower quality, but unless you're displaying photos on it, it's not going to matter.
Pro User: A
Grandparent: A-
Quality of Additional Features: The phone is just that, a phone. Verizon's mobile web works nicely but is not very impressive - I don't use it and cancelled that service. This is a phone, not a camera, but if you're lucky, you might get a nice shot or two for your background. The video records audio nicely if you're close enough, and 15 second is enough for a decent clip.
Pro User: B
Grandparent: A
Design: This phone is sleek and stylish. There was a blue model, but now it's just black with Verizon, and the phone seems to be of high-quality and fairly durable material. The only major design flaw is not having a way to close the lens on the camera, we'll have to see how well that holds up....

Why dont you just build a webpage and then send everyone a link? Just like the spammers do.
we thought of that and for our first email I think we might do just that. but we would rather do it this way so that it would better suit or needs. this is a mass email that we send out to people that sign up on our emailing list. we want to create something where it gives people updates for stuff we are doing every month, and everything would correlate back to our website we are working on. idealy we are going to have a printed news letter, an enews letter, and our website with all three fulfilling different needs.
here are some examples of what we are wanting to do.

The design rocks, but the C2D is a non-starter. My nearly 4 year old faster CPU C2D machine chugs on my iTunes collection, flash, any hi-def. video.
I really have no use for it at this point. I really find it amazing that a 2.16 C2D is OK for they type f computing that I see around me...iTune, videos, huge DPI photos in iPhoto, etc. It literally took hours to import my iTunes library while iTunes was analyzing for volume...
That said, I will be the first to buy a Sandy Bridge MBA...basically my dream machine...
Didn't see your post or I simply would've said +1 lol.

Well there is a video in the other Leopard screenshot thread that shows finder but it has a unified skin. But we are pretty sure its from Leopard cause it shows an integrated feature that is obviously new. It should still be on like page 5...
But yea, so these features are great, resolution independence is awesome as usual and these little minor things add up. MWSF is going to be awesome.

I was told by another member that this site is very informative and helpful.
What I'm looking for is the best/coolest/most productive apps out there.
I already have the basics like weather, facebook, and stuff like that. I'm looking for other apps you use that most don't know about.
Games too, if you have any awesome games.
Thanks, and I'll sit back and listen.

Much appreciation for the hard work, but I agree that this design is cluttered and disorganized. If nothing else, I believe a unified color scheme is crucial. Presently, the new front page is difficult to view.

So the wifi units sold out first? How many total units? 100 or so?
There were probably 70 or 80 people there. Some bought one, some bought two iPads. I think there were enough for everybody who was there this morning. They handed out tickets and opened the store at 0900 and I was out and happy by 1000.

The big news today as far as I can tell is that Steve went with a collared shirt instead of a mock neck; continues to shun belts.
I can't get excited about iPods. A 12" screened device that can play movies, CDs, DVDs, and run office software - yes, an ultraportable laptop would be useful.

Heat shouldn't be a problem, the 6600 is a very weak GPU. Even the current Mac Mini's GPU is twice as powerful.

Can another company even sell music at less than $0.99? Apple has been tight with the record companies to keep the price that low. The only "competition" that could be considered cheaper would be a subscription model of music sales/rental. However, does Apples DRM even support the features necessary for a subscription model? DVD Jon can only break DRM, not add new features to it, and the devices it plays on (iPod)

My question is this: the keynote treated this like a true 'sync', but it sure doesn't look that way. Does it do more than a 1-way copy? And, does it only (as the menu item suggests) work on iTMS purchased tracks, not ripped CDs?
Steve specifically said on the keynote that it was iTunes purchased tracks only. I don't know if it works 2-way with iTunes tracks, though.
Anyone else notice that iTunes now has an option to burn CD-TEXT?
It's called "Include CD Text" and is in the burning preferences.
I noticed that. Only for 10.4, though.
Yeah, Steve did only say 802.11 which strikes me as odd, but why would they use n in the set top box, when all of the current Macs have g? I don't see Apple telling everyone who just bought a new Mac "too bad"
Unless recent Macs have 802.11n which just needs a firmware update to unlock it.
All the 802.11 wireless standards are backwards compatible. So even if it was 802.11n, the airport and airport extreme cards would still work with it.
And finally, Macrumors are dumb if they are still seriously hanging onto this idea of an Apple phone. THERE WILL BE NO APPLE PRODUCED PHONE.
That feature is specifically pointed as for, "iTunes phones."

Tried updating to the latest OS. It failed and itunes says iPad needs to be restored. Tried restoring and get error code (-1). tried restoring again. It goes through the restore process, completes, then says it needs to be restored (as if that's not what I just did). So I try again and get error code (-1)

Flickr already stores location information for photos - not GPS-based, but you can browse maps and assign pictures to a specific location where you took them, and then search/browse all users shared photos by location. I could see iPhoto doing something similar, with the add-in of recognizing GPS data.

I will buy the MBA when it gets a backlit keyboard.
Completely agree .. I bought an MBP 13" unibody when it got upgraded with a backlight and its the best laptop ever ... when I went to test the latest MBA the lack of the backlit keyboard was the only thing stopping me from sidegrading to it (the only 'upgrade' would be the size/weight shrinkage, the other specs would be a downgrade).
As the MBP 13" unibody was introduced without a backlit keyboard then I suspect the MBAs will get them at the next bump or maybe the one after that .. I guess it will depend upon what Apple do with the chipsets and whether there is enough battery spare for the leds 8-)

The problem is that Microsoft doesn't know how to play from behind the competition, especially with a device that only serves one purpose and can't really be improved enough to catch people's attention. It was a silly decision to jump in the market so late in the game.
Bingo. Microsoft saw another industry that was making money so they decided to jump in to try and cash in the new cow.
Considering that both Sony and Microsoft have a diverse range of products (game consoles, phones, computers, software), it's surprising that neither of them have been able to make larger strides with their respective offerings.
I've only known two people who owned a Zune. One was a Windows sysadmin (now interested in iOS development), and the other was a person who likely was trying to avoid the mainstream by NOT getting an iPod.

So today, for no reason, my iphone (3gs) started having the following problems:
1) Coming randomly out of standby (like I hit the home button).
2) No function at all from home button.
3) Phone displays "Charging is not supported with this accessory" and related messages and problems even when nothing is plugged in.
4) Sound out of speakers is about 10% of normal volume, even when at max.
5) Phone will randomly enter "voice command"
Some of these problems come and go, and there's other miscellaneous issues, but these are the most prominent ones.
My phone is out of warranty, so I can't get it fixed with apple. I suspect it might have something to do with the charging end, I took some dust out of there but it didn't change anything.
