It's funny, but wherever I go, I always see people with iPhones. My train, on plane trips between Chicago and NYC, during meetings, etc. I am amazed the number is only 5% - but I guess it's the circles that I am in.
As said in the article, Apple has a noticeably higher market share in developed economies, and I would assume this to be particularly true for the U.S.. Moreover, a smartphone (particularly one that doubles as an iPod) will be much more often in the hands of someone compared to being in their pocket. Feature phones likely come only out of the pockets when actually speaking or texting on them.
In Stockholm and Frankfurt, I hardly see any iPhones. Also, I hardly see any iPads. I do however see a ton of MacBookPros but almost no MacBookAirs.
I find both places very style-centric (Stockholm especially), but also somewhat frugal. I don't think that iPhone will reach as large of a market share in Europe due to the high upfront cost of an iPhone (659€/799€ for 16GB/32GB).
I am seeing a lot of iPhones in Switzerland (greater Zurich area) but then Switzerland has high disposable income and always had one of the highest rates of Mac ownership worldwide.

Anyone know if it'll run well enough to play on a 2007 MBP with 128 nVidia 8600m, c2d, 4gb ram?
I desperately want to buy this game but I'm very hesitant because I don't know if it'll run well enough on my system.

Expect software announcements at an Apple special event on 30 January (the consumer release date for Vista, as if you didn't know already). There Steve will talk about Leopard's Top Secret features and the new iLife suite, just so that once MS have stopped kicking themselves after the release of the iPhone and the bruises are starting to heal, they can do it all over again. See Zunes and Vista in bargain bins all over the world (I know that Zunes are only on sale in the US at present, but in order to get rid of stock they will be put on sale everywhere without any software support whatsoever).
I have to disagree with your logic on this. It would be a big mistake to release Leopard, or for that matter have any sort of media event about Leopard on or around the time of Vista's launch. They should wait at least a few weeks after Vista's release.
It's not that Leopard doesn't have the potential ability to out-shine Vista, it certainly does. But as far as public attention goes, with the majority market share held by Microsoft, all eyes will be on Vista, as far as media coverage goes. While Leopard would certainly not be lost in the shuffle as far as Mac users go, any potential press that Apple could garner from it's release would be basically wasted. In fact, I could imagine such a move by Apple could be viewed as an "out of desperation" announcement, to the general (Non-Mac User) public and media alike.
Apple would be much wiser to release it a few weeks later, probably close to a month after Vista's release, at a minimum. That is, of course, if it's even ready to ship.

Who said this was a dumbed down edit suite and no longer for pros?
This looks AMAZING and solves dozens of the gripes that I deal with on a day to day basis.
Thank god that Apple aren't scared of naysayers and traditionalists like user 'Full of Win'!!!Just got back from NAB. I was at the SuperMeet.
Instead of repeating everything that everyone that has seen it...Ill just say that your post is bang on ;)

jon stewart, or should i say Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz, is not funny and is an unintelligent, illogical, emotional child. anything funny he says on his show is no doubt written by a team of young writers. he is famous for being a clown.
Unintelligent? lol
Have you seen him pick people apart with questions or when he's doing commentary?
As for emotional, you may want to check out the nutbars on Faux News with their crazy antics (Glenn Beck) and constant lies. Let's also not forget the Tea Bagging people, they're a weeee bit emotional as well.

I think its your connection or location... or something regionally specific to you.
Im leaching of my neighbors wifi, with just 2 bars and I get a fantastic stream here.

Worst...streaming....ever....
And this is the company that supposedly will be handed the crown for online movie rentals and downloads?
This happens year after year. The day of the keynote (and sometimes days/weeks afterward) always sees enormous demand for the stream but they never allocate enough to handle it. You think that they would have figured it out by now, and they better pretty damn quick if they expect to stream movie rentals - reliably that is.
I have a 3 megabit DSL connection and this is what I'm getting. They get an F. Pathetic.

I'm still amazed that we're at the point where we can measure Apple on the 'mobile phone' scale and not just the 'smartphone' scale.
Indeed, and unlike the trolls, Apple users are amazed at how well Apple is doing in these rankings. When the iPhone first came out, I doubt anyone expected Apple to do as well as it has.

Well not too excited if it is like what it is described. Nothing sensational.
On the other hand, this could be achieved through MobileMe, easily. Just created apple script to copy data whenever new data is added. :|
OR Dropbox OR amazon disk. :|
I hope Apple does something different.

That's important if you're an investor. or employee. As a consumer - who cares how much money a company makes. It's not about their profit, it's about their products.
I can agree with that. But rmwebs said that Steve should resign. Steve works for the share holders, and they do care about the profits.
Stating that Steve should resign because he steered the company into new markets which make Apple 2-3 times as much as before is just ridiculous IMHO.

QUESTION: Would the police in your town break down the door of someone who stole your cell phone?
ADMIT IT... Answer? NOPE!
And please let's go down the trade secrets route, we're not talking anything breakthrough here or nuclear technology.
It's not just a cell phone. That's the whole idea. And Gizmodo *knew* it wasn't just a cell phone. The "Trade Secrets" route you would like to sidestep isn't going away.

Remember when Nokia used to be an innovative company? Now they hope their back patent portfolio will somehow eek out profits from the companies who leapfrogged them at their own game. It's sad, really.

Nokia has floundered in the smart phone market for 14 years and couldn't get it right. The last four years of those 14 Nokia was up against Apple and couldn't get it right. Now since the smart phone market is where the growth is at, Nokia needs to get it right or become irrelevant except in the bottom end of the phone market where the profit per unit is really tiny.
You might want to check your dates, Nokia released the first smartphone in nine years ago. Where did you get 14 years from?
The 7650 was released in it supported multitasking, it had a camera, it took video, it supported 3rd party apps, it supported MMS, and custom ring tones, bluetooth file transfer. Apple stuggle to support any of those when they released a phone.

Didn't Apple drop some flash memory provider over a similar statement before the Shuffle was announced?
nah nah, nah

Lions Gate, good bye

This isn't going to be a 'live stream'. Even the text says 'live-on-demand stream'. on-demand means you can watch it whenever you want. This is a stub for them to put the finished stream on once it's over.
Who found this link? It's not anywhere on the http://www.apple.com/quicktime/guide/appleevents/ page. So most likely someone ran into this link by mistake or was fed it by an insider, but it's not going to go live probably for at least an hour after the event is over.
That's my guess anyway, I could be wrong, but it doesn't feel like this link is going to work for a while.In Past Apple Streamed These Events Live Every Time So It's Not Inconceiveable this will be streamed live - especially since there is a new Paris Apple Expo just opened live today.

You do use the viewer and canvas simultaneously when doing multiclip editing, but I'm sure that this feature will be implemented in some way once the software is released.
I'm hoping multiclip is even better in FCPX, seems like they now have the power to make multiclips of different codec/resolution so we don't need to have the exact same format for both camera angles. With automatic audio waveform syncing too...

An early release is good, but no bugs please!
Will an early release mean free Leopard for the new C2D MBP's & MB's ?

In Stockholm and Frankfurt, I hardly see any iPhones. Also, I hardly see any iPads. I do however see a ton of MacBookPros but almost no MacBookAirs.
I find both places very style-centric (Stockholm especially), but also somewhat frugal. I don't think that iPhone will reach as large of a market share in Europe due to the high upfront cost of an iPhone (659�/799� for 16GB/32GB).
Actually, it's running joke that you can identify an American by iPhone/iPad (aside from the loud inane conversation).
I live in Stockholm and see iPhones virtually everywhere..
