Not to be nitpicky, but don't you mean semi-annual, not bi-annual? Was a little confusing -- and you kept saying bi-annual... _Man_

But wouldn't a real pessimist just wonder where's the catch and worry about the next thing going wrong before long? _Man_

I wonder how well the overall touch interface would scale to 2x the PPI in res on the ~10" screen though. Is that not also an issue, including in terms of battery usage? It might not only be about pushing pixels to the screen. It could also be about drawing (touch) input from the screen as...

(Asking as someone who considers syncing a normal part of iPhone / iPod usage :) Yeah, first thing I did. But, music sync was turned off, and I got that message the first time I turned it on. It didn't make sense, but they made it sound like they were going to wipe the phone before...

Is that the only way in the latest version of iTunes? I would think that's not the best way to do it. _Man_

I never got an iPhone (yet?), but I would think so since I did it (albeit w/ an older version of iTunes, ie. v8.x ) w/ an iPod Touch 2G and an iPod Nano. I even did it w/ different versions of the same tracks, ie. different compression quality files so I could squeeze more tracks onto the 8GB...

One other thing to remember wrt the e-book readers. The $$$ is in the e-books themselves, not the readers. Even if Amazon decides to stop making Kindle hardware, that won't mean they'll stop providing Kindle-based e-books (unless they have something else much better to replace the Kindle...

But aren't there Kindle reader apps for other (popular) hardware/OS platforms? Android has one, no? Unless Amazon is in the habit of making their e-books backwards incompatible, you should probably be ok even if Amazon goes out of (the e-books) business, no? I'm not so sure you can say the...

I still don't understand the point of coverflow. Does anyone actually use it to select music? I wish there was a proper landscape iPod view for the iPhone. Presumably, the idea is to simulate how one would flip thru album covers to find what one wants at the moment. Problem is there's no...

Agreed (w/ DaveF) on all accounts, especially since it sounds like you probably don't/won't know enough to do anymore than that anyway.   The data-recovery service company could probably handle everything for you if it indeed turns out to be a HDD failure. Presumably, any good one would be...

That apparently is one of the problems w/ the Apple-way of doing things. Like w/ many things, it's a double-edged sword.   I would think though that Apple (or an Apple partner) would probably provide some sort of service (at a premium fee) to transfer your stuff to another Mac computer, no...

TonyD,   You don't have your critical stuff backed up somewhere at all?   Hmmm... Would swapping the HDD into another macbook (of similar config) be quick and easy to do? If yes, I'd guess you want to find a friend/etc. who can do that for you to transfer your critical stuff off it to...
