Maybe I am too anti APPL, but I just don't see paying the premium for their products. I can wait a month, 3 , or a year, and pay less for the same thing for alot less. Not to mention, APPL sells their own "refurbished" products with warranty for quite a bit less than new. I just don't get wanting to be the first. At the same time I trade the stock and it's options for the same reasons. People are crazy. It makes me money, and I may actaully buy an IPAD for flying, as so far there are more apps than ANdroid, but I will buy a used I Pad, with the same warranty, and I guess to be unkind, laugh my ass off at those who pay full price to have the latest greatest, or simply brand new. I need to find that business, I have had enough of trading.
Here is a fascinating ted talk, on what the speaker calls "the 6th sense" that i was reminded of because of this iphone feature, this is 3 years old so i can only imagine how much more advanced it has become. It is mind boggling where technology is going, and merging with the physical world. Definitely worth the watch. <object width="526" height="374"> <param name="movie" value="http://video.ted.com/assets/player/swf/EmbedPlayer.swf"></param> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"/> <param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param> <param name="bgColor" value="#ffffff"></param> <param name="flashvars" value="vu=http://video.ted.com/talk/stream/2009I/Blank/PranavMistry_2009I-320k.mp4&su=http://images.ted.com/images/ted/tedindex/embed-posters/PranavMistry-2009I.embed_thumbnail.jpg&vw=512&vh=288&ap=0&ti=685&lang=&introDuration=15330&adDuration=4000&postAdDuration=830&adKeys=talk=pranav_mistry_the_thrilling_potential_of_sixthsense_tec;year=2009;theme=tales_of_invention;theme=design_like_you_give_a_damn;theme=the_creative_spark;theme=what_s_next_in_tech;theme=ted_under_30;event=TEDIndia+2009;tag=demo;tag=design;tag=open-source;tag=technology;&preAdTag=tconf.ted/embed;tile=1;sz=512x288;" /> <embed src="http://video.ted.com/assets/player/swf/EmbedPlayer.swf" pluginspace="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" bgColor="#ffffff" width="526" height="374" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" flashvars="vu=http://video.ted.com/talk/stream/2009I/Blank/PranavMistry_2009I-320k.mp4&su=http://images.ted.com/images/ted/tedindex/embed-posters/PranavMistry-2009I.embed_thumbnail.jpg&vw=512&vh=288&ap=0&ti=685&lang=&introDuration=15330&adDuration=4000&postAdDuration=830&adKeys=talk=pranav_mistry_the_thrilling_potential_of_sixthsense_tec;year=2009;theme=tales_of_invention;theme=design_like_you_give_a_damn;theme=the_creative_spark;theme=what_s_next_in_tech;theme=ted_under_30;event=TEDIndia+2009;tag=demo;tag=design;tag=open-source;tag=technology;&preAdTag=tconf.ted/embed;tile=1;sz=512x288;"></embed> </object>
