That looks dumb, i mean yeah, its sexy but i would ruin that screen in a few days.

Come on man, just because it's from apple? ...that thing is packed with features and it's gorgeous (although a bit pricey)

Anyways, to me the biggest news is that the screen is 160 ppi. The typical computer screen is somewhere between 75 - 100. It's going to flood the market, which means it's going to drive up the demand for higher resolution displays. Apple has already advised software developers to begin working on resolution independent software. And the next big thing? High resolution web. No more pixel fonts (except for novelty purposes). Also the mass acceptance of vector artwork on the internet. It's going to be a beautiful place. All in the next two to three years.

What he means is that big screen doesnt have any cover and would most likely be scratched soon :huh:

Personally I think it looks awesome but there's no way I'm ever gonna buy it.

 

[givemfitz]

Yeah. I think I'll just stick with the free Kyocera that they handed out at work.

No but it will work in places that don't have digital. Haven't been updated. There are many such places still.

 

[leone]

Is a cell tower digital or some are analog, others are digital?

 

[givemfitz]

Some places are still digital.
