It's nice to see the generally positive comments on this forum, other forums for "professionals" are not so happy!
Personally I can't wait to start working with it.
What these naysayers are NOT saying is what pro features are missing. Until they list something wrong with it, they are just being irrational. My experience is, lots of guys don't like their pro apps getting too easy to use, because they want their skills to be considered special. They hate it when, "Anyone can do it".
As others have pointed out, editing skills isn't just about technical expertise with the tools. What sets the better editors apart, is the choices they make. Think Walter Murch.

So buy the full version outright and get data plans with no caps. That's the beauty of a free market - you get to decide what you want and if the cost is worth it.
True about the subscription model.
Not so much about the data caps. There's no choice with many service providers. AT&T's data plan with the iPad for one example.
More to the point, I think it's just Full of Win mentioning that it's not a very ideal solution for those in Adobe's demographic. Which is a point we can discuss. I personally feel they've got it right, but I doubt there will be any substantial market for renting the full on suites when buying them outright ends up being a cheaper/more convenient option.

First, you need a lesson on how to have a conversation. Second, Apple is a hardware company. If allowing people to install Windows on their computers will allow them to sell more, then so be it. My company has started letting us purchase Mac now, since it can run some of our Windows only programs. I think bootcamp was a great move. You still have to buy a Mac to use it, so what's the problem.
A lot of resellers are already preinstalling XP on Intel Macs.
Resellers who are pre-installing XP on Intel Macs are charging for XP or they're willing to take a loss, because they are paying for it.
Apple does allow people to install Windows on their computer, it's just that people need to buy it, seperately.
I've been running Windows applications on Apple computers for over 15 years. So except for those gamers that need Direct X support, there really aren't any Windows apps that don't work on an Apple computer.
Calling Apple a hardware company is like calling McDonalds a hamburger stand.

Not seeing any battery drain here yet. 2.5 hours since I updated and the iPhone 4 is still advertising 100% battery. Granted I haven't used it much. :P
So its better than the previous version for battery life?

Personally the Zune is looking fairly attrective right now. Ever since the 5th Gen iPod came out everyone has complained that it needed to be widescreen and have a bigger screen. I don't care for the WiFi sharing really but you have to admit the interface looks pretty nice.
The Zune is no more widescreen than the iPod is. And the resolution is exactly the same (320x240), it's just physically bigger on the Zune, and has been rotated 90 degrees compared to an iPod's screen.

Poorly phrased comments lead to meaningless debate.
Comments about not wanting 3D in the ipad of course lead to the obvious response of those who disagree: "don't use it".
People expressing a desire that the ipad remain 3D free are probably hoping that 3D will be optional if it is added. I don't want 3D myself. But if others want 3D then I hope they get the option. But I do not want to pay extra for a feature I won't use. So if it comes to higher prices and I just "turn it off" then of course from my perspective I hope 3D is not implemented. But the better option would be the option of 3D and non-3D models.

What's your source that says PowerBooks (or any other machines) aren't affected?
I don't have any. I wish I did. The only thing I can go by is that there haven't been any mention of Powerbooks in ANY of the articles. They probably haven't mentioned it, because they don't know the details either. I wouldn't be suprised if it all machines with Airport. Not just the intel macs. So I guess in other words, I have no source. hahaha

Has anyone seen anything about being able to redownload TV shows we already purchased with the higher resolution. I haven't seen anything, but if Apple doesn't offer this, I'll be pretty peeved off as I just bought these shows recently.

Is it just me, or a 24" iMac would've been nice to show on stage with whatever that "Showtime" thing might be? That would, at least, have made some sense to at least start by showing that.
Which means the september 12th presentation must be really packed with new stuff if they couldn't even announce the 24" iMac at that event. They've also bumped the CPUs on the Mac mini today, so that makes two updates on the same day too.
It's also weird to see new releases on a wednesday...
If it's an event centered around Apple's multimedia business, it probably wouldn't have made much sense. I suspect the rumoured Airport Express Video will be announced (or rather it's more likely than not), and some tweaks to the iPod line are also in the offing, but I'm not expecting either to appear that exciting at first.
I would caution anyone about being disappointed by next Tuesday's event. There will be minimal hardware announced, and the full consequences of that hardware existing will not be readily apparent to most people. When you see it, think "No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame" - CmdrTaco's comments upon the original iPod launch, the significance of which most people missed too.

No, but enough sites do make use of it that Apple really should allow the CONSUMER to make the decision to enable or disable it. I know the Apple fanboys will disagree, but I wouldn't expect anything less from those guys.
Thank you.
Thank you.

I'm pretty sure Apple doesn't want any other news than the iPad until the iPad is released.
My guess is New MBP's won't be released until atleast a week or two after the iPad.

Adobe flash... HA!
The wizards at Apple can't even make a mobile device that will run that load of crap. I hope that crap-ware never makes it into any IOS based products.
Considering it runs like crap on Android from what I have read there is no way as long as steve is around that will go in an iOS.

Use Skyfire if you really need it I sure don't miss Flash. :D

If Wal-Mart stop selling DVD's by Studios who join the iTunes Store then I guess mu MR friensd in the US can just go buy somewher else.
I don't get it - if Wal-mart doesn't sell something does that mean no-one will buy it - at all? Just go elsewhere to get what you want.
Idiots!

A 4" screen is more important to me than 4g. After using 4'3" devices, 3'5" feels downright puny.

I think it's really funny (sad) that all the haters come out against RS. First off could you sound like bigger snots that RS is too lowbrow to buy your apple product from them. They're a retailer, that has survived by evolving when their core business has been decimated by the fact that technology in general is cheaper and more widely available than ever. Not for nothing, but the very products we're all coveting and supporting to no end, have evolved from garage built computers that were probably 90% RS parts!!!
I'm an Apple believer, and terribly disappointed that living in NYC I can't walk into a company store and walk out with my $800 appliance. Tomorrow morning the RS 1 block from my house will open at 9AM, and I'll walk out in 5 minutes with a product that I haven't been able to get in 3 weeks, after 'stopping' in at least 8 times, only to be turned away. The last time the Apple-droid from bum**** actually told me my best bet was to come back at 5AM and wait on line!
Dont forget your free phone LOL

Why so many negatives, I love 3D stuff when it's done correctly. Lots of fun in my opinion. Though I really doubt Apple would put a 3D screen on the iPad.

I wonder if they'll have a "complete catalog" package?
Now that would be expensive!!!
I like the idea of The Beatles catalog being available on iTunes, but for me, I'd be most interested in getting CD's of the remastered music so I can rip at my preferred bit rate. :)
Is this all part of Paul's plan to stay solvent through his divorce? :rolleyes:

And if the US spent even a fraction of the $600 billion a year it spends on its military on aid then we'd all be better off - free mosquito nets for Africans would be a good start (http://www.economist.com/blogs/democracyinamerica/2011/03/libya_v_aid?page=4).
