Is there a decent download manager for Safari on the Mac? Looking for something similar to DownThemAll for Firefox.
Micah Wittman, Graham Lawrence and Rajit liked this
I'm not sure if anything for Safari directly compares w/DownThemAll, but folx is a not-bad free download manager and will have bitTorrent as well, in the longerterm. Leech is not bad and is shareware. I did some searching awhile back and found a few (whose names escape me) that might be good, depending on your requirements. Just google or search on MacUpdate or VersionTracker. Good luck!

If you want to record video on your iPhone 3GS and aren’t happy with the built in microphone, then you could add one of these Flexible Mini Capsule iPhone 3GS Microphone’s. The Flexible Mini Capsule iPhone 3GS Microphone lets you position the microphone in a variety of different angles, and according to the guys over at Brando it will give you ten times better reception.

If the Almighty Steve Jobs deems the app to be necessary, who are we to question his judgement. All kidding aside, it's probably part of the Kernal or it's a set of apps that are locked by the OS. Maybe if you jail broke the phone, then you can remove it. Not really sure though.

Well, it's a bit of a linkbait because the title looks like it will be bankrupt by 2013, but the articles states that Nokia might have lost half it's smartphone market share under optimal conditions for Apple and worst conditions for Nokia. I do think they have to make some pretty amazing smartphones if they want to compete for my money.
- TobiasVerhoog.com
Nonsense. Nokia is vastly popular outside of the U.S. and its latest smartphones are selling like hotcakes (Nokia 5800 in particular). Surely, it will slowly lose some of its market share, but still remain dominant for more than 1.5 years that the article predicts. However, the key wrong assumption there is that Apple's share is going to preserve its growth rate for years to come, which seems naive at best.
- Pavlo Zahozhenko
Nokia's strength lies in its hardware, still not quite sure if that alone can sell devices because last time I checked, the average user does not even look at specs (maybe how many MP the camera has). They need more of a wow factor to entice a bigger audience especially here in the US (where I currently reside). Apple got people to upgrade from their old Motorola razors to iPhones. Even...

Report: Apple to add micro projectors to upcoming iPhone and iPod Touch models | NetworkWorld.com Community - http://www.networkworld.com/communi...
Hans Kainz liked this
the report goes on to note that Apple will be one of the companies who will implement Foxlink's mobile projector in an upcoming model of the iPhone. While the report suggests that Apple will include such a feature by the end of 2009, Apple seems pretty intent on maintaining its strategy of upgrading the iPhone once a year, during the Summer months. That does, however, open up the possibility of the iPod Touch receiving such functionality before the iPhone, but Apple seems intent on putting its latest and greatest features into the iPhone first, and then migrating them over to the Touch.

Can we just get some better battery life instead, or is that too much to ask?

add the projector and you'll get about 30 minutes!

It was a really tough call as I knew the iPhone was a much better platform and user experience out the gate, but went with G1 as I made a wild guess that Android would eventually mature and become the dominant platform.

I'm a huge evangelist for Android over iPhone. As it's open source it can be whatever you want, as opposed to the iPhone which is whatever Apple wants you to have. The plethora of handsets coming out for Android are also a fantastic sign of things to come. Personally I wanted desperately to have my physical keyboard which is why I went for the G1 instead of waiting for something prettier. All we (the Android community) need to do now is convince devs that it's a viable platform.
