I'm not sure your points are valid. The iPhone is not priced three times more than equivalent phones. Outright prices are not available in the US, but in England an iPhone 4 starts at £499 and a HTC Desire is £449. Software updates for the

you're right, i don't, but that's where the phone point is, so i'm kind of stuck with it unless i re-cable the house somewhat.

you're correct in some ways, but it's not that easy. plugged into the usb hub are: keyboard (could be replaced with wireless) external hard drive - time machine. i prefer it this way than over wireless iphone dock (hidden underneath macbook

i'm interested, has anyone else got a different take on cable management? surely other HN readers have their own solutions?

they are batched up to some extent. i find i get 2-3 apps appear on each invoice (sometimes more). it only seems to cover a couple of days generally though.

what will this mean for other twitter app developers? twitter will be competing head on with them and presumably be able to implement new features quicker and easier.

along similar lines, one of my favourite things about the iphone is the lack of carrier branding. i can only speak for australia, but carriers over here like to stick their logos all over the phone itself and re-brand the software interface

no, not on hand. it's my impression as a user, from blog posts by developers and the comments here on hacker news.

true, but as i recall that only had 2 or 3 purchases in total before being pulled. it also had notoriety as the most expensive app on the app store.

i don't mean to doubt the experiment, but 14 people paid $299 for this game? my understanding is that sales of any app over $5 are quite hard to come by. looking at this game in itunes, it really shows nothing that i imagine would convince

though some media reports may say otherwise, australia hasn't had a significant decrease in property values in the last 5 years. there are some isolated cases of properties/suburbs falling significantly in price, but absolutely nothing like

i tried under the sheet, it annoyed me and was inconvenient. personal preference though. my phone sits on my bedside table, next to my bed. easily close enough for the wakemate connection.

for me, the biggest hurdle to sleep cycle is that it needs to be physically on my bed whilst i sleep, whereas WakeMate is a wrist band. i used sleep cycle for a while, however the phone would fall off my bed or i had to place it under my pi

Whilst I agree with your comments in most circumstances, Gruber has an excellent track record with Apple rumours.

Yes and then decided to give my take on it, much in the same way Gruber has given his take on it. Neither of us know for sure why Apple did what they did.

I had wondered if Apple had removed them simply because the apps were of such low quality. This would explain why Playboy, Sport Illustrated etc are still present. The cheap 'boobs/babes/bikini' apps constantly filled many slots in the top
