Some reviews of the camera and video which look pretty interesting...
the capabilities of small devices for video recording has really changed a lot in such a short amount of time.
digital cameras a year a go shot terrible video. and those were dedicated capture devices if not video.

and now you can do 720p on a droid or iphone? AND EDIT ON THE DEVICE? that's astounding. blows my mind. seriously, the portable revolution - what an exciting time to be alive.

No kidding. I'm looking forward to playing around with iMovie on the phone. That should be pretty cool... although the neatness will wear off and I'll eventually switch back to desktop editing.

It gives me less information than a Mickeysoft error There is no problem with the network, it just downloaded almost 400MB of iOS4 data mere seconds before it went to the verification stage and then failed.

Just keep trying. The authentication servers might just be getting hammered. Happened to me last week.

If it's failing on the download try from the direct link:

http://www.macstories.net/news/break...-for-download/

You can Alt click check for updates (or restore) button once it's downloaded and pick the downloaded ipsw file. Back up first.

I had to try 3-4x to update to OS4 on my iPod Touch as well the day after it came out.

I'm sure the servers have been getting hammered.

I know what you mean. The worst part is it's all just an advertising gimmick.

But I wanted to post it before a hater turned it into a thanks-fest.

His time is worth more than his money

The advertising and word of mouth that this generates probably means the cost of the stuff he blends is probably only 1% of what is made from blender sales.

It's getting crappy with all the skits and stuff now. They should stick to blending.

Unfortunately no the cheapest i could find it was $399.

For that price i will just deal with my crappy blender for my shakes

For some reason i don't think i can convince the wife it was a smart purchase

What's the problem? I hope the 3GS will fair better. I still can't connect to Apple to get the update to verify. It just keeps downloaded 350MB of stuff and then fails to verify everytime.

Should I even bother?

Are there any reported issues with 3GS?
