I'm an iPhone & Apple fan, but come on, $199 for replacement or repair insurance from Apple that doesn't even cover loss or theft when the most you would pay with AT&T is $125, and only $5 a month?!....really??

Do you even know what this app is? First of all they made over 1 million dollars in just one months of sales on the Mac App Store. If that doesn't count as "catching on" I don't know what does. It is not a mobile app. Not for iPhone, or iPad. This is a Mac only app. You think $30 is a lot to ask for it? It is now getting pretty close to Photoshop in features which costs hundreds of dollars.

I'm a professional graphic designer, and there is only one feature that Pixelmator will be missing for me to fully replace Photoshop with Pixelmator (Layer styles). This is very impressive software at an insanely low price.

I totally agree. TeamViewer is awesome and free (at least it is for personal use) Maybe this Citrix one is free for commercial use? Is that the difference?

My iPad saved me this morning. I had to be at a meeting at nine and had no idea that the time changed today. Wasn't till almost 11 that somebody mentioned the time change and I realized what had happened.

Not that I believe this is actually going to happen, but making the screen a little bit bigger physically while leaving the resolution at 640x960 would not require any redesign at all by developers.

The ppi wouldn't be quite as high, but as long as its the same number of pixels its it would work fine with all existing apps.

Ok, so whats up with all of these random unheard of websites being used as sources now? Do they have anything to back up these claims, or is it pure speculation?

You know what I think is going on? Apple is telling people on the inside about these different random sized devices that aren't really coming to market to then see what rumors surface and know exactly who inside Apple is leaking info… just my thought.

Wouldn't be the first time they've done it.

As I stated in an earlier comment, for $40 on Virgin I get Unlimited data, 1200 minutes and unlimited texts. (hotspot doesn't cost extra either) Anything comparable to that on a contract based phone runs over $100 a month.

Just 1,200 min on any regular carrier will cost you more than $40, and on Virgin you get unlimited data to go with it.

That $25 a month plan Seth mentions INCLUDES unlimited data… its not an extra charge, which seems to be what you are thinking.

Picked mine up yesterday afternoon. Heres a quick comparison for those who still don't get it.

For $50 a month (after taxes) I used to get 450 min, and 300 texts… no data or anything else. ("dumbphone" on Sprint)

Now for $40 a month I get 1,200 minutes, unlimited data, unlimited texts… and with a free download from the android market I can use the device as a mobile hotspot with that unlimited data at no extra cost.

Lets try to get a similar plan on AT&T… 900 minutes for $60… Data pro plan $25 (2Gig) $20 for unlimited messaging, And $20 for tethering. Thats over $125 and it still doesn't match the $40 Virgin plan feature wise.

The phone isn't bad either, like Seth mentioned its got a 600 Mhz processor, but he didn't mention that it also has a 200 Mhz dedicated graphics processor… no iPhone 4, but its comparable to the 3GS spec wise. Couldn't be happier.
