I went to 2 AT&T stores today and they know nothing about the white iphone 4. They did not even know it was releasing.
That's what they want you to think.

You're right in that systems like EVDO can't be used with UMTS, but you're introducing inaccuracies in the way you argue it. UMTS runs over a variety of air interfaces, none of which are TDMA.
W-CDMA is a CDMA air interface, like IS-95 (which is the air interface specification that's frequently referred to by the name "CDMA", but this is misleading as the words refer to a type of multiplexing, not a specification and protocol. IS-95 is a specification and protocol. Likewise IS-136, also known as D-AMPS, was frequently called "TDMA" in the US, but both GSM and IS-136 use TDMA air interfaces, using completely different implementations. GSM's is actually wideband and frequency hopping, making it a spread spectrum TDMA system.)
UMTS runs over W-CDMA.
A modification to W-CDMA is HSDPA. This is still a CDMA air interface (it's only a modified W-CDMA.) UMTS runs over HSDPA too, and indeed that's the air interface used for UMTS by Cingular.
Yet another modification to W-CDMA is HSUPA. This is also still CDMA, and UMTS runs over that.
While I'm just throwing facts out there, UMTS can also run over 802.11, using a system called UMA. (GSM can do the same thing)
Anyway, nothing about UMTS is TDMA. It's using CDMA (except for 802.11 which is an essay by itself.) It's not the same CDMA specification and protocol as Sprint/Verizon, but it does use a CDMA-based air interface.
What are the differences? Well, the big one is that Sprint/Verizon's CDMA, which is known as IS-95 and IS-2000, and/or cmdaOne and CDMA2000, use 1.5MHz slices of spectrum, whereas W-CDMA uses 5MHz slices of spectrum. This, and other protocol and encoding changes, means W-CDMA is better at handling a variety of different types of data (in terms of the reserved bandwidth you need for audio/video, and more bursty pattern you need for web access, etc), though supposedly it degrades poorly as you go further from a tower.
For more information, take a look at Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMTS).
Yeah, I had an idea of it in my head, but you cleared it up, thanks. I guess I got confused at the part where I said that UMTS is TDMA based when really it's actually just intended for GSM networks, correct? And yeah, it bothers me, too, that IS-95 is not used more often.

For something like OS re-installs, maybe USB drives. For everything else, downloads, probably. That seems like a logical course of action. But then again, a lot of people don't like to use logic when they make decisions.
well logic is more for music creation, not really general decisions - however you can mix some great inspiring beats to help you make decisions :)

Hardly a problem. You can get a new shuffle and a 1 gig USB jump drive for alot less then the old 1 gig shuffle cost.
Yeah but who wants to keep up with 2 when you could just buy one?

Reading that story, and this thread, it's easy to see why police probably want nothing to do with any domestic dispute. I genuinely pity them! :)
The number of cops killed, during one of these "domestic" calls, used to be frightful.
They know better now.

I definitely agree about the UI inconsistencies throughout Mac OS X. It's getting pretty ridiculous actually. With all the apps looking different, it is SO completely un-mac-like. I understand the need to differentiate the consumer vs pro apps (ical vs final cut pro), but none of the consumer apps match each other, and then the Finder contradicts them all.
The problem just seems to be getting worse. Is it really that hard for Apple to just follow their own HIG?

i cant wait for the 6G iPod!
My 4G iPod has, for quite a while, been used as an external drive, since the screen is completely gone (i removed it after it shattered) and doesnt work for playing music.... i still love it though :)

if i'm paying for a digital subscription, there's no reason why i should also have to look at ads.
i can see why there are ads for a print edition, due to printing costs, paper, and shipping, but none of those exist for a digital edition.
Magazines do not sell advertising to cover the costs of printing. They make the MAJORITY of their money through advertising. You'll often see mag subscriptions for really cheap online because they want to get the mags in as many hands as possible so they can brag to publishers about readership and charge more for ads.
I would guess the high price for iPad apps as more to do with the development costs than anything else.

wow people are so worried about magnisium being used. First off you dont use the stuff in it pure form. In the pure form it is way to reactive to be used. Make an Alloy out of it an boom you got something really good.
Heck most stuff made out of alluim is not made made out pure Al. Most of the time it is an Al. The alloy metal is normally li (the lightest of all metals but highly reactive)
It be some alloy metal with it.
Heck steel is an alloy. up to about 4% carbon by weight. Most metals we used to day are some alloy.
Apple knows what they are doing.
I use to have a motorcycle that had a magnesium alloy block. Believe me that block got a heck of lot hotter than any ipod or powerbook, it took an infinite more amout of abuse, and it was as light as a feather.
Bring on the Merom, Magnesium, Macbook or Triple M book.

That's still far out in the future.
I guarantee you that iLife '11 and Mac OS X 10.7 will be delivered via CD/DVDs.
I don't think it is as far as some people may think. There are already good examples of similar systems. In the UK, most TV Channels deliver content online. The BBC were first (i think) with iPlayer. They offer their HD content via iPlayer as well.
I am sure BT made some complaints initially over the extra demand placed on them. However, the other channels followed and BT had to suck it up.
There will certainly have to be a period of transition. Especially for countries with less developed infrastructure.

Does this also apply to the late 2008/early 2009 white macbook? Or am I still limited to 4GB?
Edit: Nevermind. Reread again saw that the article stated alum Macbooks. I guess I just got a little excited there. At first glance, thought the artice was talking about all Macbooks in general...

It's funny, but wherever I go, I always see people with iPhones. My train, on plane trips between Chicago and NYC, during meetings, etc. I am amazed the number is only 5% - but I guess it's the circles that I am in.
That's because many of them are using the iPhone for purposes other than calls (emails, games, etc). Basic phones are in the pockets of their users when they're not on the phone.
