  1. MacTheForum is down at the moment while we give it a huge upgrade. It'll be back online in a day or so.
  2. Apple overtakes IBM on the Fortune 500 — still a ways behind HP. money.cnn.com/magazines/fort…
  3. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission is looking to smack Apple for "misleading" 4G promotion. accc.gov.au/content/index.…
  4. @deborah_b Happy Birthday Deb!!!!!!!
  5. @clinton1550 Exactly. Particularly if we want to use iPads to create content and to consume it. With 64GB it's pretty much either/or.
  6. @clinton1550 I don't know. I just find 64GB very limiting, and I would have thought the economics would allow it by now.
  7. @m_atthew @thespurofthings It is interesting that they cover just about every form of 4G used, except the very one we happen to use here
  8. @freney I know. It was interesting that they plugged it today though.
  9. @thespurofthings Hardly any 4G devices do, though. I kind of doubt 1800MHz is going to end up being the standard.
  10. @thespurofthings Why?
  11. I'm going to admit one big disappointment with The New iPad: I wanted a 128GB version.
  12. Aust price on 16GB WiFi iPad 2 is $A429 which is less than the US price + GST.
  13. @clinton1550 Slight improvement I think. I'll have to see the full range of pricing to know.
  14. @clinton1550 Yeah, saw that.
  15. Australian site has pricing "Starting from $A539" so in line with US pricing plus GST looks like.
  16. There's a "Pre-Order Now" link on the Australian Apple site, but the Store is still down. I knew you'd want to know that.
  17. @clinton1550 For some maybe.
  18. Of course as soon as I have Australian pricing on this stuff I'll tweet it. Because that's my thing. I'm Dinky-di.
  19. and we're done. Thank you linespeople, thank you ballpeople.
  20. "The new iPad" is a stupid name. That's right, you read it here fifteenth.
