I think that means a new detailing motivation can not be found.

you have to detail those too?
What about an iPod, should I be detailing that as well? I did use Swirl and Epic on the screen to get rid of the scratches and to make it shiny , guess I already detail it, never mind.

Oh man, I liked it better when the only you had to detail was your MINI. I don't know if I could do a phone. I mean my phone does have wax on it, but not because I wanted it there .

Yes! Prima Slick is great for resisting fingerprints. I use it on my iPod screen all the time. It doesn't make it fingerprint-proof but it helps dramatically.

If you are asking about your fingerprints, Slick just may be the ticket. If on the other hand you are asking about other's prints - high voltage/low amperage electricity ought to do it!

the new york times has a good summary video report about the new iPhone, featuring clips of Jobs' keynote. not sure if this link will work, or if you have to be a subscriber or not to view the video:

http://video.on.nytimes.com/ifr_main...647.0954516025

if you can't view it there you can always watch the keynote at apple.com.

the features, like touch scrolling and pinching, look great

Cisco had the rights, but Apple and Cisco have made a contract drawing up the transfer of names.

personally, i wish they had come up with something new and different for the name, especially since it is supposedly more than a phone.

i'm an apple guy through and through... i love their industrial design and some of the software/user innovations they've come up with.

i think the iPhone is just the beginning of some cool stuff...

minidreams and i are on the same boat... once you go mac, you never go back. i thought it was incredibly geeky and annoying, but once you experience the simplicity and technology of a mac, you really wonder why you never changed earlier.

well, considering i was an amature musican running DAW systems off
powermacs at one time (like back over 10yrs ago), i can safely say that
i was also a mac fan at one time.

but over the years with different application and different needs for
wat a 'computer' needs to do, ive turned into a "i don't really care
as long as it works" fan.

im sure the iPhone will do okay for those that use their smartphones
as media gizmos more than for work.
