true, but i kinda dislike those G designations as the are very non-informative. i keep seeing the local press refering to hsdpa as super-3G, but thats not given. as such, its much better to read the actual product specs as they at least list the proper designations. and just to deliver a small kick towards apple, thats why i hate hearing about their "superdrive". hell, even their refreshing of products throw in a wrench at times. sure someone is using a macbook pro, but what "generation" macbook pro?! but then im a geek. to most the under-the-hood stuff will fly by them at mach 16. they just want their gizmo to do what they ask of it without fail or hickups. i guess its the same thing with cars. some love to talk about CCM's, torque and all that, while others just want it to drive them flawlessly from a to b, and look good while doing so. i just wish that computer stats where as fashionable as car stats... _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
