Their OS is outdated and it will be extremely difficult for them to add advanced features. It is like putting a V-8 in a VW bug - looks cool on paper, but I would hate to drive it! (The fact that reboots are required when removing applications still kills me to this day!) However, I am a BB user both now and into the foreseeable future. For me it is all about email and the keyboard. They have the best Exchange integration, email client and physical keyboards around. The other platforms still have not matched RIM in these three aspects, but have far surpassed RIM on the fun side. Short summary: If your primary interest is email and business use, the BB is difficult to beat. If you care about other things like appstores, videos and other fun things then you are better served to look elsewhere.

Trees gives an area a life and when they're gone, it leaves a lonely deserted looking village. How I wish this won't happen again.

This is totally amazing! Were you in a similarly precarious position when you took this shot? If I stare at this for a while I find the shadows seem to move on me, or perhaps it's that my eyes are drawn to different parts of the shot, and then back to the people... Just wow! Wow, just wow!

They do a wonderful job of collecting the best pictures around. I finally added their RSS feed to my news reader. I'm looking forward to seeing all the great things they share with their visitors.

Canon 5D Mk II Announced by Wolfman-K http://phatphotographer.com/?p=162&cpage=1#comment-57 Wolfman-K Wed, 17 Sep 2008 16:26:54 +0000 http://phatphotographer.com/?p=162#comment-57 Word is the asking price will be $2700 for this bad boy. I thought it was interesting that Canon put a movie mode in their flagship pro camera, when Nikon dropped it into a prosumer model. I'm not sure what that means other than I need to find someone to spot me three grand. :) Word is the asking price will be $2700 for this bad boy.
