Ed,
Well by golly, my wife's family also are from Oregon!! She keeps
telling me the place is beautiful so our next trip out West will be to
Oregon and then down through California. This is the first trip I did
filming as I drove, I got good at it with the exception of the
"shake". I am hopeful that FinalCut will take much of that out. This
also is the first time I have ever used RAW in still photo's, and the
little Canon G10 also took jpg with the RAW. I wasn't a week into the
trip when the small 300 gig firewire drive and the 300 gig laptop were
full. I had to order a terabyte drive from one of the hotels and wait
for it to arrive before we could leave. Turned out Colorado had a
record breaking (30 year record) cold spell and so much snow we got
snowed in for three days. On the remainder of the trip we took 1,100
still photo's and hours of video so the terabyte was half full along
with all the other storage. I'll prepare better next time.
I sure hope you are right about the iPhone on Verizon. My wife wants
one desperately but we have a real need to have coverage as we travel
thus the reason we have different carriers. I read on Bloomberg
yesterday the analyst felt Apple was not going to go with Verizon
until 2011 due to the very negative advertising Verizon has started
against the iPhone with the other smartphones they are carrying. This
writer felt Apple was going to wait for the conversion as you
mention. I sure hope he is wrong.

The coverage issues is kind of a toss up until the cell companies
start using the old analog TV freq's. They are not going to get a
strong signal with distance from a cell tower. Verizon is starting
next year to switch to the same type of radio transmitters that AT&T
and the rest of the cell companies around the world are using one of
the big reasons there is no iPhone on Verizon though I look for that
to change next year.

Just back from a lengthly vacation, drove 6,000 miles and got within
50 miles of Oregon. Went through many states, in canyons and on
mountain tops. All in all my iPhone with AT&T and my wife's phone on
Verizon were head to head.
There were times she had to use my phone to text or call because the
Verizon had no bars, then it would be her turn and the AT&T was dead.
This was a total toss up and I am not being bias, wish I could say
that AT&T knocked the socks off Verizon but they were identical and
there were many places neither worked.
Food for thought for I always hear that AT&T doesn't have near the
network but on this trip it wasn't so.
Also, the "high speed" in most hotels was not a great deal faster than
dial-up, I imagine they are satellite fed. Only in the largest of
cities was there 3g network, even the basic network was lacking in
many places So glad to get back to civilization, I have gotten used to
all this technology and I don't like losing it.
John
