CMDA is not used by anybody but Verizon now Really a deal breaker as Apple doesn't want to support another receiver GSM. Top 30 markets will get LTE next year so let's hope Louisville is in the top 30. We are in the top 5 in Rats according to a USA Today story. Highway 101 along the Oregon coast is beautiful. My brother in law is buying a condo on the coast and look forward to staying there. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Profile Sent: Wednesday, October 28, 2009 10:46 AM To: Topics related to Apple and Macintosh computers Subject: Re: [MacGroup] AT&T vs Verizon 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.
