yes, but generally they suck. They are also mostly focused on streaming video (see: Verizon Vcast) because it is easier to charge for. Phone companies don't make money selling phones, they make it selling services. I don't think they're too interested in making it easy for people to download

i doubt this is true... Mac OS X is based on UNIX. So is Linux. In fact, many Linux programs will run on Mac OS X and porting Linux to Mac is generally pretty easy (though sometimes not as easy to go the other way if a Mac program has some Mac dependencies). -Josh . On 1/3/06, Jay dedman [EMAIL

I don't get it? Why does this leave all the power in Apple's hands? Because they have the Rokr phone? There are plenty of other services in the mobile media market that have more penetration than Apple. -Josh On 1/3/06, Devlon [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: True. It's a shameleaves all the

I am not up on the latest gadgets, etc. I was assuming that if mobile phone manufacturers aren't going to be a driving force in non-streamed video devices, the video iPod will be king for a while longer. Unless someone is 'up' on the latest stuff, that is all one hears about...video iPod.On

not really... don't forget Sony PSP and Creative Zen Vision. There will be more devices too, including cell phones, that play video. Oh yeah... and there's all those desktops, laptops, DVRs, media centers, etc. Apple does have the best marketing that's for sure. -Josh On 1/3/06, Devlon [EMAIL
