Apple is shipping computers with 18-bit color panels in them, instead of 24-bit ones. (That means 6 bits per RGB channel, not 8, or for B&W nuts like me, 64 grays instead of 256!) That's not a QA glitch, that's a conscious decision to downgrade a component and hope that nobody notices or cares. Caveat emptor and all, but if there's one thing you expect from a mac, it's great graphics.

It wasn't so much their recent price problems with their customers that got me...it was that this was a bug QA either could have or should have caught and which they shouldn't have shipped with. More than just screwing early adopters on price, Apple has now moved on to screwing them on the actual product content and function as well. Hi, Dave.

Like you, I recently stopped into a Cingular store to check out the iPhone and fell in love immediately! As soon as I can convince myself that it can synchronize with outlook effectively, I plan to purchase one. --- Perhaps I should wait a few weeks though to see if the price drops another $200 --- Hey Alex,

The world is crying out for this feature but Apple is resting on their laurels. Yeah, Apple really needs to release an ipod that doesn’t stutter while you rapidly press the centre button.
