o2 twitter states tarrif prices will be the same so im guessing the 16gb will be free on the £45 a month contract.

If you get the unlimited mobile internet bolt on from o2 - how will they know if you use it for tethering?

They either don't look for it, or don't care in my experience. But I imagine they could tell fairly easily by doing a little traffic analysis on your activities.

You have to remember that mobile operators are so interlinked. For example O2 are part of Telefonica, who also have large holdings in other operators around the world..

Told you it was a stupid question!

Vodafone do it based on your browser agent. Then reduce image quality to save bandwith.

They'll just extend Mobile Broadband technology to it - QoS etc.

I did want to order SL for delivery this week.. but from what I can see that's a September time delivery..

That happens on the iPhone regardless, I noticed the drop in quality before I ever tethered

The screen is OLED ?

The TomTom app looks really interesting.. but how accurate will it be? The exisiting GPS/Google maps has actually been really useful finding places in Liverpool but it can get inaccurate (i,e your position wont update for 5-10 secs etc)... I can imagine this wouldn't work with it very well..

Nope.

Not really. O2 will be listing prices tonight.

There is a Sat Nav app already available, only if jailbroken though. You do not have to download maps on the go either, download cities/countries through ur pc, and it is suprisingly accurate. I used it on the way to school this morning.

No early upgrades tho.

Upgrading from Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard.

If your Intel-based Mac is running Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard, just purchase Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard when it’s available and follow the simple installation instructions.

Upgrading from Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger.

If your Intel-based Mac is running Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger, purchase the Mac Box Set (when available), which is a single, affordable package that includes Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard; iLife ’09, with the latest versions of iPhoto, iMovie, GarageBand, iWeb and iDVD; and iWork ’09, Apple’s productivity suite for home and office including Pages, Numbers and Keynote.

That to me sounds like you MUST have Leopard installed to install Snow Leopard (for the $29 price). No No No No No No No No No No No No!

What memory cards does the new iphone use SD ?

They don't use any. Well, it's fully internal flash.

So just a couple of differences then.

My Macbook also as backlit keyboard and glass multi touchpad. So basicly the 13" Macbook Pro as a better screen, SD card slot and FW800 over a Macbook. I would have thought it would have to have better graphics as well to deserve the tittle pro.

Goto this page...

...and underneath the 17inch price click the Compare button. This then brings up a table with the differences between the Macbook and Macbook Pro range. One other (slight) difference I missed it seems is DDR3 in the Pro vs DDR2 in the non Pro.
