Lets not let alliegences ruin an otherwise open discussion about an engineering marvel.

@ Millhouse, thats one helluva small board. In reality, you have to take your hat off to Apple. I'm not a fan because they have a seriously locked down OS, but the technology that they have crammed into these new gen iPhones is unreal. And you've also got to hand it to them - that's one slim phone.... At least when you brick it with an N900, you can actually use it as a keystone for a bridge. You brick the iPhone and you could only just about use it as a coaster!

Cr**p? Crisp? I'd say it's pretty crisp personally.

Makes you wonder really, when the technology exists to allow the multifunctionality of phones like the N900 and the iPhone, how long will actually be before we are all using PC's with equivalent power to your desktop at home on the move, and you pick it up and put it into your pocket....

Intel have just released the latest processor, the i7 980X which runs 6 dedicated native cores. All with Hyperthreading technology. Meaning in Task Manager you see 12 cores. Sick.
