I read a while back that eventually we will be able to save the original video when editing. Any word on when this is coming? 3.1?

@PUHPUHPUHPENIS Ya that would be sweet if iChat was added in the 3.1 firmware. In fact this has rumored for quite sometime now. This is one of the best apps on Mac and it would be awesome if this was ported to iPhone and the new iPod now that they are going to put a camera in it. This might be something in 4.0 though since this would be huge.

No, they make profit out of the hardware, not the software!

I still don’t get why people think an iTablet will be coming. Cool if it does but people, it’s an iPod event. Why would they release it an iPod event when they have a computer event in the spring usually?

Other way around. Apple makes margins on hardware like iPhone and iPod touch. Music, apps, etc. are sold at low margin to promote hardware sales. Always been that way AFAIK.

Vert true “kick butt applications” that’s half the reason they do give them out for free during the back to school specials. That and to finish off the old iPods and get ready for the new ones that we will se tomorrow!!!

I think it's been pretty common knowledge that they don't make as much of the iPod Touch device, but basically use it as a sales tool for making money on music and apps at iTunes! They could almost give them away and make money!

i also believe (just what i think) that the reason why they are having so much trouble is because they are adding an internal camera along with an external and that way they are going to make an application that comes with the ipod called ichat mobile where you can actually talk to people on the ipod and it would be good quality

Actually, there is not a whole lot of profit margin in the iPod market. They make most of their money off of music, apps, accessories, etc. Producing 1000 units probably cost them over $100,000.

Wow that’s crazy. They have put out three iterations of the iPhone with no camera hangs that we know of and they mess it up on their fourth try at a device with a camera? I can’t imagine this would cause too much of a delay though, they’ll sort it out quickly.

Probably costs them about $100 to make a thousand units so it’s no skin off of their back They will be fine come tomorrow.
