Will there be a 3TB internal HD anytime soon?

Since reading that many PCs are limited to using a 2.1 TB hard drive, I'm wondering if that is the reason there isn't a rush of internal HDs larger that 2 TB hitting the market. Seagate has a 3TB external drive out, but it is the only 3 TB device available. It wasn't that long after 1.5 TB HDs hit the market that 2 TB came along. Anybody in the know have info about this? My 2 TB internal HD is approaching being full and I'm wondering what to do next. I suppose I'll have to separate items on to different hard drives. I bought and tried using a 4 bay Drobo for Time Machine backup, but it worked poorly and really upset my Mac Pro...it would not shut off or turn on, kernel panics, etc., so I got rid of it.

There is WD 3TB, it ships with a Highpoint 2-port controller, needed for XP users, Apple addressed the 2TB limitations with GPT, which Windows Vista/7 support but only for data drives.
PCs have had to partition off drives or RAID arrays (say 4 x 1TB) due to booting MBR limitation.
And Microsoft has FAQ on GPT. There are few non-Apple motherboards with Unified EFI support which is also needed to boot from GPT.
People with Mac Pro have been using volumes of 8TB already. If I were you I'd look at the OWC RAID case or move away from FireWire and build an SATA setup.
RAID0 is fine, but you do need backups, and even if you want to use TimeMachine, still good to add or even more important, clone your volume(s) with SuperDuper.
Rush? it takes time, and seems like 2TB was yesterday, and 1TB is about 3 yrs old?
PCs are not limited to 2TB though. Master Boot Record, yes.

Will there be an E3000 firmware update anytime soon?

I wonder if an updated firmware for E3000 would come out. Current one have few web-interface issues at QoS, DHCP, Custom Routes and WiFi setup pages.
Also would be nice if there would be an option to turn off Guest SSID for WiFi.
BTW your forum does not work corectly with Opera.

Please let me know the current firmware version on the router? If it is the old one then try to download the last version from the Linksys/Cisco website.
After download here is the link to upgrade the firmware:

After upgrading the firmware it is recommended to reset the router. Here are the steps to reset:
Push the reset button on router for 30 seconds, turn off the router wait for 30 seconds and then power it on. Power light should blink when you perform the reset process.
Once you have successfully reset your Gateway, you will need to reconfigure the settings again and the check the status...

Will there be $99 WHITE iPhone 3G anytime soon?

I hope there will be... but something tells me I am a fool if I really expect it to happen soon.
What's your opinion?

no, you can get a 16 GB 3G in white for 150$ while supplies last (Maybe Best Buy or something). They never made the 8GB in white and probably never will.

Will the LG Lucid get Jelly Bean anytime soon?

I want to know, is the LG lucid going to get the newest version of Android anytime soon. LG tells me to go to Verizon to answer this question.

It has NOTHING to do with shareholders.
Verizon does not develop and manufacturer the device. LG does... It's their job to update their phones, and submit an update for testing. If LG doesn't you will not get an update. Same goes for ANY manufacturer out there.
Verizon doesn't care if you get updated or not. They make money off the services the provide. They don't care if you are on 2.3.6, 4.0, 4.1.1 and such. LG makes money from the sale of the device, and the Lucid probably didn't sell well enough for LG to make an attempt to update the device.
Actually it's selling quite well. And while my little area means nothing in the grand scheme it's actually one of the most popular phones being bought at the local Verizon store. And it's certainly the most popular budget phone.
I have this phone and I'm fine with it. I'm not sure what the difference is between Gingerbread 2.3.6 and ICS but I'm fine with the current OS. Probably my main beefs are the app layout choices and I hate the talk bubble in messaging. And yes I realize I can get a 3rd party app for messaging but I shouldn't need to. My old phone was an LG Ally and I liked the simpler messaging layout.

Will there be an iPod touch six released soon

will there be an iPod touch six released soon

Well we don't know, we aren't Apple.
But i would say no. They just released the fifth generation in September last year which was a big update in comparision to the 4th gen one.
And they released a new 16 GB model like a month ago.

Will Firefox support Youtube in 60 fps anytime soon?

Will Firefox support watching HD-videos on Youtube in 60 fps in the near future?

I get 720p60 and 1080p60 offered in the current Nightly build that has MSE enabled by default.
*media.mediasource.enabled = true
*http://www.youtube.com/html5
Otherwise Google offers the 60fps choice via 720p60 and 1080p60 only to Google Chrome.
*https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbsGxdAPhjv9UrLo19pS8teoRKj7funAy
It doesn't work smoothly though and there are frames not painted for me on Linux.

Will there be a new ipod classic released soon?

Am thinking of buying a new classic but have seen that the nano, shuffle etc have just been upgraded. Are there any plans or expectation that the classic will be refreshed soon too?
Thanks.

Well Apple just made their announcement for the new iPod Touches but doesn't look like any changes were made to the Classic.

Will there be a Vista compatible version RoboHelp soon?

Hi everyone,
I'm working for a large enterprise which is soon going to
migrate to Vista (Now Windows 2000) and we are trying to find Vista
compartible versions of our softwares.
Thus I would like to know if a full Vista compatible version
of RoboHelp is going to appear in 2007?
Hope someone could help me.
Thanks a lot

Hi M(ike) and welcome to the RH community. You may want to
check out
this
link posted by John Daigle after he attended the sneek peep at
the next version of RH earlier this year. It will support vista.
What no one on these forums can answer is when the next version
will be available. I guess even within Adobe this is a closely
guarded secret for commercial reasons. I think you'll just have to
keep your ear close to the ground.

Will there be a more durable Mighty Mouse soon?

With all of Apple's continuous improvement of everything, and the general durability of their products, why have they let the VERY FRAGILE Mighty Mouse go so long without improvements?
It's a major topic of discussion on the Internet that its trackball gets clogged very easily and stops working, and I find that even if I follow everybody's instructions as to how to get the track ball working again, it eventually can't be repaired.
I'm tired of buying an expensive new mouse every nine months or so. Does Apple have any plan to manufacture a mouse that will last a normal length of time?

Nobody outside of Apple knows what Apple's plans are.
If you don't like the Mighty Mouse, vote with your wallet by buying one of the dozens of other mice and trackballs that are available.

Will there be a carrier profile update for T-Mobile on the iPhone 5?

Will there be a carrier update any time soon for T-Mobile on the iPhone 5?

Prove it.
from the very link you yourself provided:
"T-Mobile's iPhone 5 shares the same model number (A1428) as the version that other GSM carriers sell. This is important because the T-Mobile iPhone 5 can connect to the carrier's existing HSPA+ 42 network, but the current iPhone 5 can't. Support also can't be enabled via a software update, Apple says.
However, after April 14 when the T-Mobile iPhone 5 goes on sale, all GSM iPhones will have the radio technology to connect to T-Mobile's 4G network. That means if you buy and AT&T or unlocked iPhone 5 after that date, and you end up on T-Mobile's network, you won't get the abysmal 2G data rates of the carrier's EDGE network (which you may remember from iPhone 1)."

Will there be a fix for Firefox's problems with Hotmail. I have gone back to 3.5.9 but mostly I am disappointed by the lack of action on this serious problem where a major and critical feature of a major international website is unavailable in the Firefox

Will there be a fix for Firefox's problems with Hotmail. I have gone back to 3.5.9 but mostly I am disappointed by the lack of action on this serious problem where a major and critical feature of a major international website is unavailable in the Firefox browser.

We've reached out to the Hotmail team and they've determined that this is a bug in their code. (It was masked by a timing issue in 3.5 that was fixed in 3.6.) We've worked with them to develop a fix but they may not have deployed it yet.

Will there be a HBO Go app for the Apple TV anytime soon?

Will there be a HBO Go app for the 3rd generation Apple TV anytime soon? I am not talking about Airplay or iPad/iPhone mirroring. I am talking about a little box icon in the Apple TV menu like Netflix or Youtube... but for HBO Go.

Hi Parker,
Some friendly advice.. if you're just after points, or if you actually ask for them, perhaps you're looking at the purpose of these boards incorrectly. The boards are here to help fellow users of Apple products. The points are a nice reward, but they are optional. Mellow out and accept that you won't get points for every answer.
In this specific case, your first response was quite accurate and helpful, but the rest, in my opinion, were incorrect and based on insufficient knowledge of the subject. Additionally, in speculating about future Apple hardware releases, you may have actually breached the terms and conditions of use for these boards.
Just something to keep an eye on.

The warranty for the iPhone is not and has never been International.
Warranty and support are ONLY valid in the country of origin. The only exception is the EU where the entire EU is treated as one country.
If the device will be used in India, buy it in India.
An unlocked iPhone will work on any supported GSM carrier world wide. The LTE portion of a US purchased, unlocked iPhone is unlikely to work outside North America as it does not support the appropriate bands used in other countries.
