Wish List in the upcoming Apple's firmware update

Just to name a few basic one:
1.Calendar - To add/edit calendar.
1.Mail - To read/write emails. I can read my email offline.
2.Tasks - To organize/manage daily tasks.
3.Notes - To take notes.
With WiFi build-in, its abundant that IPod Touch can do. It will be a pity if we can only use it for iTunes Music Store and Web-browsing.

Me too!
What makes Iphone expensive than Ipod Touch are the phone/text capabilities, bluetooth, build-in camera... I don't see the reasons to remove the Iphone's widgets from Ipod Touch. Nevertheless, I do hope that one day, widgets from Iphone will be made available to Ipod Touch so that we can all enjoy the device in its completeness.
Yah. By the way, it would be excellent if we can have an eBook reader. With this, we can read ebooks and listen to music on the go. It will be a perfect combination.

  • What's on your wish list for the NIke+ sportkit?

    Here's my wish list so far. What's on your wish list for the Nike+ Nano sportkit? (Already sent to Apple and Nike+ feedback so please don't tell me to do that. Apple & Nike+ do read the forum. )
    Nike+:
    I would like to see:
    -- a date on the start of my goals (rather than just "you have 16 days to go").
    --previous goal start and end dates (I have completed goals in half the time I gave myself but it doesn't show that)
    --MOST IMPORTANT--some way to show improvement in pace (or distance, or time). At the moment you don't see what your previous cumulative pace was. You don't even know whether it's getting better or worse. You have to guess on the basis of looking back at each individual run.
    --a simple, foolproof way to re-upload run data to Nike+
    Nano:
    I would like to see:
    --a two-step way to end a run, rather the current four step Pause> Menu> spin the dial>End
    --since the sensor obviously records steps (you can see step count in the xml file), let the users see that step count in their totals and upload the steps data to Nike+

    - support for podcast playing as well as typical control of now playing - the ability to move the item playing back if you miss something (say, while listening to a podcast or audiobook). I like to catch up on my podcasts while I run, then listen to music at the end of the run. I am kludging my way through with playlists right now, one for each day, but I'd really rather not. Really there should be a "Music" menu option so that you could choose to listen to an artist or an album or a genre - your choice - rather than just a playlist or shuffle songs.
    - support for other shoes, even legacy Nike shoes, perhaps with a rigid arch support insole or something that you can slip in that has a pocket for the sensor? I realize that Nike is likely looking at this as a way to make people buy higher margin shoes, but I'd pay extra for a Nike branded insole like that, too.
    - I agree with the option for a non-flash site.
    - The ability to turn off the power song feature, or at least customize some of the features. I'd prefer a quick trip to the main menu with a press and hold, say, with a menu item on the end of the main menu to return to the workout data (sort of like the "Now Playing" menu item) so that I can change music selections, change backlight timing, whatever.
    - I'd love to be able to access workout data on the PC without having to connect to the internet.
    - If you are listening to a podcast or audiobook, I'd like the spoken announcements ("you have 10 minutes to go") to pause the playback rather than speak over it, or at least give me the option to do so.
    I've only had it a week; I am sure that I will come up with more as I use it more.

    My mini with IOS 7.0.6 is not showing an option for wish list in the options. What is happening?

    The three Rs to IOS, try them in order until the issue is resolved;
    Restart - Press and hold the Power button until the red Power Off stripe appears. Swipe to power off. Press and hold the Power button to turn the device back on.
    Reset - Press & hold the Power and Home buttons simultaneously, ignoring the red power off slider, until the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons.
    Restore - Connect the device to the Mac or PC with which it is usualy synced and use the iTunes app to restore the device to the factory settings. You can then restore the device with a previously made backup or set it up as new.

    Hi Jen.  My daughter just compleated her nursing program and is now working as a full time nurse.  Focus and study hard and soon you will be there too.  Now to the problem at hand.  I have the same problem.  I gave up on it and satisfied myself with my iPod without the upgrade.  Reason being I've read so many posts of people having problems after the upgrade.  But I'm sure other factors are involved.  Nevertheless here is the fix most say works to solve the problem:  What ever virus protection you have installed on your computer, disable it.  Then try to install the update. After that enable the protection. I had Kaspersky, and it does it's job well. The thinking is, the virus protection is blocking the upgrade.  Hope this works.   Charlie

  • I downloaded and installed the: Mac mini EFI Firmware Update 1.6 on my mac mini running 10.8.1, was I correct in doing this ?

    I downloaded and installed the: Mac mini EFI Firmware Update 1.6 on my mac mini running 10.8.1, was I correct in doing this ?
    I didn't see this update come up in "Software Update"
    If I was not meant to install this update, would it cause ANY damage at all to my mac ( this is my second as I dropped the first )
    If I were to re-install ML would this fix any errors that this may have caused ?
    The bottom of the page I link to says:
    Boot ROM or SMC Version Information: MM51.0077.10
    But when I click on "About this Mac" it says:
    Boot ROM Version:          MM51.0077.B10
      SMC Version (system):          1.75f0
    What does the additional "B" mean?
    My mac mini is the Mid 2011 Model.
    I am sorry if I am sounding super paranoid about this, but I don't want to have caused any permanent damage.

    Hello,
    It's somewhere between almost impossible & impossible to install the wrong EFI Update with all the checks it does!

    No, Firmware is unaffected by any OS change or re-install.

  • Battery Life and the 1.4f10 SMC Firmware Update.

    Since the 1.4f10 SMC Firmware Update makes the fan to run constantly at a low speed, will that affect the battery life?
    Anyone notice any big decrease on battery life?
    thanks.
    Lok

    The fan should account for a pretty small amount of total energy consumption in any notebook computer (my guess would be about 2%) - but that assumes it kicks on once in a while and not running constantly.
    Since the upgrade, my fan has been running non-stop while on AC with peripherals plugged in, but not as much when I disconnect everything and run on battery. I think the battery is driaining faster but I do not have good data pre-upgrade. It would be great if someone could post a pre and post upgrade battery performance test. If you do, make sure to do a callibration first: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86284

  • Anybody else having trouble running the GeForce 7300 GT Firmware update?

    The GeForce 7300 GT firmware upgrade doesn't seem to work for me.
    I have a 2.66GHz Mac Pro w/ 3GB RAM that was purchased back in May. It has the stock 250GB HD (no partitioning) in drive bay 1 and two 300GB drives for audio files and iTunes in drive bays 2 & 3. I am only using one monitor. While viewing the system profile, my GeForce 7300 GT has these specs:
    Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de)
    Device ID: 0x0393
    Revision ID: 0x00a1
    ROM Revision: 3004
    The update downloads and installs fine through Software Update, but as soon as I run it to actually begin the update process, I get this message:
    Necessary resources are missing, corrupt, or you do not have the correct permissions.
    Delete the Geforce 7300 GT Firmware Update and re-download it and run it again.
    item: 6
    I have re-downloaded it a number of times (either thru Software Update or direct from the Apple site) and I've verified/repaired permissions with disk utility as well, but I still get the same result. I've had no issues at all with my video since owning this machine, so I'm at a loss as to why this is happening.
    Any ideas?

    Hi All,
    Some basic chunk of our monitor settings are stored
    in PRAM, now I can't think of any specifics that will
    result in the error massage you got but still for a
    real "clean" update try resetting PRAM
    (<Command-Option-P-R> before the gray screen) and
    then applying the update.
    Some more about PRAM

  • CS5.5 Gripes/CS6 Wish List (from the perspective of an FCP switcher)

    I have been a Final Cut Pro user for more than 10 years (starting with version 1.2 on a 500 MHz G4).  Final Cut Pro X is a disaster, but that’s a well-covered topic for a different forum.  After experimenting with Premiere Pro CS5.5 for a few months, I am ready to make the switch for all of my future projects.
    I make a living editing video.  I don’t, however, work for a big company, and I don’t have a lot of money to spend on third-party software or hardware.  Much of my work is shot on DSLRs and delivered online.  That may put me in the category of “pro-sumer” to some, but I wouldn’t be making the switch if I didn’t require a more professional alternative to FCPX to do my job.
    I also don’t think “pro” has to be synonymous with clunky and ugly.  (I’m looking at you, Avid.)  When Final Cut was young, it was fun, intuitive, and sturdy.  It became a robust, professional NLE over time.  I think Premiere Pro is on that path now.
    I like the look, the feel, and the functionality of CS5.5.  It’s not quite Apple-slick, but it’s very much at home on a Mac.  Overall, it’s an upgrade to FCP7 and a very strong alternative to FCPX.  I have high hopes for CS6.
    But this is not a comprehensive review.  It is just a list of negatives:  my gripes, wishes, and personal preferences.  My list of positives would be much longer, but my concern right now is with CS6 and the improvements that I hope it delivers.  As I am new to Premiere, it's quite possible that I am mistaken about certain functionalities or lack thereof, but I thoroughly researched each point in the help docs and forums before posting this.
    My primary system is a 3.2 GHz iMac 21” (2010) with 8 GB RAM, 512MB VRAM (ATI Radeon HD), running Mac OS X 10.7 with external Firewire 800 drives and a DisplayPort-to-HDMI external display.
    MAJOR ISSUES
    Hardware acceleration support for ATI GPUs
    There are rumors that Apple will be switching back to nVidia, but all recent iMacs have ATI and only ATI cards.
    Background rendering (or at least improved rendering options)
    Background rendering is probably FCPX’s most impressive feature and Adobe needs to catch up.  However, even if true background rending can’t be achieved, there should be an auto-render option (after a set idle time), partial rendering (if you cancel a render, keep everything that has been rendered up until that point), and more render options (e.g. render all and render selected). Regarding that last point, I think the whole work area concept should be dropped.  It makes sense for other apps, particularly for animation, but it just gets in the way of more important timeline functions while offering little functionality beyond being a clumsy way to control the area to be rendered.  At the very least, have a way to hide it.
    Full-screen preview
    Maximizing the program frame just isn’t the same (although the grave accent key function may be reason enough to switch to Premiere).  Full-screen preview isn’t just a nifty function for demo-ing sequences.  It’s a big part of the way I work.
    DisplayPort/Thunderbolt out to HDMI
    It may be that a third-party card is required for proper color correction on an external display, but there’s no reason this feature shouldn’t exist.
    Thumbnail images/show frames bug
    This one drives me crazy. I’ve tested this on 3 different Mac systems with various hardware configurations. Thumbnail images in the bins and frame images in the timeline seem to be recreated every time a project is opened, even though the thumbnail image files in the media cache folder don’t actually appear to get rewritten. It’s as if there is no cache at all (even for the most recently viewed bins and timelines segments).  It can’t be an intentional functionality for saving hard drive space because the cache files continue to take up more and more space.
    Open multiple projects simultaneously
    I know that you can cut and paste between projects but being able to open multiple projects at the same time is a very useful feature of FCP7.
    Magic Mouse/Magic Trackpad scrolling
    Premiere Pro is a cross-platform system and impressively so, but there need to be a few Mac-specific interface adjustments, the most important of which is support for the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad scrolling.  I use a Magic Mouse.  (It’s an irritating device sometimes, but once you get used to it, it’s hard to live without it.)  When I’m in a window, I expect a flick up or down to scroll up or down -- in every situation, every time, including the timeline.  Unless I stop using all other Mac apps, I will never get accustomed to the timeline suddenly flying left or right when I want to scroll up or down. Also, here’s a chance for Adobe to fix a problem that FCP7 shared:  When you scroll up or down in the effect control window using the mouse, the drop-down effect controls sometimes twirl all over the place if the mouse happens to float over them. As it is, it very easy to throw settings into random disarray without even realizing it just by scrolling through the pane.
    The timeline:  selection indication, icons, and general improvements
    It is very difficult to discern at a glance what, if anything, is selected in the timeline. Transitions always look selected!  Audio tracks should be a different color or otherwise more distinct. There should be an option to show frames only without any text. The icons for track options are small, crowded, and ugly.  Some of the editing icons are too similar, namely edit and ripple edit, although the excellent status bar at the bottom of the application goes a long way towards making up for this.  Simply put, the timeline could use some polish.  Don’t be afraid to steal from Apple on this one.  Keep the tracks; just make it easier on the eyes!
    Conforming audio
    The ability of CS5.5 to work natively with DSLR footage is awesome, but it’s not fully DSLR native if it has to pre-render a major component of the footage before it can play, even if it’s just the audio.
    Media loading
    When launching a project, it can take a long time for all the media in the project to “load” as tracked in the status bar.  I’m sure there’s a reason for this, but since the program is able to determine which source media files are missing before this step (and gives you the option to reconnect them), what is it doing and why must it load every clip in the project, even those not in use by any sequences?
    Page up/page down and arrow key commands
    For starters, the current page up/page down key functions should take the CTI to the next cut in the sequence, not the next cut in the track that happens to be targeted, which can be way down timeline.  In FCP7, I frequently navigated cut to cut with the up and down arrow keys.  I’ve avoided customizing the keyboard commands to match FCP7 --  I would rather endure some hardship and learn the proper Adobe commands -- but this one is flat-out backwards.  The page up/down keys should page through the timeline (left to right and right to left), while the up and down arrow keys should take over the clip to clip function (assuming the targeted track issue is fixed).  Currently, the down arrow takes you to the very end of the timeline, a function already duplicated by and better suited for the “end” key.
    Bin management and clip relationships
    Deleting an item from a bin should not delete it from the timeline, but this is part of a bigger problem, which is the whole master file versus instance versus subclip versus dup clip thing. There aren’t any good indicators regarding the relationships of these clips, and there are few ways to adjust them.  If clips are going to be connected, then they should be fully connected.  For instance, changing the name of a clip in the bin should change it in the timeline.  Adding an effect or trimming should affect the corresponding clips between bin and timeline.  Otherwise, the clips should just be completely separate instances.  I haven’t been able to find an option to turn a clip into an independent instance, although I have to think it exists.  Also, editing an instance of a title does change every other instance of that title throughout the sequence.  I would prefer to be able to edit them separately without having to duplicate them in the title editor.
    Bin effects
    Related to the above, it should be possible to add effects to clips in bins or keep effects on clips added to bin from timeline.  It would also be nice to be able to group effects together in bins for a specific project.  The effects window is better suited for global collections.
    Clearer visual indicators that a clip has been adjusted in the effect controls panel
    Even with the effects panel visible, you have to take a close look to see if there have been any adjustments to the standard settings. An indicator on the clip in the timeline itself would be useful.
    Snapping should include the CTI
    It should also include the blade tool, although the Cmd-K option to cut at the CTI position does make this less of an issue.
    Smoother scrubbing
    Scrubbing is pretty awful.  While this is understandable with native footage, FCPX somehow manages to make this silky smooth at full resolution.
    Color correction shape mask and better color correction in general
    Simplify the primary functions of the 3-way color correction effect.  Keep all the rarely used adjustments out of the way.  I use Magic Bullet for some purpose, but I’ve always done most of my color correction within FCP.  Put the most common adjustments front and center (or up top, as it may be).  The highlights/mid-tone/shadows drop-down is inconsistent in what controls it pertains to.
    FCPX’s color correction is actually one of its more underrated features.  The way it allows you to layer corrections is dead-simple yet as powerful as anything in FCP7 or Premiere.  Stick with the 3 wheels, but rely less on hard to control tonal ranges and add simple keyframe-able shape masks for secondary color correction.
    Better support for shared media access
    AVID is king in this arena and Adobe needs to improve.  It should be possible for multiple editors to safely work on the same project files and share media over a server.
    MINOR ISSUES
    More vertically compact playback/edit control area in source and program panes
    Make room for either a taller timeline or bigger previews.  The virtual scrubber and shuttle controls are the nifty things you drag with the mouse the first time you ever use an NLE and never touch again.
    Larger icons in icon view
    Remember size and position of bin windows
    Playback resolution setting indicator
    There should be an always-visible indicator of the playback res setting in the preview pane that’s easy to adjust without right-clicking.
    Better markers for sequences and clips
    Include colors and more keyboard shortcut control.
    Clip sliding with keyboard commands
    “Opt-,” (that’s Option-comma) should cause a clip collision, not overwrite.  Either that, or “,” and “.” should slide, while “Opt-,” should overwrite.  Opt-arrow should only extend an adjoining clip if in the middle of two clips.  Basically, this whole arrangement should be re-thought.
    Project browser should auto refresh/sort.
    Option-drag on a Mac should always be copy, not move.
    Copy is currently command-drag in the project browser.
    Stop auto-save from interrupting adjustments in timeline.
    Ideally, the auto-save should just be a background function, but it should at least wait until you’re not in the middle of dragging something.
    Add ability to select a cut directly and add default transition.
    CTI control
    If you move the CTI while it’s in play mode, it should continue to play from that spot after you release the mouse, not stop there.
    Show number of frames being adjusted during keyframe adjustments.
    Enable/disable specific effect parameters/keyframes.
    Clearing an effect should clear keyframes as well.
    Or have an option to clear both.
    Position controls
    There should be a preference to make the default position 0.0 x 0.0 (as opposed to 50% of whatever the resolution happens to be), and include a reset button.
    Through-edit indicator in timeline
    And a quick way to join clips, such as a right-click menu option.
    Border controls for images
    Auto save location preference and functionality
    In FCP7 I set the number of auto saves to keep to the maximum of 100 and Premiere can go even higher.  I have always used this feature as an additional backup and archive system, which has come in very handy.  Those files add up, however.  So, I prefer to auto-save to an external drive.  Also, auto saves in Premiere continue to occur whenever there are unsaved changes.  This means that if you make a small adjustment and then leave Premiere for a while, it will keep auto saving the same iteration, which is not only inefficient but leads to my next point….
    Tame the bouncing dock icon on auto save
    While using other apps, there’s no need for the dock icon to bounce every time Premiere performs an auto save.
    More/clearer control over cache locations
    There should also be an option to reset the cache/render file locations to their defaults.
    Export source range
    When exporting, remember the last-used setting of the export source range (or just dump the whole work area thing as I previously suggested).  It’s too easy to cut off a portion of the video when the export defaults back to the work area every time.
    Larger timecode display
    After spending hours and hours editing, the current timecode for clips and sequences is something you want to be able to track without squinting.  Use the letters h,m,s and f instead of colons.
    Simple slug
    Creating a black matte works okay, but it involves a few extra steps.
    Snapping toggle
    FCP allows you to quickly toggle snapping while dragging a clip.  Upon releasing the clip, the snap toggle returns to its original state.  Premiere could use this fucntion, but I suggest something simpler.  Holding down the “S” key should always turn snapping on regardless of toggle state, while releasing it returns it to however it was set before.
    Ability to dock the audio meters along top
    I like to give my timeline as much horizontal space as possible.  I’ve noticed a lot of users keep the toolbar up there, myself included.  I think it would be a good place horizontally aligned audio meters as well.
    More detailed tool tips or hover explanations in preferences
    For example:  The options regarding XMP data should make it clear that the original files will be modified by Premiere.  This caused me problems in other applications.  (After researching these settings, I understand that various Adobe applications use this information to share resources, but it’s still very unclear what the specific benefits are or what functions are lost without this option.)
    More detailed support documents
    The online support documents on the Adobe site very good.  They are nicely arranged and easy to search, but they could be more detailed and offer fuller explanations.  (Peruse the support forums and you will discover all kinds of debates that could have been easily cleared up with one concise line in a help document.)
    Icons and button design
    Icons and buttons are often too small, too similar, and too crowded throughout the interface.  Take some style tips from Apple on this one.
    NEW FEATURE WISH LIST
    Footage auto-analysis:  shot recognition, color correction, and color match
    If only Apple had just added these features and others to the FCP7 framework.  Adobe can do it better though, by using smart folders in addition to the traditional bins that we know and trust (anything besides those dreadful iMovie-style “events”).
    Effect previews
    In the 64-bit era, there has to be a quicker way to preview effects.
    Ability to render in alternate formats
    Namely ProRes or DNxHD.  This would save me considerable time on exports by allowing me to select the “use preview files” option.
    PluralEyes functionality
    Okay, I suppose I should just purchase PluralEyes...again.
    Many, many more effects!
    How about starting with the missing vignette effect?  Just because an app is “pro” doesn’t mean you should have to custom build every effect.
    Many, many more looks!
    Will most of them be cheesy looks I would never touch?  Sure...but give me some templates to play with before I tweak the look down to my exact specifications.
    More speed!
    FCPX, for all its flaws, blazes on any modern Mac.  This probably comes back to hardware acceleration, but while Premiere Pro on a Mac isn’t slow, it doesn’t blow you away.

    You hit the nail on the head, Peter.
    I recently started giving Premiere Pro CS5 a try, and was shocked by the amount of bugs and usability issues. I'm not even going as deep as you in the features, but the most glaring evidence of the lousy interface is that timecode offset bubble that appears everytime you move a clip in the timeline... the bugger appears just under your mouse pointer and won't go away, so if you try to just move a clip down a track quickly, and let go of the button ONTO the bubble, it acts as an obstacle and your drag/drop fails ! seriously, Adobe... don't tell me nobody has stumbled upon this one during beta-testing ?
    Ditto on the autosave that basicly interrupts anything you're doing. No background saving in 2011 ? At first it bothered me to no end so I disabled the autosave. And then a few hours later, Premiere crashed, and didn't even try to recover my work. I lost 2 hours of intricate work. I put autosave back on, and learned to endure the constant, annoying save dialog. And it's not like the save process is instant... even the simplest of projects takes 5 to 10 seconds to save... on an SSD... come on... let me work already...
    Of course, a headache-inducing implementation wouldn't be complete if the autosave didn't trigger even 30 seconds after a manual save. If I choose an interval of 5 minutes, just autosave 5 minutes after a manual save !
    In thumbnail view, you can reorder the clips manually. It's all fine, but you can't reorder them by name or date or length, unless you switch to list view and of course, lose the thumbnails.
    Dragging and dropping a clip in thumbnail view is a chore, because the palette doesn't scroll when the mouse reaches the edge. You know, when you want to move something at the top all the way to the bottom... so you have to drag, let go, scroll one screen, drag, let go, scroll one screen... it's a joke. Even the timeline can do it. Heck, it's a software standard, nowadays.
    Renaming a clip and pressing ENTER takes you back to... the top of the folder !?! How many times I've renamed files that were at the end of the thumbnail view, and for each clip, I had to scroll back down. Time waster.
    Want to locate a clip from the timeline, in the project ? the locate function takes you to the folder. But not to the file, you have to navigate towards it manually.
    Ditto on the up/down arrows. I haven't found a way to jump from cut to cut like in FCP7. How often do I need to jump to the starting/ending points ? much less often than jumping to a nearby cut.
    How come I can't reorder filters in the effects pane ? sorry, I can actually reorder the filters... provided I take them from the bottom and move them up. Moving effects down doesn't work. It's driving me crazy.
    Conforming happens more or less anytime. Without reason. And even if the Media Cache is already full of conformed files.
    When moving the boundaries of the work area, no timecode/offset appears. You need to let go of the button and THEN hover, then you'll know the exact time/duration.
    Try scrolling up in the timeline, it scrolls to the left (which is stupid, it should scroll up). Now scroll up on the tabs of a palette : they scroll to the right !?!
    Can't select an active track. Direct consequence : copy-pasting a clip overlaps anything that's on track 1. Say I want to duplicate clips on the same track... I can't do it.
    Copy-pasting between projects doesn't keep the transitions, only the order of the clips.
    Have you tried doing a frame freeze on a reversed clip and setting proper in/out points for the freeze ? Good luck.
    "Duplicate" command, when you right click on a thumbnail, is way too far from the cut/copy/paste commands at the top, even though they're quite related.
    The other day I transcoded footage with different audio parameters. Just the audio had changed. Upon opening the project, Premiere wanted me to locate the files, which I did. And it failed miserably. Instead, I opened the project ignoring the missing files, and then re-linked them. I pointed Premiere at the first missing file, and had to confirm the replacement. Premiere saw all the other missing files in that folder, and began prompting me FOR EACH SINGLE FILE !!! two hundred and forty three of them, precisely. Can't I have a "yes to all" button in 2012 ? and why does the relinking work inside the project and not when you open a project ?
    That was just from 3 days with Premiere Pro CS5. I still can't believe it. Just to think people bashed Final Cut Pro X, praising Premiere in comparison... Sorry, but they both have serious issues. And Premiere doesn't even have the excuse of novelty.

  • Wish list for the Helix 2?

    I realize this is a bit early, but now that there are a few Helix units out in the wild, what features would you like to see added or changed for the next ThinkPad Helix iteration?
    My personal wish list:
    Must-haves:
    - Haswell 
    - a solid desktop dock for the slate with the screen angled up toward the user at 'writing angle', 2xhdmi, 4+ usb in back.
    - lighter all around, same battery life (thanks to Haswell). How about 3lbs with keyboard?
    - at least one USB port on the slate that is not blocked by docking.
    - eraser on the included pen!
    - SD or uSD card slot
    Nice to have:
    - a touch-cover like product. Make the mounting bracket slots magnetic and use those for the screen cover as well.
    - Firmware update: option to not lock the digitizer if pen is in silo.
    - virtual bezel to have more screen space when docked (see Intel reference design)
    - option to keep some of the USB powered when machine is off (plus clear indicator of power draw!)
    - a backlit keyboard
    - fingerprint reader
     From posts below:
    - Bluetooth connection to dock, so dock can work as wireless KB (no need to dock e.g to type one password)
    - HDD/SSD option in the dock like in the HP Split X2 (but boy is that thing heavy..4.85lbs)
    - higher resolution (1600 vertical), maybe after display scaling in Windows improves for multi-monitor setups..
    - better release schedule. Protip: estimate demand, get production going, THEN announce.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    An accurate ship date.

  • Using the wish list inside the app store

    The "wish list" feature in the App Store is great.  It's a bookmark, when it comes down to it.  The feature works today and darned if I cannot find a place to find it.  My bookmarks have fallen to the cutting room floor and appear like a needle in a haystack.
    First, a question to lead the discussion...
    Where's my needle?  How does one view the wish list?  Has it already been broadcast to my family for Christmas?  ( too soon? )
    Now, the discussion!
    With such a great feature, what shall we encourage Apple do?
    Here's a list for starters:
    Remember when I put things on the wish list, so that I can look at the same set from the same time. 
    Why?  I'd love to be able to get to a new game on my tablet quickly — having that urge on the daily commute home, for instance.
    Allow me to sort, group and send lists and parts of lists to various people. 
    " Here's my birthday list, mom...and you might like that cooking app – we can cook together now! "
    Tell me when my wishes have come true ( however I want ) and install all the good stuff automagically ( as long as I say it's okay )
    Cheers,
    //\\/\ark.

    We are not Apple, so we don't know. You'll know when we know.

  • What happened to my wish list since the last update?

    I'm only seeing a handful of albums in my wish list after installing the latest update.

    I have the same problem and I am very disappointed. I had like 200+ songs in my wishlist...now it´s only 32. I hope Apple would fix it soon.

  • Where are my Wish List and Favorites on Apple TV?

    I just bought an Apple TV and have been adding movies to my WIsh List and tv shows to my Favorites. Now I would like to watch some of those things, but have no idea where to find these lists that I've created. I've searched these forums and see references made to some update that caused these things to disappear and reappear, but they don't mention where they've disappeared from. Please help. Thanks.

    No a running computer with a running iTunes is required

  • What happened to the option to buy your entire wish list in the iTunes Store?

    There use to be a "purchase your entire wish list" option in the iTunes store. So instead of buying 12 songs one at a time for $0.99 each, you could make one purchase for $11.88. That option appears to have been removed, or hidden. At least I can't find it anymore. If it's hidden, where is it? If it's gone, why??

    I should have read further before posting. Sorry. I see reading elsewhere the option was indeed removed. Hope they bring it back. Posted feedback to that end as suggested elsewhere. Thanks.
