 three carriers: AT&T, Vodaphone, and Orange

 That is why this phone will fail.  AT&T has iphone (and would you really leave Verizon's coverage for AT&T other than to get an iphone).  Vodaphone and Orange oh yeah they got the big three listed there who needs Sprint or Verizon.

Well it has faster speed.  So you could stream HD video.  It is in the 5Ghz band so it doesn't have interferrence from all the 2.4Ghz stuff (microwave, bluetooth, wireless phones).  But if your current set up gives you what you need then you don't really need to upgrade.

yeah I heard about the dual channel also.  So why would I want to buy this new design?  Other than for future upgrade reasons...

Will these new i7's be as fast as the current ones?  I read on one board where they are claiming they will be slower.  But will have the northbridge on the chip and direct pci-e connections.  Anybody else hear about them running slower?

Does the eSATA port support multiplier so you can have more than one hard drive connected to it?

Does the eStat port support multiplier so you can more than 1 drive connected?

In what he's calling "the single biggest infrastructure decision" in the country's history," Australia Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's announced an A$43 billion (US $30.6 billion) project to create a nationwide high speed broadband network. The goal's to get 90 percent of homes and business up to 100Mbps speeds with fiber optic connection, with a less impressive 12Mbps wireless / satellite for the rest. Up to 49 percent of the funds will be from the private sector; the government will initially invest A$4.7b, while A$20b will come from a national infrastructure fund and the sale of bonds. The venture's expected to take seven to eight years, and Rudd said the government intends to sell off its stake after five years. Sure, it's not 1Gbps by 2012, but hey, they might end up beating us at the "nationwide broadband" game.

 Looks like Australia going to beat us to the punch.

Do we know of any upcoming games that will use this service?

Don't forget about external add ons.  I have 16tb running on my server dishing out video goodness.  4 inside hard drives, 4 esata, and 8 usb hard drives.
