The ipod touch 4 is smaller, so it will not protect your ipod touch 4 as well as it could.

What OS X app would be good to benchmark SD cards? I have a couple different Class 10s and I'm curious what their actual speeds are.
You could try Xbench (http://www.xbench.com/)... It's old but it works. Just disable all benchmarks except for Disk Test, and set the volume to your SD card. I just ran it on my iMac i7 with a Transcend 32GB SD Class 6 card and got the following results:
Disk Test 1.51
Sequential 19.91
Uncached Write 17.45 10.71 MB/sec [4K blocks]
Uncached Write 16.48 9.32 MB/sec [256K blocks]
Uncached Read 17.68 5.18 MB/sec [4K blocks]
Uncached Read 37.93 19.06 MB/sec [256K blocks]
Random 0.79
Uncached Write 0.21 0.02 MB/sec [4K blocks]
Uncached Write 3.48 1.12 MB/sec [256K blocks]
Uncached Read 671.88 4.76 MB/sec [4K blocks]
Uncached Read 102.40 19.00 MB/sec [256K blocks]

I had not seen this one so thank you for suggesting it. I may get it for exactly what it is, a reminder program. I read the website and the FAQ and they clearly state they will not make it into a to do list so I am still looking for that. But I used to use a shareware program on my mac called 'reminder pro' and I loved it for those things you don't want to forget like 'pay property taxes' which just happens to need to happen by Saturday here. :rolleyes:
I'll check back for any other suggestions.
Thanks again.
Have you checked out "Due"?

If any only if you feel like trying a grand experiment (nothing harmful, just complicated till you do it once), try THIS (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=805573&highlight=mac+automator). They're automator (think script) functions that control ripping and converting of DVDs to avoid user interaction.
I've been using them to bulk-convert my DVD library. Once the initial setup is done (~20 minutes to install all the software), you just insert a DVD. The script will detect this, and ask whether it's a TV show or a Movie. You'll then be asked the title (95% of the time, this will be prefilled from the DVD volume name, but not always), and then it will rip the disk to your hard drive.
Then later, and you can have ripped anywhere from 1-100 disks to your drive, you start another automator function that uses the command-line version of Handbrake (no user input necessary for this, and it's faster than the GUI) to convert the ripped disks to a format that iTunes/iOS likes. (h264 MKVs). Also supports BlueRay burning if you want to make this a substantial investment, but I'd start small ;)
The end result to this are MKV video files that are a very reasonable size (~1.2GB if SD, ~1.7 if HD) that include subtitles, iTunes tags, as well as poster art for the Cover Flow file browser.
I'd be happy to help you implement this (I can Teamviewer into your machine to help you setup). No other reason than it's an excellent solution that will help you to convert your life away from physical media. (No charge lol). After the initial setup is done for the scripts (majority of it is just downloading the needed 'helper' applications), it's simple and quick. <<That offer is open to anyone, btw.

For all those having this issue (which seem to be A LOT) send a bug report. Hopefully with enough people having this issue, Apple will release a new software update that actually doesn't crash.
https://bugreport.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/RadarWeb.woa/wa/signIn
Update: Bug submitted for Macbook 6,1 but anyone running other hardware that has the same problem should submit a bug report.

I'll be sticking with my iPhone 4 regardless of any improvements.
Ditto. I just want iOS 5. I couldn't care less about any hardware upgrades.

Just thought id create a thread for this (macrumors is still going to be my main source) but if something goes wrong...it'd be nice to have alternatives!
cnet, edgadget and gizmodo are also doing coverage!
EDIT - mods, please delete if this is against forum rules! dont mean to offend anyone at MR!

i would fool around and replace my finder with this finder, but i don't want to mess up my system...anyone wanna try? pm me
I see that disk image, too. Notice that the date on it is July 17, the date of the MWNY 2002 Keynote.

That iBook does not have gigabit ethernet. No iBook has gigabit ethernet. 100mbit is not very fast. We're talking realistically 8-10MB/s, maximum on a 100mbit is 12.5 which you'll never hit.All depends really.
I run most of my stuff at 100Mbit/s, including the Mac mini I use for media. I have no problem with it and it's plenty fast enough. On the gbit linked machines I only notice the difference when moving large amounts of data (e.g. virtual machine images), but that's rare enough that it's just a nice to have.

Mactheknife has it about correct, although you might not notice as much of a speed decrease if you go for the faster TiBook. Web surfing under OS X will be your biggest complaint (both speed and stability). While this is definately a problem with the browsers more than the OS, it's a problem with ALL the browsers right now. Major pain. Apple should really light a fire under the browser developers as this is a major drawback to the Mac right now.

Has anyone else noticed there windows knowledge slip since moving over to osx?
Not really since I use both often. It just goes with everything, if you stop doing something, you'll forget things about it.
Here's an example I used to dance. I was Ballet and Tap trained. Completed all the grades. Haven't done it for coming up five years now since I lost interest. I can't do the majority of it anymore, even though I am still classed as 'Ballet Trained.'
It happens with everything. If you stop using or doing something, you're bound to forget bits.
