Personally I'm excited for these to come out. A dual driver phone at that price (forgot exactly but I remembered it was good) might just be a new contender in the in-ear world.

easily one of the most ignorant things I've heard on this forum. How about you wait for them to come out first and audition them yourself before you start stating that they're worse than other phones?

ok, fair enough. But with 100s of phones already available and Apple including expensive, crappy phones with the IPOD, why wait? Yes, if they come out, they will probably be better than Bose --- the Apple Store's other favorite can company.

well, somebody prefer for Apple no matter what, including me. You can call me 'fanboy'. I am OK with that. But I heard that new in-earphone is better than ever. I saw the post accidentally from macrumors.com. San Fran apple store manager told user who posted. It will be available mid Nov. Well, I am tired of waiting this thing anyway.

Oh of course they will be better than bose :D

But really, these are the first dual driver in ears I've seen for under 150$ and the price is MUCH less than that which is a plus. We'll just have to wait and see.

So today Apple updated for iPod classic, nano 4G software. It adds in coming new headphone support and other bug fix. So I guess that new in-earphone will be coming very soon or this week?

In addition to the classic and nano firmware updates, Apple has officially discontinued their older in-ear headphones :D (you can check at the Apple Store.)
This means the new ones should be out this week or so. Great.
I just hope support for the iPod touch and iPhones comes with the 2.2 update. I'll definitely be wanting to buy these, and might be getting an iPhone 3G soon. The bad news is that Apple says they're only compatible with the classic 120GB, the nano 4G, and the iPod touch 2G. Damn. Does that mean they're gonna be handing out differing softwares for the touch 2G and 1G? Anyway, I'm sure the headphones would still work and sound great on iPhones, but that remote won't (and it's the killer feature that I wanted.) Still crossing my fingers for support for the 3G in the 2.2 update. This could also mean the 2.2 update is coming soon, actually, since the touch 2G is also probably going to need an update for the headphones and that could provide it. But if it comes to the 2G with the 2.2 does it mean it'll come to the 1G and iPhones? Doubt it, unless Apple wants to do it, since the firmware bundles for iPhones and touches are different from each other... even the touch 2G and 1G differ, I think, since the 2G has the Nike+ support and the speakers (not sure if those have anything to do with the software, but I guess the device needs to know where to play the music when headphones aren't in, and the software provides that I think) which isn't on the 1G.

Damn I wrote a lot. Over headphones, no less.

iphone 2.2 update will be November 21st. I am sure what I know. there are a lot of new features as we highly expect.

for just record, new 24 inch LED monitor will also be shipped someday this week. I think that it is not coincident.

one thing I am sort weird about new in-earphone is compatibility. of course, it will be working with new ipod models. but it won't be working with any iphone. I don't see why? iphone actually has microphone, all features. but who knows? here is the same example. new V-Moda vibe II is, which equipped with mic/music control, will not work with 2G ipod touch at all. isn't it surprise?

oh, one more thing! today Apple updated Safari 3.2 for mac & windows. enjoy!

But why not list the Iphone as a supported device on the product's homepage if that was the case?

I was about to pull the trigger on the superfi.5vi but why on earth would I pay $189.99 on single driver earphones if this is due? I just wish it was sooner. I would imagine that the earphones would also drive prices down on premium earphones too

It is an hoax, man. They officially announced that it will be coming on October. Well, it is December now. All of you forget about this bull ####, buy better one. I already did.
