I'm gonna pirate it and try it on a free HDD first. If it's useful, I'll drop the $29 get my sister to drop the $29 for this. If not, it gets wiped from existence.

On a semi-related note, at least iOS 5 looks like a good upgrade.

iOS 5 is taking features that have been in Android and have been in or have been revealed for Windows Phone 7 and calling them "new" and "innovative". I was thoroughly underwhelmed by both iOS 5 and OSX 10.7.

Almost all of which have been with Blackberry for even longer. I don't care about this "Apple is stealing ideas" mentality, seeing as how Android and Windows Phone 7 do it just as much.

I know. But the other two are not claiming to be innovators like Apple is claiming to be. Also, a lot of what Blackberry has was around long before Blackberry, which leads us right back to the original Windows Mobile.

The ONLY thing Apple can claim innovating is a stupid-friendly interface for both OSX and iOS. Nothing else. And Apple should just cut to the chase and scale iOS to a PC form-factor because that *is* where they are headed.
