Apple also places an unusual emphasis on interface design. It sweats the cosmetic details that don't seem very important until you really sweat them. "I actually have a photographer's loupe that I use to make sure every pixel is right," says Scott Forstall, Apple's vice president of Platform Experience. "We will argue over literally a single pixel." As a result, when you swipe your finger across the screen to unlock the iPhone, you're not just accessing a system of nested menus, you're entering a tiny universe in which data exist as bouncy, gemlike objects...

...many suggest that the Blu-ray advantage isn't worth the price or the wait. Sure, movies on Blu-ray have a picture quality six times higher than a standard DVD, but the vast majority of so-called high definition TVs don't even have the 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution (known as 1080p) to show Blu-ray's full glory.

Where possible, the files will include a Dolby Digital 5.1 surround-sound track. The files will take 6 or 7 hours to download over a cable broadband connection, according to Microsoft. However, given the wide variety of household Internet connections, your own experience may be better or worse. By comparison, the standard-definition feature-length films currently available on Apple's iTunes Store are generally just under...
