I called them twice today, they said they aren't getting any and already got their shipment for the day.
So that means people are standing in line for nothing?
I just went there and they told me the same thing. There was no line.

Absolutely, that is exactly what this is!
Of course it isn't.
That said, a portable device that happens to include a mobile phone radio (and is presumably usable as a phone - that doesn't make it a phone any more than a car is a pick-up truck) would be a possibility.
I'll accept that.
Something like the Nokia 770, but with GPRS/EDGE/UMTS in addition to 802.11. Yeah. I can go with that. Some of the supposed prototyped/patented designs kind look like a Nokia 770 too.
For the reasons I've outlined ad-nausium though, something that competes directly with what the bulk of Nokia, Motorola, Ericsson, etc's, business strikes me as improbable.
But a pocketable gadget that successfully integrates various pieces of personal technology and wireless networking seems, well, it's the kind of thing Apple might call a mobile version of "me" ("me" being the user) wouldn't it? They could call it... Mobile Me...
Now, who has that trademark?

I imagine it happening like that episode of the simpsons where lisa makes that new doll and everyone's excited and everything then as all the children run towards the display of dolls. WHOOSH! The sheet is pulled of a shiny display of brand new Malibu Stacy dolls, now with trendy new hat!
Just replace the Lisa doll with the Zune and Malibu Stacy with hat with a brand new Widesreen, touch sensitive iPod.....with hat lol :D

ARC-1880LP
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Areca/ARC1880LP/
You don't need to worry about Low Profile versions for the Mac Pro, so others are viable options (say the ARC-1880i all the way to the ARC-1880ix24).
ATTO Technologies is another company to look into (both offer 6Gb/s, bootable in BIOS and EFI based systems, work in multiple OS's, and have additional features not found on other cards). But ATTO's products are more expensive (good if you're new to hardware RAID controllers, as they're located in New York State so the Support Staff speak English natively), and on some models, Areca has an advantage (namely those that use a DIMM slot for the cache - none of ATTO's products do).
Areca's support staff do speak English (phone or email), but it's a 2nd language (based in Taiwan). So deciphering their response can be challenging at times.
Or is there more sata/power connectors there or can I buy/connect more?
The 2009/10 systems use a single backplane connector per ODD bay, so you'd need to use a Y splitter off of that (example (http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10226&cs_id=1022604&p_id=5184&seq=1&format=2) if you don't need to retain the data signal off of the ODD backplane connector).
If you do need to retain the data connection, there's a way to do that too, but it will take a bit of effort on your part (means getting a couple of off the shelf cables and splicing the power wires together <backplane extension cable (http://industrialcomponent.com/oem/sataext12.html) + SATA Y splitter>; no mods to the system, so your warranty will remain in tact :)).
With this card I can connect both the 4x 3TB HDD RAID5 volume and 2x 6G SSD (non-raid) to it at same time.
Yes.
You can run multiple arrays or arrays + single disks via Pass Through mode. You cannot run a JBOD (concatenation) + RAID simultaneously though (must select between RAID or JBOD mode).
Also does it get messy cable wise when you don't use the apple raid card and run the SAS expanders to the drives? How did you go about flashing the card to EFI firmware ?
SAS expanders are easy cable wise (and no different between any computer for the same configuration and equipment).
All of Areca's settings, including flashing the firmware, are done via a web browser (BTW, Safari tends to fail for this, so use another browser, such as Firefox).
If you chose an ATTO product, it installs it's own interface application.
Which other 6G RAID cards can you recommend that I can connect 4x HDD in RAID5 and 2x 6G SSD's (non-raid) to, if there's a good one that takes advantage of internal drive channels it would be a plus.
The only card that can use PCB traces with the HDD bays, is the Apple RAID Pro.
All 3rd party cards require an adapter, which you've found (maxupgrades.com adapter kit you located).
Care to post the instructions or link to the thread with details on flashing the Areca card that NANOFROG gave you?
See above.
The EFI firmware (EBC actually), can be found on the disk provided with the card, or on the support site (you will have to dig a bit, but it's there). Then install it via a browser (use Firefox, as there's been too many instances where Safari has failed - including multiple versions of it).
How many RAID volumes can you configure using the one Areca controller using the internal ports? I am guessing all drives that connect using the ( MiniSAS- SATA 4x multiplier). So for two internal 6G ports on the RAID controller (8 drives in any number of RAID configs). I want to run a 4x HDD RAID5 and 2x SSD's in non raid off the one controller. Maybe even go for the 1880-ix with external RAID support for a 3rd external RAID1 volume, all of the same controller. Wondering how much RAM I will need in this case, would 512MB default be enough you think?
The # of volumes = however many you want (all of the 1880 series can actually run 128 disks via SAS expanders). You can do this via an internal to external cable (http://www.pc-pitstop.com/sas_cables_adapters/8887-1M.asp) (stick to 1.0 meter with SATA disks, or it won't be stable). Or just use these cables for a 1:1 port to disk ratio if you wish in an external SAS enclosure.
Not sure if you're asking, but you're not stuck to even numbers once you exceed the minimum disk count (i.e. minimum for RAID 5 = 3 members).
512MB would be enough, as you're not using that many disks (only functional during writes, not reads). More can improve your write throughputs, but I'm not sure of your file sizes, or if you'll be adding more disks (via expanders or in a 1:1 ratio).
You could do without the RAID-card altogether and just install 4 drives in the bays in the Mac Pro and use the ZFS filesystem (http://code.google.com/p/maczfs/) to make a dynamic stripe in RAID-Z, so you will get RAID-5 like performance but with better protection and data integrity.
RAID-5 is prone to something called the "RAID-5 write hole" in case of a power outage, something RAID-Z specifically is designed to handle.
Just listing this as another option.
For software implementations of parity arrays, you're absolutely right. RAID 5 wouldn't be the way to go. But a hardware RAID controller has a hardware solution to the problem. :)
Funny thing, as I am running ZFS as we speak on my Mac Pro and several servers.
If you clicked the link I provided you could even download it and install it in Mac OS X ;)
Also ZFS is returning big time for Mac OS X come June/July with a full up-to-date implementation of ZFS, called ZFS-410 by Ten's Complement LLC (http://tenscomplement.com/).
Ironically, one of the engineers behind ZFS-410 was the technical lead behind the original HFS+ filesystem and one of the persons porting ZFS to Mac OS X until Apple ditched it. You can find a good read about it here (http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2011/03/how-zfs-is-slowly-making-its-way-to-mac-os-x.ars)

I dunno; the way these articles make it sound, people had to buy their iPods because they already had large iTunes accounts, and it was the only way to listen to their music. But of course it was the other way around, that the store was the result of the iPod. I suppose it would be nice to have the option to put my purchased iTunes mp3s on a different player (although I don't see myself doing it), but I agree with everyone about the integration and ease of use keeping the iTunes market strong. And unless other mp3 players can be easily synched with your iTunes playlists and music, the whole DRM thing seems pretty moot to me. The iPod is iConic (couldn't help myself :p ); it'll take a lot of great word of mouth and aggressive marketing by other companies to even take a real bite out of Apple.;)

Thanks. My Photoshop files are usually under 100Mb. I use Carrara for 3D work, which is 64-bit and works well with the multiple cores. Planning to switch to modo someday.
I guess I'll go for the 24Gb (4Gb x 6) and see how things work. I could do 8Gb x 3 to give me more flexibility, but the price difference is significant.
Follow-up question: OWC or TransIntl? I've been very happy with OWC in the past, but TransIntl is 15% cheaper and gets good reviews in this forum.

Simply measure the amount of volts it uses while folding with a physical electrical meter, (I don't know if there are any programs that can actually measure electrical output) And see how much your electricity bill charges you. Folding DOES cause an increase in electricity usage, so if I were you, I wouldn't do it.
