What's so funny about a JobsRIM?

I can't wait to get a RIMMJob from Steve.

hehehe...

Senior executives at Intel have recommended that Apple work with RIM

Uh, that's like telling the great Steve Jobs what to do.

I knew it wan't going to be long before Intel started throwing their weight around.

Gosh, I wonder how Steve is handling defeat, Mac's are just Intel contolled PC's now with a fancy OS.

I guess Intel is going to "recommend" Mac's use DirectX video cards and sell Vista next right?

FSCK INTEL, FSCK M$, FSCK TRUSTED COMPUTING!!! FSCK FSCK FSCK!!!

Shoot, I've been drinking Ripple for years!

The problem is that I hope Apple designs the case, because of RIM does it, it'll be as ugly as my son's Aunt Esther, who looks like she was run over by a truck filled with ugly sticks!

I always admired the BlackBerry's, but there was something in the press about them and their future didn't look great.

WELL WELL SEE WHAT I SEE

"Intel Inside"

Oh MY FSCKING GOD!!!


It looks like the BlackBublousBerry's need a touch of the "Apple magic", they look so FSCKING DULL.

Well Apple is Intel's lapdog now it seems.

Ok, so when is the RainbowColored Berry's going to arrive in the Apple Stores?

Or will they be just black and white? With a scratch prone screen?

Will it run OS X.5?

Actually the idea of an Apple type Blackberry device is not as silly as it sounds. A friend of mine who loves his little iMate device said he would be very keen to swap if Apple were to develop or co-develop and an equivalent device.

C'mon guys! You're missing the obvious....the only sensible product name would be PodBerry.

I wonder how much RIM costs? Do they still have legal issues?

Consider-

Blackberry devices operate off the wireless carriers’ networks, not a special network. Therefore, the devices would be sold through the carriers and Apple would be in direct competition with wireless media downloads. Carriers won’t sell it - they’re investing too much in their own media plans.

Since Apple would have to form their own network, I see Apple developing a wireless device that uses VoIP and provides instant internet and iTMS in an “always connected” manner.

Why design a phone? That's not innovation. Apple would just be another phone maker. First, I'll say the "phone" won't be traditional and when Apple makes a “phone” the Bluetooth will be fully functional. No crippled software. If I can’t sync my phone’s contacts with Address Book and my pics with iPhoto, Apple has just joined the rest of the lot.

whatabout pushPod?

No, come on silly... Its going to be the iBerry

"I'd buy that for a dollar!"

"MOMMY I WANT AN APPLEBERRY!!!!!!!"

"Dear God; please give me a mobile communications device with an Apple OS on it. Amen"

Or... Maybe the MacBerry

Apple already has an e-mail service plan that is one step away from BlackBerry. Why would they need to partner with RIM? Brand recognition? I don't think so.

or maybe we'll all want a Black i for xmas : )

Hey, Hmmmm . . .


It does not matter what other carriers are invested in, in terms of their media plans.

When Apple comes knocking, people will listen.

Why?

Because companies know and understand the loyalty of Apple customers. Whatever apple does the customers follow (and I don't mean that in a sheepish way even though that sounds very sheepish). It is simply put, Apple's customers identify with Apple - loyalty. That opens doors.

What may appear as a closed door to you could be realtively easily opened by Apple - they've got some pull.

Lots of people want to get in bed with Apple.

I know His Steveness has mentioned publicly that the PDA's that are on the market do well enough for Apple to stay out.

However, I've felt that Apple would like to push .Mac into the market a bit more. I can see some syncing and .mac-ing going on into what ever phone they do. That means you are using your .Mac account for e-mail, you have all of your calendar and contacts with you. I see this as real time syncing eventually but probably not real time at first.

.Mac will, obviously require a media plan for .Mac syncing. If you had a sizeable amount of flash (i mean lets face it HDs days are numbered, we'll all have iPods with flash soon, which consume much less, highly needed battery power)you could, if you needed, retrieve documets from .mac. And if you don't have the data plan, iSync will have to do for syncing purposes.

Also look for the new phone to utilze the universal dock adapter to fit in any dock, whether to your computer or Hi-fi or even car. Which means, yes, you'll be able to use your phone in your car, already wired into the system, the very same as BT phones are wirelessly sync'd with DVD-Nav systems in Lexus and the like.

Can only lead to wholesome finger-smackin' goodness

Static Mesh...er, MacDude,

You're back! Yay!

No, it's "Mac'n'Berry"

SB

in nature a black apple is a rotten apple

they'd come up with an all new name not connected to either platform

Static Mesh...er, MacDude, You're back! Yay!

14 days, 5 hours, 28 minutes and 17 seconds since the last time I was banned from MDN.

I am MacDude, I'm a trollaholic, I'm in recovery.

VIsta will...willl.... WILL... ba babbbaba BE!....yyyyyyooooooooooooo. Sh*t.

I hate my BlackBerry because of that stupid scroll wheel on the side. Sure it's easy to spin but when you have to double-push it all the time to get anywhere? Fsck that. An Apple design would be way better. For now I'm just waiting for the new Nokia E62 so I can ditch this pos BlackBerry.

A bigger mistake would for Apple to partner with RIM and starting making the devices in Dingle, Ireland. The press release might read,

" . . .Apple's new Dingle 'Berry from RIM, Jobs said in an interview."






MW: ready?

Sorry for the dupe in advance but since we can't make edits without duplicating . . .(here's the intended version . . . I was half asleep earlier)

If Apple developed a partnership with RIM and decided to produce the device in Dingle, Ireland, it could result in an unintended faux pas. The press release might read,

" . . .pluck Apple's new Dingle 'Berry from RIM, Jobs said in an interview."

MW: upon?

WEll...after reading all the anti Intel nonsense, I thought I ought to put some of this stuff to rest....Really...who give a flying FSCK what chip is in my computer so long as it is FSCKing fast and that means that one must have an Intel chip inside or an AMD as they seem to have won the race. It is the OS stupid ...that is what makes a computer either good or awful. I use a Macbook Pro AND an ancient 500 mhz iMac and both have similar OSs and guess what? One is slower...gee whiz, who would have guessed? On the other hand, both can do pretty much the same things and for all practical purposes are the same computer as seen from the desktop. Does it REALLY matter how this occurs under the API...no it does not. Allow the engineers to design great chipsets and circuits and let the Apple code folks keep doing their magic and just use the damn things and stop belly aching about nothing. A computer is not a religion and a chipset is not a Talisman. It sounds like there are foks out there that actually think that a chip can be an enemy...I think that they might have gotten that idea from the Terminator, but, hey, it is not true...
