Any concubines in there?
As Steve as our leader, we shall prevail as a dominant religion.
All others will suffer in Vista Hell
Great, right after I just upgraded to Atheism SPK 2. God damnit!
All we need is the evil guy and we’ve got a complete techology… Let’s see what’s the evily guy’s name, uhmmm, could it be his name is Bill?
Well, isn’t that special.
Silly.
The windows logo should be a reference to the gates of hell and don’t forget about all those little virus demons running wild in there
T3’s review is actually very good btw. I like how they mention iChat might step on the toes of the Cosco thing, I would have never thought of that
Use it and you’ll get 73 noobs in heaven.
No, it’s Ballmer that has the stinking little horns sticking out the top of his stinking F***in” head.
Praise iJesus, praise the iLord.
Several simple fact problems with this article. Shows they aren’t good at their research.
– “type at record speed using the virtual keyboard.” We’ve all seen the typing on that thing. No way is anyone setting records.
– “first evidence of Apple’s ambitions … came with MacBooks … two-fingered scrolling,” Nyet, the last powerbooks had this.
– “pretty much everything online your desktop Mac or PC can,” Lacking support for java and flash, it misses a huge number of functions that are commonly used on desktop browsers.
– “swish auto-fill for address fields uses your contacts to get the job done in record time.” Again, not “record” anything. All e-mail capable devices have been doing this for years.
– “Unlike other phones, … phone numbers or email addresses instantly become ‘live’. Treos have done this for years.
– “an accelerometer … so the scroll-speed alters depending on how you interact with it.” That’s not what the accellerometer does. It’s for the screen-rotation feature.
Actually the 2 finger scroll came with the Macbook and some of the previous powerbooks had this feature but it wasn’t activated until the software update after the macbook’s intro.
What I want to know is how do you write a “bible” for a product whose software is yet to be locked, and whose hardware has yet to be handled by more than a handful of people for a handful of minutes??
whatever: I don’t think that’s right. The last new PB line that included the falling-down sensor also included two-finger scrolling. That was before the macbooks.
T3 is crap.
I remember buying the very first issue (T3: Tommorow’s Technology Today) and everyone in my office was drooling over it. There wasn’t really anything like it and you could tell they cared. Then they changed to T3: Toys For Boys and seemed to be more pre-occupied with getting semi-naked women on the cover.
I didn’t bother following the link. How can you have an iPhone bible when the complete specs and bundled applications are unknown? T3 is a UK publication and we have no idea of carrier, the cost of the device nor the plans. That basically sums up the vague approach from T3 and Stuff magazines and why I don’t even bother to read them online, let alone pay good money for the hard copy.
the “definitive low-down” on all the features of iPhone- not one of which has been finalized yet!
My cat could’ve written this piece.
Come on guys, it’s not supposed to be a list of definitive answers. He deliberately called it a Bible, which means that it’s a self-contradictory bunch of myths handed down recklessly by word of mouth.
Hey PC Apologist, sorry to call you a moron, but…you’re a moron. First, have you read what anyone who has used to iPhone has said? Andy Inuhtka (sp?) with the Chicago Sun Times used the iPhone, and after five minutes of using it, said he was typing faster than he ever had with any other phone. So until you use the iPhone, or read what someone who has used to phone has said, shut up and go die. Second, how do you know it doesn’t run Java or Flash? Just because Steve didn’t say explicitly in his keynote, doesn’t mean that it won’t. There’s still 5 months till it’s released. Remove head from sphincter, then opine.
Will iPhone be as successful as the Ipod? Will consumers abandon buying separate MP3 Players and phones for a device that fulfils both functions?
