Apple iPhone Rumors Resurface

Posted by timothy on from the shiny-things-to-hold-and-talk-to dept.

donkeyDevil writes: "Following the rule of 'i before e except before P,' rumors of an iPhone resurface in the New York Times (registration required). The evidence: OS features, foiled acquisition attempts, PIXO relations, and the genius of Steven P. Jobs. Unmentioned, Apple's tried phones before. PIE produced a nifty desktop phone design, Apple Europe produced some nice telephone-computer integration software."

    I don't know what Apple Europe produced, but Apple produced the GeoPort telephony stuff. It didn't work great, but some people used it. Some people probably still do.

    With the release of the newest version of the Macintosh operating system, Mr. Jobs appears intent on taking Apple itself into the hand-held market. The move would play into Apple's so-called digital hub strategy, in which the Macintosh desktop computer is the center of a web of peripheral devices.

    The highly anticipated Macintosh OS X, Version 10.2, which began shipping on the company's newest computers last week, will go on sale for existing Macintosh users on Saturday. While the software is being marketed as an improvement for desktop computer users, it could have just as big a future.

  7. iPhone quality... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Of course the quality of the iPhone, as with most Apple products, can only really be measured by how far up your arsehole you can fit it. From what I've read, this would be appear to be of significantly higher quality than the Apple Studio Displays, which tear the sphincter after only a centimetre or two.

      You're not, by any chance, subtly referring to the qualities of the iBrator, are you?

    obviously you guys are misinformed. The product you are talking about is phone.mac ... it's one of those devices that used to come for free but for which soon you will have to pay hard cash. Other similar upcoming products are : bottleOfWater.mac, coffeeCup.mac and boxOfCookies.mac
