Official MacWorld Keynote Thread

Toll go play on Vista (beta) and stop trolling Apple threads

Ummm that "toll" said he was buying one???

But he has a point. A phone that plays mucis is very much not a new idea.

Only 8GB? Man, that suits me fine! Plus, you have to remember the resolution for movies for it shouldn't be huge, so I don't expect them to be too large of a file size.

Honestly, it's the ability to play full-length movies on the phone that's impressive. Why be greedy right now? It's still early. It's Apple... you know there's going to be upgrades along the way.

So we should gladly take a halfass offering because its apple? That sounds like the PPC days of apple.

Wifi connection, does this mean browser capable? IM? id really want this feature

i see this product being able to be used right away, GSM, but i dont see this product released and shipped right away, maybe march?

We have Safari running on iPhone -- it's the first fully-usable browser on a cellphone.

Good guess :D

Hold the train here,

On Engadget it says that they announced 3 different iPod devices. Does that mean we'll get a larger non-phone iPod with the widescreen?

[DeKay]

one little question ... how the hell does it know it's next to my ear to shut off the screen, i can't really see how they figured this one out ...

[Eli]

Without a doubt... what will Nokia, Sony, et al do to try and match it?

I can see them all sitting there watching this going.

"uhhhh........sh**......"

[MrKuro]

I have a feeling this phone won't work in Canada right away... but I want one so bad....

I feel your concern man, if/when it is releases in canada, I wonder what network they will use (probably not Bell as this device is GSM . .darn, I may have to switch carriers just for this new ipod)

[Jordan Green]

No one will be able to match this for along time this year!

[MacGod]

My REBEL EOS XTI from Canon camera recognizes when it is up to my eye (as I look through the view finder) and it automatically shuts off the LCD panel at the back.

Really?

Cingular Wireless is the largest wireless company in the United States, with more than 58 million subscribers who use the nation's largest digital voice and data network. Cingular is dedicated to providing customers with wireless technology designed to enrich their lives.

[Lycan]

Without a doubt... what will Nokia, Sony, et al do to try and match it?

Nokia is coming with N95 with 5 megapixel this year, all these other phone brands will prolly pump their camera megapixel up and and more memory for music. Still i doubt it will all be innovative as the iPhone.

[.Neo]

Actually, you're right. It's got to be the only Apple product with no logo clearly visible on the front.

Your point is?

Just plays music. Har.

Cingular is larger than Verizon... :whistle:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mobil...twork_operators

Cingular is not even close to Verizon. I don't care what that article says. Verizon, ATT, and Bell are all absolutely enormous compared to Cingular. They are all the result of huge mergers and purchases.

Why, if verizon gets it they will disable half the features.

well maybe because everyone i know uses verizon, and i use my phone very often. since it's free to call them i don't need to spend a ton on money on my calling plan.

[Jordan Green]

It has safari and mail on it aswell. Lots of business people will definately find this a great phone.

[AJerman]

Cingular got the boost over Verizon by merging with AT&T. The network is huge, almost everyone I know uses it and I wouldn't use any other.

AT&T IS Cingular now. This happened like a year ago lol.

Same here. Man I wish they'd make a version for Verizon.

[corrosive23]

So you would gladly allow verizon to disable features which they have done on every phone they sold, just because you don't want to spend a few more dollars?

[Billthy]

all i know is that this keynote better end before 2:30 or im skipping class

[C_Guy]

Your point is?

Read the post again and get back to me if you can't get it.

[raskren]

You all realize that PocketPC owners have been able to do everything that iPhone can do for years now, right? This is a PocketPC device with a new interface.

[Toastyone]

I wonder if Apple has made it so it works with every provider or there is a way to unlock it....

cingular works like **** in my area (Pittsburgh)

that is why everyone uses verizon.

but you wouldn't know that. all you talk about is phones and have no idea the situation.
