    Well, I think Word or something wouldn't really fit the iPhones small (small compared to Laptop/Desktop computers, that is) screen. Maybe they have some "mobile" version of iWork up their sleeves?



    By the way, talking about the iPhones MacOS X underpinnings... the thing that I'm looking forward to the most is the first geek running a WebServer off his iPhone 8)



    Oh, and there's one more thing: Apple shares closed at +8.31%, RIM went down more than 7% - luvin' it

    May I suggest to you the 80 GB iPod out now.



    I'm not sure if the iPhone will replace the iPod though... it doesn't appear that way.

    i say we have a long time till June..now that they know that people know about the phone, im going to expect that they start throwing around some ideas for applications on the phone, im sure they will include a mobile version of iwork or ilife in it because the windows smartphone 5 has most of these features already...im sure a lot more will be integrated in the phone when its all ready and out the door for shipments

    Aside from a hard drive based iphone, I'd also like to see a game controller add-on that clips onto each side of the iphone. Apple now has the perfect platform for (portable) gaming.



    I'd also like to see a picture of the back of the iphone is anyone has one.

    With the potential of at least 10 million new customers, I'd assume Cingular might consider creating a cheaper data plan by June.



    Ugh! I want that device, but do not want switch carriers.

  • Reply 51 of 114
    no like other applications not on dashboard, such as word and that whole family, maybe slingmedia will create an app to work on the iphone as well, theres tons to be made...



    oh and yes i truely beleive that cingular will create a specific plan for iphone honestly they kind of have to the data plans they have now are bogus..



    i wonder if you can download ringtones or if it allows you to set up your ipod songs as your ringer..but those songs are long haha

    Dashcode you mean? No... I was thinking more like "XCode mobile" (maybe with some 'iPhone emulation' to test your iPhone apps on your workstation) and "iPhone SDK"...

    I bet the other reason they didn't talk about Leopard (other than the phone took the whole time) is M$ blatant copying in Vista. Steve is waiting until after Vista ships (read: no more delays to put copied stuff into windows) to talk about the "top secret" stuff in 10.5. He wants to widen the lead OS X has over Windows; yet another step in the "take back the computer business from the lying, copying, no-talent, shameless micorshaft" strategy.

    I fully expect Apple to release an iPod-only version of this. It will make a lot of people happy.

    Something in Apple's move to rename themselves today tells me that their strategy is not about taking back the computer biz...

    wow never thought of it like that, but i think ur like 95% right about this...i think they want the good stuff hidden

    I think Apple and Steve Jobs understood what a big deal iPhone is and didn't want to muddy the water with a lot of other stuff.



    I have my take on it, of course:

    I don't honestly think Steve is worried about Vista copying Leopard...it would take Microsoft three months to schedule a meeting to discuss copying the features. I think this is the beginning of a lot of interesting announcements, none as mundane as eight processors in a MacPro

    I am really looking forward to March, when things really start to kick it up this year
