iCal + iChat + Address Book + Mail + Rendevous = Apple 2003

greg123

What applications will we see in 2003? Just look at what Apple has already been doing, and you'll suddenly be able to leap-frog thier thoughts with what Apple is actually already doing, and thinking, right NOW!!!



iCal + iChat + Address Book + Mail + Rendevous = Apple 2003



Apple is, at this moment, sitting on code that's still alpha/beta, and preparing to release things that could make a grown man cry... But don't take my word for it, just make sure not to miss the MWSF keynote address...



I think I need to change my pants, please talk about it amoungs yourselves. <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" />

I'm not a genius, so I looked for evidence of other people finding this first...



Here's a smarter guy who picked this one up at Mac World July 2002:



<a href="http://laughingmeme.org/archives/000082.html"; target="_blank">http://laughingmeme.org/archives/000082.html</a>;



"Among Apple's many announcements today, was the announcement of iCal, the latest app in the "i" family..."



"However Apple's iCal does seem to support some very interesting features: the ability to subscribe to others calendars, and see a unified view was something of a holy grail at Anyday; "send standards-based email event invitations" (the real iCal?); and publishing via WebDAV is just plain neat, Apple is certainly pushing the WebDAV envelope. (as they did for USB, IEEE 1394 aka FireWire, and 802.11, and zeroconf) "



If you haven't downloaded it yet, check out this site, and smack youself on the head:

Of course, apple already has cool NBA/NFL/Holidays/Movie/DVD/MUSC/etc/ and even MWSF 2003 Calendars chock full of good times/dates you can throw into your current Calendar...

Hmm, so how long does that Hands on lab going to last for at MWSF 2003 again???

Here's all the MWSF 2003 calendars you can download, and view, if you really think it will give you a head start on what Apple is thinking for MWSF 2003, for example, what potential labs will follow the keynote address???:

I know who you are, I know where you live, and I can even quote you:



"It is like iChat, but does not have all the features. It is like iStorm, but does not have all the features. On top of that, it does not have 'i' at the beginning of its name."



WOW, good lord!!! What a great idea!!! I've been pissed off about iChat having too many features. And man have I been pissed about that damn "i" that just won't seem to go away... Good Lord, Halleluja



Even better yet, you won't be able to quit Shout. Man have I been feeling like I wasn't forced into running enough needless (and apparently now feature-less) programs...



Watch, I even know how to edit my original post... &lt;cf_poof&gt; poof &lt;/cf_poof&gt;

Behave yourself, greg123, or this thread gets locked.

You're sounding more like the troll here.
