Stop your bitching people, the iPhone is the coolest phone ever, but it's too much money for me, it wont be available in my country until around October, it better have 3G here, and I still wont be getting one. I'll wait to see this iPhone nano.
I made this comment over at digg already, but I thought I'd just paste it here too.
I think everone is missing the bigger picture, and to be honest I'm quite surprised sites like this didn't think of it already. Sure apple could realease touch screen Mac's for retail and recording studios etc., but I think that home Mac's will also get touch screens, however they will differ in that the display wont have a touch screen - the keyboard will. By Apple making a multi-touch touch screen keyboard, they could kill the standard keyboard and mouse for future Mac users. You'd move the on screen cursor with one finger on the keyboard's screen, you'd click by tapping, right click by tapping with two finders. The dock could replace the F-keys. The keyboard could display anything from messages like: "You have one new Mail!". QWERTY or DVORAK? It doesn't matter select your preference in keyboard preferences. I for one would be right there to buy one.
@REB, Apple's stock jumped over 10% after the las Macworld.
@sydneystephen, it would take a newcomer to point out the obvious, you could quite easily be right.
@SterlingNorth, you have a point too!
Here's my list:
1. iPhone or I will kill Steve.
2. Leopard full details, new GUI etc.
3. iTV cause I want one.
4. new Cinema disaplys (iSight built-in, IR etc.)
Airport Showtime, for streaming your movies from your computer to your TV, comes with the apple remote, and Front Row 2.0 built-in. In my opinion the movies need to be HD, even 420p, but preferably 720p.
No name changes to confusing, "I own a Mac. Which one? A Mac! Yea but which Mac? A Mac Mac. You know they changed the name of the iMac to Mac. That was a stupid idea, it makes things so confusing, why would apple do that? I know whoever thought of that idea is surely gettong fired now. Yea I agree!" Get the picture!!
iPod>>>iMac it's that simple, nuff said.
Today you guys did a podcast entitled: "Rumors Surface of Something Starting with Capital "I" (you were meaning intel) but "intel" starts with a small "i" too ??
They need to produce an iPhone, and they need to start advertising on TV in Europe (Ireland), much much more. If they made a TV that would be mega cool too! And I second the keep things simple, thought.
