the one thing that is bugging my about the new iphone system: if palm's new software can multitask, why can't apple's? I'm sure that's a difficult thing to build into it, but it sure would make a huge difference when using the iphone or ipod touch.

why not boo Apple for signing another contract with AT&T?

FAIL Apple.

I know what you mean. You'll just have to wait for the keynote to appear on the Apple Website later today. Then you can get excited all over again. TomTom just announced a navigation app. Awesome.

[scubarider]

Man this is exciting. Tethering and turn by turn navigation from TomTom. I have been waiting for this for awhile as I'm sure we all have. I almost bought a TomTom for my motorcycle, but now I can wait until they release the software and the hardware mount. So many new things to play with.

Apple should just come out and admit that it cares nothing about computers, except as an iPhone accessory. This news about computers is completely uninspiring, flat. This company has only one real interest, as does Macworld and most other people charged with addressing what used to be a computer...that is the iPhone. Soon Mac computer users will be like the Cuban car industry, using all the old parts to keep your computer going from all the old ones with hacked and cracked old operating systems so desktop professionals can somehow get some work done....the Big Brother Don't Worry We Control Everything IPhone Company.....

Apple refreshes the entire MacBook line -- the line of computers that's seeing the greatest growth -- and this is what you come up with? What universe are you living in?

[scubarider]

If they cared nothing about computers, they would be out of business. They just updated the whole line of laptops, making them faster with more memory capabilities, bigger hard drives, more configuration options and making the 13 inch models into macbook pros while lowering the prices. You can't ask for much more than that.

I would have been in line for the 3gs if the att plan rumors were true. I still can't justify the cell phone price.

"10:17 PT - DM: Leopard is the most successful software product Apple has ever had,"

I have to say Leopard is the FIRST Apple OS that I HATE with a passion. Been here since OS 4. Loss of so many great functions, especially custom folder views, which have really hurt my productivity. Hype is hype and bs is bs. Leopard is lazy and dysfunctional in so many ways, the worst mac os ever....

In many ways the best Mac OS ever, too.

I'm confused, though. What specifically is it about Leopard as an OS that you hate compared to prior things called Mac OS or Mac OS X? What are some of the "so many" lost functions that affect you personally? You can even include Finder issues, even though that's not technically part of the OS.

Interesting, firewall and download is a lot faster. I like the design.

I so hope that the voice commands are not 3GS only! That would be complete crap. If my way under powered Blackberry Pearl that I had before my iPhone 3G could do it, then why not all the iPhone models!?

[matrixmaniac]

Haha! New iPhone 3G$ !!! That fits! :-)

[venividivici]

"What?

That was all of the Keynote?

Apple, tell me something I do not know.

How boring. Definitely a let down. This is for developers, right? I wanted to see a new computer that can be customized to look just like me and then control it with my iPhone. Develop something useful like that. I wanted a new Mac Pro, a new display, a new mouse, a new arrow cursor.

I think Apple, Inc. is growing old and stagnating.

What is next, a new partnership between Schiller and Ballmer in a new company based in Redmond named MAPPLE... because now they come in flavors.

That's it, no more Apple for me... no more technology. I've had it."

..... That's what my subconscious ws telling me... but Ididn't want to say it. So, I typed it here. Just keep on reading, nothing to see here... Hopefully now I can go and eat something so my brain does not hallucinate this bad.

Apparently one where cell phones have such massively-powerful graphics subsystems that it make sense to leverage them for general computational purposes.

I wish I wanted an iPhone. They look kind of cool.
