Post your comments for A farewell to iCards here

I was getting really loud "emergency broadcast" style beeping in the middle of the video - what was that???!?

[Chris Breen]

Really? That's a shame. Because I'm pretty sure that everyone else who watched that video learned about all of Snow Leopard's previously unannounced features. Did you miss the bit about the 500GB iPhone too?

I think I heard some of that too, right when Phil was explaining Snow Leopard Server's 'Easy-Bake Oven' mode.
Can't wait for that chocolate-y goodness!

PS. That bleeping was supposed to resemble the noise network television makes when someone utters a bad word. It was done because there are no Snow Leopard details that anyone can talk about at this time. It's all under NDA. So it was a joke that Phil claimed to be talking about the finer points of Snow Leopard, when in fact he was screaming at everyone to make sure to bleep that part out.

Or so Curt would have you believe.

Good bye iCards?
Nooooooo!!...What can I use now to send to all my friends around Xmas time?
(Ooops...I forgot: I don't have any friends.)

I appreciated the film in honor of iCards (I actually did send some of them!). I wonder if there will be a similar movie in honor of .Mac Slides Publisher, which, if I'm not mistaken, is also being discontinued in Mobile Me.

Apple still has iCards?

[pmpknetr21]

We still have Leopard's Stationary... And you can expand it with Equinux's Stationary Pack of 111 templates. I have it and it's pretty cool.
As for the beeps, that was really funny.

[pmpknetr21]

Very. Very. Funny.

[AppleNerd]

WTF? Why did you have to bleep it out? You look like idiots when you hide information from us.

[pmpknetr21]

NDA: Non-Disclosure Agreement.

Plus, it was funny. Really funny.

Just my opinion.

I've used iCards, even recently-but it is a forgotten step child to be sure. It is no longer very interesting with all of the other options out there.
