This looks to be just Patent Approvals for functions already built into the current iPhone. There are probably still lots of patents still pending.

@C1 - How long have you been waiting the pull that one?

Motorolla Exec: Sweet Jesus we're screwed!
Nokia Exec: Zoet Jesus We zijn!

(BTW, I have no idea why why the executive from Nokia is speaking Dutch.)

Exactly. The more the patents are processed and approve, the more harder it is for those copy cats to implement on their wannabe devices. Ever time a Nokia, RIM, Palm, MS, Samsung engineers, programmers and head bosses sees these patent approvals, they just curse and start with the drawing board all over again. Or come up with the most ridiculous ideas like that hand "jester" controlled piece of junk.

Yeah yeah yeah. Whatever. Since when did all these TROLLS become germatically, spell chekin, english correctin cretins? I guess with nothing to trump proudly with their beloved MS, what else can they fall back on. Oh yeah, how many Zunes were sold this quarter? Five or six? Where are those hard numbers for Zune sales? C'mon Trolls, lets hear it.

MacDailyNews is full of quoted copyrighted material. There is absolutely nothing original on this website. I wonder why people even visit this webiste and make money for webmaster that most likely doesnt even speak English. He or she cant make any original articles; but can certainly copy and paste articles from other websites.

Because it's all in one place, nicely commented.

Memememe, I have the same problem with education and the internet. Someone's said it all before. Instead of once.

Just once.

@Jubei...

Hard numbers on Zune, hard numbers on AppleTV. That one cuts both ways...

Not that the numbers matter a whole hill of beans in this case.

@DArkness

Umm Apple TV is different animal compared to a Zune. You might as well use the same comparison to how many bananas were sold vs cumquats. LOL Stop misdirecting and give us a straight answer. Zune # of units sold for the quarter.

In any event, I smell copy/paste functionality.

iPhone 2 better come fudge dipped

You know, it strikes me as interesting that Apple knows iPhone sales better than anyone else, and if they continue in the trend they're in, they won't make their 10 million iPhone goal. But when does Apple ever make a goal (and stick with it so fervently) that they don't know for a fact that they will make (and then some)? I think that there's something Apple's hiding about the iPhone. Some big thing that Apple believes will make the iPhone sales spike. Just a thought...

Let's see, Apple knows:
1. what features are in the next iPhone hardware upgrade (and when it will be released).
2. what's in Apple's iPhone software pipeline for June and likely October.
3. what countries it's rolling out to from June to November.
4. what software other companies are planning to roll out using the iPhone SDK.

That leads Apple to be almost sure that it will sell at least 7.5M iPhones from June thru December. And it makes me really really want one.

$500!?!

Fully subsidized!?!

It's the most expensive phone in the world and it doesn't even have a keyboard, which means it's not a very good email machine.

Look, it may sell very well, uh, umm...

We have our strategy and uh, ah, hmmm...

Ah, geeez. Ah, geeez.

Anyone know the site - if it exists - that best corresponds to MDN for Windows?

I did look at WindowsDailyNews.com - hilarious...

@Macaday:

That was indeed hilarious. Busted out laughing when I saw the headlines.

@C1

Good one! I checked over at WDN, and this one is just too rich to pass by: "Upgrading from Vista to XP"

Yes, that's right, "UPGRADING from Vista to XP."

What's even more interesting is that this guy is doing it on a (wait for it, wait for it) on a Mac!

"Why?" You may ask yourself, especially when OS X works infinitely better on a Mac than Windows in the first place.

Also, he lists himself as Sean Corfield, Senior Computer Scientist and Team Lead in the Hosted Services group at Adobe Systems Incorporated.
