Sure, but without Windows Mobile or the Blackberry OS?
Suck on that, Mac dorks. <crescendo>

Pish tosh. I'm waiting for Mr. Jobs' keynote for the real scoop.

@Ampar

That's a pretty good Zune Tang imitation !

Make that "MAC" dorks, and I'm right behind you.

Jun 07, 08 - 09:07 am Comment from: Ampar

Oops. MAC dorks!

BTW, has anyone collected from Ray's 2¢ on every post?
It does add up.

*sigh*

I was really hoping for it to for some random reason support 1700/2100 so I could unlock it and use it with T-Mobile's new 3G, especially since at the end of the year, I'm moving to Vegas, which is one of the markets that is (supposedly) getting 3G this year.

Hmmm. Maybe I'll just have to buy an EDGE iPhone on the cheap once the new one's out.

Or maybe this firmware leak's crap/incomplete?

I'm hoping for that one. Especially since (correct me if I'm wrong), I believe Japan's 3G runs on 1700/2100. And Softbank is selling the iPhone in Japan. So here's to hopin.

I don't need GPs; I know where I am.

GPS

iPhone 2 is bound to be an improvement on the first.

I'll just be happy to consolidate from 2 crappy devices, cell phone and Palm TX (with charge/sync cables … yeah, I still use a Palm) down to one unit.

I'll still stick with my 80GB iPod though. There's no way the iPhone will have similar capcity.

I just wish Apple would offer the thing through different providers.

Thanks, Ampar! I just might take the rest of the day off.

Your potential. Our passion.™

Zune Tang, you poor shmock, you must have no friends at all to be hanging around people you hate. If you had some friends, you would be hanging with them on some Microsoft News site celebrating Windows Vista.

Has anyone seen ZT and Ampar in the same room?

awesome, I for one would love a gps/google maps tie in, one less device to worry about.

@Scott in Japan and Zune Tang
Actually, Ampar is poking fun at that dork Krakow.

The only things I'm looking for are software improvements. Universal landscape keyboard and copy & paste mainly. You can't tell me I'm asking for much. Shit, what I want shouldn't have even taken a year.

Jun 07, 08 - 11:05 am Comment from: Ampar

"Has anyone seen ZT and Ampar in the same room?"


Once, but the stench was unbearable.

@Roberto

But you don't know where you are going.

Go ahead Zune Tang. Take the rest of the day off.

You always crack me up!!!

I don't understand why everyone is so desperate for 3G; what about 802.11n? Yes, it would be nice to have more speed when out and about, but what about at home and the office? I suppose I don't lead as an exciting life as everyone else, but those are the two places I am the most.

Oh yes he does... he's going to cross the border, and everyone in Nogales knows where that is.

"I just might take the rest of the day off."

NOOOO ! ! ! There might be a fourteen year old that needs you to squirt "Ridin’ The Storm Out" to his Zune ! !

Call me old fashion but anyone heard of maps? Those paper things? Yes I am dating myself here and admitting to being a bit behind the times. GPS is a nice touch but when was the last time you were lost really. Ok out hiking or camping maybe but I'd bet ZT's right hand no one has ever gotten lost looking for a latte. I do admit GPS is a nice touch but if you can find anyplace with it wouldn't "someone" be able to find you with it. Yes that fragrance is a brief whiff of paranoia.

Jun 07, 08 - 12:06 pm Comment from: Ampar

"Yes I am dating myself here . . ."

So, who pays for the dinner?

(j/k)

Smartphones have GPS; therefore, the iPhone, being the Creme de la Creme of Smartphones, must have GPS.

Anyway, if Apple included paper maps, the packaging would be huge.

Ok call me a mac dork, or a mac lemming, that makes you a microsoft maggot! nya nya nya nya nyaaa nyaaaaa

Safe assumption: adult mentalities are rare on this site.

Palermo, Buenos Aires, Palermo, California, Palermo, Maine, Palermo, New York or Palermo, North Dakota?

Just curious.

"Safe assumption: adult mentalities are rare on this site."

Some are rare, some are medium, few are well done.

I prefer my adult mentalities blue. With béarnaise. And a beaujolais. Followed by a nice slice of Death by Chocolate.

Meanwhile, Microsoft again announced that they are very thankful for the companies that considered the Windows Mobile... Apu had co-signed at the bottom of the letter with a personal message:
"Thank you, come again!"

@Original Shiva:

I travel around Phoenix all the time on business, going to different locations. It's VERY handy to have a GPS (even the current Maps on my iPhone) rather than paper maps.

How sweet would it be to be able to access a remote disk drive via your iPhone/iPod touch? Think movies, think kids and cars.

Jun 07, 08 - 03:15 pm Comment from: Ampar

"Think movies, think kids and cars."

Think stain sticks and Prozac.

I see Ampar's verbal diarrhoea is flowing freely today. Yawn.

"Once, but the stench was unbearable."

Then Ampar the curry munching Indian call center worker left.

"what about at home and the office? I suppose I don't lead as an exciting life as everyone else, but those are the two places I am the most."

But they're also the place where most people have better devices for making phone calls, surfing the Internet and listening to music.

Eddie
Before you criticize Ampar verbal "diarrhoea," learn to spell the word diarrhea.

Zune is a loser, always has been always will be... Just like microsoft

Eddie can't spell, what a loser... actually he could work for microsoft too...

Jun 07, 08 - 07:37 pm Comment from: Ampar

Eddie is a stalker, actually.

I would be flattered if it wasn't so creepy. He never comments on anything except Ampar. Ever.

Once in a while he pokes his tiny whack-a-mole head up to get some attention. I imagine that this sad git has "I HEART AMPAR" posters all over his flat and kisses them at night.

Go back through the archives and you'll see. He never contributes stories, never says a word about the Mac and never says anything except for little tributes to me.

What a sad, sad little person.

Jun 07, 08 - 08:56 pm Comment from: Micro Me

Without entering into the discussion on Eddie's qualities, or lack of them, he can spell; "diarrhoea" is the English spelling, used outside the US.

Looks like Eddie has a secret crush on you Ampar.... Make sure you sleep on your back tonight... That is just wrong.

but can anyone confirm if the service will be better on ATT. im in burbank and have to go to the street to even make a single phone call.

@ Ampar: "Think stain sticks and Prozac."

Think Pascal.

"Eddie is a stalker, actually."


how can you trust someone who never registered on the site? o wait...

regardless, can anyone _briefly_ explain what the listed hardware details actually mean? different compatibilities, sure but what are they

mw: trouble, as in Eddie is having credibility trouble

Jun 08, 08 - 09:40 am Comment from: Anim8me2

Secret iPhone firmware leak? You mean like the SDK that Apple has been sending out?

Some secret!
Here you go you thousands of developers... now SHHHHHH!

New servers must be working MDN opened up in no time. But I still get pop-unders, just quicker I guess. One from "http://www.military.com/Recruiting/Home/0,13387,,00.html?ESRC=vc_rec.op&np=1" and one from "http://www.quizrocket.com/dumb-test?gatherer_id=100522&utm_source=ValueClick&utm_medium=Pop&utm_campaign=DumbTest".
Thanks from the trashy conduct MDN.

@ Ampar

Don't sweat it, my friend. Just like there's no bad publicity, there's no such thing as a bad troll, as long as his childish little screeds can be turned into some good comedy. And at least you know you're hitting someone close enough to home to make them act like an ass in quasi-public.
