iPhone Extreme?

oops, not quite,,
they posted an updated saying it was just a sloppy 'cut and past' from the term 'airport extreme'. oh well
 
PDF format

Can't you already add docs in PDF format to iPhoto and view them on the iPhone?

Yes and no. You can only add JPEG files to iPhoto, which literally is a low-res photo of the document. When zooming the document, the fonts lose all sharpness...... not a great solution. (yet)
 
I think Apple did it on purpose to see if people would notice and start talking about it. I would. Of course, it could be just the baddestassed new form of viral marketing. Next thing you know the next next Batman movie's title will be announced in the source text of some web page.
 
let me a add a bit to this rumor...

Now I KNOW this has no real substance...BUT
In talking with a relative this past weekend who is an AT&T network engineer... He mentioned to me that Apple was going to release a new iPhone before the Christmas holiday. he didnt say anything more.. or less.

again. I know this is nothing solid...but just another rumor...

We'll see what really happens.

I believe that there are some 3rd party apps that make that possible...

Actually there is this great 1st party app called "mail" which allows you to transfer pdf files to your iPhone, and read them whenever you want.

i have about 2000 pdf files on my hd. id like to load 200 onto my phone/pda and select what i need to read. mailing two gigabytes of data is kinda tedious.

That is a great friggn idea. We are dealing with the iPhone/rebate already. And Leopard is supposed to be released this month.
Tada! Apple anounces a new iPhone just before Christmas. Nothing like stirring up the pot.
Let the iPhone/Touch/Super Duper/Whatever bashing begin.
What? It does not include Quickbooks, Boot Camp, Final Cut Express.
Well what good will a new iPhone be then.:rolleyes:

...but i think if you are away from your mac you can only see subscribed ical calenders via .mac and those are not editable. the calendars that you synce back home might be outdated. so it's not a fully web based calendar i guess. same for adressbook. is that correct?

In my experience, you are correct. Changes to a shared cal will not immediately post. In that sense, there is no .Mac syncing (nor is there any .Mac coordination anywhere else that I can tell). The best you can do is sync with your Mac regularly and push those changes through.

.Mac support is near the top of my wishlist, after (Apple native) To Dos and a dictionary.

Why do people get pissed? I'm psyched...a newer, faster iPhone soon? Sweet, sign me up.

If you want to live on the bleeding edge you need a strong stomach and a healthy bank account.

What do you mean about the healthy bank account? We have unlimited data/e-mail.

I heard the same thing from a business support person at AT&T. That the 5-year exclusive with Apple wasn't limited to the current iPhone, and that they would be coming out with other phones later(this was a couple months back).
 
hmmm.... iPhone Extreme. I picture an iPhone with a 42" widescreen plasma multi-touch display. Comes with one of these furniture dollies to carry it around. Or maybe it could be a "headless" iPhone, using a heads-up Kopin microdisplay built into a pair of stylish sunglasses with input via retina tracking. At least it's not an iPhone shuffle... press a button and it calls a random person from your contacts list.

Excellent points! But imagine the battery life on an iPhone Shuffle......

Apple Inc. must save thousands of dollars in advertising by adding small snippets of code in a html page, have people drop hints, etc. and watch us bumpkins run with it.....

Knowing quite assuredly that rumor-mongers will analyze it with a fine tooth comb and spread their discoveries like wildfire......
