New 'iProd1,1' Reference Found in iPhone OS 3.1 Beta Configuration File

[Thex1138]

Fpga

Can someone with acces please expand the 'Devices->iFPGA' device thread from the USBDeviceConfiguration.plist references in the OS 3.1 beta file and display that capture here?

Field Programmable Gate Array.

I am curious. 🙄

Cheers

So basically MacRumors encourages people to break the NDA to drive traffic to the site and get Ad revenue? How noble...

Mac OSX already has multi touch in it.

Which Mac OSX systems have multi-touch screens?

None.

It's a big step from gestures on a track-pad, to multi-touch screen UIs.

Windows has it in people's hands now, Apple doesn't even have any Mac hardware that supports multi-touch screens.

Microsoft is far ahead of Apple in multi-touch systems. Period.

MacRumors is not encouraging anything here, just reporting on already-leaked info, which, well, is their job.
Notice that this report did not even originate with MacRumors.

no, its just an iPhone.

Define a "Real" iPhone.

a scaled down version won't be bad, after all, thats what the mac mini and shuffle are.

not everyone wants the fancy bells and whistles.



who says its a media player?



Really? I thought I saw you at Starbucks this morning





but its not fully intergrated. not made for it, as good old Stevie thinks multi-touch macs are not "hip" these days

How is the implementation on Snow Leopard any different from Windows 7? 😕

We are talking about it being implemented in the OS and not if you can control it by touching a screen, Apple doesn't sell multitouch screens so your point is irrelevant.

Your counter is irrelevant.

Multi-touch screens are night-and-day different from a track-pad that supports gestures.

Apple has a track-pad with gestures, not a multi-touch system. Windows has pervasive multi-touch throughout the OS.

Look at people using an Iphone - they're touching the things that they're working with. They're not poking at some disconnected HID.

Night-and-day. Apple does gestures using more than one finger in OSX, not true multi-touch like Windows 7 and the Iphone.

Apple doesn't sell multitouch screens....

...but I bet that Apple is scrambling to catch up with Windows on this.

What pervasive systems are you talking about? I didn't see a single Windows multi-touch system at any of the last half dozen stores I went to. I'd love to see a demo but the dozen laptops at Microcenter didn't support it nor were any of the 30-40 or so screens.

Introducing the iProd,

The brand new totally reinvented iPod. Now featuring a revolutionary radio transmitter. Picking up both AM and FM frequencies. Yours for only 349$

Transmitters pick up frequencies?

Maybe the ones that'll be in the new Microsoft stores, the Surface tables that we'll be able to play with, ask if we can buy one and be told, "... er...erm...no. But this laptop is on sale!"

They're probably not in Walmart yet....

It is on the leading edge - but when you see "multi-touch" advertised big and loud when Windows 7 ships shortly you'll see what's happening.

My local Sam's Club has the Dell Studio 19" w/ Touch Screen. It's pretty nice even under Vista.

It's a nice perk but nothing I'd use for a prolonged period of time.

What the heck is true multi touch, the implementation on the track pads is multi touch, just because you aren't directly touching the screen with your oily fingers, doesn't make it any less of multi touch. Anyways we'll see which implementation ends up on top, touching your screen or using a trackpad.

The iProdigy might be the name.

Exactly. All Apple has for multi-touch is the ipod Touch/Iphone and a silly trackpad. But no actual systems.

but wouldnt it make sence to have systems that have multi-touch, and not just the OS.

HP Touch smart?

Keep in mind, its still new. So you shound't be complaining that there arnt that many out yet

The trackpad isn't anymore sillier than touching your screen.

How about a trackpad with an ACTUAL button.

how so?

 

[Marx55]

THE FULL Mac OS X inside is a must. For Keynote and PowerPoint presentations using video-out port.

Here is an order of thousands for our University.

Um, the glass MacBook Pro trackpads have two "buttons", the bottom left and right corners physically "click" for configurable left and right buttons.

Yep, seems that it was rather challenging to pull off, in May of 2008: Full screen Multitouch OS X

....not that you come off sounding like a ranting 12 year old, or anything like that.

iProd 1,1

Thisis certainly interesting as only yesterday in the tube station coming out of London I was next to someone who appeared to have a smaller version of an iPhone similar in dimensions to the last generation iPod nano.

seems a realistic lineup of new products.

Not sure about the others but the iPhone3,1 is incorrect. "China" iPhone? They wouldn't designate an entire update to china. Especially a 2,1 to 3,1 update.

The 3,1 is the next year's iPhone. The 2,1 to 3,1 goes along with a new processor much like the 3G to 3GS was 1,2 to 2,1. An integer upgrade seems to indicate a processor change, and I would expect it to be the new dual core processor.

The China model probably won't have wifi and some other hardware and service differences, it certainly justifies his own modelnumber i would think.

As an extra, the iPhone 4G for the 4G network will have model number 4.x 🙂
