Then I posted a third reply, suggesting that Apple must only have deleted the feature from Leopard because it didn't work with the iPhone. My logic (in the post) was that nothing but PRIDE could force Apple's hand to remove a useful feature.
Next thing I know the whole thread was gone.
Perhaps Apple's forum automatically bans any thread that someone posts to three times in a row.
Or maybe I stumbled on the truth
Nah. Ease off on the conspiracy theories there, sparky
1) The iPhone cannot be used as a modem for the computer. However, Leopard can still do this fine with other phones.
2) The OS X team are simply not going to reduce functionality because of another product. Sheer developer-bloody-mindedness would ensure that.
3) Address Book does contain Bluetooth-related icons, resources and preferences which were not in 10.4's Address Book. So, some work
has gone into this feature -- it's just not been completed. If you're rushing to meet a deadline, you always have to prioritise. No matter when a deadline is, there's always one more feature you would have liked to get done before release. AB's BT support simply didn't get there in time.
4) Believe it or not, although Apple has this reputation of secrecy, cloak-and-dagger malarkey and whatnot, you'd be surprised how often it turns out that good ol'
Occam's Razor applies pretty damn well. Don't try to overcomplicate/overthink.
