OS X iPhone and OS X Leopard Banners at WWDC

I think they didn't put Mac in front of OS X Leopard for one of two reasons:

1. They couldn't fit it on the banner without making the font smaller.
2. The iPhone banner with Mac OS X iPhone wouldn't be appropriate since the iPhone isn't a Mac.

There's no way that Apple will be selling OS X for Windows boxes in the first place. Steve Jobs hated clones and killed them off after coming to Apple in 1997. It would drive away sales from their hardware.
 
I just hope we see an iPhone nano at some point this year. Maybe before the christmas season.

It always makes me smile to see heated debate going on in this forum right before a keynote. : )

I know, I know. But there's now Quicktime, iTunes and even Safari for Windows. And who would have ever thought Apple would go to Intel CPUs?
 
Guys, it is just me or does the iPhone look way to big when it's placed in the front of MBA? :D

(Tallest Skil, I'm funny right? ;))
 
I can't believe they would change the design to have it wider at the end with the home button and smaller and the speaker end...seems like it would fit funny in your hand.:(
 
I don't understand the people on this site. Over 400 posts for this story? Come on.
 
This is most peoples way of distracting themselves from reality. I think the keynote will be better if we find something else to do than sit around on this site and debate nonsense. I myself, have planned a trip to Cedar Point. That's how I'll forget all this momentarily.:)

Apple writes "Mac OS X 10.5" not "Mac OS 10.5" or "Mac OS X.5"

The X is part of the name not the version number.

So apple decided to throw years of tradition out of the window?

I don't think so.

Sorry, there is no such thing as "Mac OS X" version "10.5". What happened to the other 9 versions?

There are 10 versions of Mac OS, in which apple is interchangeably using X instead of saying 10 because it just sounds better.

Mac Os 10.5 = Mac Os X Leopard.

Umm, look at all of Apple's own marketing and labeling. In fact, on your own computer (you are using a Mac, right?) look at your "About this Mac" dialog in the Apple Menu. What are you running? It says "Mac OS X" then underneath that "Version 10.5.3" or whatever version you're running. Look at the online Apple Store: Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard.

Apple's clearly refuting your idea there.

Have you considered the fact that Apple now has two O/S's ?

While there used to be Mac OS X. It was for Macs.
Now we have two versions of OS X
OS X which is for the Mac and iPhone OS X which is for the iPhone and any other mobile O/S.

Not sure what gave it away... I'm thinking the owner of the picture (see the comments below the picture)

For those that don't know spanish,

en realidad es una imac pero la modifique en PhotoShop

just means

In reality, its an imac but modified in Photoshop.

That is all.

Doesn't really apply to what I was saying, but you're right to a degree. At heart, they are the same core operating system, but they have different GUI's and different frameworks applied, so to a developer, they're close to be completely different. I'm not a developer, so take the exact terminology with a grain of salt.

X = roman numeral for 10
so, X and 10 are synonymous

being said, while it is written as X, El Jobs has never once (publicly) called it Mac os "X". He always says 10. for example: the introduction of OS X

They should put this photo in the redundant FAIL thread.

The narc was so lame that he didn't even make it wider, like it would be hard to do in Photoshop. Not to mention that NOT EVERY NEW PIECE OF HARDWARE APPLE MAKES WILL HAVE A F*&%*NG BLACK BORDER AROUND IT!

Wannabe mockup artists make me wanna puke. It's a sad time to live in.... creativity and originality are all but extinct.
