That looks horrible. Is it just me or do all apple products that are ported over to windows look horrible? Can not even Apple make a decent looking product for windows? I guess what really matters there is that it works well...I'll stick with mac, thank you very much.

Why does everything on the Windoze platform look like it's still 1983... Gates' designers made an attempt with Vista to make the interface look cool, & slick but, imho... I think they failed miserably.

This iChat window ... horrible... however if iChat for Windows is coming, it will very likely look just as bad as everything else on PC does...

off topic slightly... I use 2 PCs at work and a Mac... and it boggles my mind every time I use the PCs... I say to myself... I can't believe that most of the world puts up with this pathetic Machine / OS on a day to day basis... and they continue to use it and accept it. All I have to say is thank goodness for a guy like Steve Jobs and the trailblazing team he has assembled in CA. Ok, I'm finished Windoze bashing....:rolleyes:
 
Looks like iChat for windows is true :D . that means now people with mac can actually use iChat to use its great video chat with all their friends not just the few that have mac. I look forward to making all my friends download it.

Yes they do. Only because Apple they can't be bothered to make something look nice for Windows of all things...:confused:

Also, wow nep61. I joined this forum as a Mac user and enthusiast...however not even I feel the need to blast Windows :confused:
 
There are a number of other reasons cited here why this could be fake, but I wouldn't dismiss it based on the spelling of Xp or on the lack of a button on the red phone alone.

I work in advertising and I do things like these on a daily basis. Things have to be laid out before they go through Proofreading and Quality Control. If this is indeed a Photoshop screen from someone working on a web page layout, chances are that stage would happen before the copy was proofed for typos (Xp) and before Quality Control caught the missing button on the phone rendering, all ahead of shipping files to production.

We'll find out soon.

Most of the world puts up with Windows because it works fine, and they'd rather not be elitist Apple fanboys.
 
There better be video conferencing, especially after all this speculation or I'm going to hit the roof. I don't care what roof, just some roof. :cool:

Video conferencing wouldn't be used enough to justify it as a core new feature. Most people prefer not to be seen by the caller while talking on the phone. That's why the dial up video conferencing phones never took off, that and they were too expensive. Besides, do we really want people trying to look at some screen to see the other person while they are driving and sipping on a latte? If Apple does talk about 10.6, then I doubt much else can be squeezed into that amount of time. So just the iPhone hardware, iPhone 2.0 software, a look at 10.6 and that's probably it.
 
Yeah right, I'm calling this a fake...I don't think a company called APPLE with the owner known as STEVE JOBS would put someone in the headline with the last name Rodriguez. I am hispanic but the names commonly used or JOHN SMITH or american names...and no offense but I think that ugly picture of that guy would not be a good marketing move....Kind of creepy if you ask me.
 
Looks like still no Push To Talk Button

Looks like there is still no Push To Talk Button -- it could be made a programmable button, but AT&T Palm Treos have had PTT for a long time now...

Come on man, that's the most full blown fanboy statement I've read on this forum. You might as well get up off your knees and move away from Steve Jobs' crotch because what you're talking about makes no sense.

I prefer Vista's look to OSX. Also, what are you talking about "the iChat window is horrible"? It looks like every other window on my Macbook pro. :confused:
 
I think I believe these. Notice the tapered edges, similar to the Macbook Air. Apple applies similar design ideas to multiple products all the time. Also, the speaker and mic appear to be on the back because of the tapered edges. There isn't really a "bottom" for them to be on anymore.

That'd be fun to try and plug your headphones into the BACK of an iPhone. Imagine trying to put THAT in your pocket without an elbow adapter or something. It's simply not "Ergo-Functional". Why would you trade a horrible headphone jack location just to have a rounded edge? I'm hoping it's fake.
 
Super Fake --- here's more proof for the naysayers:

These photographs are super-grainy and badly lit on purpose, hiding the mistakes always associated with fakes. BUT... the supposed official Apple promotional material is open in what seems to be Photoshop -- at any rate, it's a digital file open on a computer. If it was real, only the biggest of morons would PHOTOGRAPH the computer screen. Every other person in the known computer world would do a screen shot (or screen print if you're on a PC) so that the file could be seen in all it's Apple digital glory. -- that or more simply: You size down the image in PS to something web-managable (say 800 x 600) and just post that around the web.

One can look at all the glaring errors in the images that make up the document to prove it is unofficial, but this, to me, is the biggest smoking gun we've got. You don't photograph the bloody monitor! If this were the phone itself, obviously you photograph the device from many angles (not just one single doofy photo of it sitting in a box (recent retarded fake)... but ask yourself: WHO would have this digital file anyway right now? I would imagine Apple does all its own printing for privacy's sake. If not (and I'd be highly surprised otherwise), the printers would be under strict contract to not allow any images out in the wild.

If anyone had anything real at this point (not associated with Apple), they would have the printed poster, which (if real) would be photographed many times -- from whole poster to close-ups of all the elements to prove its authenticity. This is could've been a more convincing fake if the faker-at-large would've have created this at poster resolution (20"x15" @ 300dpi, let's say) and then had it printed. Then taken photographs of the poster.

Of course, FAKER doesn't want the Mac Community to be able to see the lame quality images he has or the crappy low rez icons he's found for iChat/Exchange or for the crappy copy he's written to be scrutinized by those much more creative then he is. So he takes a photograph of his poorly-lit monitor and hopes it passes mustard.

It doesn't, fool.

If its fake, why didn't they just export it from photoshop? Its not like you can sit down at a restricted computer that you are walking by, export it and send it around.

please learn to spell. I think iChat on the mac still needs confernecing improvements such as a whiteboard and decent collaborative PDF functions ( without scren sharing ) and I think some academics would like native LaTeX support.
 
Iphone Pictures?

I know there are allot of rumors floating around about what the phone
might look like so I figured might post this one too. Who knows what
it might be like, their should be an Iphone photo website, make your
guess and win a prize. Funny

The main rumor that seems to be true though is that Apple sent out
boxes which is suppose to be the new 3G with a statement that this
box is not to be opened until the 10th. Can this be true, well I think
so because apple would know who has them and I'm sure after the
event they would go after people who violated the agreement.

camera=crap

i'd rather apple upgrade the crappy camera on the phone than add one for video conferencing. apple is years behind brands like sony ericsson as far as the camera goes.

Welcome to last MONTH!!!! :rolleyes: :D
 
Yeah, I don't even own a cell phone or a Iphone. I've been a PDA
user since they came out and will probably stick to them considering
my investment in software and toys.

Just with all the buzz and hooplaa figured I'd put in my 2 cents. I
really know nothing about the iphone, but watching all the posts
about what it might be like, who, where, when, how is just so
funny. Just love it.

If I had the time I would make my own photo for the website. But
it would more or less have a start button on it. He he

I see Steve in the conference room with hundreds of people
waiting to see the new Iphone. He pulls it out and everyone
starts taking pictures & video, then everyone rushes out of
the conference room headed for their laptops to upload pictures
and poor Steve is all alone wondering where everyone went.

Funny

Boy I just can't wait these next few hours until Steve jives his speech! I just wish there was a way to speed up time....Opps, that must be the "There's just one more thing"! Sorry, I am not supposed to speak of this!
