LOL, well put.
No matter what, this is what Steve says. I think he said it about the MBP update, too, and most people were very disappointed by it.
Which will (if history is a guide) get 2.5 hours of battery life running that Flash and get hot enough to fry an egg on.
The more people buy and use Flash-less iPhones and iPads, the more they realize missing Flash is a minor, occasional inconvenience more than a deal-killer. Which is becoming even more rare as more and more sites move to Flashless alternatives (HTML5, dedicated native apps).
why does macrumors always gana say "also since we want more ad revenue we are gana say at the end of a none related rumor random people that have been saying the same thing since 2007 believe there is a Verizon iphone"
come on first it's none related and two a person who knows anything about
and the people making up these random claims since 07 know there isnt gana be a Verizon iphone this year.

You do realize those aren't photos, right? Definitely 3D renders and most likely not reflective of what Apple will offer. Black for sure, probably white based on the recent actual photos, other colors who knows?
I hooked up my iPad to my HDTV to watch a podcast. I then set it down on a table next to my Apple TV. I then had an epiphany.
We really don't know what's coming to us in 2 weeks.
"taking the piss" is a slang term used in the British form of English. You'll hear this term a lot in England/UK.
It basically means "Is Google ***** with us?"
Ethan
oh no I understand u completely. I just see a lot of people saying 2.2 is giving apple a run and i wanted to know how. most of that stuff apple has already with the exception of over air syncing.
I guess im becoming an apple fanboy but not the crazy kind. I do use a nexus 1 and i have 2.2 installed with flash. and to tell the truth it is just a bit faster than 2.1, but i must say that the browser is fast like google said it to be.
AppleTV has nothing to do with developers, so don't count on it.
Maybe in September, with the iTunes/iPod updates.
LOL. Now THAT is a stereotype. Super posh.
Oh wait... you probably don't know what the even means.
Uhh...Apple "disses" the competition constantly, what are you even talking about?
I watched the Google I/O thing. Yeah that Vic guy took a couple shots at Apple, but certainly nothing beyond what Apple does.
Also, I am a little surprised Jobs responded to an email that stated "F Google
" That's simply ridiculous Steve.You know what dude don't buy any Apple products. With that kind of attitude, your the baby and should be kicked out of any apple store you walk into. Do you innovate what have you ever done? It's amazing someone even has to open your eyes to this. Wake up better yet show some respect. Yeah........RESPECT

Well Said.
I tend to agree that AppleTV is more likely to be rebooted in its own dedicated event but I think it will have EVERYTHING to do with developers and iPhone/iPad/iPod in its next iteration so I wouldn't write off it being announced @ WWDC.
God I love Steve Jobs. I don't think anyone else could ever write more meaningful and powerful 5 word emails.
Obv he didn't care. Besides he's a genius, not a God.
LOL!

Apple TV vs. Google TV?
I really hope this will be the year Apple stops treating Apple TV as a hobby and kicks it into high gear. I have a HDTV, no cable, and money just waiting to drop on a good product. I need a Massive hard drive, exclusive content, and some killer feature I haven't even thought of yet (and yes I realize that these things can be built and used from various parts, but I want a clear simple one box option)...if i don't get that..it might just be time to buy the Boxee box. Come on Steve make me spend a months pay on a great phone and something to put in my living room.
and yeah i know this was already talked about on this thread...just throwing out my own wishing star

Nice One!
I kinda enjoyed the email. It's just a huge Apple fan saying "Google has really been doing some smack talking at their IO conference. Hope you've got something in your back pocket". I feel the same way. Apple's done a LOT (from the Apple II to the iMac to iTunes, to iPod, to iPhone and now iPad... not to mention the iLife Suite and their Pro apps). Google's done a few really cool things, but they probably don't deserve quite the level of praise that they've gotten. I think they fixed search and deserve every credit for that, but now they have to wait while others catch up (can't add too much to Search without ruining the simplicity, so Google is a sitting duck there). They've added some awesome stuff to Maps, but let's not forget we could get directions before Google Maps. Android is fine, but not for me.
Google's Android is great for the tinkerers, but it doesn't have the polish of iPhone; if you can't see the difference, I really think you just don't have an eye for the stuff, because the iTouch platform is FAR more mature and far better looking. If freedom, to you, means freedom to have a messy phone desktop and analog clocks, then you can keep it. The iPhone is better and that's all there is to it. Part of Apple's strengths is their partnerships (which allow us to legitimately and easily purchase media of all types) and part of that is a concession that will close up some holes that can be used for piracy (read: app store). They wouldn't have magazines on board if you could pirate them, and they wouldn't have music on board if iTunes had BitTorrent built in.
All this is not to say there isn't room for improvement, but I'd say that Apple has been doing a brilliant job. For all those smack talking, where were your favourite companies with their mobile OSs when Apple made you yawn with the iPhone? All the phones where ****. You're welcome. Who was making compelling tablets before Apple released theirs? Who plugged the gushing music piracy hole when everyone was stealing? Who got good looking computers into people's houses when everyone was doing beige? Who first attached a mouse to a home computer? Who replaced the Discman? Who put fonts on computers?
Not every company needs to have their success in the same way, but people don't seem to understand that. They think to compete with another company, you have to do the same thing as them, but that's not the case. Doing that, you lose any competitive advantage you have. You don't beat Microsoft by trying to be a better Microsoft. You don't beat Google by trying to be as open and web based as them. You out to play to your strengths, and that's exactly what Apple is doing. They can be the best walled garden you've ever been in. Their approach is holistic. They are the hardware, the software, the cloud, the merchant, the service, the tools.
If you like what they make, then buy it. If you don't like it, then don't buy it. I don't think the complainers should force an inventor to change his inventions. Especially with these guys' track record.
Here's what I hope for at WWDC. Maybe a couple surprises with the iPhone, iLife updates, iWork updates, and a new Mac Pro. I'll survive if they don't and every thing additional is gravy.

Hi sorry it is a British thing, didn't even think that it wouldn't make sense in the US. After all you do speak our language. Being tee total I was not drunk either, just didn't really expect the email to go through to Steve let alone to get a response.
Best regards
