With the Apple iPhone almost here you're invited to the biggest iPhone forum online - IPHONEFORUM[dot]info gets you there (replace the [dot] with a real one ;)) - currently 2,000 members and growing!
Bullshit. It's not even close to what the internet looks like on a high end laptop or desktop. I went to a place where they showcased this. The resolution is worse and despite the fact what the ad says. YES it's still an abbreviated version of the Internet. Why do they keep lying?
@ Ibhenriksen : it runs a fully W3C compliant web browser, it shows webpages exactly the same way as if it was a laptop or a desktop. It is not a WAP browser, it is not using WML... its a regular browser and as such loads pages as any other regular browser. Do you even have any idea of what you are talking about?
@ diogo86 : they have demo'ed it (meaning, first public call) when it was presented. The video is all over the web and each Mac World event is available to be seen on Apple's website. They also have there a 20 minute video presentation of all the main features of the iPhone. If you haven't watched any of these was because 1- you actually don't care ; 2- you just woke up from a coma.
they forgot to show the bloddy 10 minutes wait time... iphones suck, as do imacs, i whatevers and ibooks and other i products.
if apple doesnt want to lose money, they better stick to making ipods. apple is making a mistake...as sony did with the ps3... no one thinks sony is a good company anymore anyway (ahem, exploding batteries)
I think ipods suck because they break, theyre a rip off, you have to use itunes (unless your clever) and the stupid white earphones make you a moving target to muggers. If this is anything like an ipod it will suck. (Mac books are good though)lol, its not my opinion its fact, OK?
I agree that Ipods do indeed suck, there basically MP3's with an extortionate price, the only reason people get them is so they can say "hey look i have an ipod" or because they actually have itunes.
But the Iphone looks amazingly awesome in every way.
iphones are cool but at $500 dollars no way and since i live in canada i cant download movies or tv shows off itunes so i am deffinetly not getting one
I am buying one for myself and wife. Sucks you have to use AT&T though. Oh well the best phone ipod on the market. I have been waiting for this for years.
Paris Hilton ihas been grossly misrepresented by the media, she has had an upbringing of privelige and is of a class we are not fit to criticize, her family owns the HILTON HOTEL CHAIN people!!!
The fact that we can send members of the aristocracy to prison for minor offenses while rappers remain free makes me yearn for simpler times
Br, sorry to say but I am very familar with the E6300. My cousin has it. The best and most important feature of the iphone is it being a true ipod with phone and internet cap. No phone can play music as loud and clearly as the new iphone. This is why people will be buying the iphone. Besides its the best looking and easiest to use. It has the lastest voice appl. So if you have an odd speach it will detect and cal. Also it will come out in 4GB and 8GB. 2GB is old news.
I agree, but the Iphone is not primitive. This is not the year 2050. And know is comparing a p.c to phone. That would be like comparing a tv and a dvd player, each have there use.
tooo bad that phone suck monkey nut. Its excpensive, its only 2gb... but i mean if you had $500!! to spend however you want like bill gates. id buy. But suck on tht monkeys nuts.
Well, not really. There IS a distinct point in the difference. MOST web sites look like crap on most smart phones. I should know, I'm a web designer who always has to view my sites on every platform on every browser, including smart phones. I have seen over 15 different smart phones over the past year alone. This is for a reason: The browser on these phones don't work the same way that a browser works on a computer. (Continued below) . .
The smart phones don't have an OS in the same way that a typical computer does. So, what you end up with is a smart phone with a very unique OS, if you can call it that, and a very unique browser - neither of which are going to view a web site the same way that a computer and its own browser are. They are much more limited. Remember, the web site compliances were made with certain types of browser engines in mind. None of which were smart phone browsers. (Continued below) . . .
For example, if a web site uses an exact pixel width (as opposed to a percentage) a typical smart phone won't be able to show the missing content if that pixel dimension falls out of range of a smart phone's screen. Or at the very least, it would have to do a lot of scrolling. (Continued below) . . .
The iPhone is unique in that it has a REGULAR computer browser it is using (Safari) using a near exact version of MAC's OS X. It takes what a browser sees as a pixel width and scales it according to its OWN pixel dimensions. This I'm afraid IS unique in the smart phone world.
The way they are advertising it is correct. Most phones have a version of the internet that does not support more advanced features, such as CSS. The iPhone uses Safari, which is a full blown internet browser, which most phones do not have.
To clarify, I do understand that the web is a particular application accessed via the internet, I'm just concerned that even if it's not really a critical point, a computer company is promoting a misconception!
Yeh, I wondered why they only have 2.5g on this thing. Then I remembered how backwards America's phone network is. I sure hope this baby is 3G by the time it hits my shores. :)
Wrong. It IS the internet. Connection to a server - mail, web, database - on the internet is achieved with the iPhone. You use an IP (Internet Protocol) address to connect. This defines an internet connection. That aside, your argument is mostly semantic, as the "Web" and the "Internet" are, by and large, considered synonymous for all intents and purposes.
Maybe he would be happier if the ad said : "It's the Hypertext Transfer Protocol running on a mobile phone". Yeah, that would really roll off the tongue. :D
It's not the internet at all - I know the iPhone has internet connectivity to achieve access to this, but it's the WEB. What you see in a web browser is the web.
No, you see web pages in a web browser. The web is a term coined from the metaphor that each page links to several others, creating a "web" of pages. What a lame discussion. iPhone rocks.
LOL are you serious? Well fuck me, if that's the case then "the Internet" isn't the Internet, it's actually a collection of protocols that use the network originally created by the government called ARPANET. Can we split this hair any further?
It's not splitting hairs; you don't interchange "email" and "internet", do you? "I sent you an internet"? Web, email, instant messaging - they're all applications that are accessed by clients via the internet (which used to be ARPANET).
The web is a term to describe lots of text files, with extensions like .html and .php and such, containing instructions to display a layout in a web browser instead of you downloading a .txt or a .doc of information.
It's ADVERTISING for god's sake. It is supposed to be catchy, convey a message, and sell a product to the average television viewer. My 5 yeaar old says he wants to go on the "dot com", when he wants to look at a website. I get what he wants.
