"The iPhone - which might get a very different name when introduced - isn't a mobile phone; it's a phone connectivity service. As with so many recent Apple introductions, it is mostly relevant for the US, since that is where the cross-over points between Internet and local phonelines will be introduced. The widespread practice in the States of letting local phone calls be free is to a large extent what makes the idea interesting.

The network will have three major components: Mac-to-other computers, Mac-to-fixed phones (the call is sent via a locally stationed computer), and Mac-to-SMS. The latter is more relevant in Europe, but only the countries that already have such a (non-Mac) service will be eligible.

These services will be tied in with the .mac package. Needless to say, using relevant software (faxSTF, etc), one can send faxes.

The Mac-to-Mac part will include voicemail, VoIP, and videophoning; however, all these things will probably introduced in several packages.

And Apple just MIGHT introduce a VERY elegant headset module (ear-/microphones), using the upcoming standard Bluetooth integration in new Macs - as an extra, of course. Long-term, Apple is working on renewing voice-command/dictation services in the OS (still discussing whether to invest a MAJOR pile of cash on such a risky software development project, or go out and acquire the rights from someone like, say, Philips), and that also demands such a device, of course." (macrumor discussion)

Erst heute entdeckt: 'Mundian to bach ke' von Panjabi MC. Auf Viva gibts das Video dazu. Wann veranstaltet Hans Kulisch eigentlich sein nächstes Indian Masala?

"A survey commissioned and published by National Geographic shows that a large majority of young Americans between the age of 18-24 are geographically illiterate. (...) 11% could not locate the U.S. on a map."

Kuroshin: 85% of young adult Americans don't know where Iraq is


 

Eine feine Analyse von Justin Hall: From Weblog to Moblog. Ist jedoch nicht der einzige interessante Artikel, den thefeature.com ("it's all about the mobile internet") zu bieten hat.


 

"Nachdem seit einigen Monaten ein Teil des Inhalts nur noch gegen Bezahlung angeboten wurde, können User, die einen kleinen Werbemarathon über sich ergehen lassen, jetzt wieder auf den gesamten Content zugreifen. Über die so genannten "Ultramercials", die derzeit von Mercedes-Benz geschalten werden, umgeht man die Kosten für einen Premium-Zugang. Klickt man sich durch die vierseitige Anzeige für die E-Klasse von Mercedes, hat man für zwölf Stunden Zugang zu den Abo-Inhalten." (kürzlich in der futurezone gelesen.)

Hilfe!


 

"Apple is in for another G4 drought in early 2003, whereby Motorola may not be able to push the G4 above 1.3 Ghz, which would be a paltry 50 Mhz speed bump with the upcoming 7457 G4. Right now, 7457 G4 yields above 1.3 Ghz are poor, as Motorola still has problems with their 0.13 Micron process IBM expects to be shipping the 970 in quantity early in Q3 of next year, in which time Apple will unveil the new pro desktops. The most likely introduction date is a Macworld NY keynote announcement, and if that does not materialize, Seybold will be the venture."

Dies wird bei macrumors gemunkelt.


 

Abgesehen von der Auflösung der FPÖ und der starken Mobilisierung der Wählerschaft hat diese Wahl nichts bewegt.
