Comments on: Apple rumor: Launch e-mail from an iPhone note?

It seems that the Mobile Notes application in iPhone OS 3.0 is capable of detecting phone numbers, URLs, and e-mail addresses when viewing a note. Get that story and other rumors of what's cooking in Cupertino here.

I never would have guessed. I thought AT&T hated this phone.

I mean, look at all the publicity ATT has had because of it. *shudder*

by ikramerica--2008 March 26, 2009 11:50 AM PDT: SNOW LEOPARD: lord, I hope they change the look. I am so tired of this brushed metal stuff. And it's hard for older people to read (not me, my parents). Please apple, allow for third party skins again, or at least allow us mere mortal users to adjust colors and such like Windows has been able to do for decades. It's okay to copy MS sometimes, when it is a good thing you are copying. :); Like this

Why do I have to keep saying it. Apple already has a netbook called the MacBook Air!

by csoccer1 March 23, 2009 7:54 PM PDT: the macbook air is not a netbook. like the dell adamo and sony p series, the macbook air is in the high end luxury "ultra portable" market. a market that really has no exact purpose except to look pretty and be expensive. if i wanted a laptop that thin, i'd buy the air. but i don't.; Like this


by renGek April 7, 2009 12:47 PM PDT: If "thin" is the defining standard of something becoming luxury then I am one of the most luxurious person in the country. Luxury to me states that it does 9 out of 10 things really really well with the highest quality in build and performance. If chevrolet puts out a "luxury" car by charging a lot of money and is small but doesn't really perform that well nor are the seats the best its not a luxury car. Its a suckers car. macbook air is thin but it totally lacks horsepower. Netbooks by definition is suppose to lack horsepower thats why the cost is low.; Like this

by jag0 March 23, 2009 3:35 PM PDT

Most Netbooks can be bought for well under $500 ($300-350 for the superior Acer & MSI models as opposed to the overpriced Dell & HP) units.

As for cheap and chintzy? Hardly...I've been able to run just about everything under the sun (minus cutting edge games) without a problem AND double triple boot Win7, Ubuntu and Mac OS X without any problems. Steve Jobs was (and still is) smoking crack when he said they were "cheap."

Uh, yea...they're netbooks. The idea is that you use them mainly browser-based apps. Criticizing a netbook because it can't edit movies is like criticizing a toaster because it doesn't make coffee.; Like this

I suppose you want it to be able to play Crysis as well right? /rolls eyes

I do actually have Photoshop installed on it (on both my WinXP & Mac OS X paritions...and even on Win7 Beta at one point) and it runs it fine for normal tasks & even image stitching but of course it can only do so much both b/c of processor power & screen size.; Like this

Holy Moly ! PALM is up another 12% today !!! Pre is gonna kick ass !

Like this Reply to this comment


by ikramerica--2008 March 24, 2009 2:03 PM PDT: AAPL is up 40% since their low. And they didn't fall nearly as far as PALM. PALM fell 90% from it's high, Apple a "mere" 60%, but that was an all time high for AAPL. From PALM's all time high? They were down 99.8%! So now, they are only down about 98.8% from their all time high...

Good to see PALM coming out of the doldrums. Hopefully they can return to providing products a growing number of people want, rather than a shrinking number of people.; Like this


by rapier1 March 25, 2009 1:18 PM PDT: What really matters is when you bought into the stock. If you purchased APPL and PALM at the beginning of 2009 you've made 152% on PALM and 11% on AAPL. If you purchased at the beginning of 2008 then PALM is up 35% and APPL is down 43%. So its just a matter of timing.; Like this


by CupertinoBill April 17, 2009 7:47 PM PDT: Wow up to over $9. And the company stock cap is almost 1.4 billion. Heck Apple could buy Palm with their cash and have almost 25 billion left over....and they might if they saw a threat there. Vaporware everywhere. Grow up..; Like this

I hope Apple doesn't allow ATT to put non-removable Crap Apps on the iPhone. I might be forced to switch to an Android phone.

Why is this story about Snow Leopard mixed up with old stories and comments? Anyway, I think Apples sudden change of focus around Snow Leopard is simply because Windows 7 is letting them wet the bed at night. They are just realizing that under the hood improvements the OS delivers is not significant enough for most average consumers and they will not fork out cash just to be able to take advantage of an OS that will do something theoretically. Especially since Apple will not be offering such systems in the first place. Windows 7 is major, its faster, its sexy, its easy to use and its getting rave reviews and it disturbs Apple.

yes they have and so has Leopard for years too
but unlike windows users who still use windows 98 and Xp
most Mac users tend to use the latest Mac O.S
and since the majority of Windows users still buy the 32 bit Windows versions
Apple is in a much better position to make the complete transition !; Like this

Err... Leopard is a 32 bit kernel with 64 bit extensions.

Just so you know.; Like this


by CupertinoBill April 17, 2009 7:54 PM PDT: Yes mark, but Snow Leopard ain/t. 64 bit all the way, and it can run Win XP, Vista, Win 7 and Umbutu all at the same time it runs Mac OS. So suck on that cheapskates.; Like this


by slice77 March 25, 2009 2:41 PM PDT: *** Crave? How is this part of the lust worthy gadget and tech blog that we all expect from you? Was today really that slow? And the title was a poor attempt to be cute and draw readers in.
On a second note, *** APPLE? Why have you not given the option to your users to change the color scheme before 2009? I'm sure this will be one of the new 100s of "features" that they are going to push to the media when Snow Leopard comes out.
I'm still saddened that Crave has given in and posted this bit of information just because Apple was in the title.; Like this Reply to this comment
