Who cares? I thought this was macrumors not android news...

I also thought it was Macrumors and not iPhonerumors :)

Macrumors is just the name of the site, whatever "rumors" get posted just have to somehow relate to Apple I guess.

What the heck is a "golden master candidate"? Google search only hits on this story and a story about iOS 4.0. As far as I know, Apple doesn't use the term. Someone made it up and ran with it.

It makes no sense. There are Release Candidates, and there are Golden Masters.

I was thinking the same thing; it doesn't make much sense to have a candidate for a supposedly Golden Master build. There shouldn't be more than one!

On another note, I am really loving Lion because everything seems more intuitive to use. I love the small things, like moving forward and backward in Safari. I'm also loving the full screen feature.

I just wish the way it was mounted was better, not just glue.

Ummm... It's not just glue. It uses the same suction mount as their other units. I think there is an adhesive disk you can use as well. (Not sure if you stick that to where you want to me able to mount it with suction or exactly how that works.)

I've used a similar type of suction mount with Griffin's Window Seat. It's not just a simple suction cup. You place it where you want to put it, then turn another part to increase the suction. It sticks great to glass, be it the windshield, a side window, or the sunroof (for kids to watch in the back seat), for days at a time. The Window Seat isn't the best implementation of it - I understand that TomTom's is better (easier to attach and detach).

If this is true it might not make people happy at all..
and most of it is that the hackers and jailbreakers will have less hassel in it ..

once they find the holes int he iOS 5 then since no more updates will be there it will make happy to people who rely on unlock..

and sad to those people who needs new and extra features..

Unfortunately, I'm pulled back into thinking, "What could Apple do with phones that hasn't already been done." Small, light, photos, video, internet, music, games, personal organization? Most of this is pretty well covered with the current offerings. So what is going to be the selling point here? Is it going to be expensive or affordable? Is it going to be full-featured or bare bones?
Very good questions.

- Apple could release a stylish simple phone with a simple interface, and the capability of an iPod shuffle built in. There would really be nothing special about such a phone - at most they might give it 3G data connections so someone with a MacBook could use it to get on the net.

- They could certainly be the first provider to make a phone that can ONLY be used handsfree (via the headphones).

- They could leverage their airport base stations to release a VoIP phone that works at home, work, and wireless hotspots.

- The obvious untapped area is integration of VoIP, 3G, & video - but all the big companies are looking at that. The other thing that most mobile companies are having trouble with is the killer app - so many phones have data connectivity, and people just don't know what to do with it. If Apple can make a compelling product there the phone companies will want to sell it.

ps. Apple might choose to make a phone with no music capability... just to delineate the product. That gives people something to understand... and then they can release the combo products.

Is this whole heat sinked ram issue for real?

I just ordered the top o line, Macpro. but with base ram as usual onoly to see the FB- blah blah heat sinked, get nothing else or your computer will become the wind tunnel of hell, Is this true.

Should I get a 2gig base and try to work up from there?

Hellllpppp!

OMG estimated shipping date Sept 12th, they gotta be kidding!

I agree. Given the last Ford we purchased leaked and after 6 months of trying to fix it, the Ford dealer said "well, everything leaks" and said they'd give a good deal on it to trade it in if we wanted. And the last GM we had stalled every morning when you were pulling out on to the road and the dealer said that it was "just the way the car was made," and could never fix it I wouldn't buy an American made car unless they started getting good reports both for quality upfront (they just sound cheap compared to a Honda, Mercedes, Lexus, Porsche, or Toyota) and for quality over 5-6+ years of ownership. And the previous American made cars we had were of similar low quality.


To be fair (and way OT) Ford really do seem to have upped their game, and GM are at least trying.

I'm actually seriously considering the new 2012 Focus, or the Fiesta as a second car. I wouldn't even have looked in Ford's direction two years ago.

...I walk away to contemplate seppuku

That is over dramatic, cut it out.

I'm with the future-proofing crowd. As cool as retina displays would be, I just don't think we're gonna see it for another few years.

The advantage you're talking about here is one of degrees. One may be slightly faster than the other, but it's not a revolutionary shift to a better system. I would compare this sort of change to a small upgrade in processing power. The advantages of the metric system over imperial run much deeper than that, so it's a poor analogy.

Can you cite reliable figures for the cost advantage versus the cost to switch?

That's NOT the context here.

I'm the one that raised the point in the first place! I think I set the context!

And don't tell me you take the EULA seriously.

I do. I don't have any need to violate it. I only have one Mac.

All of my computers have a fully licenced copy of Windows XP or 7 on them.

Damn, and I just got my new MacBook yesterday

oh well, I caught the last round of iBook updates last year, and that left me on the bleeding edge for several months. I'll see what it looks like in second place for a while.

Plus if my MacBook gets lonely and depressed he can talk to my 1st gen PowerMac G5

(God I need more RAM for the MacBook)

I guess the later release of the next gen iPhone would make sense at least, in terms of the release of the white iPhone 4.

When Philip Schiller said the white iPhone 4 would arrive 'this spring', many questioned the logic, given the 'impending' Summer release of the iPhone 5.

The timing of this release obviously makes makes more sense now (if this latest rumor is true lol).

the macbook was released mid may 06. so i would expect some update in october given the fast processor updates.

certainly a good time for mac users.:)
For sure, they might even announce something at WWDC?

what makes you think that you can copy it to a USB drive or disc? I have disc for Tiger, Leopard, and Snow Leopard. None of those disc can be copied, some of them can only be used on their original machine (or the exact model). the past 3 OSes can't be copied, and so far there's nothing to suggest we can just make backup copies of Lion.

Oh really? (http://www.walterjessen.com/make-a-bootable-backup-snow-leopard-install-disc/)

As an aside: The disks that only work with one computer are the ones that ship with new macs. No upgrade* disks sold in the Apple Store have that restriction, and there's no reason to assume the mac app store would be any different.

*The "upgrade" disks are full installs, but since the only legal way to install OSX is to install it on a mac that already came with a version of OSX, all standalone disks are technically upgrades.

As much as I want to see Apple sell phones, I also like to see healthy competition to keep away anti-trust issues. Apple is for people who like quality high-end stuff and Android is for Kmart shoppers ;)

All hail Tim Cook!

Seriously though, I think people are going to be surprised at how well RIM rebounds. Not that they are going to stop or even slow the iPad or iPhone train, but I will surprised if they don't carve themselves out a pretty good niche.

They're a much more resilient company than that for which they are given credit. Do some serious research into the company as though you were looking to invest, and you'll find out that they got a little too complacent for a time, but they have some vision that will surprise people in the coming years.

Seriously? A company with 2 CEO's and 3 COO's is not well structured or well managed. A company who has just downgraded earning expectations for the coming quarter is not well managed. A company whose stock price has crashed by more than 50 % in the last 18 months and is hoping that a new product that has been announced over 8 months ago, yet appears to be rushed to market and as it relies on another product to give it 3G connectivity has neither a product nor is a company with vision.

Excellent.

So, lets see if I understand?

Apple is doing everything they can to move things to the cloud while AT&T and Verizon are ratcheting down how much you can use their network to access what you put in the cloud...

MobileMe is great to me.

Other then when it was FIRST launched and they kept extending the trial for like 4 months. I seldom if all have issues.

I bet you a Macbook Pro that the Macbook Pro will be the first of these updated computers! ;)

Little problem with my TT car kit. My iPhone no longer automatically pairs with the car kit when I plug it in. I use to be able to turn BT on and plug it in the TT kit and it would pair in a few seconds. Now I have to manually pair the two by going into the BT settings on the iPhone.

Anyone else with this problem?

Not yet... I get a little beep and they are paired within a few seconds.

WWDC 2006 SteveNote Countdown Widget (http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/developer/wwdc2006countdown.html)

So you can count down from 5 to Zero by the minute. :p

As a side note a AMD3500/6800GT combo will still hammer the base unit in Doom3:p

The real question, however is, who even cares about Doomed III?

I surely don't hope you buy a Mac Pro to play that awful game . . .

The base unit will hammer the AMD Athlon64 3500+ into the ground in everything else ;)
