Hi Garth,

I think it wasn't meant to be a "live" link, just an example... But the forum automatically activates links (to make it easier for readers to check it out)...

(I de-activated the link to solve the problem! )

Cheers,

Dien

Thanks Dien,

Just tossing out Quick ideas in the wee hours...

With a Hint that both domain name(s) are available...

If you Google iPhone related Keyword phrases...

Besides a few Big name articles, a well researched informative iPhone resource could make some Good money as long as you're Careful with the trade mark...

Through iPhone advertising, sponsorships and other Creative ideas...

Keep in mind... No matter the business there's Always room for Competition...

Default Did Job's Steal The Idea?

Phil,

Thanks for ideas.

What the heck is an iPhone? "Thanks Megashake" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone

Interesting to see LG is claiming Jobs Stole the design from their PRADA phone. Of course, the similarities between the iPhone and other Large Screen PDAs would need to be taken into account. Mayhaps LG is looking for some Free Press.

I could see where LG might think Jobs is a thief. Xerox invented Windows, Jobs stole it then complained when MS stole it from him. HA!

As with the iPod, this is more about Hype then anything. Just another cell phone with web access abilities. Heck, my cell phone can do that now. It ain't touch screen, but so what? I don't use it to access the net, or watch teenage angst movies on youtube, now.

It'll take off as the trend following sheep jump to it. Oh well. Time to open a virtual ipod/iphone shop... if you can afford the Trademark Licenses - I see Jobs is in some hotwater there as well. HA!

And like the iPod, a non-user-replaceable battery. $500 down the drain when the battery dies 18 months down the track. I think not.

At least he's learning from IBM and allowing people to make Third Party Applications. But I won't jump for joy until I see them flood the market. - I won't jump for joy even if they do flood the market hehehehe.

Personally, I don't see a big enough advancement in technololgy to herold this is as the next sliced bread. But then again, he ain't trying to take over the world like Google. Just a tiny 1% of the cellphone pie - of course, he'll be happy if he gets more ;o)

Ever see that Scene in Star Wars where Obi Wan is told "if it's not in the archives it doesn't exist." Google and Wikipedia are "The Archives".

Now excuse me while I put some bread in my iToast, boil some water in my iPot and have a nice tea from my iCup. Ahhhh.... that's iBetter.

Michael Ross

P.S. I just thought... Job's created the biggest joke in history and no-one woke up to it. He called it the iPOD. And people blindly bought them, just like good POD PEOPLE do.

Default Re: I Want You To Accept Steve Jobs As Your Afford And Personal Savior

Gates stole from Jobs and Jobs stoled the mouse from others. Gates got Dos which started his career to billions by getting for $50,000.00. He already had it sold to IBM with a great licensing agreement. That was the key. His frieind and partner had told him about dos.

Obviously, you haven't used the iPhone.

I'd suggest that before making comments based on ignorance, that you visit an Apple store and check one out for yourself.

Trust me, you won't be saying stuff like "Heck, my cell phone can do that now"

Default Hmmm.

Jim,

Thanks for the suggestion.

Obviously I haven't use an Iphone - Not available in Australia yet. And when I made the comment they weren't available in the US yet either.

But as to my comment...

The iPhone can access the net, so can my current cell phone. So my statement that my phone can access the net now is correct.

And I suggest, before you call someone's comments Ignorant, you actually read what was written, not take things out of context, and check the dates of the posting in relation to the thing being commented about.

Because, Frankly, there was just no need for this drive-by jib from you out of nowhere.

Default Re: Hmmm.

Michael,

My "drive-by jib" was based on knowledge from actual use.

I didn't want people to think it's "Just another cell phone with web access abilities" because frankly, the technology used in the iPhone blows away anything currently out there.

Your web access capabilities and web browsing experience don't come close to what the iPhone offers.

The web experience is amazing. No other phone comes close.

The built in camera is amazing. No other phone comes close.

The photo viewing functions are incredible. Nothing else out there like it.

Text messaging is easier than it's ever been. Attaching photos to those messages is made super simple.

The iPod functions are amazing.

The voicemail functions are incredible and heve never been seen on any phone before.

I've got a button that I can push to check my stocks instantly.

I can do more with the "maps" functions than I can from Google.

And yes, I can even go straight to YouTube from a button on the phone.

Trust me, It's a whole lot more than "Just another cell phone with web access abilities"

You can learn a bit more about it at.... http://www.apple.com/iphone/usingiphone/guidedtour.html
