The iPhone Conundrum: Why Cingular? – SeekingAlpha
“Why is everyone missing the fact that this phone/device will seamlessly switch between Edge and Wi-Fi saving big $$$ on data rates?”
That is the reason why I passed on the Palm Treo, they refuse to add wifi to it (the Palm OS version) and I refuse to pay $149 for that terrible “add-on”. Since I am in an environment that I always have access to wi-fi, why should I pay a mobile carrier for a data plan?
What do you think?

More rumblings from our sources at Apple that some new iteration of Apple displays will include HDMI support. This my jive with the reduction in price on the cinema display recently. It is brillant! Here is why.
People have been ranting over the net…HDMI is evil…HDMI is content protection. Sure, maybe…whatever, that isn’t the point.
Infinite Loop: Macwelt gets more iPhone details out of Apple
Most people are hoping that, since it will be impossible to install 3rd-party software on the iPhone without Apple’s explicit permission, they will be able to access the myriad of web applications available online. Many people were unsure whether or not Flash and/or Java would be enabled on the build of Safari supplied on the iPhone. Macwelt has determined from Apple’s comments that there will be “as many plugins as possible” enabled and that “Flash and Java will be enabled for sure.”

macosxhints.com – How to overtype text in Word
At the very bottom of the document’s screen, there are some bits of information (page, section, total number of pages, etc.). On the far right, there are four abbreviated words: REC TRK EXT OVR, each with a small circle to their left. If you click the OVR word, its circle will turn green and you will write over text until you again click the OVR box.
Great tip and a frequent complaint from people new to the behavior of OS X.

PC Pro: News: Microsoft emails reveal Tiger envy
‘Tonight I got on corpnet, hooked up Mail.app to my Exchange server and then downloaded all of my mail into the local file store,’ wrote Microsoft’s Lenn Pryor, former Director of Platform Evangelism. ‘I did system wide queries against docs, contacts, apps, photos, music, and … my Microsoft email on a Mac. It was f***ing amazing. It is like I just got a free pass to Longhorn land today.’
Of course, publicly, Vista is a 100% OS X *not* inspired product. It is only too bad that MS couldn’t/wouldn’t do the things they needed to do to make “Cairo” a reality. Their size, and their inability to shake off legacy requirements/obligations, may doom them.
Jim Allchin co-president of the company’s Platform Products and Services Group was just as impressed.
‘I don’t believe we will have search this fast,’ he wrote.
….and you won’t. If you are stuck updating your five year old OS (XP) to look and act, and hopefully function like a 2+ year old OS, you are always going to be behind the curve.
Macworld: News: Hackers can’t wait for iPhone
“If it’s really going to run OS X, [the iPhone] will bring certain security implications, such as potential misuses of wireless connectivity facilities, [and] deployment of malware in a larger scale,” the hacker known as LMH wrote in an e-mail. He declined to provide his real name.
In typical Apple fashion, the tech pundits are pronouncing the iPod dead for its lack of features that no one wants, or cares about. Here is one take, by the in>famous John C. Dvorak:
the iPhone which doesn’t look, I mean to me, I’m looking at this thing and I think it’s kind of trending against, you know, what’s really going, what people are really liking on, in these phones nowadays, which are those little keypads. I mean, the Blackjack from Samsung, the Blackberry, obviously, you know kind of pushes this thing, the Palm, all these… And I guess some of these stocks went down on the Apple announcement, thinking that Apple could do no wrong, but I think Apple can do wrong and I think this is it.
They were wrong before, especially him, about the iPod, about the iMac, and pretty much about Apple in general. So that is boring. The interesting part of this is the hacking aspect.
There are many, many more questions that will go unanswered for months to come, unless more information is gleaned from the FCC website. In the meantime, I guess we will have to wait it out, and of course speculate some more.
