Do us a favor and Digg a hole and bury yourself in it.
I hate you
Dig Dug was a great game by Namco from 1982.
I can't download the SDK, server overload.
Also wondering what the criteria for being a v2.0 firmware corporation is? e.g. How many people in organization, big revenues, lots of iPhone users, etc.
I can't even download the SDK. Apple's server died.
Omg, can we please see a post that has the date when engadget and apple are going to get married and have the most overhyped babies in the world.
I bet this firmware will get leaked by one of them.
Yep, leak in a little over a month or so.
torrentzzz ftw
I hate you.
I really hate the comment system:(
So much hate!
don't you see the pattern.... the more you b!tches whine.. the more they post apple stories.
so... STFU. :)
Okay guys, I am a Mac user, own an iPod touch, and have never griped about all your Apple coverage thus far, but this is a bit much. I'm excited for the SDK too, but seriously.
Fanboys, I know I don't have to read all the articles. Just voicing my opinion.
It really isn't...
I work for AT&T, and I constantly get calls from our business contacts who wish to make the iPhone their phone of choice. The announcement of the SDK and Enterprise support is HUGE. Sure, this may not apply to the average joe, but for me, and many others in corporate America, this is a game changer.
It's all about context. Based on this info alone, I'll have quite a few sales. And like you said, you can always scroll past the info you don't want to read. I do it all the time whenever I see "Nintendo Wii Sold _____ over the weekend!"
I guess you're right. I guess it's just not AS big a deal for me right now...at least not until they release Spore :p
Thank you for saying that. Im not a Mac user, but I believe tech news from any company is news and deserves its place. However, I hate going to this site on a big apple day. The ratio of real news to apple "news" is something like 1:10. Did we really need 5 different posts about the SDK? You couldnt put them all into one post? You did that with Android, I recall. Engadget, its time to get your act together.
I think this is #12 today...
Patience is a virtue. So many of you failed to see that when iPhone was released in June. Rather than just throwing in an ad hoc feature here and there and hoping the slapped on addition to the existing underlying OS will just cripple the performance just a tad so. Apple started from the ground up. Meticulously planned and avoiding shortcuts for the OS/Hardware/Software. It's easy to understand why the iPhone is easily 3-5 years ahead of its competition. It's just going to get better and better this summer.
Hmm... giving it a try but I doubt they'll pick us due to our small size. We really are an IT support company though, so even though we are small, I can think of several clients who would be set up on Exchange with their iPhone the second it's out, so I'd love to do some testing on it internally first.
Anyone up for setting up a faux IT company to get accepted? I call COO.
DAMMIT i wonna be COO! ok fine i'll be the tea lady. but can i please be the next COO if you decide to leave (or die)? oh and one last requirment is that i'm the only one that can bring you tea, deal?
If you dont find it awesome, jobso will take your phone back and wont even refund the money...user error!
( waits for fanboy attack)
why didnt Jobs say "how about them apples" after they said it wont be available till June? :( he couldve had a cool line like Schwarzeneger \o/
And back on topic, yah engadget i love this site, i am a mac fanboy (i even was one before i had a mac.. go figure xD) but this really is too much.. i mean a person cant even read that properly! going from post to post, you even forget what was in the first one
so please click the button that says "Apple Fanboyism" and try keeping it to 2 apple posts a day
i wonder how long till its leaked and jailbroken :)
Ok, nice one, with all the new features, but the remote-wipe thing...? Guess they'll remote 'brick' all jailbreaked users - am i right?
its via exchange, for corporations to use when a phone is lost or stolen so sensitive data doesnt leak out like company emails etc.
I've spent a good week using (or trying too) Beta 3/4 and have written about hit here:
