How did the Germans pull that off?
Maybe they are into writing clever fiction or there is a real mole at
Apple.
Check back next Tuesday to see if they were right.
---------------------------------------------------
Also I discovered today that there is a way for Win Mobile 6 users to
experience most of the Apple iPhone interface by sharing their high
speed wireless connection with an Apple iTouch. It only works with
certain WinMo 6 phones but I find it interesting none the less. It is
easier to hack an iTouch than an iPhone since there is no carrier
issue with the iTouch.
Of course you have to carry two devices but if you are stuck in a
CDMA plan for the nest two years this enables you to come to the Apple
interface innovation party also. The iTouch is about the thickness of
a couple of business cards and it easily drops into any pocket. The
point is that you can see the real Internet on a high quality LCD with
the iTouch if you tether it to a Win Mo phone while out and about.
Also video looks far better on the iTouch than any comparable small
screen device.
