What's CES?

Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas that's also taking place right now. Dell and Microsoft are announcing things that no one cares about.

Yea, pretty much everyone in the high end smartphone market just shit themselves.

So glad I've just been waiting all this time, lemme tell ya.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 18:20 (seventeen years ago) link

Is typing going to be as good as blackberry, though.

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 18:20 (seventeen years ago) link

And the carriers. Bye bye extortionate charging for just about everything apart from data connection.

― stet (stet), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 18:20 (seventeen years ago) link

actually, thinking a bit more, most volume is still in the low end market, so things may not be as bad for others.

― you win again, gravity! (tissp), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 18:20 (seventeen years ago) link

okay well usually with a fucking WEB BROWSER like SAFARI you can get to other mail services

― TOMB07 (TOMBOT), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 18:21 (seventeen years ago) link

We have a 2 megapixel camera built right in

Think y'all missed this...

― ledge (ledge), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 18:21 (seventeen years ago) link

I wonder if they can just (basically) compile existing OSX apps for whatever cpu is runs with a new NIB from interface builder? Seems rad!

― roc u like a § (ex machina), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 18:21 (seventeen years ago) link

10:21 am full screen view or preview mail
10:20 am showing photo attachments, scrolling through pics, etc.
10:20 am can look at mail in splitscreen

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 18:21 (seventeen years ago) link

I suspect GMail won't be too far behind.

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 18:21 (seventeen years ago) link

Does it do video chat? iChat?

― roc u like a § (ex machina), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 18:21 (seventeen years ago) link

i am interested in what cpu is in this... if it's intel then they must be doing some mad shit re: battery

Yeh, but this Mail app looks like it's integrated with the rest of the phone/contacts/IM etc.

― stet (stet), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 18:22 (seventeen years ago) link

10:21 am crowd impressed

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 18:22 (seventeen years ago) link

Why only 2 megapixel? Phones are in the 3+ range these days.

I wonder how addressable the docking port is? I could easily see something putting together a GPS module for this (esp. with the rumored GPS services in Leopard)

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 18:22 (seventeen years ago) link

already works with gmail--ANY POP or IMAP mail

― you win again, gravity! (tissp), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 18:22 (seventeen years ago) link

Doesn't intel have decent low power cpus now? or transmeta (unlikely)?

― roc u like a § (ex machina), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 18:23 (seventeen years ago) link

XScale?

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 18:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Exact quote on e-mail stuff:

10:18am - "It connects to any POP3 or IMAP email -- Yahoo Mail, MS Exchange, Mac Mail... POP3: Gmail, AOL mail, and most ISPs... let's highlight one, Yahoo mail. Today we are announcing Yahoo will offer free push-IMAP email to iPhone customers. This isn't just IMAP, this is push-email, same as a BlackBerry."

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 18:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Gmail only does POP. Hello out-of-sync email.

Bluetooth. Also I would not be surprised if it had this built in since E911 requires GPS, not just cell id. The hardware is already in the device.

― roc u like a § (ex machina), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 18:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Maybe Yahoo will get off their fucking ass and make the new Yahoo mail client work with Safari.

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 18:24 (seventeen years ago) link

maybe pentium-m class stuff. not sure. doubtful about xscale.

― you win again, gravity! (tissp), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 18:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Is everyone still waiting for the huge flaw? Or has it come and I missed it?

― === temporary username === (Mark C), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 18:25 (seventeen years ago) link

No talk about battery life yet.

not that I predicted it all that well!

Shasta, that multitouch shit is off the hook, plus the device profile is amazing.
