Rumor starters: Shut The F@#k Up!

Damn, I like iPhoto (for now) and I like the new iMac (but I do NOT love it) but I really wanted a new PDA -- Palms suck! (When are we going to be able to hot sync properly without duplicate entries, etc. And when is Micro$oft coming out with a conduit for Entourage X!??)

That all being said, in a weird way, I am happy to be disappointed: while I really wanted an iPad/iWalk/iToilet PDA, I'm glad to see all those rumor junkies out there were proved so very f@#kin' wrong! ("My dog's friend's master's wife heard that her boss' son knew someone that heard that Steve Jobs might be coming out with some new thingy that looks like it could be something that looks like a computer or a toy or a PDA or a ....").

SHUT UP YOU RUMOR STARTERS! I only want to hear FACTS. You get my hopes all high and then dash them on the rocks below. My heart is broken (sniffle-sniffle) as alas I still cannot sync my Palm with Entourage!

Yeah! Thanks, I could use support right now; I'm bitter. I wanted the dream: a color iWalk with enough juice to power a PDA version of AppleWorks and sync with Entourage. And now I have to wait until . . . . [idiot rumor starters, insert your unsubstantiated bogus date here].

P.S.: SpyMac.com, you suck too! Thanks for supporting the ultimate fraud! I will no longer visit or support your site. Pathetic.


Happy Happy Happy Weee! This is fun.

Thank you GadgetLover!

It is great to hear more of you that think Apple needs a PDA. Like I have been saying it would be great to have an iPDAthingy from Apple like PCs having the PocketPCs. Why not!?! Why not have a device that is about the same size as the Newton, runs OS X Lite, and can run "Pocket" versions of our favorite programs. Why not have iTunes on it and make it an mp3 player. Audiophiles are the one that want an iPod unless you are such a diehard Mac fan and have no care of what you do with your money.

Imagine a device that could not only organize your life (like a sucky Palm) and more. Want to go over that proposal before the meeting? Pocket Word/Excel/PowerPoint can help. Have a flash animation you want to present or review. A Pocket Flash viewer or just store it on it's hard drive. Want to read a book? Pocket Acrobat. Apple can go as far as PCs and WAY beyond.

What do you think people:

iPDA
10G HD
OS X lite
Firewire connection
audio input and output
pen-based
and on...

Hey GadgetLover:

Did you see my rendition of the iWalk, er hmmm iWok? I went to bed and lying there staring at the ceiling, I thought to myself "iWalk, iWalk - sounds like something you would cook with". Hence "iWok".

Yeah, I thought it was funny. A nice touch would be a little LCD display with temperature -- after all, an Apple iWok would have a color LCD thermometer (a PC version would use coal instead of electricity and would use a leaky mercury glass thermometer that had been in someone's a$$).
