Internal Apple Stevenote: iPhone, iPods with OS X, and "off the charts" Macs in the pipeline | |

Apple held a somewhat rare, company-wide virtual meeting with Steve Jobs this morning (11am Pacific Time), wherein Steve Jobs discussed the gravity of the iPhone on Apple's business as well as how he perceives the parts played by the rest of the company. The following is a series of notes produced by combining details from several of Ars Technica's internal sources. | ||

The iPhone was driven by the fact that everyone hates their phones
iPhone aside, that's just not true. Everyone I know loves their BlackBerry, especially the Pearl. |

Just another day here at ActiveApple. All Apple, all the time.

#1, 10000000% TRUE!!!
I have made some big mistakes [in a lot of areas] - in business, recommending to legal and financial professionals that they could consider alternatives to their BB's, was a small, short one..... the words were no more spoken, and the idea not just rejected, but shot up, gutted, burned and thrown from the building. I discovered the business definition for measuring the speed of light - the time between suggesting to a BB user that they could use something else, and the time it takes them to say "NO" and hit you in the head. #2, No kidding... it is getting a lot goofy out here.... |

| #3: What is the bloody point of having ActiveMac and ActiveXBox if they're going to dump every Windows/MS-unrelated story in here? What is ActiveWin, the dumping ground for all the other nodes? Geez. |

To be honest, I like coming to just one place :)

| Well... very soon, you'll be able to pick, drag, drop, build and theme your own sections and size them about any way you like and even consolidate many into one and track all acty in them and at a glance, see what is new and if interest to you. You'll be able to hide, collapse, expand, and style each as you like [well, pretty much, we're not going to allow remote art, etc.., but the selection will be pretty broad and we will have an uploads area under moderation - so you can send in stuff, like personal photos if you like and use those as art objects, etc...]. We think you'll like it. Oh, and session profiles will persist as long as you like - users will have control over that - say if they are at a public PC and you don't want such items to stick, personal page load and the tokens will be bound server side - so no hauling back and forth, etc... also, it is very dash like, so if there is nothing new, well... you'll know/see that as well as reminders for stories that you want to comment on, but didn't have time for in an earlier session. We also have some other suprises we've cooked up - SideShow related to devices, as well as more conventional gadgets, we hope you like, for some that like to work as they read, a window to see/process Oulook mail and an import/export in/out to Word 2007 - which of course are all options one does not have to use - and to show how we see and leverage where we think software is headed [read hybrids], which reminds me, I need to hush up and get back at it - we're tying in the Exchange 2007 part of the support for the site today [huge milestone for us] as messaging, alerting and collaboration are to be big parts of this for all "Master Posters" [those that have contributed so much - and yes Latch, that does include all people - regardless of perspectives]. Woot! The cert is in and the edge/hub are talking! You guys are gonna Shite! (or kill me). |

| #6: I had never bothered to offer suggestions for improvements here since I've been happy enough with this place as it was. My only complaint was the nefarious logouts when I took too long to post a reply. I hope what you're planning bears fruit. Mystic Sentinel is long gone and there isn't much keeping me here with the glut of Apple stories rolling in like, er, oranges. |

#8, It is a pleasure to help - I owe [too many people to count], for the opportunity. I know my walls of text can be a bit much, but I type really fast and have lots of screens. It was a hard, and slow to make decision to let anyone know we were involved like this, but too many folks had performed lookups and what not and written me, etc.. So it became best to just let people know what we were doing. We did manage to keep that as I like, silent, for a long time. While I appreciate the thanks, I really do believe that it is I that owe this site and its members a great deal - I've learned a ton here and been caused to think on things a great deal.
#7, I just don't know what to think about Apple - like a lot of guys, I was a die-hard Apple guy from about 1980 to 1984. By that time it was clear that the more open architecture was not going to be Apple, but the PC.... where Apple seemed to become more closed as things moved along. Adding to the noise around the MeMyselfAnDIphone, I'll say only this - what bugs me so veyr much is the truth that is not being told: 1) any first semester engineering student can tell you that Apple chose 2.x G over EVDO, or 3G because it uses less power - the PE is about a 5th and Apple needed to have enough battery life - favoring that over speed and an extra battery. Which is related to 2) by slowing the DL speeds Apple succeeds at driving iPhone users to and through their iTunes store for most content, which is the HUB they know they have to evolve. If they used thge much more capable 3G, or EVDO, battery life would stink and they know it. All the press and while plenty of them talk about battery life [good or bad], they never go into why and they don't use that knowledge to see drivers for understanding the business strategy - and that is why Awin Amac, etc... are so important to me - a place where one may at least express the truth about things. That is why Latch is so welcome in my eyes and mystic so missed - without that perspective, no one thinks as much. |

| OK, what kind of bizarro, alternate reality did I step into where I completely agree with Latch? Up is down, black is white, MS is Linux, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I am so confused! |
| #11 By 135 (75.73.90.215) at 7/1/2007 10:22:30 PM |
| I still just want a phone that makes decent phone calls. Why can't I just get that? |

I haven't had a cell phone yet I liked.
Company pays for them, so I'm stuck with it. If they gave me an allotment instead, I'd jump on an iPhone I think. TL |
