Monday the 6th put the date in your diary.

iCloud has been confirmed, not sure how that's going to work for you pirates but for the honest people I'm hearing that all of my imported CD's will now be available in higher quality - at not cost to myself - from anywhere! How good is that? Thanks Apple.

iOS 5 is almost certain, this might disappoint me as I'm hearing it only runs on iPhone 4 and above but for you lucky people who upgraded you're in for some treats.

OS Lion just has to be announced and available from the App store, an amalgamation of all the lessons learned from the best mobile operating system and the best desktop software, unbeatable.

iPhone 5, this one I'm hoping for, my 3GS still embarrasses the best of Android phones but I've had it for a over 18 months now and although it's still best in class I feel the need for a change. Who knows what features this will bring, a few surprises I'm sure, Apple lead not follow.

Can the mods leave this here for a while, Apple is a lifestyle company that affects over 50% of Scoobynet users, there are plenty of threads that could be moved first.

Thanks Apple, you have created something brand new...............................................




Oh wait that's right it already exists

CREWJ

Isn't it just upgrades of what they already have?

makes you wonder how you could ever survive without an apple product, yet I still seem to get on ok

When is the iPhone 5 out?

JackClark

James, iCloud is brand new following a huge investment in a new Data Centre, the rest are just upgrades accepted CrewJ but as it's Apple there will be innovation rather than duplication.

Jamo, you're are 100% likely to be using something duplicated from an Apple product.

Ian, fingers crossed.

JackClark

Fingers crossed the 6th. But I have a feeling they'll hold out till September to give the competition a while to catch up.

Jamescsti

Icloud is oonly new to Apple, there are already existing cloud systems in operation as I am sure you are fully aware Jack. The only difference is that all the Apple Fan boys will jump on this thinking it is innovative as they cannot see past the Apple brand to see what else is on offer

CREWJ

Isn't it basically webhosting and spotify with a shiny gimmick?

JackClark

Easy now haters, I think you'll find that iCloud is a first for Apple. Go research what iCloud offers and with who, find similar then come back here.

Really, Monday?

JackClark

It's possible, the iPhone 4 is getting on now, but as I said the competition hasn't really caught up yet so Apple have some slack, I'd only put it at a 30% chance of a phone launch and even then it may be a 4S.

An online backup for all the music downloads I (don't) buy, is supposedly 'changing everything'?

The word perspective is glaringly absent from some people's vocabularies.

Markus

It won't be an iPhone 5, it will be an iPhone 4S. In the same vein as a 3GS it will be a slightly speed bumped model. It will be mentioned at the WWDC Keynote (which kicks off on Monday). iOS5 will likely be iPhone 4 / iPad only. v4.3 dropped the 3G, and the 3GS is getting a little long in the tooth.

Not going to miss an opportunity to trot this one out so here goes,


still, seems quite apt

Let's hope Lion is better than that $hite Snow Leopard.

Tidgy

i'll give apple fair credit for sorting it, but hey havn't done anything anyone else wouldn't be able to do, except they have been able to use there music industry power to cut through the red tape and BS of all the music publishers.

JackClark

Apple have played fair with the music industry since they transformed it with iTunes and the iPod, Amazon has been slack on Piracy and - quite rightfully - the music industry should shy away.

Apple always release their new phones in July/August after announcing them around June.

JackClark

You think Snow Leopard is ****e, I've just spent a week trying to organise files using Windows 7, how freaking annoying is that 'feature' that makes windows full or half screen. New Dell laptop and freezing after a week, total pants.

Yeah, they will be catching up like Nokia If the iphone didn't have the app market it would of sunk along time ago.

JackClark

Is that why every new smartphone is pretty much a variant of the original iPhone. Give Apple some credit, they've changed your life for the better.

CREWJ

The full screen/half screen feature is excellent. It's definitely increased my productivity.

Now about the new dell laptop freezing, sounds like a personal problem.

JackClark

I like the idea, but in practice it annoyed me more, I try to move a window it goes full screen.... ahhhgh!! The Dell laptop was straight out of the box, the only thing that went in it was a USB key full of data that I moved to various places. May well have been some bloatware rubbish Dell installed that Apple computers don't suffer from. It certainly was cheap and I suppose you get what you pay for.

boxst

To disable that, go to Control Panel / Ease Of Access Center / Make the Mouse Easier to Use and then check "Prevent Windows from being ... "

zip106

I like my Apple stuff, just that Snow Leopard has ****ed my iMac (well it hasn't, but you know the issues with it ) - should never have 'upgraded' from Leopard!

richs2891

I very much doubt Apple have changed my life for the better at all or indeed at all !

Sure you not PS Lewis under a different name, you both spout the same drivel about what you think is interesting / wonderful.

Does the ignore button still work ?

You should try it, getting wound up about something this trivial is just not worth it. Think of your health and our NHS bill.

richs2891

Lol you said it, its is trivial like most of the apple changes, but then hey Apple are v good at spouting the marketing BS that all you apple fans seem to fall for.
