Remember the apple patents that I talked about you know the Mysterious apple patent and the iPod with touch screen
Well we know what it is for now, the rumored iPhone was announced at mac world. I don't own any apple hardware but I really like this. I might end getting one if I can be bothered (I been saying i'm gonna get a DS for a year now). well that's my little update.
If you want the latest news from the keynote that apple is giving today go to http://macrumorslive.com and you will be able to get updates as it happens and you don't have to refresh the page it will refresh itself and you won't notice because it is using some type of ajax.
Gonna go watch commandN now
I just found this on crunchgear.
It seems to be some sort of hand held device.
MacNN dug up an Apple patent, filed September 7, for a multi-functional device that appears to be a cross between a phone, a PDA, and a music player. Let’s call it a Treo, for sake of argument. This Apple Treo is described thusly:
"FIG. 2 is a simplified diagram of a multi-functional hand-held device 100. The multi-functional hand-held device 100 integrates at least two devices 102 into a single device. Each device 102 includes both hardware and software components 104 and 106, which are integrated into multi-functional hand-held device 100. It should be pointed out that the multi-functional hand-held device 100 is not limited to only two devices, and may in fact integrate any number of devices."
Clearly, this is some sort of phone. And clearlier it is very special! And clearliest this will probably create a wildfire of crazy Apple iPhone rumors and drive everyone batty.
Well whatever it is it's the second made by apple patent that has been found the second is here. Do you think they will use these patents? and if they do will they use thm in the same device?
Apple insider has reported that apple had filed a patent on for a touch screen on an iPod or hand held device. The patent was filed on September 30, 2005 but was published yesterday. The patent was titled as "proximity detector in a hand held device" this points towards the idea of having an iPod that can sense when an object such as a finger is approaching. There are many possibilities what this patent could mean but many suspect that this patent will be used in the creation of a new iPod.
