Mac Cell Phone In the Works?

I saw on a cable show awhile ago on G4TV that Mac was in the works of developing a MAC/iPod cell phone. Then the other day on CNBC there was a report that Mac is in development and looks to release the "MacPhone" in 2007. The reporter said there was no word of iTunes comapatibility or what service will offer these phone. The reporter also said that there was no word if these phones will be available for any provider or if Apple will offer a phone service. Unfortunately, the reporter said there was no price announced. However, they also released a photo of what appeared to be the actual phone. I have not been able to find any other reports online or any photos of this new Mac product. Does anyone know where I can find the photo or specification information?
Sounds great nice move Apple!

"Mean spirited"? In what way?
I told you that Apple have not announced any such phone - which is true. Everything you have heard is speculation and rumour - not fact (yet).
I also gave you a helpful tip on how to find dozens of pages on other sites with speculative information on the subject of your post, that you may like to read.
Finally, we both notified you that the subject of your post is, in fact, against the terms of the 'Apple Discussions Use Agreement". Verify it here where you can scroll down to 2. Submissions and see where it says:
"...don't add Submissions about nontechnical topics, including:" ... "Speculations/rumors about unannounced products."
Sorry if that's not what you wanted.

    No this is not possible.
    But you could use the iPhone Simulator of Xcode if you have access to an Mac. Like the name explains, it simulates an iPhone on an Mac, but you cannot use all standard apps

  • HT1688 Traveling in Europe and iphone 5 has NO SERVICE.  I have had other iPhones and other cell phones in the past and never had this problem

    I am traveling in Europe and for the first time in over 10 years I am not able to use my cell phone.  This is my third iPhone and I have never had any trouble in the past in connecting as soon as off the plane!!!!  I have tried everything to fix it.  Chatted with AT&T and couldn't help me either.  Resetted settings, network settings, turned off and rebooted at least ten times.  Removed Sim card and still NOTHING.  NO SERVICE and SEARCHING is all I can get.

    Tracy, first you should restart the iPhone by holding down the on/off and the home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo.  This process could solve some of your problems.  Also make sure you have the latest update, go into  our settings>general>software update.  On the wifi issue try restarting your router, if you are still having problems try resetting your network settings, go into your settings>general>reset then tap reset network settings. 
    The battery issues seems normal, the battery will not last 24 hours.

    unable make phone call with brand new iPhone 6

    Try a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release then wait for the phone to boot back up.
    then try again.

  • .mac and phone sync not working!! Endless sync that endsin error

    Sync with .mas takes an age but ends in error, still the isync icon in the menu bar continues to turn.
    Likewise the isync function to sync with my phone which previously synced seemlessly and without issue is doing the same. It's not establishing a connection but the sync 'wheel' continues to turn.
    Any ideas?
    I've repaired permissiones, restarted and used disk warrior to rebuild the disk. All to no avail
    I'm using 10.4.7,. which I installed when it first came out and had no problem initially.

    I have had the same problem for the past 24 hrs but it is now fixed. I don't know if this will work for you but just in case here goes.
    I had just done an erase and install of Tiger and I managed to get 1 sync happen after, but then it stopped recognising my computer to sync. In the Advanced pane of DotMac in system preferences my computer was there - i deregistered and re-registered - but nothing seemed to happen when I clicked the Sync wheel other than the wheel turning. In the Console (via Application/Utilities) I noticed that the DotMacTranslator.log which usually showed any syncing activity showed absolutely nothing, as if it had not noticed that syncing was happening. In the DotMacSync.log I kept getting the recurrent message below everytime I hit the Sync button.
    2006-07-16 12:44:50 +0800|Info|Starting .Mac Sync Session for 'XX'
    2006-07-16 12:44:55 +0800|Info|Nothing to sync for this session - cancelling the sync
    2006-07-16 12:44:55 +0800|Info|Ended .Mac Sync Session
    So somehow something was telling my computer there was nothing to sync and to stop syncing but the wheel had not got the message that syncing had stopped.
    Eventually I decided to simply copy over my iCal Calendar and Address book from the other computer (ie. by choosing File and Back up Database in each of iCal and Address book, moving the database files into the computer I wanted to copy over to and opening the files, saying "yes" to reverting to the data in the file). Then I went to Entourage and enabled synchronisation via Preferences in there and suddenly everything everything started working again. No problem since. I'm not sure if it was the act of copying over a new database from the other computer or the Entourage syncing, but I would suspect the former since I can't explain why the latter would work.
    My suggestion if you haven't already done so is to open the Console when you are syncing and observe what happens in the ~/Library/Logs area during the process as I've found that doing this, experimenting with various configurations while observing that effect in the Console and lots of patients usually sorts out the sync problems that I encounter. Good luck.

  • Phone won't make outbound calls now. In a hotel and unable to call support cause my cell PHONE DOESN'T WORK anymore. this was after 17 minutes on hold and asking for my 4 to 48 hour voicemail notification delay to be fixed. rep said it was and to turn pho

    Phone won't make outbound calls. can't call verizon support. this after being on hold for 17 minutes in an attempt to fix voicemail notification. this is a nightmare and Verizon is unreachable. Any way to get Verizon wireless to fix my service when they can't be called (because their phone service doesn't work)?

    Well 1, I guess it's not that important to you, 2, customer support generally closes at 11pm in the time zone you are in, 3, toll free and local calls are free in hotels, 4 there is limited support after hours.

  • Are you going to make or create a Firefox mobile browser for a Blackberry cell phone in the future?

    It's not a problem just a question. I'd love Firefox and would enjoy having it on my phone. It might be a waste of phone space, since my browser is fine, but having a Firefox browser on my phone would be nice. I read it currently wasn't available, but thought it might be in the future.

    Sorry, we don't have any plans to develop Firefox for Blackberry in the near future. See https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms for details.

    A minor point, but it may avoid a little confusion if, instead of saying "black" in reference to the iPhone 5s, say "space gray":

  • Cheap Analogue video converter that lets the Mac do most of the work?

    I've read somewhere that there are hardware converters that just do the analogue to digital part, leaving the computer to do the formatting etc. Apparently they are much cheaper than the Canopus does-it-all boxes. Can anyone give me any pointers for brand names and such?
    Thanks!

    I decided to go with a Panasonic Freeview HDD / DVD Recorder, it has excellent noise reduction for recording from a VHS (Phono AV) source. The recording can be edited on the HDD or burned straight to DVD (I use Panasonic branded DVD-RWs). I can then capture this from DVD on the Mac using HandBrake at 2500 average bps. Job done!

  • X230 bluetooth does not work - unable to use cell phone as personal hotspot

    I am trying to use the bluetooth in my X230 to pair my laptop with my cell phone. I want to be able to use my cell phone as a personal hotspot, in case I am in an area with no secure wi-fi. I would have thought that this would be standard feature in a laptop that is touted as a business device, but apparently this is not the case.
    I installed both the bluetooth driver and the latest system update, as suggested by Sarbin...
    http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/research/hints-or-tips/detail.page?&DocID=HT073834
    and
    http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS012808
    ... but it is still not working for me. I am now able to connect my cell phone to my X230, but instead of enabling me to access the internet via bluetooth, a dialogue box appears enabling me to play songs that are on my cell phone using the laptop speakers.
    I am disappointed that the bluetooth driver did not come pre-installed on the x230, and I am disappointed that I am not able to use my cell phone as a personal hotspot for my x230.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    There is a key step missing from the prior post, but is shown on the link.
    After the steps described in the prior post (e.g., disabling all services on the Bluetooth device except NAP), go to <Control Panel<, <Devices and Printers>, right click on the Bluetooth device (e.g., iPhone) that you want to connect to for your internet hotspot access point, and then click on <Connect Using> and then <Access Point>.
    Using this method, the Lenovo's Access Connections program does NOT control this internet connection, thus the icon in the system tray will show NO connection in the Lenovo wireless access icon (even though the computer is connected via the Bluetooth connection to the iPhone).
    Disconnecting requires going back into Control Panel and disconnecting from the Access Point.
    Kinda clunky in my opinion, but I could never get a connection to the internet via a Bluetooth/iPhone Hotspot combination using the Lenovo Access Connections software despite claims in that software's help section saying that such a connection was possible.  (The Lenovo Access Connections Help section even gives instructions to use tabs that don't exist in the software.)

  • How can I change the active Midlet using the '*' cell phone button

    Hello
    I've got a problem trying to do that in J2ME MIDP:
    'I have different class extending Midlet that I want to display one after the other. The change may be done when I click the '*' button of my cell phone'
    For the moment I've created a main class that extend Canvas and which contain a vector of objects extending Midlet.
    I'm able to change the objet which I want to display, but not to display it....
    Is it possible to do that?
    Do you have any idea of how to deal with that?
    Thanks a lot...

    Hello
    Thx for your answer .. but I shouldn't have explain correctly my problem because I don't think this answer it .. sorry
    I need an interaction between a Midlet class and a Canvas class.
    In fact I have several forms, and I need to allow my Canvas class to change the form displayed when a button is pressed.
    But If I have a form in a Midlet , I can display it but can't catch the click on a button.
    And if my Canvas is displayed I don't know how to display the form I want to.
    So is it possible to do that... and if so, how?
    Thank you very much...

  • Realtime video stream on the cell Phone

    Hi,
    I have to develop a prototype to show a cell phone handling a CCTV feed
    1. I am trying to figure out how easy or difficult it isn The cell phone should be able to display real-time feed coming from a CCTV and provide the cell phone user the ability to record, stop, and rewind it.
    2. Any idea how long the prototype should take.Aany crude demo will do.
    3. What components of J2ME should I use (CDC,CLDC ...?..sorry I am new to this).
    4. Is there any sample code that can help me in doing it quickly ?
    Thanks in advance
    QM

    What is the video converted from? And what format is it converted to?
    Premiere Elements is technically not a conversion program. It's a video editor. But if you can tell us what type of camcorder your original video came from and what specs you output, that would be helpful.
    It also might help to know which version of Premiere Elements you're using.

  • Verizon installed a month ago and my land line phone won't work

    Had Verizon installed in December. My old internet/phone/cable provider raised their rates so I shopped around and went with Verizon. Soon after, my cordless phone would stop working. No dial tone and if someone tried to phone me, they would get a busy signal.
    I've called Verizon several times for a fix. First replaced the line from the phone to the jack, then had a technician come out who said everything was fine. Had another tech come out and replace the battery pack in the garage. The phone will work, then go static and nothing.
    I bought a new cordless phone, bought a new corded phone, bought a dsl filter..Nothing is fixing the problem. I went outside, plugged the phone into the box, made sure the wires were snug and voila the phone works...OUTSIDE. So now Im told its an inside wiring problem and I can a) add the inside wiring maintenance plan but can't use it for 30 days. b) call a technician to diagnose and fix the problem at $91 for the first 30 minutes and $46 for every 30 minutes thereafter.
    Never had phone problems with Brighthouse. Not sure why now suddenly it's the house wiring when everything worked before Verizon. I don't have a cell phone so the land line phone is my only way of communicating. Does anyone have any tips or solutions? I feel like Im getting royally screwed here. This sucks, wish I never shopped around, wish I never switched providers.

    Verizon installed FIOS last Thursday (Jan 30).  Friday and thru the weekend I had no dial tone.  Since Verizon makes it impossible to talk with a human being, I had to email customer service.  Even telling them I'm disabled with no cell phone, never heard back until today (Monday),  Eventually went through "wifi" customer service, had on-line chat & upon informing him of my disability he said he'd immediately transfer me to get the issue fixed on Friday.  Nothing.  I called the 888 number this morning to ask for assistance.  They sent a technician out.  First tech installed to incorrect outlet (when I turn off laundry light, it turns off the back-up box, so it continually beeps).  Current tech told me to go to Radio Shack and purchase "a thing that will allow me to split the power; Radio Shack will know what I'm talking about."  Also, only one of my phones (circa 1980 model) works.   Even the cordless phones I had to purchase for Vonage no longer work.  Current tech said, "COSTCO has a great set of Vtec cordless phones that will work fine."
    When I made the request to return to Verizon I was told I could return to copper.  I specifically requested that & after research the Customer Service person told me it was still available in my neighborhood.  Yet, when 1st tech showed up, told me that was not true & I "had to go to FIOS."
    So, Verizon installed a FIOS network I did not want, REQUIRING me to purchase phones I don't need.  In fact, all of my corded phones worked just fine previous to FIOS!
    As much as I detested Vonage I'm already to leave Verizon.  Next step, Virginia Utilities Commission.

  • Can any one tell me how to get the Cell ID from the nokia�s mobile stations

    Hi All:
    Im trying to get the gsm cell information from nokia�s cell phones, but the properties "phone.cid", "phone.lai", "phone.mcc" and the "phone.mnc" not works, every time the results are null.
    Could any one help me?
    Please contact me at [email protected]

    A bit of googling suggests that...
    System.getProperty("CellID");...should work. Does it?
    And no, I'm not going to email your bloody personal address - that's not how forums work.
