smartmoney.com — Apple Inc. shares fell as much as 5% Thursday as a weaker-than-expected forecast for the second quarter and concerns over Macintosh sales outweighed the company's first-quarter surge in earnings and iPod sales.

@ sunimoto:another idiot comment by someone who's obviously never used a current gen mac. Mac hardware suppot is = or > PC. You will only find rare generic cheapy hardware that may not work. And unless you're a moron, you wouldn't buy it anyhow.

The stock market is always fickle. It's now that all the apple geeks are high on apple, and all the haters are wating for any bad news. Stock market is the worst place to get day to day readings about a company and their success. Look over a quarter or even a month, then you'll get an idea of how that company is doing. Next week it'll be up 8% and everyone will be whackin their bags all over the digg story.

@ WiZZLaExchange Server uses sort of a variety of IMAP, call it a proprietary IMAP server, because its more like IMAP than anything else. Any IMAP client can connect to an exchange server, but, of course, we can expect Microsoft will limit the functionality of true IMAP clients from time to time (break then the 3rd party developers will try to fix). Chances are good to definate that the iPhone IMAP mail client will be able to connect to an exchange account right out of the box. The problem then becomes calendaring. Is Apple going to make iCal compatible with Exchange calendaring? That would be shrewd, but a lot of work, as every time they get it working, M$ will undoubtedly release a 'critical' Exchange update to break it.My point is... why would you use IMAP for yahoo just because Apple is demoing that... if you are in the business world, you'll likely have an exchange account, and why not use that on the iPhone IMAP client instead? And if so... why is this non-competitive with Blackberry? (I'm not saying it is or isn't, I just see your argument as flawed, and your championing all those people as premature)

Has anyone confirmed if the iPhone will have instant messaging capabilities? As a deaf person, I need this functionality in my device to communicate. (not just text or email) but better integrate with my Mac. (address book, iCal, etc) ... If there is an IM (iChat) coming, then I can throw out my Sidekick.

@sunimoto:"I highly doubt osx will work on PCs -- the OS simply won't be able to support the wide range of hardware that is available for pcs."Right. You know... Windows has had to cut the cord on a number of generations of hardware too in the interest of a stable platform. I'm sorry, but I'm looking for a good computing experience, not the "widest compatibility imaginable". Oh, look, I can still hook up my dot matrix printer! GUSH! I can't believe it... you try to make that sound like some holy grail? I only care that my OS works well and isn't prone to viruses by creating a huge surface area for attacks. My next PC is a Mac, probably an iMac with a 20" screen, memory up the wazoo, and running Parallels in coherence mode. With all do respect... f**k your "wide range of hardware". I'll take, "works great" any day of the week. The day Apple switches to selling OS X on all PCs, I'll know to stick a fork in them.
