Steve Jobs uses iPad and iPhone to answer questions

Friday, March 26th, 2010

Steve Jobs, the CEO of Apple computers has been reported to have taken to his iPhone and iPad to respond to some customers email messages. There have been at least nine instances so far when the CEO of Apple has used his iPhone or iPad to reply to emails that he had received from a select few customers. The emails were customer concerns over the iPhone, the iPad or the Macbook range of laptops.

In the past two weeks, Steve Jobs, the CEO of Apple computers, which is one of the biggest computer manufacturers in the world, has said to have responded personally to several customers email messages. The CEO used his iPhone and iPad to reply to a number of concerns that a few customers had about Apple Products.

This move by the CEO, which has been seen as a replacement to reported controlled leaks from the Cupertino company certainly sheds some like over what Apple’s future moves are likely to be, without giving too much away to their competitors of course.

Every single one of the email headers that have been disclosed suggest that the email replies are certainly from Steve Jobs himself, below is a roundup of the emails that have been sent.

Steve Jobs is said to have received an email which asked whether or not we were likely to see a universal mailbox on the iPhone in the near future. This is probably one of the most requested mail application features since the iPhones launch in 2007 and it will also be very popular on the iPad. Steve jobs is said to have replied “yes” to this email, confirming that this feature will be available in the near future.

He is also said to have received an email asking whether the iPad and iPhone will be able to tether together (sharing the iPhone or iPads internet connection). It is reported that he replied “No” to this email thus conforming that this feature will not be available in new versions of the iPhone or iPad. This will come as a disappointment to a lot of Apple enthusiasts.

Another email that the CEO is said to have received is from a customer asking whether or not we will be able to transfer Google Docs to iWork.com or even iDisk. Steve jobs is said to have replied “Yes” to this email confirming this feature on the iPad. It will be great if this is true as it will be very handy for business people and anyone wishing to use this feature.

Another question asked by a customer was whether the iPad will be compatible with Google’s Picasa format. Steve Jobs is said to have replied to this using his iPhone giving the response “No, but iPhoto on the Mac will have much better Faces and Places features”. This is good news for Apple enthusiasts although it would have been nice to see Picasa support.

Overall this does clear up a few rumors as to what Apple will be offering over the next year and it will be interesting to see if any of these rumors turn out to be true.

Ipad Or Ipod Touch, Need Help Choosing.?

Saturday, March 20th, 2010

I was thinking of getting an Ipod touch mainly for the apps and the ease of access to the internet around the house without having to boot up the laptop. My decision towards getting one could be changed to getting an Ipad.
For the casual browsing it seems great apart from the no Flash or Java support and the apps showed in the presentation seem good and I like the way you can use all the old ones 2 but are the Iworks apps compatible with Microsoft office? (I mean the formats for when i sync it too my laptop for printing or more editing).

If they are and if apple bring in Flash support I will definitly get one, so does anyone no is Iworks compatible With Microsft office on a pc and will they bring in Flash support?
