Bluetooth accessory communications!

That means it’ll be possible to NXHost work cycles off the smartphone to MacOS X and deliver the goodies to the handheld. Cool… someday

@6Patrick: Here in Oz, to “turf” indeed means to discard or get rid of, said to be done with some disdain or alacrity. Several possibilities: To bury (in the turf) or go to ground. Probably unrelated to the once popular Turf brand of cigarettes.

To HobbesDoo and Richard, can you explain to me the etymology of “turf”? From the context I believe it means “discard”, but any more explanation (word origin, source, etc.) would be appreciated.

For comparison, in the next year, the install base for iPhone OS X (iPhone and iPod touch) will likely pass that of Mac OS X.

(Since the intro of the PowerMac G3 and Powerbook G3, there have been about 52m Macs sold. And though they can use some version of OS X, not all of them can use Leopard, nor are all still in use.)

@ HobbesDoo:

As one of the ones that thought that 3.0 would introduce multi-tasking and a bunch of other stuff that would not be backwards compatible with the current low power iPhones, I agree.

It looks now that we will have to wait for Apple to introduce “beefier” devices (perhaps this year) and for those devices to become the norm before any serious upgrade to the base OS happens. This makes sense for the reasons you outlined. It won’t leave people behind thinking they have to buy a new phone to get the new goodness of 3.0

I agree with Hobbes. I was a bit concerned when the 3.0 discussion started a while back with some other developers, that we were going to have to turf our contract iPhones and get on a new contract just to have the newest to use the newest. This business Model of Apples, when it comes to this sort of thing I really enjoy.

I am excited to say the least, just wish I had my paid developer status still, then I could be playing with it right now.

One of the things I like the most about this platform is the longevity of the hardware. It used to drive me crazy with Windows Mobile that at every new version of the software I would have to pretty much turf my existing hardware and buy a new one. Now you can still use the first generation iPhone as well as the latest one. That’s pretty cool.

I can see the 3rd party Bluetooth keyboards already.
