I mean to say:

on ANY Palm OS PDA…

well, to answer the question: a global search feature is where you can search the entire computer or palm device for any string, or word.

this is universal with Mac products.

and also on amy Palm OS PDA.

and, without this basic feature, needed if you have large amounts of data on your computer or PDA, the iphone most certainly does NOT rock.

wtf is a global search feature?

By: Bill Banche

Bill Banche — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 16:18:35 +0000

It is now 1/16/2008, and yes, this was what I want too. But it does not exist. It’s now one year after the iphone, which is what this promise turned out to be, and there is still NO global search feature. anywhere in the iphone.

I’ve been buying and using Macs since 1984, bought Apple computers since the 1970’s.
But this, lack of a basic global search in iphone, is just beyond belief! from Apple?

Lack of a basic search feature is a deal killer for me. But it gets worse: THERE IS NO WAY TO CUT AND PASTE!!!

This from an Apple product????? BEYOND BELIEF! SHEESH!

This is IT!! This is the Apple device I’ve been waiting for! What would make it “to die for” would be if it had some expansion capabilities (SD slot) and the possibility of attaching a portable bluetooth keyboard. PLEASE release this for under $500.00!!

While the features are attractive, and the design probably the most attractive of all phones, the iPhone lacks in certain areas and will surely have trouble keeping up with the leading phone companies especially in the european market. At this price point the it should have a lot more storage space, should be 3G compatible with a more flexible user interface and 3rd party software support and should have better battery life.

I love iPhone but I would not buy it. I don’t want it with the phone. I want a Mac pda which can online(wi-fi), aim, email and read pdf file. anyone want something like that?

It would be pointless for apple to put out a pda seeing as they already have the iPhone. Plus, if they did market some sort of pda it would not have a stylus.

U know what guys we should BLAME APPLE cause they keep a secret for most of their products and at the end when i BUY the LifeDrive or some other PDA sys.. they will come out with their own APPLE HandHeld and i wont purchase it. I love Apple but they F****D me over when i both “15″ G4 and 3 months after they came out with the duo drive and all that fast C**P on their Notebooks. That is just not fair at least they should let us know if something is coming out in ADVANCE ???

Ahhhh I cant beleave it - someone made this lovely joke ONE YEAR AGO and still nothing happend yet!!! We all want it, we all need it, we all would pay for it - why does nobody realize it??? Is that what marketing strategy is about?

I am really afraid that I have to go to buy a pda phone with (sorry to mention it here!) Windooofs Mobile 5 - uaaaaaaaaaa! The most horrible thing is, that palm lanced its new pda phone (treo 700w) with exactly this software and I had the dream they would be the one who would do the “JOBB” (sniff).
So what the f*** is going on here: Soon you can work with Windooooofs on an apple pc, using a pda pocket with windooofs mobile 5 on it and the last true apple you can buy you will find in a fruit shop? This is all too much for me…

would be great to see an all-in-one device by apple at some point. bought an imate jam and have been using it for about half a year now, hoping to replace the usual three devices that a lot of us carry, a cell phone, a camera and an ipod, but i was so wrong.. the very idea of a compact device is pretty cool but in order to use all of its ‘cool’ features you need a good operating system to support them and this is what all pocket pcs lack in as they present all sorts of inefficiencies and mulfunctions on a regular basis mostly because of their poor software. Not to mention the frequent system crashes that can be such a waste of time when you have to re-install everything from scratch at least every couple of months so that the pocket pc works ok. after paying so much money for that piece of s**t, i just didn’t want to admit that i’ve been wasting my time with it and had been making my life much more complicated than it should be, even for the most simple tasks and spent so much time trying to fix something rather than doing what i got it for. so glad to think that last week i finally took the decision to get rid of it and sell it at a fraction of its original price but i’m still really happy knowing that i’ll put an end to this nightmare called a pocket pc. i have sworn never to get a windows based portable product in my hands ever again, unless it’s a present so that i can sell it on ebay or something.

After fooling around with M$ PocketPC, I would surely buy this device from Apple. Can’t wait…

damn it haha Josh your very right. The apple ipod is sucsessful.

sure it’s a lie Andrew.. da!! Rumors have been getting more frequent about the possibility of an apple pda release though. oh and yeah.. i’ve been wondering which planet have you been living in for the last two decades. no offence. but apple has proven way too many times how good they are at making portable devices that simply rock and are not just ‘junk’ and no one, not even the sworn windows freaks who hate the mac philosophy have any doubt on how far ahead apple products can get in terms of design and functionality. I think that as soon as Apple decides to produce that much anticipated pda, most mac users as well as many of the ipod/windows users with a certain budget will want to get their hands on a ‘quality’ apple portable device rather than compromise with a pocket pc that in most cases would come with either a problematic os, mediocre design, bad support, or a combination of all of the above, so in my opinion considering what’s available on the pda market right now, an Apple pda is already a guaranteed success story. I currently use a supposedly high-end, full featured latest Windows pda, loaded with all sorts of apps and functions but I still think it kinda sucks as I have to put up with so many functionality and design flaws. I guess Apple has spoiled me and made me more demanding but is it really so much to ask to have a device that works flawlesly and looks great? Apple has done this many times so there’s nothing that would suggest that Apple won’t be able to make a pda that will go way beyond the mediocracy that makes the current pda market. You are right to say that the apple newton was a fiasko but let’s not forget that it was one of the very few exceptions in apple history when a product didn’t quite make it in the market. Apple has come a long way since then and, oh yes, didn’t they even make that most succesful portable device ever, er, I think it’s called the IPOD?!!!

By: Andrew

Andrew — Sat, 04 Mar 2006 15:36:33 +0000

allright this is a lie. even if it did came out it would be a piece of junk.. look at the apple newton that came out a few years back. also the video ipod with the navigation tool to the right of the screen. this is some really good photoshop though..

I am currently dragging around a palm zire 71(plus SD cards and wireless keyboard), a razr v3, a 2gb thumb drive and a canon powershot s30. The pda and the phone both have cameras, but neither is high enough quality for my general needs. The phone and pda both have a contact list and calendar, but imput for the calendar on the phone is slow and tedious. I am running out of pocket space and having three belt clips looks a tad rediculous. If I could buy a Mac pda with a fast processor hat has lots of storage and is easy to sync with my linux desktop I would consider it. Throw in phone capabilities and a camera somewhere above the 2 megapixel range I would buy it in a heartbeat. Even if it cost $4-500 I would still put up the cash for it considering that my camera cost about $300 when I got it, the pda cost about $140(plus $120 for SD cards and $40 for the keyboard), the thumbdrive was about $100, and the phone was $149 with a three year term for a grand total of $849!!! $4-500 for an integrated device that does a decent job on all of those features would be a steal . An added bonus is that I get empty pockets again. No more big bulges or unsightly belt clips. I borrowed a friend’s Palm Lifedrive to give a try for a couple of days and it just doesn’t stack up. It had wow factor, but 4gb is not that much considering I already had 2gb with SD cards on my Zire. the Wifi was sub-standard(kept losing the connection) and there was no camera or phone capabilities so I still had the bulging pockets. If anyone could do a fully integrated device to meet all of my mobile computing and communication needs, I know that Apple could do it.

It would be super cool if you could use a voip client like skype or google talk in wireless hotspots for the ultimate in free mobile communication! Sweet. How come no one has done this yet? I don’t know, but hopefully the time is near!

Does anyone find ‘Mike’s’ comment a little wierd? It’s so off the beaten track that it sounds to me like a taster, almost like, ‘You guys need to stop thinking that it will be an adapted iPod’. Knowing Jobbs etc, is he going to reinvent the wheel here? I know the iPod is amazing but design wise it hasn’t moved, just made smaller and thinner with other minor changes. Please Steve, give us what we want, I am still pretending that my Nokia 9300 can do a job for me, but I am fooling myself. ‘Mike’, expand a little on your points, your name is Mike, right?

I’m finding it a little bit hard to believe the usb and firewire part, aded to the fact that i consider virtually impossible to cram up so much power in that little piece of thing, that doesn’t even have a way to get rid of the heat that such kind of processor creates

Thank you for your answer Jonathan! Just this morning I went to an informatique market in Beijing and I realized that. Anyway so excited for that new PDA product by Apple. What I really need is the option “dictionary”.

Sorry to spoil your enthusiasm Kiady but the iNote doesn’t exist yet. WIsh it did though. All I can say is that we should remain optimistic as there are indications that Apple will get back into the pda market sooner or later and when they do I’m sure that they won’t dissapoint us.
