Apple fans will scream bloody murder...

Meh, I'm a big Apple fan and it doesn't bother me. I tri-boot OS X 10.5, Windows XP SP3 and Win7. If they can get Windows 95 running on that thing then great!

I swear the first bit of "music" in that video is from the opening sequence to "Short Circuit".
 
That is wicked. iPhones are crap anyway so it's even more funny. Much prefer a Blackberry.

Will take an iphone over the blackberry anyday. Blackberry's mail support to put it bluntly is totally shit - you can't set up a direct mail account ont them instead have to to the blackberry service through your teleco.

Disclaimer - I've had an iphone since August last year and have supported different model blackberrys for clients.

I've heard many complaints about Blackberry over the years, from poor displays to ridiculously underpowered CPU's, to the awkward trackball interface, and especially their godawful built in browser. I have never, ever heard anyone say that BlackBerry mail support is shit... that's RIM's bread and butter.

Owning a Curve (model 8320 thru T-Mobile US), I can say I don't have any special blackberry service, just the standard t-mobile data package, and I am getting mail from my exchange server at work and from my 2 personal internet mail accounts without any trouble.
 
Why would Apple fans care if someone put Windows 95 on an Iphone? :confused:
You mean you're not aware there's a war on? It's us verses them; you're either with us in our choice of operating system or you're a moron who clearly has no understanding of technology.

A) I've heard of the "war". It is fucking stupid.

B) What insecurities do Apple users have to really be worried about this? I mean, I would expect the normal response to be "Haha...that's funny." Then they move on with their lives.
 
The recent iPhone commercials crack me up, They are bragging about how the new iPhone 3s can ACTUALLY CUT AND PASTE STUFF. Something that windows 3.1 had! They also brag about the video capability.

I find it funny because my sister has had a Palm Trio for a few years that was doing all of those new features three years ago!
 
The iPhone had some cool interface innovations (multi-touch, orientation detection, etc.) but some of the features that are only just now coming to it are kind of sad.

I suppose it's a nice phone and all, very sexy, etc. but I'll stick with my Palm, thanks.

I could already run Windows 95 on my Centro, though I couldn't ever find a good reason to actually bother... :lol:
 
I'd take Windows over OS-X anyday. Hmm perhaps finally a good reason to buy an iPhone. Wicked video; thumbs up from me.
 
Whereas I don't care about the iPhone, but would take OSX over Windows any day....
 
At least some little bastard of a prankster didn't decide to put WinME on there. That really would have sent the Apple fans over a cliff...

Well, all Apple users are hipsters who buy Apple products because they care so much about their image, this is a well-known fact which cannot be argued against. People who care about their external image so much clearly have deep-rooted insecurities and they would be deeply offended by seeing a OS used by boring dorks running on their cool hardware.

Except, you know... the iPhone is a phone and not a desktop computer. Back when 3.1 was in use phones still had cords attached.

That is complete and utter nonsense, and you know it.

People who care about their external image so much clearly have deep-rooted insecurities [..]

And that is complete and utter nonsense, as well.

Caring about your external image as much as you can is good. Just as caring about your inner self as much as you can is good. Unless you only care for one, not the other; then it becomes unbalanced.

but in order to get the mail from the server at work or on from an ISP mail account you need to have either blackberry enterprise server (which the sysadmin loads and configures) or run the blackberry desktop redirector software.

My iPhone talks direct to the Exchange server through Microsoft ActiveSync, my google-mail account and ISP mail account via IMAP (though I could use POP3 if wanted) - all without the need for any additional software.

I guess RIM could of changed things in the past 6 months but the last Blackberry I setup was in the touch screen model back in Feb. There was no direct support for POP3 or IMAP and hte person wasn't using Exchange Server. So we had to put in a forward from his ISP account to his Blackberry mail account to get his regular e-mail on it.
