Support NeoGAF

[ckohler]

I noticed they've added 802.11x support thank goodness. That's a big deal in itself.

How does the Exchange support work? My work place has VPN in place so will I still be able to get my e-mail outside of work or will I still need to be VPN'ed on my work network?

Weird note on Giz -- "New iTunes icon?" (edit) Now has music notes in the middle.

VPN support is in, so you should be fine. Wouldn't be worthwhile otherwise. From the sounds of the demo, the Push functionality is very nice, quick, and well integrated.

Saw that too. Immediately wondered if it meant we could rent movies directly to the phone now. That would be sweet.

Only problem is my workplace uses their own VPN software to "dial-in" so to speak. Are VPN protocols basically the same and my software is just a front end? I guess it's something I'll have to ask IT.

Gizmodo's updates are incompressible. I'm following Engadget's comments which at least make sense and have substance.

Same here. And wow, you can remotely wipe the phone for security purposes now as well. That's awesome for the Enterprise market.

Very cool. So if my phone is lost or stolen I can remotely delete everything?

 

[Sean]

w00t. Now we get to the exciting part.

At least in the Enterprise Space. We'll have to wait to see if there is a way to do that for personal phones. Kind of doubt it though.

That's too bad. I wish there was a way to do that.

I had this application (3rd party) for my treo that if I text messaged a certain command to my phone it would make the phone unaccessible.

Might still happen, we'll just have to wait on more details.

SDK stuff...kinda boring. Let's see the Software Update portion that is coming next (that's the next stop on the invitation!)

SDK is the most exciting stuff.

 

[PotatoeMasher]

Megaton.

 

[Vyer]

exchange stuff is pretty big IMO.

Lol, I actually want that Touch FX thing.

 

[ckohler]

10:42AM - "Next we decided, what can we do in two weeks? So we wrote a game... Touch Fighter." Dang, not bad, it's 3D, OpenGL... tap anywhere to fire, steer with the accelerometer. Lots of loud "Whoa!"-ing from the audience and applause.

:O

 

[Kung Fu Jedi]

Holy Crap! Touch Fighter looks sweet. They need to release that!

Running at 27-30 FPS too in the optimization portion of the SDK.

 

[Vyer]

Awesome. The SDK tools seem pretty well done.

 

[Sean]

"EA’s showing an iPhone version of Spore!"


MEGATON?

 

[SuperPac]

Here they come. Games for iPhone. Showing an EA reel... neato. SPORE!

 

[rezuth]

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!

EA’s showing an iPhone version of Spore!

 

[golem]

omg iphone spore

 

[Dirtbag]

holy shit! spore!! best cellphone ever - reconfirmed

 

[Crisis]

SPORE FOR IPHONE ASPLODE

(Hey are these apps going to work for the iPod Touch?)

 

[DaCocoBrova]

I don't see why they wouldn't.

 

[Crisis]

I don't see why they wouldn't.

Me either but then again I also don't see why they charged $20 for the fucking January update.

 

[rezuth]

Because people who have an iPhone pay Apple every month.

 

[SuperPac]

Yes! A version of AIM for iPhone. Oh Hallelujah!

 

[Dirtbag]

I hope this is one of those conferences where everything is available for download when its over....

 

[DECK'ARD]

I hope this isn't the ultimate cocktease of a conference!

"Here's all these lovely games and apps, only took days to build, and you can have them in ... June!"

They better chuck more than firmware 1.2 up at the end of this, I have a feeling they won't though ... :-S

 

[Kung Fu Jedi]

I hope this is one of those conferences where everything is available for download when its over....

Including Spore! Just kidding!

Seriously though, this is some amazing stuff. We're going to get some really great apps if not now, soon.

 

[Vyer]

They're talking about just putting this stuff together. I doubt it would be available right away.

Though I'd be happy to be wrong!

 

[golem]

oh nice epocrates.. here come the pharm kids

 

[Xater]

I would guess most of this stuff should work for the iPod touch too right? I want an Adium app on my touch.

 

[SuperPac]

Ooh, SEGA demo next.

 

[Costanza]

The AIM app better go sideways.

 

[Dirtbag]

..and the hits just keep coming...

 

[DECK'ARD]

SUPER FUCKING MONKEY BALL!!!!!

:O

Sega redeemed!

 

[Sean]

Super Monkeyball

 

[yayaba]

Holy shit, Super Monkey Ball??

 

[Costanza]

ooooooooo

 

[Vyer]

Wow, they're going balls out with this event.

 

[Cornballer]

This stuff is lookin' great. Can't wait to pick up some of the new apps.

[SuperPac]

Sweet. App Store, available wirelessly. Frickin' awesome. Now when the hell is this next software update?

 

[Crisis]

App Store on every iPhone. Hm. No mention of the word "iPod Touch" in this event.

Argh that's what I am thinking too. PLS use the touch for the same stuff!
