A) Apple has been imbued with god-like powers to Rip their processor line into the future by two generations.
or
B) Apple is just hype-whoring counting on the ability to instill energy in their flock in order to sell whatever they release. What Apple is most likely to release is the most convaluted benchmark in history.
Note,: noting that the provice of "A" are belong to me, I'd say B is the likely candidate.

FUCK APPLE IF THEY THINK THIS IS WORTH THE HYPE!
iWalk my ass!
yeah Steve Jobs, watch me iWalk my ass from macs to a lovely dual athlon i've been wanting for the longest time now....
<drool>

1) Its almost certainly a fake. There are threads about this on AI, macslash, & Ars, and the consensus is that it is a (very well done) fake.
2) Apple have pushed the hype drive all the way to No.11 this time. With the amount of frenzied speculation, they're setting themselves up for a Maclot backlash unless they can deliver something (things?) really compelling.
That said, let's hold from bashing Apple until we actually know what is coming. Then let's string up Steve.
If this iWalk is true (I doubt it, but anyway), I'd consider it if:
- it has QuickTime playback
- it has wireless Internet connectivity (via AirPort or otherwise)
- it can run Palm apps natively
- it has a decent battery life
Not too demanding, am I? ;-)

Why?
I don't know if you've used PocketPC apps, but Palm apps are clearly NOT the forefront of technology and innovation.

Is that you rave?
No. Rave doesn't live in London (IIRC).
Also, being able to run Palm apps would be a good thing, IMHO, because there are lots of them.
How many 3rd-party apps do you think this thing will run if it is not Palm-compatible?
None. Right?
If it has very few apps, it will be bashed from the very start by most pundits. if it is to succeed (if it exists at all, that is), it needs good vibes from the start.

Uhh? Whenever any platform debuts, it has few apps. I would assume that if this thing is real, it's gotten some form of 3rd party app creation, under heavy NDA.

It's the King of the Maclots! :cheesy:
"Peasant: Who are the Maclots?
BenN: We are, we are all Maclots. And I am Your King!" - <blatant pythonesque reference> :biggrin:
Welcome BenN. Watch out for OscarWilde as he is a ravenous and Illustrious poopy-head.

There is, although it's technically called New London. It's southeast of Dallas, over 100 miles SE actually, in Rusk County.
