Photos: Star Wars iPhone running Vista, WiMax

I can't wait for the new iPhone to come out — mainly because I'm so dog-tired of listening to the never-ending daily screeds of rumour mongering nonsense speculating on what functionality the device will have. So I've decided to join in. I'm 100 per cent convinced the new iPhone will run Vista and have WiMax connectivity. In fact I'd bet my house on it.

[Jo doesn't have a house — ZDNet.com.au will not be held responsible for anyone taking her wager seriously. Ed.]

I'm so convinced that this will be the case, I've asked the crack design team over here to mock up what a Vista-running, WiMax-connected iPhone might look like. And here it is.

    Zdnet is sssssoooooooo ANTI Microsoft Anonymous -- 08/06/08

    pathetic really. Infact who still gets blue screens? Shows how out of touch Zdnets editors are.

    But I suppose they have Macs and bag Microsoft without using it. You guys are loosing respect pretty quick.

    you probably also think zdnet are anti-a-team, anti-cheese and anti-shark too - get a life you loser!

    with all the non-news rumor and speculation, this blog is a laugh and a nice change.

    keep up the great work Jo

    A barrel of laughs Lord Watchdog -- 08/06/08 (in reply to #320103580)

    Yes, it's so funny seeing a phone with a BSOD.

    Seriously, I've seen BSODs in lifts, at Central Railway Station, on my old computer when it ran Win 95, etc etc etc. But is it funny? No. It's droll.

    If this crap excites you then fair enough but it isn't everyone's cuppa tea.

    Iphone runs OSX do not even mention Windows Anonymous -- 01/07/08

    OSX rarely gets any form of bsod & whilst XP gets the odd one it does get apps that can't be shut down this is a fact that Windows users experience on a daily basis.

    On OSX you can go into activity monitor & exit any app, if it's a critical app it will warn you before you quit it otherwise it's a breeze, also if it does'nt go quietly you can force quit it this a far cry from XP where usually a bad app will bring down the WHOLE MACHINE.

    Funny My man Funny Phil -- 03/07/08

    Oh yes the blue screen of death, the screen that every Windows user would have seen some time or another...... Go the Iphone, go Apple go OSX down with everything Windows
