Aloha OS X for the Apple iPhone: module architecture leakage or not?
We’re not one to pull the Apple fan’s leg here, so we’re just going to go out on a limb and say that we’re kind of skeptical about this leakage. While the document itself actually highlights very interesting features of a possible phone, the name Apple Computer, Inc. hasn’t been used for quite a while. Apple goes by Apple, Inc. now, as registered in NASDAQ (NASDAQ key: AAPL).
But in credibility of the document, there are a lot of interesting things that can be derived. First and foremost is the name Aloha OS X, which this document illustrates the architecture of. “Aloha” is a trademark by Apple in Hong Kong that has links to the iPhone that is under development. Let’s get the other details from what we could derive from this so-called “confidential document” from “Apple Computer, Inc.”:
- WebKit Module, Apple80211: surf, chat, e-mail features seems to be covered here
- Sync Services, Core Audio: music playing capabilities and music file syncing
- Core Video, Codecs: video playing capabilities, probable video recording capabilities
- GamesEmulator.app, OpenGL, GPU: if it’s OpenGL 1.2, then games played on this puppy phone are “hawt”
- Onyx: “OMG” doesn’t even begin to cover this part; next-gen mobile and VoIP services soon to come
The most interesting points are the GPU and the integration of Synaptics‘ next-generation mobile phone concept, called Onyx (not OnyX, although we could be mistaken and “Onyx” is a typo). These both highlight that the “device” is being ambitiously developed for the new age of telecommunications and mobile lifestyles.
But whether these features will actually make it to the iPhone by June 11 remains a mystery until the next official announcement. You could say that the document could be representing the Apple’s iPhone after all. Imagine if Sony gets their hands on this document…
