As Engadget reported more than the weekend,
Windows 7 Product Key, the iPhone is incompatible using the 64-bit flavors of Windows XP and Windows Vista.Apple;s iPhone specs web page doesn;t point out the incompatibility; it says the iPhone will function with Windows Vista Property Premium,
Office 2010 License, Small business, Enterprise,
Microsoft Office 2007 Ultimate, or Ultimate Edition; or Windows XP Home or Expert with Company Pack 2 or later on. Apple does acknowledge the iPhone;s 64-bit Windows incompatibility about the iPhone assistance web page in a foot note.When will the iPhone be compatible with 64-bit flavors of Windows? I;ve asked Apple when and when it options to provide a fix/update. Thus far,
Microsoft Office 2010, absolutely nothing back.The feedback more than the weekend on Slashdot about the iPhone-64-bit-Windows incompatibility are worth a study. There;s the “blame Microsoft” school. But there;s also an equally, if not significantly more,
Microsoft Office 2010 Home And Business, vocal “blame Apple” one.A couple of posters be aware that Windows Vista was released to manufacturing in November 2006, so Apple;s previous defense as to why iTunes initially wasn;t Vista-compatible — not enough time — doesn;t hold water. Some 64-bit Vista users claim iTunes now works just fine for them; others say it still isn;t working right. Other posters say that Apple;s hardly the only organization not providing 64-bit Windows assistance and that there is still a dearth of software and drivers that assistance 64-bit Vista. (A quick check of the latest Vista compatibility list maintained by ieXbeta shows a lot fewer 64-bit incompatibilities than a few months ago.)Anyone early iPhone adopters care about iPhone;s lack of 64-bit Windows support?
