Briefly: Intel Apple gadgets, MacBook Pro, Mac OS X 10.4.6
New Intel Apple gadgets?
A new News.com blog posting alludes to excitement among Intel executives about the way Apple is "thinking different" about the chip maker's technology and the possibility for future Apple gadgets using Intel technology.
"That's really what's interesting about Apple, is they look at our technology in a very Apple way," said Deborah Conrad, vice president and director of Team Apple at Intel.
Conrad, who is a member of Intel's "Apple Group" formed last November, said its unlikely that an Intel chip will turn up inside an iPod any time soon. But when it comes to future gadgets other than the iPod, "that's where we get very, very excited," she said.
Reliable sources have previously told AppleInsider that Intel is playing integral role in the development of Apple's first Intel-based Power Mac.
MacBook Pro now at 1-3 days
Wait times for Apple's MacBook Pro professional notebooks through the company's online store took another step in the right direction on Friday.
Both the 1.83Ghz and 2.0GHz models now reflect wait times of 1-3 days, down from 3-5 days on Wednesday.
Gradually improving MacBook Pro wait times are the latest evidence to suggest Apple will reach an overall supply and demand balance on the computers sometime in the first half of April.
New Mac OS X 10.4.6 seeds
Development of the Apple's Mac OS X 10.4.6 Update is now fast approaching a public release. According to tipsters and several reports already published on Web sites, the company this week seed Mac OS X 10.4.6 build 8I1116 (Intel) and Mac OS X 10.4.6 build 8I124 (PowerPC).
These latest seeds reportedly list few if any known issues, depending on distribution and release notes accompanying the various distributions.

It's a good thing you did that all in caps. I might have missed it.
ps: In no time Steve will get Intel to start putting "Inside Apple" stickers on every one of their chips.
I wonder if 10.4.6 incorporates a fix for the 2nd processor whine when it's in sleep cycle?
Anyone with a MBP and a developer seed care to test? (Come on, you know you'll have to reinstall when you reload XP anyway!)

It's good that the MacBook Pros are more readily available.

This is really very simple. I'm surprised you don't get it!
Apple could afford to buy Intel with all the cash they will have in hand from MS's bank accounts, after they buy them!

And this is thinking different than Windows tablets? No, I think the Intel guys are excited because Apple is having good ideas.

They always make up the very best rumors.
Think about it, how much money did Intel put into VIIV to get it to this point? How many VIIV computers are out there, and how many other products that are neccessary for the platforms success (namey TVs and Sterios) are out there?
