    Upgrade pricing is in order for yearly updates, agreed.

    They should all be disgusted with themselves. The advent of "commentators" on news programs needs to end. There is a place for them on talk shows and such. Not the primetime news.

    How does that line of reasoning work out with... cable tv, newspapers, magazines you currently enjoy or how about even the basics like electricity and water...



    Wait... we gotta pay the electric company AGAIN didn't we just write them a check LAST month!?!



    _or_



    To reverse things just a bit... Didn't your employer pay you LAST week... and yet you expect them to pay you again THIS week!?!

    I stand by my prediction that the MacSlate and MacSlate Pro will be a removable device of something bigger.

    I've yet to see this brought up, but, could it be that a new feature of iPhone 4.0 will be the ability to share data between apps?



    With all the talk about iLife and iWork on the tablet, I'm surprised nobody has thought to bring this up. One of the great things about the iLife/iWork applications is you can share projects between them to make bigger projects.



    One of the limitations of the current iPhone OS is that all apps (3rd party at least) are sandboxed and can't share data.



    And this tablet is supposedly going to be based on iPhone 4.0.



    So, for iLife and/or iWork to be really useful on the tablet, it seems the ability will have to added for the apps to share data, at least within the suites.



    Well?

    I would pay but not more $9.99 and they must be 64-bit. However, this will change once Steve Jobs show up on the 27th

    Why shouldn't they get compensated for adding more to the programs?



    If you don't feel they are worth upgrading, you can always stick with what you have

    Tuesday, January 26, 2010:
    • New Core 2010 MacBooks

    Wednesday, January 27, 2010
    • Tablet

    • iWork X

    • iLife X

    • iPhone OS 4

    • Expect iWork and iLife to have iPhone OS 4 versions. Also expect a PhotoShop/Illustrator-lite like app.

    • Apple's stock drops.

    • Post rumor speculation depression kicks in.

    • Complaints about Tablet lacking a replaceable battery and pricing overwhelm the blogoshpere.

    • Clickwhores post "Top 10 Reasons the Tablet Will Fail", which are actually repostings of articles they already posted before the announcement, but will fix (some) of their numerous errors that were made before they even knew what the product was.

    • Although the Tablet won't ship until March, GeoHot announces that he's already jailbroken one "quite some time ago".

    What about a whole new suite of apps? iCreate, maybe? Perhaps a sketchbook program and a painting program, designed specifically for the tablet (but would

    I somehow doubt the tablet will perform the same functions as a MBP, so I don't think it'll serve to replace it.



    Tablet = March-ish

    iPhone OS 4 = June-ish



    They need to give us *something* this month. I say rev the specs on the MBs.



    I suspect you are right, but I think that either it will be a brief mention or be a quiet update.

    I'm having a hard time discerning if you're being sarcastic or genuine in your comment. But really? How is it "gouging" for Apple (or whoever) to charge you for a new version of a product/service? I guess you'll just have to suffice with "last year's product" (shudder) until iWork & iLife 2011 rolls around.
