Remind me not to read through these things quickly. I saw the title as "Intel Relays new Product at Apple Expo". Man, I was really excited for a bit....
As far as banning other music players goes, that's just plain silly.
It's almost as though Apple is daring the French and Scandinavians with this action. I can't think of a single reason why doing this will be beneficial. Apple hasn't done this before, and it hasn't exactly hurt their business.
Does Apple allow companies to advertise other computers at Apple Expo - I do agree it is a silly move as MP3 players for the Mac are generally a good thing. They don't want to squash a market for their own customers; even if it is competition to them.

When there were clones, we saw them all over the place.
As the iPod plays MP3's among other formats, and Apple's AAC/Fairplay can be legally converted to play on other players, there is no reason why Apple shouldn't allow them.
After all, if there is music on iTunes that is not available somewhere else, people might wish to buy it from Apple, and convert it to play on their players as well.
After all, Apple produces software that runs on other machines. I could see a PC there running some Apple software. They would be selling that machine, but Apple's products as well.
If MS did this, we would say that it was wrong. Why should it not be wrong here as well? At the very least, it looks bad. Apple is no longer a small, "beleagered" company, but a large, highly profitable one, that is growing substantially.
If it didn't hurt their business before, there is no reason why it should now.

Ok, so Newton, Pipin (remember that?) and Macintosh are all taken. What would we call this one? Golden Delicious, or Crab?
Golden Delicious are crisps (chips) in the UK

Waaaaaaaaitaminnit...
Does anyone else remember the Sooper Kryptik Posts we had here a while back, that included the clues "Rosetta", "Trinity" and "Dolphin"?
I thought the Inquirer article was written in Kormac-speak with a little Codename thrown in for good measure.
Hm....Apple Cider ?
They need to come out with their ultimate necklace-based computer, the Adam.
Sony would give it a catchy name like the WalkPod 75WR8X
Exactly. I have never understood why tech companies other than Apple insist on giving their products such ridiculous names.

You mean Golden Wonder

Newton is not really a type of apple.
BTW there is always "Granny Smith" I always thought that would make a great name for an Apple product.
There's also "Horse Apples"
There's also "Horse Apples"
