Common "wisdom" around here last week was that the new MBP would be out today. Well, maybe next week.

Why is the subject of this article at odds with the body text? Nowhere in the article is there any mention of any chip that will exceed 3 GHz. Why the hype? The real advantages of Montevina: 266 MHz faster bus speed More efficient chipset that'…

Usually, if a Mac gets a case redesign, it's introduced at a media event. The MBP has the same case design as the PowerBook that was introduced in January, 2003, so it's 5 years old. So, if the MBP gets updated on Tuesday, the 19th, it'll probably h…

Although you can special order a 2.6 gig MBP now, it costs $250 more. The standard is 2.4 so with Penryn, the standard moves to 2.6 for the same price. Maybe a bit more efficiency for less heat and longer battery life? I wonder if the smaller packag…

Options expiry and hedge fund repemptions both happen Friday. Options Max Pain for AAPL is at 135. That's the price at which options managers would have to pay out the least amount of money. AAPL happens to be doing very well today, exceeded only by…

I vote for iPhone/touch SDK (software developers kit) and maybe a new MacBook Pro redesigned along the lines of the new MBA. The SDK should be accompanied by some new apps.

Anyone remember Robson, the forgotten part of Santa Rosa? It was a feature that was supposed to put some flash memory on the logic board to speed boot times, app launches, etc. All you need is 1 or 2GB and that sure wouldn't cost much these days. …

Normal iPod seasonality would suggest at least a 38% cut in production for the March quarter. Since the touch is so popular, second in sales to the nano, an adjustment in the mix was called for anyway, plus, as stated, the ASP is higher at $181. The…

File this under Duh! One would expect post-holiday sales to decline somewhat. I'm only expecting about 1.6m iPhones to be sold this quarter which means a slow decline in the run rate. The rate should be even lower in the first 2 months of next quart…

Sheesh, more unwelcome FUD. Talks have been suspended, for now. They can be resumed at any time. Meanwhile, deals are being worked out with other countries and perhaps with China's other carrier. The iPhone will be sold in China--it's just a matter …

WiMax would be HUGE! It could be in all of Apple's products that now use AirPort. It Apple TV had it, it could connect to a WiMax-equipped AT&T cell tower directly without using your home network. You could download movie rentals at 6 or 7Mbps. …

Here's a 3D mockup I made that sort of shows what some of the rumors are pointing to: I imagine a glass multitouch pad in place of a trackpad and no mouse button. Very thin base and bezel, no hard drive, no optical drive, and a 64GB SSD. Show…

My predictions for MWSF: Leopard sales iPod sales Mac sales iPhone sales Added 16GB iPhone model, lower price for existing iPhone Apple TV and movie downloads New Penryn-based, new design MacBook Pro And, one more thing: an itty bitty widd…

A brand new MacBook that I ordered for my wife was just delivered an hour ago. I'm setting it up now. I don't want to hear about new MacBooks since they were just recently updated to Santa Rosa. Whatever slim 13.3" notebook is being seen now will be…

My guesses for Q1: 3m Macs 30m iPods ~2+m iPhones Revenue: $12.202b Profit: $1.77b EPS: $1.98

If Goldman is right and Apple is coming out with a 12" MBP, maybe it'd look something like my mockup:

Here's my idea for a really thin MBP in aluminum and glass. 13.3" LED backlit LCD Intel mobile Penryn Core 2 Duo 2.5 GHz, 6MB L2 cache, 800 MHz FSB 2GB RAM 64GB SSD (slim, module type, 3mm) AirPort 802.11n + Bluetooth Innovative collapsi…

Activations do not equal sales by a long shot. During the first 30 hours of sales in the US, there were some 140,000 activations but 270,000 actual sales. This being the holiday shopping season, it only makes sense that lots of iPhones are being bou…
