Welcome. Not to shoot down your idea, as I think it actually might be the easiest way to go until people get used to using a tablet (take it off its "dock" every now and then to touch up a photo or surf the net from bed or something). But as deman…

The thing about bringing out a tablet right now is that no mainstream consumer computer company has done one successfully and had it aimed at the average user. IF (and that's a big if) Apple could pull one off affordably - perhaps as an AirPort-ena…

in Confirmed: Stupid people use Confirmed when they shouldn't Comment by spiffyguyc December 2001

The above idea is the only way I would support an Apple cell - if it were wrapped around an Apple-branded PDA (I would assume that the PDA would come out about 1-2 years before the version with the phone). Apple makes computers, and they make t…

in Apple Cell Phone Comment by spiffyguyc December 2001

Apple's got a pretty long history of having promotions extend beyond new product introductions. Simply clears out old models. This doesn't mean anything. If G5's are announced, it means you'll be able to get an old G4 system for $200-$500 less.

Heh....iPod...now with color screen and visualizations....$649.

in This is what iPod really needs!!! (Mock-up pic inside*) Comment by spiffyguyc December 2001

Thinking about the footprint of this thing, the speakers, to me, are more likely to go under the screen than on the sides, unless the optical drive is a top-load toaster-style like the Cube. Thinking about it logically - every other option eliminat…

in TAM a indication of what could be? Comment by spiffyguyc December 2001

For kicks, any way you could tweak the photo or animation to match what the few reports on this thing have predicted - first, make it look like an iMac: pinstripes or white front covered by a translucent and reflective material. Back could be Ti-st…

Can't speak for anyone else here, but I don't think it's too much to hope for a major iMac revision. Apple could keep the G4 for a bit if it grows to 1.0-1.4 GHz or so - OS X uses AltiVec fairly well. So the G5 is really not concerning me...have a…

Guys, this is real easy. The iPod is a 5G FireWire drive with a nifty little MP3 player as a bonus, that's the way you need to think about it. It's pretty safe to say that in the coming months the price may go down, and the storage may go up, let'…

in Next non Mac device - iDock Comment by spiffyguyc December 2001

That product (above) looks awesome, but the iMac is and will continue to be all-in-one (unless this is supposed to be some in-between product and not an iMac). But I could see the screen legs straddling the base, attached at the top...so if the scr…
