  • I think that adding to the existing line-up by introducing a flash-based player would be a smart move for Apple, but only if the margins are there. The current flash-based MP3 player market is pretty fragmented, and many of the companies shipping…
  • Quote: Originally posted by macinJosh By the way, the OQO videos get an "A" for style, but a "You Could Have Said All That In 20 Seconds" for length -- ugh! Style over utility, again. Jobs gets it right. Pity it doesn't run Mac OS X, and isn'…
  • Quote: Originally posted by CrowFreak A company named Eurocom released specs for their new laptop and it's video card is listed as the Geforce 6800 Go. Could this new yet to be released chip be included in a new Powerbook since the 6800 Ultra is…
  • Update on this: CNet is running a story about the launch party for the OQO being slated for October 14. Invest in TMTA now, thank me later. :P http://news.com.com/Start-up+OQO+to+...l?tag=nefd.top Btw, here's an interesting concept for you.…
  • Quote: Originally posted by dfiler All of the functionality you describe has been available in the form of a PDA for quite a few years now. It's still only truly useful for a handful of people and tasks. The vast majority of PDA users use these d…

  • Quote: Originally posted by Amorph Miniaturization doesn't come cheap. That's why the little subnotes frequently carry stratospheric prices. Getting a full computer into that tiny little case isn't easy. The question is, is the size worth the …
  • And this is why I'm currently invested in Transmeta stock, ought to be a nice little spike once this puppy gets publicly launched. :P I'm honestly a bit suprised at the pricepoint though. Basically this type of device should ideally be priced som…
  • I'm not a huge Microsoft fan, but for business use, I think that MS Office is pretty much a mandatory purchase. I'm a University student doing my B.Comm, and Excel in particular is used a great deal. I'm hoping to buy myself a laptop around Chris…
  • Quote: Originally posted by s_sarinana I would like this feature a lot on the 12" model. I have a hard time seeing the keys with only the display. I hope Apple includes it in the next models. I think there's a good chance of this. Apple tends…
  • Another comment on this issue. I haven't seen the new iMac G5 in person yet, so can't really say what I think of it in person design-wise, but I do feel that the GPU issue is fairly significant. Having only 256MB of RAM isn't a terribly big deal …
  • Quote: Originally posted by wizard69 I have a slightly different take on IBM in that as a monopoly they have never learned to compete. That is they never learned the importantce of technology for this group of customers (us). I would disgree…
  • We'll all just have to wait and see for the moment. As nice as a G5 would be inside a Powerbook, is it really entirely necessary right now? If Apple releases speed bumped Powerbooks in the next month or two, with 1.6 to 1.8GHz G4 processors as th…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Hobbes Hmm, I don't know, I think iPod + mini + HPod will sell like gangbusters, but a million a month seems a bit ambitious. I'll be happy to be proven wrong, though. Certainly here in NYC you can't walk down the …

  • Quote: Originally posted by murbot While this reviewer is obviously a bit of a dolt (finding it odd that the iMac doesn't accept more than 2GB of RAM, for instance), you can't really blame the iMovie/iTunes comments. If Apple would ship their mac…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Res I agree that it will be a while before we see an iBook G5, but the price/performance ratio is not quite as fetching as it was in April, so I think that it needs a update or price cut sometime soon. Yeah, I'm th…
  • Quote: Originally posted by mattyj Amorph raises a good point, I know many people in the Windows world that have LCDs, but never use them at the highest resolution apart from when playing games. Most people that I know tend not to use high deskto…
  • Quote: Originally posted by iDunno I was speaking to an employee in my local Apple store who told me to expect a huge release from Apple this coming tuesday, he then put his hand up to his mouth and whispered to me, "iBook G5"... he heard this fr…
