  • Instead of hiring Gobe developers, I wonder why they didn't just license Open Office and mod and skin it. OO is open-source so conceivably they could do with OO what they did with FreeBSD.
  • Well, it's just the naked panel that they'll sell to Apple or whoever for the casing and branding, so I don't think there's much to see. Just the fact that it's up and on the website means it's coming soon, but from which company I wonder...

  • Quote: Originally posted by NOFEER would apple care which is now available for the ipod take care of that??? In the most rudimentary way, but it's really no excuse for not putting a user-replaceable battery on the thing. Granted it's a more …

  • That's alright. The only other rumor re displays I've heard is January. Still, I wonder why the delay for the ADC adapters?

  • Regarding the new ADC adapter, will there be any functional differences to it? The G5's work with the current ADC adapter, and the new ADC will have to work with the same computer. Or will it be just a new industrial design (aluminum instead of pl…
  • pleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease... I can't wait much longer for a new display. Thanks for the info, hope it's true!

  • Quote: Originally posted by Smircle I have heard several reports of iPod HDs crashing, so I am a bit concerned (esp. looking at the price). Like all electronic devices, a few bad apples sneak through QA into the market. You can read people co…
  • Funny thing is, what I notice most now that I have an iPod is not the iPod's color, but the headphones' color. I'm a grad student, and if I had a nickel for every pair of white headphones I see while walking around campus, I'd make out pretty well.…
  • Quote: Originally posted by kupan787 There already is a standard. DVD-R is the dvd standard, as put forth by the dvd group. DVD+R isn't aproved by the DVD group, hence why they can't use the DVD logo on the product. Both seem to be as compatibile…
  • Edit: nevermind...
  • Personally, I think a brushed aluminum one to match the G5 and Powerbooks would be cool. But as for colors, there's always iSkin. edit: on second thought, a stainless steel iPod would look even cooler, imho, and be more scratch resistant...
