What people perhaps don't see is that with Apple's (still rather small) market share the introduction of a Mac netbook will have serious consequences. It will shift the whole notebook product line - and profits. Into directions Apple will not want…

The one thing the Kindle 2 really lacks IMHO is a touch screen. Using a rocker switch to jump from word to word seems so clumsy compared to just touching the word. Especially with many words on screen (i.e. small font size). And the keyboard …

I don't think the iMac will go away any time soon. But I can see it split in 2 - because of the underlying industry trends. Instead of the 20" iMac we will see a 'laptop' or mobile desktop eventually. A widescreen 20" display could work in a la…

What if the next revision had proper gyroscopes which allow to exactly pinpoint a position in 3D space. Imagine games where moving from level to level (up or down) you'd simply lift the iPhone up (or down) by an inch. Or imagine maps that 'sta…

I guess a surefire indicator would be if the Apple Store is down. But it's not. So I wouldn't get my hopes up. Just enjoy the game and/or the evening. And I'd bet the new iMacs will be introduced the first Tuesday in February. And the new …

It comes down to the fact that the computer market is shifting. And I think Apple's product line goes more and more out of sync. Apple needs to adjust as well. The major shifting trends? - From desktops to laptops. - A realisation by many tha…
