Interesting stuff. It's particularly interesting to see Apple trying and playing with new ideas - even when they don't look 100% successful - and you can see how they took elements from this direction that were utilized (in a more conservative, m…

Well, duh.

So sad. Why on earth would a dinky little kiosk keep anyone from going into a shiny Apple Store, where free net access and attractive products await?

The most significant difference between the iPod/PS2 and here is that the iPhone comes with $70+ monthly plan for two years. Still, though, that $199 price point is a big, big deal. They will sell many iPhones in '08 - easily over 10M. And once…

3G, 20% thinner, *and* better battery life? Yeah, right.

This is exactly what I expected for the MB and MBP - aluminum design for the MB (white plastic is clearly being phased out at Apple, except for networking equipment and cables & cords), and both MB & MBP taking some design cues from the flat…

Whoa.

You misjudge the Zen of Steve, my friend. The past is nothing - there is only the present. I think subscriptions are a great option, actually. Apple has long resisted them, I think, partly due to consumer wariness and partly to maintain Apple'…

Jobs said sold, not "shipped." If Apple wasn't pleased with the number, they wouldn't try to fudge it (especially right before a conference call), they just said "they're really happy" or something not mention any number at all. So, I don't buy …

Oh, and re choosing an exclusive carrier in each country - I agree that it will be a somewhat limiting factor on the iPhone's availability and success, but you have to consider that (a) it's not clear whether they'd be able to roll out features like…

Seems clear to me that Apple is exploiting OS X Mobile while it's still new and the coolest mobile OS out there. We've already seen the cost of owning a OS X Mobile device drop from $500 (4GB iPhone) to $300 (8GB iPod Touch) in just two months. …

Good lord, iSuppli is obsessed with the idea of HDD-based iPod Touch. We don't even know if OS X Mobile is designed to *work* with HDDs. It may very well expect flash memory for its speed and power consumption (would not surprise me). Seems o…

Why wouldn't the Nano be the most popular? It hits the consumer sweet spot, and it's the cheapest iPod you can buy with a screen. If the Touch was being outsold by the Classic, OTOH, that'd say something. If Apple.com sales are any indicati…

^^ I don't know how it is in North GA, but you'll find visiting any flagship store (NYC, San Francisco, LA, London, Tokyo) is a *very* different story. The 5th Avenue store here in NYC is particularly insane. Not only mobbed at practically any hou…

Wha? No iPod? Either the portable media player has completely bottomed out, crashed, and died - or something's a little off with this survey. I'd bet on the latter.

Whoa, AI is getting all retrospective on us! A nicely written trip down GUI dock history - well-done. (Though I think DragThing might deserve a mention - for a time it was practically a necessary part of using the Mac OS.) I hear that in the…
