I'm still super-curious about how they're going offer feedback from a virtual UI that's as good as the tactile feedback from a scroll-wheel. Maybe it just won't be as good—it'll just be something of a trade-off. Great video, wireless capabilitie…

Hmmm. I was hoping for something a little better than "iPhone".

Er, squirt? There was a lot of weirdly tortured corporatespeak in that interview. I can't say I learned a whole lot, or even sure what exactly was said in some cases. Apple *does* have advantage of scale, btw -- no question. They're selling…

Ah, I see. That's a little less insane, at least.

^^^ Exactly. They're set to lose far more than the operating loss per Zune, of course. There's also the R&D... plus the tens (hundreds?) of millions for the advertising/marketing campaign. It's really quite stunning.

3 million seems pretty damn optimistic, even if they're able to pull out a sharp, pervasive (and incredibly expensive) ad campaign. A million or less sounds far more realistic (assuming they sort out the battery issue). I'm sure there's people o…

I found this fantastically odd as well. I can't tell if T-Mobile via Dotson is trying to woo Apple (say, for some upcoming iPod phone) *away* (or parallel to) Cingular by flattering them in talking about Leopard, or if he's alluding to some kind …

It's a Saturday with some historic significance, though.

Jobs said spring '07 at WWDC, which gives 'em some latitude. It's not impossible it'd be earlier, but given the current state of the Leopard beta, and hints Jobs dropped about OS X for Intel being a time-consuming effort on Apple's part, I'd take…

So, it seems like Vista, lo and behold, may actually make its (latest) ship date. It's looking like they finally got the train back on the rails. I'm curious how Apple will deal with the Vista juggernaut coming this January (or very early '07 at…

I'd be happy to lay out the case for an Apple iPod phone. Which, btw, I think is real as rain and coming pretty soon (my guess is early '07). From Apple's perspective: increasingly sleek and attractive mp3-playing phones (Sony-Ericsson Walkma…

$99? No way. $230? Entirely possible.

Sounds to me like pure wishing and pie-in-the-sky speculation on Ruiz's part. If wishes were horses, etc.

I think it's a good idea, and you can bet Apple is working on it for Front Row 2.0, which is to be included in Leopard.
