  • I know someone in Apple Retail. Look for a big Holiday Season "event" on the day after Thanksgiving.
  • [quote]Originally posted by The Swan: .....clonenode, you know, the iPod is no real innovation either then. Its just a hard drive with an MP3 decoder, playlists, and a solid state wheel. Its not always if you make something new, its MUCH more of…
  • There is no true innovation in these new Tablet PCs. They are just flat-panel displays with some extra circuits, a hard drive and battery, that allow pen input. There is nothing ergonomic about holding a thin, hard rectangle in your hand. I chall…
  • What do you mean "the first batch" and "the second batch." Are you implying there will be two different introductions, at different dates? One iBook cannot be "700/800." It's either 700 OR 800. When are these 900s coming out?
  • Last year, Apple must have had the new Flat Panel iMacs ready near Christmas time. Instead, they waited another couple of months, and introduced them in January at MacWorld SF. Was there a blunder? Was the new FP iMac NOT ready? How could two mo…
  • i've heard there will be something new beofre the start of the holiday season. for Apple that means some time before Nov. 15th.
  • Very Good. A home user. Precisely who Apple hopes will be looking at their computers. Not all of us techno geeks, anicipating their next move, predicting what will happen and EXPECTING that it will. IBM is making a very powerful new CPU (central …
  • I agree with you. Take the whole digital camera idea. Current offerings from Canon and Sony have a ton of buttons spread all over the place. They're not easy for peolpe like my parents to use. They're confusing and complex. Apple has the chance t…

  • Nice idea, but about a MILLION other people had the same one the minute after the iPod was first announced.
  • If they want it now, buy it now. Apple just dropped the price on the 15", SuperDrive model by $100, making it $1699. That's an incredible price for an 800MgHz G4 processor and the ability to burn DVDs. Go for it!
  • If you are ready to buy, then buy! The Xserve JUST started shipping. It was announced only about 3 months ago. It's BRAND NEW! Go for it! Everything from Apple will ALWAYS be updated. GM, Honda and BMW keep updating their cars and Intel has the n…
  • This "new PowerBook" info is funny. You have campus reps or other "vendors" telling people NOT to buy something for another two weeks. Imagine if the Apple Stores didn't make any sales for 2 weeks!
  • Apple will not build cheap consumer Macs. It goes against everything they stand for and believe in. Quality is the key word here. The minute you cut corners on the design and construction, you lose something. And to reduce the price of Apple's quali…
  • I think we need to get off the "G4"-"G5" trip. I guess the original G3 was the third generation of Motorola's chip and the G4 is the 4th generation. These are truths that Apple latched onto with their marketing, calling each Mac a PowerMac G3 and a …
  • I love that Bill Gates uses one of these already as his daily PC. What is he a focus group? I can see the Tablet PC as useful in the business world, for "taking notes in meetings", but in my home I feel this thing would just be a novelty. Of cour…
  • One thing doesn't make sense in this photo. The iPod's transparent top layer is about an eighth of an inch thick. The LCD is down under this layer, untouchable. In this "PowerPod" there is nothing that indicates there is access to the LCD for writin…
  • Don't "wait" to buy the next model of the iBook. If you like it now and want it now, GET IT NOW! The next release of the iBook will not be the iBook as we know it now. Consider the iBook dead. Let me say this again; BUY NOW before the iBook yo…
