  • I saw one yesterday, T-Mobile has them (yea!) but i wasn't impressed. There's no memory and the buttons feel weird. i can't imagine trying to type on that thing. It's only a cool factor, it's not very functional.

  • So the misquote contains 'shipped' instead of 'done' and adds an 'Apple' in front of the PDA. Other than that, what's the difference? Hardly even considered a 'slight' misrepresentation, more like a shortened summary with the media's freedom of crea…
  • What chips will Apple use on two more G5 updates!? The top G5 is water cooled because it's over clocked. I don't see Apple over clocking it more, especially not for two more updates. I see them cutting costs maybe boosting speed slightly but adding …

  • I absolutely expect Apple to redesign or modify the G5s or first gen intels. Why? Firstly, the G5 is due for a tweak, they usually tweak every year or so. Shorten it, widen it, etc. Secondly, the G5 was designed to cool down the hot chip, the Intel …
  • Quote: Originally posted by rustedborg The possibility of cheaper and faster Macs is appealing, but I'm curious if we see some of the amazing design/style we've seen in recent Macs disappear. The last time I checked, the high-end Intel chips a…
  • Jobs looked at cell and - Quote: The New York Times also confirms that Apple has investigated other chips as well. Apple reportedly met with Sony regarding the Cell design but Jobs "was disappointed with the Cell design, which he believes will b…
  • I was looking at a G5 this summer/fall but now I will definitely hold off until the Intel machines are out. Not sure if I'll brave rev A intel tho.
  • Quote: Originally posted by applenut stretching the chip to the max? i sure as hell hope not as the 2.5Ghz is the first chip of the next generation I thought the 975 was the next gen?
  • LOL, looks like they forgot the 2.5 and the 2.0. Unless that 1.8 has no apps running while the other one....
  • johnq- Are you saying that a cable came with my power book that plugs into the adapter/plug? I'll have to check my box as I've never see or heard of it. Kickaha- Brand new receptacles. It's the plug, it's bottom heavy and pulls the unit downward …
  • I'm weary of the device because it's the power supply that I have for my pBook. My plug doesn't sit correctly in any outlet, it moves and thus it sparks and crackles. I have to pop a wire underneath it to create a angle to which it can hold itself u…
  • I say fake for one very obvious reason, the square edge of the monitor. Never happened, or will happen. It should have been slightly rounded to mimic the G5.
  • Well let's look at PDAs. I had one, sold it on eBay a month later. It does a few things, nut all can be done on your computer. It stores names, addresses, notes, and other info that can be downloaded to a phone. The only real good is as a transport …

  • LCDs do not have an issue with black levels, RPTV LCDs do. LCOS is years off. Phillips has one, it sucks. Intel is making the chip, yet no manufacturing company has been slated to pick it up. Once one does it could be a year or longer before a T…
  • So after reading the last 3 pages of this 4 page thread, I guess there is no news news on the topic rumor?
