  • A few issues. Most of my outlets are under/covered by desks. Sound would be muffled. Additionally, your height would cause issues as they would not fit anyway, due to the height of said desks. Also, as one with issues with Apple powerbook adapter no…
  • I don't really see the need for this in the computer space. And there is too much competition in the TV space. Apple isn't a Gateway so they wouldn't make a 30" and sell it as a TV. As for HTPC you can find much bigger and cheaper alternatives.
  • That's because those people usually compare to a cheaper version, not a comparable one in which case Apple isn't much more expensive and in some cases cheaper.

  • So this screen won't crease? I can't imagine a material that would lay flat folded and not wear at the edges over time or at least crease. Then, trying to use the touch screen in the middle of a crease seems like it would be frustrating.
  • I'm starting feel old as I can't figure out what the hell your title says.
  • Wow, I can't believe how many of you here don't get it. The mini iPod's sole purpose is to take away sales from competitor's to the iPod. Remember the expo? The mini iPod is aimed at the Rio and similar crowd, not the iPod crowd. This is to target t…

  • So Apple will jump into the tablet market a week after M$ pulls it's software and resources out of it siting no money to be made?
  • OLED is the future, no doubt. It will be the Plamsa/LCD of tomorrow. However, it's slated for tomorrow, as in it's a few years off. Kodak just make's it's playback screen on it's camera using OLED. It's cheap, flexible, great image, etc. But we're t…

  • Quote: Originally posted by musicaltone I think Apple could come up with some excellent, kick-ass speakers you would attach to or sit on the desk next to your Cinema display. Say in partnership with someone like Bose. That would be cool. h…
  • I'm sorry but the idea of a video ipod just seems pointless. It would be like transferring movies to your video camera tape and watching them on the camera's color LCD. Everyone knows, that while watching the movie on the LCD, you are constantly thi…

  • Does anyone actually download uncompressed audio files that would even warrant high end audio? I mean, sure use the iPod to store high end uncompressed audio and then play it on your high end system, but, ah, why not just play the SACD or DVD-A on y…
