  • The problem that I see with Multi-touch displays is that you are limited to using your fingers, no stylus need apply. This might be fine for a phone, but people are going to write and draw with this as well and while you can do so with your finger t…

  • Adobe Acrobat Professional is probably the most needed application for the site.

  • A better question is what do they need to announce tomarrow or within the next few months to keep their growth as strong as it has been for the previous 12-24 months. I would say that the most immediate thing that they need is more movie studios on …
  • hmmmm...same price as the iTV.
  • As I understand it, with the previouse upgrade to AirPort cards it was not possible to ship cards for older model computers that supported the new standard due to the limits to the connector data bus limitations. This apparently is not so with the n…
  • I wouln't hold my breath for a competative "low end" monitor from Apple. I don't think that Apple will offer a monitor for less than $499 and with todays prices that isn't even a great price on a 20" consumer level wide screen, let alone a 17".

  • Well, I deleted everything Adobe related and reinstalled. PhotoShop still won't launch. Image Ready will, both InDesign CS and CS2, Illustrator, and Acrobat run fine. PhotoShop runs through the process then quits. I have done the Apple reporting a f…
  • Well, I went ahead and did it. I bought a refurbished 20" 2 Ghz after carefully comparing it to the new Core 2 Duo's. I'm quite pleased with the purchase. I need to get more memory for it, but the $1199 price for the 20" was hard to beat. The only t…

  • It is always possible that the new "Design Direction" for enclosures will come out with the MacBook Pro's.
  • The obvious would be in January, it's the right venue and the right time to hit the "After Christmas" return/buying cycle. It would also make a more of sense for Steve to pre-announce if they are releasing it just after the new year than if the rele…
  • I'm not necessarily a fan of the Apple TV plan. I think that the AirPort Express idea has more of a market than TV's and will make more money for Apple. If Apple does do a TV what will they bring to it? They may compete in price, but they will not b…
  • Quicken was listed as bundled with the previous iMac and is still listed as shipping with the refurbished iMacs. It was also bundled with the Cube. It did not ship with the Mini. It no longer appears to be shipping with any Macs, though the MacBook …
  • Quote: Originally Posted by tubgirl this was a bit underwhelming wasn't? dare i say the beginning of the end of the mini...? I doubt it, Apple just needs to get them back down to $499 and $699 (w/SuperDrive) so that they can be used to attract …
