The G4 processors are SOL, at least for Dreamweaver and Photoshop CS. My guess is Adobe is done with the G4 processor and the next version will ditch PPC altogether.

iWork/iLife - If it hasn't been done already then they will be compiled 64-bit top-to-bottom for Intel Macs. Numbers - Gets two modes like Pages, one for spreadsheets and the other for databases. This will allow people to get their AppleWorks dat…

I think we will see an updated version at MacWorld2009, along with the iMac, and it will get the MacBook innards (i.e. nVidia graphics, DDR3 RAM, 802.11n networking, etc). DisplayPort instead of DVI is guaranteed because Steve told us, but the FireW…

iLifeiMovie - Chapter markers. iPhoto - Backup utility that can select by film rolls, events. keywords, etc. The backups can either be an iPhoto backup, or a raw backup. An iPhoto backup would basically be creating a new iPhoto library of the select…

Since you are editing video then you should get the MacBook Pro because it has dedicated graphics while the MacBook has integrated graphics. Apple just updated the iPhone a couple months ago so if you want to get one then get it.

I just thought of something. If the ARM processor is 32-bit and the iPhone OS "is" Mac OS X then we might see 32-bit support for the foreseeable future.

I never looked at OpenCL that way. From what little I have read about OpenCL, I got the impression the GPU would be used for mathematical purposes (i.e. calculations), not things like searching strings, or video/audio encoding/decoding. It does seem…

Welcome to the forum. If you do not need a computer right now, you should wait a bit to see how Apple updates the MacBook Pro. While I cannot give you an exact date as to when the update will occur, my guess is by the end of September. If you ar…

The two things I would like to see are a 15" MacBook and integrated graphics with its own memory. I have seen laptops with 14" screens and they were bordering on being too small. Vertical space is more important to me than horizontal space, especial…

Since the MacBook Air has only one port it seems to me that putting USB 3.0 in it would compensate, speed-wise, for not having FireWire, but I might be jumping the gun since the specification for USB 3.0 was released last week. If Apple does wait fo…

Welcome to the forums. If you need a computer now, then buy, otherwise wait a month or two to see what the new models offer, and at what price. If you are not impressed with the updated models you could get the "old" for a discount. The last time…
