By the way, with the price of hard disk storage and RAM cheap nowadays, I wouldn't be surprised that the new iMacs will sport 500 to 1,000 GB SATA-II hard drives and up to 8 GB of RAM standard--this will allow Apple to keep its "premium" pricing.

I personally think the most likely CPU for the new iMacs will be the Core 2 Quad Q9400S and Q9550S models with the 65 W thermal design power rating. This will allow Apple to keep its iMac case design to something similar to the current design becaus…

The end of the iMac line, if this article is to be believed: http://www.thestandard.com/news/2008...end-apple-imac It's not as crazy as it sounds. With the current deep recession pricing the iMac beyond many users and the increasing demands fo…

I think Apple has pretty much settled on using the Intel Core 2 Quad Q9xxxS series CPU's rated at 65 W thermal design power (TDP), which will allow Apple to not need a radical overhaul of the iMac system case. Why quad-core? The reason is simple:…

(Holding up 3G iPod nano 8 GB ) I'm not surprised at this because the "ecosystem" for iPods is so gigantic that in terms of third-party accessories, nothing even comes close to matching its success (I believe Apple owns over 7 out of 10 portable…

Does your car stereo have a 3.5mm auxiliary jack connection? If it does, get the Griffin Technology AutoPilot unit, which outputs the audio through the iPod data connector and can charge any iPod that uses the USB +5V connection.

I think it's possible that Apple might not choose the Core i7 for the iMac for one reason: the 130 watt thermal design power (TDP), which means the cooling system may not fit inside the standard iMac case design. They may go with the Core 2 Quad Q94…
