- slightly better camera (own a dSLR, everything above 4 MPX is a waste, because it makes the phone too big) - GPS with downloadable maps and directions. Specifically for travelling abroad with a selection of maps that can be dowloaded via iTunes …

As a representative of "the rest of the world" I would just like to point out that I'm still waiting for any non-music (or iPhone Apps) content to be available on iTunes Store. I don't blame Apple for that, but I nevertheless think it is sad that EU…

AppleTV sales could have increased way beyond 300% and even become more than a hobby if TV shows and movies would be made available on iTunes worldwide. Apple's quarter was good because of international sales, so I wonder if this will push them t…

The brazilian user before me just hit a main point. Many of US customers on the forum are complaining, among other things, that Macs are more expensive. I live in Switzerland and, contrary to common belief, we are by no means a country of ex…

1. If Windows Vista has been a success I wonder where this "wave" of switching to Mac comes from. I read a lot of posts here saying Vista was very good and reliable, but then I only hear from people sick of Windows and who are impressed by MacOSX an…

I am by no means a lawyer or something. Just trying to use common sense and provide my 2 cents to an interesting discussion here. To me it looks much more a question of "what is an OS" compared to "who has the right to install or sell it"? …

MediaSmart is... well, how shall I put it..... UGLY! Apple is either sleeping or skipped MacWorld in order to announce Mac (iMac, MacMini, etc) related news in a separate event. I think the latter is what is going to happen. After all they made …

It also strangely disabled volume on some of my HD episodes that were converted from .mkv files with VisualHub. Not all of them seem affected but the most recent are...

I thought Apple would do something "revolutionary" in terms of design for the MacBook Pro, while keeping an "evolutionary" approach to the MacBook. It is good that they now build the MacBook in alluminium, much as the Air, but on the other hand A…

Besides the mentioned release of the iPods (which I think is more than likely given the image of the invitation), I think iTunes 8.0 will also be released. Likely to be included in iTunes 8.0: - separation between App Store (including the new ap…

1. Too many different phones will run Win with too many different capabilities, which makes it hard to develop something for them. (Application so-and-so will run on your mobile, but you will not be able to do "this" and "this"). 2. I am not a prog…

However one looks at it, it's clear that there is indeed a conflict of interests. It would be like WinMob attenting SonyEricsson meetings... I understand he has to quit from time to time.. I think he shouldn't even be there at all. Someone her…

I just followed live blogging yesterday. Nice and cool, intersting new stuff about the iPhone 3G (evolution, no revolution). Besides deception of no "one more thing" related to Macs (which I predict will have a separate event in September, as soon …

My opinion is that this whole iPhone thing is really getting too big. I don't know if it's due to the buzz the iPhone generates. My belief is that Steve is too involved in the iPhone and he might lose focus on the whole "macintosh" part of Apple. …

They didn't invent a thing. They do not provide ANY value for the customer (other than connection speed). They only are gatekeepers (very expensive ones that is). Music industry is just the same. Everybody is jumping on the iPhone like a golden e…

Ok, maybe I'll just have to live with it, but it still bugs me that I have an AppleTV since day 1 (take 1) and, after more than a year, I still have to rely upon "alternative" methods to get video content in it. I would be more than happy to rent…

System seems much snappier overall. I have however 2 issues, one which might be temporary, the other, I'm afraid, is much less: TimeMachine takes forever to perform backup. I wonder what is going on. It's performing a 1.4 GB update when, since ye…

I wonder if the look is going to be similar to the iMac in regards of the choice of materials. Morevoer I also wonder if they are going to keep the backlit Apple Logo on the back of the computer (one of the best marketing inventions in computer hist…
