Quote: What is the benefit of using bouncy metal instead of metal? glassy metallics are pretty hard. Think way more scratch resistant than Aluminum. Also, you can, in theory, thermoform them, which could save a lot of money compared to the mac…

This definitely means less than 2 million iPads sold for the quarter. Bad news for the stock. Although it sounds like iPhone sales might help as they seem to be doing well.

I am also a photographer and I love the air and have been so tempted to buy it but...I have an iPad which does 95% of my non-photog work and I have a Mac pro which does the rest. I have a 4 year old MacBook pro that I use when i tether my camera bu…

ROFLMAO!!! Quote: These researchers and analysts should try to sit down with Jobs and just ask him where he and Apple are headed next. Then they would have the real answer to their research. I assume what they would get out of such an intervi…

Man that sucks for the people who just bought the Xoom. The one year product upgrade cycles from Apple are bad enough, but less than 6 months? OUCH. I know this doesnt affect the acutal functionality of current Xooms, but still would have to make …

Quote: Apple would undoubtedly prefer to receive cash payments, as the transaction costs are much lower. Don't forget that roughly between 2% and 3% of the CC sale goes to the processor. There's also the relatively small risk of credit card fraud a…

In line at the store in Cincy. A least 150 people at 8 am. Sigh, no iPad for me almost certainly.

Well they sold out at both local Mac retailers, the Walmart, Best Buy, And Target. I think they had about 10 each though. I would only estimate sales this weekend of 300k. Unless the Apple retails stores have several thousand each Based o…

Quote: I'm thinking Target, too. Not sure why...just seems lower profile. For some reason I imagine there might not even be lines at stores other than Apple. It's usually the fans who line up...(like me)...not the normal people, and I'd expect a hu…
