I don' t think that you will see a "virtual" keypad. Apple knows that most people dont actually look at a remote or keyboard, or even a keypad most of the time, relying on our tactile senses to enter the data. They gave the iPod a way to do this and…

A video cell phone? Unlikely....people want to talk on their cell phones without holding them. Also where are the key's? Touch screen you say? Well, the tactile quality of real buttons means that you can dial the phone without actually looking at it…

AIO's have never been successfull in the living room due to the vast array of concessions people make in their needs for the systems that they put in their home as well as the variations in delivery. Then there is also the advancement of technology …

Carbon Fiber is a lot more expensive than Aluminum when you add in production costs. Aluminum is relatively cheap, and it is innexpensive to make parts out of...you just cast them. A good carbon fiber component has to be hand laminated, so you have …

Apple and Intel have a bit of time to worry about that, and Apple is in the better position in that they have shown the market the ability to switch processors successfully with OS X with little or no hiccups for the end user. They could easily swit…

From what I can tell by what I have read reciently is that 10.5 will not be ready. MicroSoft will have their next OS ready for release in January. So Apple can try to show off an unfinished OS to compete for press coverage or try to get that attenti…

The question is what would iChat be used for on the perverbial iPhone? If it can offer a compelling enough of a reason to use it on the phone, and this was a big selling point, and Apple needed speciall software on the PC side to take advantage of i…

I'm not sure that the movie studio's are going to be contained by a threat from WallMart or Target. There are plenty of other retail outlets for DVD's out there, and the other retailers don't have the clout to push the studios for the lower prices t…

hmmm....no mention of movie sales numbers. I was hopping to see those anounced to get a read on the advance of future movie offerings from other studio's other than Disney. The lack of specifics on these sales does not boost my hopes that Apple is g…

The obvious reason for a HDMI port is that it is the current technology and most TV's today are using them, so the iTV needs it for connectivity plain and simple, and this is the same reason that it has component video out and both optical and analo…

I saw that the other day, it was pretty amazing how easy it was to trick them.

The iPod doc has audio and video out, and the iPod can output 640X480 video. As long as there is a doc where you go or you take yours you should be able to hook it up to a TV and play the new higher resolution video on the road. This does not make i…
