The A4 video encoder is based on the VXD 370 and Apple will not need to worry about power consumption so if they limit to 720p it is to reduce file size of the stream. Quote: PowerVR VXD 370 (previously known as "MSVDX") is a high definition, mu…

So now we have Gartner predictions which IMO are actually not bad compared to NPD Second-quarter Mac sales in the US are said to have increased by 24 percent to reach 1.7 million units, outpacing the industry average, according to a report publis…

So how did IDC due last qtr in their prediction? They predicted 1130K for 8.3% YOY growth. According to Apples actual earnings release. They sold 971K units in the Americas and 606K in retail for 1577. Lets say US makes up 90% of that 1419 vs a …

What BS analysis. OK if isuppli says the BOM is about 180 how does a return cost $300. Assume the redesign worst case uses all the existing parts except antenna. We have cost of shipping, chinese labor, and a new antenna part. The potenti…

Isn't it great we have something to talk about other then the oil spill. Seriously folks their is so much mis information. People who rely on the bars as an indicator to wether you have a problem are wasting your time. When not connected the in…

I think Gene needs to sharpen his pencil along with the rest of the Street. If Apple sold 2.603M in 2009 and I get 39% growth then I sell 3.618M not 3.1 to 3.2M The US sales from NPD point to a much better number then Gene will admit because the o…

The Hype builds. It was interesting to me that Verizon was nowhere to be seen at the release of the iPad, but that too could be coming. Apple has already gathered the low hanging fruit. My guess the the folks remaining on Verizon will not switch …
