I love the look of it, and as somebody with an iMac, I'd definitely find this useful, as I want something portable but not as my primary machine though using OS X ) I do think Intel deserves quite a bit of credit for making this possible. Without…

"availability limited" is the most marketing term ever. Everything is "limited" of course. This is just planned for less, but how much less? I reckon they'll sell quite a few - china, middle east, kids of oligarchs, drug dealers, Hollywood/singing …

1) ? doesn't need to sell many many millions in V1. I consider this almost a learning experience for them. The figures won't be public unless they chose to make them. 2) They're dismissing the 'lower-tier' of their customers / targeting their more l…

Overall though, judging by comments on this and others, I wouldn't exclude possibility that Apple will lower prices at some point - or at least adjust them subtly if they see demand is considerably weaker than they expect - probably NOT though befor…

As far as I am concerned the 'free' tier is basically, well here's a novelty, 'buying*' the music on the iTunes store as you do now.. Seems fair enough. Apple adds a service, they can sell it. Why they should need to offer a free tier is beyond me. …

Blame Google all you want for devaluing the price of music but I havent seen Apple provide a viable alternative. PING and iTunes Radio (USA only..) wasnt exactly much of a friend to the music industry was it?

What I love about Ive is that every word he says seems so real. Doesn't sound like marketing message - which, frankly, I find oozes out of the likes of Phil Schiller (I sense incidentally that those two aren't so close - he wasn't mentioned once in …

Been using the preview Outlook app for several months (publicly available for quite a while now, not that anybody seems to mention that). Office 2011, frankly, had become a disgrace, especially those of us paying for 365 and seeing PC counterparts l…
