I don't understand this, if the rumors are in fact true. It makes sense in the Intel transition if the iBooks and alternative screen sizes of the MacBook Pros are the next products to be released. But going almost AN ENTIRE FISCAL QUARTER befo…

Quote: Originally posted by mark2005 Hopefully, full/wide-screen higher-capacity iPods will also bring higher resolution for video, at least 480x360 at 4:3, or 640x360 at 16:9. Do you mean support in the video codec (the h.264 implementation …

It's good that the MacBook Pros are more readily available. I wonder if 10.4.6 incorporates a fix for the 2nd processor whine when it's in sleep cycle? Anyone with a MBP and a developer seed care to test? (Come on, you know you'll have to r…

I wonder if there will be any blip on the supply & demand screen related to the Windows XP booting on Intel Mac caper? For any potential switchers who have been sitting on the fence, the knowledge that they can keep their safety blanket of Wi…

It would be great if they held the event on the Friday as the intro to a massive party on the following Saturday... Can just see it now: all 150 Apple Stores with balloons spread around everywhere, birthday cake motifs, maybe the projectors coul…

And when the Intel-iBook ("MacBook Jnr?") appears, demand will hit the stratosphere! But I'll still hold out for the 12"/13" MacBook Pro which I'm sure J. Ive is putting the finishing touches on right now.

A NAND based hard ("soft?") drive would be good, but some people don't know that NAND is actually quite slower than magnetic media. Perhaps because it's sometime thought of as RAM which of course is very much faster than hard drives. But NAND is…

What a difference from the Motorola days, where the clockspeed would go DOWN before you got your product! But don't just put the 2.33GHz in the 17". The 17" is the size of an aircraft carrier. Make it an option for the 15" too. (And put th…

Quote: Originally posted by jesse1087 In my opinion (as much as I'd like to be wrong about it) - I think the CoreDuo and CoreSolo is what's going to set the MacBookPro apart from the MacBook. Lets hope I'm wrong I think you're probably ri…

The poor guys from Connectix (who were mostly absorbed into Microsoft when it bought the company's flagship product) must be champing at the bit to get VPC kicking ass on Intel Macs. The engineers that did MODE32. RamDoubler, SpeedDoubler, Virtual …

May only be a temporary slump until buyers realize the reality of the situation... Given that Adobe has just publicly announced that it won't be releasing Universal Binaries of Creative Suite products until the next upgrade cycle (CS3), anyone in…

Someone said a Mac mini they bought this week came with an iLife 06 DVD in the box. Don't know if that is enough to bump the model number?

What impressed me was the the iMac Core Duo can even beat my dual 2.5 Power Mac G5 which has a Raptor 10,000 rpm SATA drive as its boot drive and can normally annihilate anyone else's Mac! However, it's mainly because the iMac doesn't spend as mu…

I've had an 17" iMac Core Duo for 24 hrs and have none of those problems at all, perhaps because I didn't use a migration assistant (which I never trust anyway). On the contrary, I'm impressed at iLife 06's stability, especially before any .0.x u…

I'm I alone in thinking the Xbench results are extremely ambiguous? Taking Ric's Xbench scores, with my (facetious) comments added: iMac Core Duo 2.0GHz vs old iMac G5 1.8GHz: CPU Testt76.6 (core duo) vs 87.55 (old iMac G5) - Possibly tr…

Quote: Originally posted by nagromme [i]And to avoid panic... I think it's safe to say that 10.4.4 doesn't REMOVE Classic support from PowerPC Macs. It just doesn't have it for Intel Macs. (Although some kind of hack or virtual environment for Cl…

Dammit! I'm a developer in a small company and I originally decided not to order a DTK because of the $999 lease fee. That is, it was a capital purchase that depreciated over its short life. If Apple had said they would swap it for an actual …
