  • emacs: will there be a margin hit....nope! Does this mean that Apple is selling us outdated stuff at the same prices? Hmm.
  • More updates Unit sales are only up 5% year over year, compared with 12-15% growth on the PC side. Apple reduced channel inventory. Apple is focused on increasing revenue, and is not concerned with marketshare growth. Apple believes marketsh…
  • Conference call details: Ipods: minis constrained through q3, availibility expected in q4. Aple maybe looking into additional suppliers. No comments on which componenets are causing the problems. Regular ipods have decent supply. Apple refuses…

  • dads and grads time is great for gadgets. I do hope we see some new ones..but what's next besides a video pod?

  • and they moved into this century with a radeo 9200 32md video. 256 DDR Ram standard and USB 2.0 (with a slight price drop on the superdrive equipped emac....and a faster DVD-writer than the PMs at 8x)
  • ipods are locked up because people steal them....you can't really leave them out. Look for mp3 players to move into the pda section soon ....and then the ipods will be on display. As the rumor sites reported the apple/bby pilot is over, and i…

  • Apple thrives on hits and sales spikes. If a new introduction doesn't do well..neither does Apple. Classic Apple situation. The powermacs didn't provide the huge spike that was expected. In fact the sales were pretty modest. Looking at past prod…
  • Panther. It takes forever.....it takes less time to print over my network, than it does to print to my usb connected printer from my ibook.
  • The prices are being cut on most of the rival MP3 players, the Samsung 20gb model is down to $299. They may be a point in the future where ipod prices will need to decrease as well, when the music players become more entrenched like walkmen. Rig…
  • Jimzip where's mine?

  • Well you really just want your friends to make an imformed decision...especially those with a video camera..or a digital camera...or aspiring musicians...or the ones who call you up all the time with PC problems..... or those people still trying to …
  • Quote: Originally posted by Neruda Jade, if one accepts what you're saying about Entourage as being true (Exchange/Entourage support being a deal breaker for people working in a PC dominated environment) then this is yet another example of how en…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Tomb of the Unknown Oddly enough, I get $2250.43 for the same system. Of course, I included anti-virus software and the MS Office SBE since the Works package is only a trial edition. Even without those, the price comes…
  • Sorry guys, but that was fair criticism of using an Apple in a PC dominated office utilizing exchange. Exchange supports sucks on a mac...and for lots of people that is a deal breaker! Networking with windows computers is flaky at best. I …
