  • Steve, "We are not going to release a PDA" plus "We've been working very closely with these guys (Palm)" equals ... "Palm is releasing an Apple enhanced PDA." This makes the most sense for Apple. They send a couple of software/hardware reps to…
  • The operative word he uses is "new". I'm thinking this means the new products in development aren't a part of their current product matrix. Of course, this says nothing about if and when they plan on releasing anything.
  • Something like this would be cool.

  • Uh, what about providing an upgrade for us G3 users? Wait. Nevermind. I'll just use my money and buy whatever amazing new CPU they release at MWNY. Or, if Apple doesn't release a powermac that amazes me, I'll will regretfully start pricing PC's. …
  • Steve Jobs spends 2 hours talking about Jaguar and iChat. No new hardware is released or updated.
  • Is this what we had in mind? This thing is EXACTLY what I want. It's unobtrusive like a PDA and has complete computer capabilities like a laptop. Please oh please Apple, take this idea and Macify it!!! Though, I have to admit that IBM did a prett…
  • There's no way AAC will replace MP3. none. the inconvenience of having GB's of MP3 to AAC outweighs the minimal gains achieved in the conversion. For the ipod, expect to see the ultimate utilization of the firewire port. We all know video in from…

  • Glove sounds like a very good idea for now, though if Apple does implement this, it would only be temporary until they reach critical mass in market share. Software sales are pure profit once they go GM. This revenue is too significant to give up in…
  • Simplicity? Is it simpler to press the control key on the keyboard with your left hand and press the mouse button with your right? I prefer to just right-click. The one-button mouse is the perfect example of Apple arrogance and stubborness. A/W M…

  • They should put all of those ports in the front. People would buy it just for the added convenience of not having to go fiddling behind the imac base.

  • ... um, before anyone asks, "NO." I don't think Steve Jobs actually reads his mac.com email. The main drawback is that we need cluster-enabled software. I can cluster my mac with all of yours right now if we have the Pooch software installed on o…

  • A few months ago, I wrote an email to steve@mac.com concerning possible products that Apple should produce. It was based on a purely "what would I buy? approach". One of the main suggestions I had was the ability for powermacs to automatically clust…
