  • There is huge difference between an MP3 player and a digital camera. The iPod does not CREATE music, while a camera's main function is to CREATE photographs. It is true that many cameras across brands use the same lenses and CCDs, but what makes on…
  • It would be foolish for Apple to go back to making cameras again. To much competition from companies with way more experience in photography. What they could have though is a photo storage device like the
  • I somtimes check out this digital video rumor site (
  • From Macnn: [quote] Apple details Mac OS X Up-To-Date program Apple's Mac OS X Up-To-Date program Web site includes details of the $20 Mac OS X 10.2 upgrade offer announced last week at Macworld Expo New York. Qualifying computers include any …
  • I don't think Apple is going to release any kind of camera, either still or digital. Just to much competition in that market. What I think they should, and hopefully will, come out with is something along the lines of the Nixvue Vista (
  • I just got back from Japan and noticed that prices of iMacs went down 20,000 yen (about $170) a couple of weeks ago. The prices of Powermacs also were reduced. The yen has gotten about 10% stronger in the last few months so that could account for th…
  • They are the same device. The one on maccentral is just OEM. I definetly think Apple is working on something like this...but it will be iPodized so way cooler and better functionality. These use a standard notebook hard drive so could be a lot small…
  • A couple more things. According to my rough calculations if a 1.4 MB floppy can hold 40 photos for TV viewing, a 5 GB iPod could hold 142,857 photos. Of course you wouldn't have that much free space just for photos and people would store higher res…
  • I just watched a CNN bit about the Microsoft TV Photo Viewer. What a lame piece of crap. Uses floppies that only hold 40 photos and a huge, ugly viewer box to watch slide shows on a TV set. Sells for $160. Now, lets imagine we have an iPod like …
  • [quote] Perhaps but when you consider who's more into having the latest & greatest tech stuff who do you think is ahead in adoption. Americans or Japanesse (sp?). Personally I'd place my bets on Japan. I personally think it's a better market for…
  • I still see no similarity between this design and the neck of the iMac. It is not even close. What is the patent filers connection with Apple?
  • Do you people really believe that Apple is intentionally holding back their development of the Pro Macs? That they are "stalling" for some obscure reason bringing out an updated motherboard and faster processors? Jobs has one of the biggest egos on …
  • One of the main advantages of firewire over USB is that is allows direct connection between digital devices without a computer. If Apple comes out with a camera I think it's main feature will be its ability to sync with an iPod to use its 5GB drive …
  • Last weekend I went to my local Apple Store and checked out the new iMacs again. I had gone there a few days after they were released when they got display models. I noticed this time that there was a lot more freeplay in the arm where it attatched …
  • If they were just doing a G4 speedbump I would agree that a quiet upgrade would be inorder...but if they had that in mind they would have done it today. The faster machines would have just showed up at the Apple Store. I think they did this once bef…
  • Two Points. First, the Crystal Clear Savings promotion on Powermacs and displays runs out at the end of this month so that could indicate a timeframe for new Powermacs to be released. Second, is that I am actually incouraged that there was no "ref…
  • This is way more hype then Apple has ever shown. They usually are trying to dampen expectations, not raise them! Even if there are new iMacs (that is 100%) and even new G5s (that is maybe 50/50) I think the something that is "Big" is beyond these. …
  • Looks like nothing more then a portable DVD player to me that someone has shrunk down a bit and pasted into the pic. The shadows don't even match the one given off by the cigarette pack. And what is that piece of paper with part of the Dell logo on …

  • I am not a tech person so don't quite understand all these details of 32 bit vs 64 bit processors, but it seems to me that the trend of late has been for the hardware to be way out ahead of the software. It wasn't that long ago that running many Pho…
