  • Quote: Originally posted by crayz [B]Keep in mind that the Xserve has two processors, two drive bays, etc. Keep in mind it's also well over 600mm long, 45mm thick and 450mm wide - in volume it probably makes over four 380mm PowerBooks.

    in HP to produce pocket device to run OSX? Comment by clive January 2004
  • If they limited the licencing to just the "lite" version and just for PDAs, then it wouldn't cut into Apple's other hardware (ok, perhaps a little into PowerBooks). I don't see this as likely to happen, but it makes more sense than a lot of the o…

  • HP building a PDA with MacOS X Lite seems much more likely to me than Apple doing it themselves - but see that thread. http://forums.appleinsider.com/showt...threadid=36642

  • Quote: Originally posted by wizard69 While I agree that he cost of the Tower is high, I'm not to sure the price of the 970's has anything to do with it. Just look at what Apple did with the 1.8GHz unit a few months after release. The price o…

  • Quote: Originally posted by PBG4 Dude That's what I was going to say! I wonder how many GHz that XServe has when you convert to Euro or AUS $. The way the YanquiDoller is heading, about 0.25.

  • This thread is nonsense! So, some other manufacturer may use PPC chips, other than Apple - that?s the whole point, to have an alternative to Intel! It's been happening for nearly 10 years.
