  • You are bonkers! 1 Big fat heavy bastard thing! Though it would be nice to be able to get one of those flat battery packs you used to be able to get from third parties. 2 Externally expandable is more flexible. What's the point in having flopp…

  • Quote: Originally posted by segovius ... at the existing price structure and the current line ups will take a cut of, say, 20% thus bringing the entry-level to the $150 region (as suggested). Eh? The cheapest iPod is USD:299.00, even with a 2…
    in Why the "minipod" is not going to happen: Comment by clive December 2003
  • Quote: Originally posted by spotcatbug Or, "mini" only refers to the capacity. That would work. iPods are already small enough (physically). $100 for a 2GB iPod, at its current size, would be pretty good. $150 for a 5GB would be better and that's…

  • Quote: Originally posted by FormatC2 Anything that holds more than 72 minutes of music, the amount on a standard CD, is a revolution. Well, if 1GB = 300 songs, that's around 40 songs on 128MB CF card - quite a lot more than any CD. And a coupl…

    in Three Features You Want Added to Every Product Comment by clive July 2003
  • I don't believe this rumour, or at least not in its entirety. I think it's very unlikely that Apple would put FW800 on the 12" PB. Seems to me that would require an additional port - space for which the 12" does not have - and a significantly rev…

    in Apple Digital Camera? Comment by clive July 2003
  • Quote: Originally posted by Programmer Close isn't 3 GHz. Actually he was being a bit pessimistic, 45% on 2GHz is 2.9GHz. It seems likely to me that if they can get that that gain from the process change, they are also likely to be able to ge…

  • Quote: Originally posted by kroehl IIRC the 8600/9600 case was the same as the G3 MT (the green button on top) and the G3 DT was the same as the 7200 (and later derivatives). So, that makes one case in 1997 and a new one in 1999. At a casual g…
