Quote: Originally posted by Programmer Can't even ship them? If they don't start shipping when Apple said they will, then you can make that comment. They had good reasons to pre-announce when they did. Bollocks. They pre-announced for hype v…

Quote: Originally posted by Ensign Pulver Consumer electronics devices should put ZERO burden on the user. Pick it up and start using it immediately. If your supposedly simple, consumer oriented interface requires reading a manual, then it is poo…

Quote: Originally posted by Ensign Pulver Do you honestly believe Apple will stop making iPods soon? What the hell is the point of that? So iTunes just goes back to supporting dozens of crappy third party MP3 players? What about the iTMS? Steve c…

Anders, you point 2 doesn't make sense, because if they were just stop gaps Apple would just continue with the FW800 models - these have disappeared. The point here is really not that there are some G4s available, but those G4s are MacOS 9 bootin…

Quote: Originally posted by DHagan4755 Interesting point. At some point in the future, I would suspect we'll talk to our computers much like we talk on our cell phones. That's what we were thinking ten years ago...

Quote: Originally posted by @homenow I still think that this has the potential to be a very short lived model, and could be replaced at any time by a 1.4 Ghz or faster model with little or no fan fare. You think they're going to upgrade the 1.…

Quote: Originally posted by rjwill246 While some of what you say might play a role, Apple simply cannot and SHOULD not become a supermarket for technology items. Well that's exactly what I'm saying. They won't re-enter the digital camera marke…

This story is complete bollocks. Apple just launched a completely new range of machines (and can't even ship them) and you're contemplating that they're going to have another completely new range of chips within a year!?

Lemon, that's a lot of guesses and extrapolation (the 9.0 "stragglers" here make over two-thirds of the installed base - seems to show a slowing of the adoption of X, 5 million were claimed at the end of 2002). As to shipping G4s, I could kind of u…

Quote: Originally posted by pesi no, there is a mobo difference between the two lines. the OS9 booters use a cheaper mobo that doesn't support airport extreme ot FW800 or built-in bluetooth. probably some other stuff too. I think it's untrue …

Quote: Originally posted by Chris Cuilla Personal computers are "commodities" (not). I'm pretty certain they are - Apple differentiates here with the OS, not really the hardware. Quote: Originally posted by Chris Cuilla Digital music pl…

Quote: Originally posted by jccbin They are selling the OS9 booters because that's what they've got to sell. I don't think this is right. We bought a couple of OS9 1.25GHz just before the G5 announcement (and the only regret is that the price…

Quote: Originally posted by Commodus My understanding is that these pseudo-new G4 towers will be pulled off the shelves once the G5 is shipping (August/September). At that point it'll be pretty hard to convince anyone to get a G4 tower, even if …

Quote: Originally posted by cwedl Do you think that apple should make digital cameras. Apple abandoned the digital camera market 6-7 years ago, I think it's unlikely that they will re-enter given that this sector is pretty much "commoditised"…
