My wishlist in a version 4:- 1. More codec support. AAC is great for CDs you've ripped yourself (or bought from iTMS) but converting anything lossily encoded to AAC or MP3 usually creates awful results. WMP and Ogg support would both be very welc…

Well, I've seen the prototype. Essentially it's about half the size of the current model, when folded up (more on this folding design later.) It incorporates a 200G HD, plays DVDs you can rip using the enhanced iTunes 7 software, and comes with six …

Forget the 20" PowerBook, what about a 22" iPod? It could have a colour screen, and an absolutely huge scrollwheel. Just think, you'd finally be able to get a list of playlists and be able to read the entire labels. Sure, you wouldn't be able to …

Lest we forget: Commodore were easily beating most other manufacturers in the late eighties and early nineties with some exceedingly slick and powerful hardware - from blitters and HAM (an early memory efficient true-colour system) to pre-emptive mu…

The Gamecube already has a PowerPC, and it's a fairly nice system. The limitations it has have nothing to do with the processor, and it seems to have garnered some respect amongst the gamers I know who have tried it.

Quote: Originally posted by Carson O'Genic The only place I can see the need for a cube is at the bottom end. A G4 cube, i.e. headless eMac, that could expand the number of sales to those looking for a cheap computer.[/B] One of the things I'…

Quote: Originally posted by Res I love mini CDR/CDRWs, they hold up to 185MB and are smaller and far more reliable then a zip disk. I am seriously POed at Apple for using drives that can't make use of them. The lack of support for the mini CDR…

I once discussed with some friends the logical successor to the scrollmouse. Now, I know, there are going to be avid fans of the scrollmouse who'll get upset about this. But, well, it's like this. The scrollmouse provides a slightly different but…

OS X on Intel. I'm not dissing Apple by saying this, and I love my iPod and will destroy with extreme vengence anyone who tries to take it from me 8), but there's hardware out there, particularly in the laptop area, that suits me more than Apple's o…

Quote: Originally posted by Nordstrodamus Ok, I understand that everybody would like to have their cake and eat it too, but there is the simple reality that without the built-in optical drive the 12" pbook could be thinner and lighter right now. …

Note how he only says the PowerBook'll not be updated to the G5 until end of next year. He says nothing about when the iBook will sport the G5. I reckon we'll have G5 iBooks end of next week. Yeah.

I thought hell had already frozen over? Didn't that happen when OS X was released, a version of *Unix* for the world's most user friendly computer? I don't agree with the implication that the one-button-only strategy doesn't harm anyone (as poste…

Quote: Originally posted by Luca Rescigno The problem with desktops is that they can't fit more than a 17" CRT on top, if that, and they don't play too nice with LCDs. Also, they're quite deep so if you want to fit a keyboard AND a desktop on you…

You know what I miss? The desktop form factor. The desktop is now so rare people regularly refer to minitowers and towers that aren't servers as "desktops". The idea's quite simple: You put the computer under the monitor. Chances are the monitor …

I think they're going to surprise us, and put out the G5 based iBook next, probably in October to coincide with the release of Panther. Specs? I'm guessing: Good 1.4GHz G5 128M of memory 20G HD Radeon 7500 12" Widescreen New style chipboar…
