  • So you're suggesting the iPod stays stagnant and doesn't "complicate" it's interface with say a standard phone layout. You know, your idea of simplicity ends at the circle that tilts in 4 directions and shiny bubble in the middle. The average person…
  • Oh my, replying twice for the same thread in the same day [well 24hr span] is a big thing for me on these forums, but... Let's think about the phone tech here: First point (As touched on by melgross) The next iPod is expect to be a touch sc…
  • Quote: Originally posted by satchmo But I'm guessing a true video iPod would have at least a six, hopefully seven inch screen. Now that would be at least watchable. But would it be pocketable? I doubt it. This isn't a small tablet or what…
  • Buyers of the dual 1.42 were mighty angry at the original G5s...almost as much as he owners of single 1.8 --> dual 1.8.

  • Just some historical Data if anyone is interested: First: Apple-history.com Quote: Introduced in January 2003, The PowerMac G4 (FireWire 800) was primarily a speed bump of the G4 MDD line, although it did include several architecture enhancemen…

  • I won't be surprised if Apple announces a major event in the middle of March in which the iMacs gets a bump with GPU and .2 CPU, whilst they release tiger and welcome in the 2.8-3.0 G5 towers. The fact remains that the iMac is stuck where it is cloc…
  • I would bet on a 9600, X300, or X600.
  • Just incase you were wondering about actual benches: http://barefeats.com/g5c.html That shows the dual 2.5 with a 3.06 xeon. Can't hurt at least...
  • 12in Powerbook with Combo Apple US - $1599 USD Apple Canada - $1652USD Not much in comparison but it still hurts.
  • Quote: Originally posted by MCQ There's no way to get 640 on the current iBooks. They come with 256 built-in, and one expansion slot. You either can get 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, or 1GB additional... so either 384, 512, 768, or 1.25 GB total is poss…
  • A google search gave some interesting results, but hrm, This looks like it needs some set up...
  • Well question: Is it possible to use this iBook (getting internet from airport network) to give the internet to the xbox via ethernet?
  • Quote: Originally posted by PBG4 Dude Yea, that's why I said I was amazed at how such a little bit (1g) went such a long ways (covering multiple displays). That is really cool. Especially if it goes down to $10/g. At those kind of prices maybe we…
  • Quote: Originally posted by slughead I think it'd be incredibly clever for them to integrate the superdrive into the keyboard on the right side. Just lift up the number pad and put more buttons to the right of that (like brightness/contrast/power…
  • Quote: Originally posted by RolandG Not necessarily: The CD/DVD could eject to the side (like it does on the iBooks). Losing the optical drive when mounted to a VESA-compatible stand does not necessarily have to be a bad thing: VESA mounts are…
  • If it is possible, and there is demand now that people want to replace desktops, why couldn't apple do it? Hell they could put in a AGP8X slot or PCIe. They could replace the desktop all together with a well planned dock. Imagine that, a all noteboo…
  • Quote: Originally posted by kiwi-in-dc The usual reason for a dock - as with Apple's DuoDock, was to provide ports that were not available on the laptop. For very small, light machines, this makes some sense. Of course, Apple has pretty much p…
  • Quote: Originally posted by a_greer I have a question here, Power book vs. iBook: is the ibook acctualy more durable? if so then why is the more expencive unit made with a weaker enclosure? The iBooks plastic is more durable than the thin Alu…
