  • If we do not see a G4 Powerbook this coming Tuesday, the chances of a G5 Powerbook goes up dramatically. Let's face it, a slight boost G4 could have been available easily over a month ago when the chips were made available in the upgrade market. …
    in eMac and PowerBook declared EOL Comment by mr. bob January 2005
  • Must mean HP is happy with the current iPod deal. I wouldn't be surprised if HP sold over 1,000,000 HP branded iPods last quarter, we'll know in just 4 days the actual number. This could be the beginning of other HP branded Apple products soon.

  • Patience is not a virtue on this forum. Now we will have the complainers.......not enough songs.........not the right artists.........price differentials.........etc. Don't we have fun! In due time all will be back to normal.......except...…
    in iTunes for Canada now accessible Comment by mr. bob December 2004
  • Since when is a 64% growth rate not impressive! Several dynamics are working here: 1). Accelerating sales of iPods (two million last quarter) 2). HP inventory now full with access to over 122,000 outlets. 3). Nine new country stores open for b…
    in Jobs offers update on iMac G5, Apple Retail, iTunes success Comment by mr. bob October 2004
  • Just stopped by Amazon, the top three sellers in desktops are the three models of the iMac G5. By the way out of the top eleven sellers, eight are Apple models. Not too shabby. Market share is looking up if Amazon is a true guage of sentiment. …
    in Another lame iMac G5 review Comment by mr. bob September 2004
  • To keep developers in the fold and happy I hope the iPod division will buy out developers who have key products. For Apple to compete with developers with similar products would probably have a negative effect on future new accessories for the iPod…

  • The March 31st IBM POWER architecture meeting could be the beginning of exciting happenings for Apple. We should get an inside look at where IBM is taking chip technology and possibily a roadmap and timetable. 8) 8) 8)
    in Macrumors: PowerMac/display updates imminent Comment by mr. bob March 2004
  • The next new hardware will be the new iMac and it will be next week. This is to not steal the thunder from the iPod mini expected on the 20th. It will be a knockout design that will make Ive proud and I believe it will have a top end G5 at 2.4 GH…
    in iMac Future Comment by mr. bob February 2004
  • An 18" to 20" PowerBook G5 would be used by those in the film industry....i.e. they need the screen size and they need the power, as portability would be a secondary issue here. If more space is needed to keep the G5 cool enough to be used now...…

  • Why is cubist so negative? Even at its worst the next Power Mac will start at 2.4 MHz and we should see that by month's end.

    in iPod Sales & Revenue Projection Contest Comment by mr. bob January 2004
  • What is being missed here is the format battle....it must be won....AAC must reach as many consumers as possible to ward off WMA....the cost to do this is lower profit margins on the total Apple portfolio of MP3 players. Compare the 300,000 plus …
    in iPod crushes the competition in November. Comment by mr. bob January 2004
  • Don't go down the road of WMA compatibility at this point in time. Once the sales figures for iPod's are revealed for this quarter with new iPods on the way and updated software enhancing use, the ball game is over. Let M$ make the move first...t…
    in Let the music store FUD begin! Comment by mr. bob December 2003
  • A DJ function within iPod software would be great for DJ's and many others who want to manipulate their music. If you know DJ's as well as I do, you would know just how many records and CD's these people buy every week. Hunting old records and co…
    in Next iTunes To Have Mixing Capability? Comment by mr. bob December 2003
  • I remember reading about a year ago Apple getting a patent on a method of changing colors for enclousers......Wouldn't it be great to select your own favorite color or hue.....or even change it at will, just in case you have a blue Monday. Someon…
    in What exterior iPod colours would you like, if any? Comment by mr. bob December 2003
  • Mini iPods, along with the Pepsi deal, information on the speculated McDonald's promotion and a new digital lifestyle devise could make the music dominated presentation interesting. I think that a later January Power Mac announcement would all bu…

    in Apple's Most Successful Retail Store Comment by mr. bob December 2003
  • The 20" Powerbook would be loved by the Hollywood film crowd, however a new definition of the "key grip" would be necessary to haul it around for the producers and editors. 8) 8)
    in Would you buy a 20-inch PowerBook? Comment by mr. bob December 2003
  • As most know Apple likes to shock the loyal following and jump start sales. I look for a 19"/20" Powerbook for the professional/video market with duel 7457 processors at 1.4 GHz announced at San Francisco. 8) 8) 8)
