I think that the lack of nano updates is puzzling. There is a broad consensus that flash prices have fallen significantly since the nano was introduced in October. It is likely that Apple could update the nano to, say, 2, 4, and 8 GB while maintai…

Topic: When will Apple sell macs with at least 1GB of ram standard? Answer: When 1GB is no longer enough to run the OS properly.

If and when there's a new, larger-screen video iPod, Apple could have a smaller, mini-sized iPod with a hard disk that would be intended for music, although I don't know what the current capacity of the mini-sized HD's is. A nano would be too small…

I thought that the plain reading of this meant that each iPod buyer would receive a complimentary vPod. I am very disappointed. What I can imagine is that the standard-sized iPod would be no more. A hard drive-based, mini-sized iPod would be su…

I was only answering THT's hope. There are still things that can be added to a MBP to make it better. Whether any of them can be added is a separate question.

Quote: Originally posted by melgross One of the reasons given for the switch before any improvements to the G5 became available is that if Apple waited, then there wouldn't have been as much of a difference as there will be now. In that case, the…

Quote: Originally posted by THT I do hope the 17" will have some feature to justify its ~$3000 price other than +1.6" of screen and +160 MHz of CPU clock. The 2.16 GHz upgrade for the 2 GHz 15" MBP would eat up a healthy chunk of the $500 delta…

Quote: Originally posted by Programmer What, a 2 GHz 90nm single core G4 with 512K L2 cache doesn't float your boat? If they had kept pushing the dual core G5s it would have been a reasonable year for the desktops, but the laptops would h…

Quote: Originally posted by melgross You wouldn't have to eliminate all of that stuff. Don't forget that Apple had a single cpu tower G5 for $1,500. Just making the changes I suggested would have brought that down to $999. This didn't have any…

To me, a lot of the arguments for Apple to build a smaller PowerMac can be re-phrased as, "Apple should delete all that stuff that I don't need in the PowerMacs, redesign the case to something small and spiffy, and sell it to me for a really low pri…

Quote: Originally posted by melgross The single cpu tower failed because the way Apple decided to impliment it was bound to have that result. The entire machine was designed around the idea of two chips. From the power supply to the case. I…

Quote: Originally posted by onlooker People keep asking for the (failed) headless Mac again because the iMac graphics isn't enough, and it's not upgradable. If Apple offered upgradable graphics cards in the iMac I'd say 70% of them would forget…

Quote: Originally posted by onlooker Even with the elegant design of the cube there was little demand for it, and it was thusly discontinued almost overnight. I think that there's another factor in the discontinuation of the cube. When the c…

As an older PB G4 owner, I would be ambivalent about the highest speed until there are reports from users. How would battery life be affected? 8% less would be a loss, depending on what battery life actually is. How hot would it run? My Ti PB ca…

Quote: Originally posted by melgross I can't understand why you would include PS, which is not a native application, and therefore has nothing to do with what we are talking about. Jobs made it very clear, in his demo, that PS, and some other pro…
