Notes Of Interest From Q/A

[MacRumors]

Due to the intimate setting of the press conference today, Apple elected to have a question and answer session with the attendees. Here are some of the notes of interest from that Q/A. For more complete coverage, please see sites with live updates from the event. Editor's Note: Q/A is paraphrased for brevity and readability

Q: Why aren't you participating in the "Intel Inside" sticker program?
A: We like our own stickers better. We love Intel, and we feel most people know that we use Intel processors. We'd rather customers not have to peel stuff off.

Q: What about the Mac Mini?
A: The Mac Mini is being refreshed today with faster processors.

Q: What about Apple TV?
A: Nothing about Apple TV today, but we'll have news regarding it soon.

Q: You have Multitouch on the iPhone. What about on the Mac?
A: It doesn't make a lot of sense right now on the Mac. We'd classify that as a research project.

it was nice that they did the Q/A. even though i personally like just listening to steve, it's good to get questions from others

[AlexisV]

A 5 minute Q&A session and a tenth of it was wasted with such probing questions such as why no Intel stickers?

Nothing about the Mac Pro, Cinema Displays or how Leopard's progressing. I thought the people in there were supposed to journalists!

I agree with you whole heartedly. Journalists? Pffft.

Yeah, they asked some stupid questions. Like about the AMD chips? They should have been asking about the Pro, Cinema display, etc. Glad they asked about the Mini though. I wonder when we'll see the updates to it hit the site.

I am with you. Nothing on Leopard surprised me a bit.

Intel stickers? You have to be joking me. What idiot asked that?

[logansbro]

iWork, iLife, Mac updates all very nice.

The QA must have thrown everyone totally off guard, because those questions were L.A.M.E. I bet the QA is the reason MR wasn't invited. You know what we want to ask, and none of those questions would be in any of our top 25 lists. Weak.

I wish someone would ask Steve when the major iphone update should be expected.

imacs are back up on the site, with some music to=]

[ChuckG]

Anyone have any idea why the new Bluetooth keyboard has less keys than the wired keyboard.

Edit: never mind, guess the whole wireless thing makes having a wide, full-sized keyboard on your lap impractical.

a gazillion patents, the aquisition of Fingerworks and it's a research project....

And he would have dodged the answer and said the current product is great and that a person should buy one now.

Which is true.

OR. They have other things to do during the day then play games therefor it never crossed their minds...

THAN play games. But, anyway, the point was that they asked no good questions.

How dare you? WE "mac" people have to wait for how many months to get ANYTHING new for macs (besides speed bumps) so you people can get your precious "iphone" which so many people can't even buy (I live in canada). We finally get our news.. the news we want... and your important question would be "enough of this mac stuff, when is iphone 2.0 comming out?"


Flame me all you want, but apple still sells computers... get over it!
