So I think all those that think a video ipod (if it comes out) will canibalize Nano sales should think again.

The iPod is not ready for video. Macrumors people like ourselves may be, but the rest of the world is not.
 
powerbook!

There better not be a new powerbook, i just bought one less than three weeks ago and the guy at apple over the phone said I would not need to worry about an update. if there is.. should i call and complain at 1800apple. All man this stinks
 
Did anyone here the foreign guy ask about the progress of the intel switch. The responce was that they would have them in by summer next year. The foriegn guy then asked if they thought it would be any sooner. The response was extremely wierd, he took a pause before he said anything, then said there would be announces about it. could it be tomorrow possibly?

Anyone have the exact quote? We'll want to pore over it for months and read too much into it :D I know I will. But I stopped the audio (it was skipping like mad) and missed that.

Just visited friends which use a Archos (?) 2.5'' drive based device. Has one big screen on one side, covering the whole front. About the size of a 2.5'' external Firewire drive.

Stores photos, music and video. Can be operated via a remote using a TV as screen.

Essentially a crossover between a TiVo and an iPod. Or call it a portable TiVo.

Nothing to carry around everyday in your pocket, but still.

I noticed that too, he didn't "not" say that they wouldn't have intel products before June '06. He definately paused. Hmmm...

Also, did anyone notice he said "products" for tomorrow. So its more than "one more thing"

This is pretty sweet. Was there any mention of the growing market share?

Not sweet enough, stock down 8% in after hours trading , now about $46, from a > $51 close. It's hurting, i hope they make the pain go away tomorrow :(

You might need some software to run with that processor, chief. ;) :D
 
Let's see these really cool PPC machines !!!!
It would be interesting to see Apple sell the heck out of these last versions of PPC. I know I am going to snap one more up before the INTEL switch - just to get the fastest shiniest machine I can run all my software on - smoothly.
Perhaps with that logic, there will be continued strong sales for PPC and Apple.

apple v's windows and linux and the rest of the os's not stock prices
 
did anyone catch if they gave guidance on ipods? I was wondering, b/c we could do our own math considering the guidance includes tomorrows products.

You have a point there. I wasn't inferring that they would come out tomorrow, just before June. :D

But all mac comunity is talking about iminent powerbooks upgrades... I think you should not complain if it occurs...

And, most important, the PB line realy deserves an upgrade... don't be selfish!

I'm with you :) A January announcement (February shipping) wouldn't shock me. Neither would May, but I'll hope for MWSF!

And lack of software is partly helped by the fact that they'll be selling both Intel and PPC Macs. If you can't do what you want with an Intel Mac, you'll have other options (but--probably--not the same product line). Which is confusing to buyers I know, but the transition IS going to have some rough spots, nothing can help that. It will be worth it, and I for one would like to get started on it :) Even if I need to keep my PPC Mac for certain apps for a while.
