Re: Re: Look at the Picture
No, I didn't mean it that way, My impression was that Stock Investors won't run away from Apple like they did with Palm & Handspring. Now, I use my palm every single day, my dad uses his at work, my mom uses hers, we are a wired family, every single one of us has palms and they sync perfectly with the Mac, making it a complete digital hub, but if apple manufactures a PDA, I would definalty buy the palm, unseen, and continue to buy more stock. As you have seen with the iPod, and the new iMac, apple has some killer products, many of whom are designed to look "cool" if people like the iPod, like my mom does, then its just another thing to catapult earnings, thus driving up the stock price, not lowering it like you have said. I don't think the Market needs a "killer PDA" but it needs one that does something and does it good. Most PDAs now store pictures, play movies and make cell phone calls. I just want something that is integrated with my mac, and has the ease of use of a OS X machine. I don't want a Cell Phone, I don't want Wireless Internet, I don't want to play movies, I don't want to store / Take pictures. I think, with the earlier introduction of the Apple Newton, they showed that they can make the product, its just consumers didn't want it then, now with demand for the iPod, iMac, and other products (Powerbook G4) they have something to bundle with it if they want.
I don't expect apple to really release a PDA at the MacWorld conference, but there is hope, thats why this site is here. But just remember, Apple still owns the Newton OS, and newton OS was made to run on the RISC processor. Palm and Most Pocket PC's are going to be on Risc Processors. Is there any chance of Apple updating the Newton OS and letting people have it to run on their palms/ Pocket PC's?
I would be grateful if Steve Jobs even let us take a sneek peak at some of the stuff they are designing, let alone release new products. All I want is something that does what I want it to do. BASIC PDA FUNCTIONS. I don't need to play music, and as I said before, who really does?
