Macworld San Francisco 2009 Rumor Roundup

nice.

Actually, i tend to disagree here. I know I (And many others) tend to like the idea of bluetooth in-car systems as as means to safely and legally take calls whilst driving. So in that sense, i use bluetooth every day.

I don't doubt the functionality of bluetooth, and like I implied I would expect the flagship iPhone to have it, period. I was speculating that a less expensive (cheap) iPhone nano could forgo that feature (among others) to differentiate it. My assumption is that iPhone nano users would not likely have bluetooth in thier car (heck they might not even have a car). Im talking students, city dwellers etc, as cool as bluetooth hands free is I don't use it and it is not a feature I even would think to ask about, that said if they put it in a nano phone... cool.
 
*Crosses fingers for a 64 gb ipod touch*....(thus lowering the price on a 32 gb) :D

Or perhaps a 60 - 80 gb ipod classic with flash memory instead of an hdd? I won't hold my breath.
 
Hopefully they release a new Mac Mini because I will buy it. Apart from that, I'd love to see any new products… and 28" iMac—WTF.
 
I predict..
$999 aluminum macbook
Redesigned/updated 17" macbook pro
updated mac mini and imac

I would like to see prices go back to pre-intel $899 macbook and $999 iMac but that isn't going to happen. Also a smaller footprint Air would be nice.
 
if they make the battery fix then they can kiss any hope of my buying one good bye. It also means they might start moving though all their lap tops. Yet again apple is loosing touch.

Reason being is the battery are already crap. In 2 years my brothers mac book battery was down to less than 1 hour on a full charge the batter was down to about 20% of it life after it was relearned multiple times.

That and in laptops. People switch batteries out a lot more often to keep the computer going....

Exactly. A "28"" iMac is ludicrous. It would be 30" and 2560x1600 if anything.

Well following the pattern the iMac is Due for a screen size bump in the same design, followed 9-12 months later by a redesign and drop out the small size.

Although 30" iMac would be very very big, but then again a thought that first time I saw/carried a 17", 20" and 24"

Apparently the batteries that will be used will be silver-zinc, which has a longer battery life and does not start to lose charge until 5 years of use.

Yeah, the iPhone and iPod touch run it, too. Because that's how their OS is marketed. Nice try with your shameless Psystar/beige box plug.

Utter fail.

Easy, killer. I am only tacitly familiar with Psystar, and am not sure what "beige box plug" refers to. My post was for [drum roll] transparent humor. Next time I'll follow it with a :p or a ;) if that will help.
 
The 28" iMac seems a bit much; however, if it will have TV capability, then it's a good size. Personally, I think they should lose the 20" and jump to at least 22", like the other All-In-Ones out there. 20" is getting small, actually.

999 is too good to be true. I've never owned a Mac in my life but I would have a very hard time resisting that price. They are nice looking machines. The firewire doesn't bother me since I've never used it. I just wonder how well it would work with vmware fusion or parallels so that I could use Autocad with it.
 
hye by the way anyone know who will be doing sms NOT through twitter, apparently my phone number is not available for twitter to send messages to my number, i really hope it's not my number... facebook seems to have no problem with it
 
Hi, Back to crush your hopes and dreams

Unless Apple is suddenly located in Russia which the domain iphonenano.com is registered to Apple, or any sort of site with the words Iphone and "nano", "mini", "air" or even "Pico" are unregistered to Apple or even rerouted. Not today folks, not today....

My opinion, search for yourself on whois.com

while you may be right, I think thats abit daft as it would mean you have a disc slot that does nothing on the front of the mini, unless apple pimp 2 cases.

imho if the mini has 1TB storage the only logical thing is that it has changed its dimensions similar to that of the Time Capsule
 
I know it's going to happen, but I'll be gutted if they drop the Alu MacBook price. Still price you pay for needing something new.

I'd like to see an Alu MacMini and maybe a cheaper iPhone Nano, but none too bothered about that one.
