Apple Stores officially closed

I just visited as many online apple stores as i could think of. They're ALL closed. Question: is this good, or bad?
 
bluetooth?

this may be dumb, but what is bluetooth?

all the apple related sites are going nuts with traffic. far more exciting than i'd have expected. should be good.

It's a wireless technology. The technology itself exists several years allready, but it's only now that products really start to come with bluetooth, like ericsson cell phones with wireless headphones.

He _could_ use it for a wireless 23" cinema display, but i don't think so...
 
Bluetooth/Airport cpmpatability?

OK, we know one of the keynote topics is Bluetooth. Does this mean we finally have an Airport/Bluetooth compatability??? God I hope so...

Steve is saying PRICE RAISES ON THE IMACS!!!!! DUE TO LCD AND RAM PRICE INCREASES!!!!!!! NO WAY... ****IN G ****.
 
From Macworld poster in tokyo

"Apparently the prices of LCD screens have gone up 25% and the price of RAM has gone up 200%. He is
saying that they are raising the price of the imac!!
Looks like a price raise $100, $150, $200 on the three models. Unbelievable! "

NOOOOOO.......not good, not good, I hope prices get back to where they were earlier today soon...

ON a high note apparently you can sync a palm in OSX wirelessly (is that a word?)

Price increase in all three models $100, $150, $200 due to rising RAM and LCD prices


...more to come
 
23" cinema display

Well, it's here. Now we just wait for the iPod (and hopefully a "One more thing", such as a just kidding about the price increases)
 
from Macworld BB

the new display goes for 449800YEN which is like little under $4000

Someone updated the correct figures, here's the real price.

449,800 JPY = 3,421.55 USD
 
What a crappy expo.. price increases on the imacs and a more expensive iPod.. just what we all need.. It should've been 5gig $299.. and 10 for $399.. considering apple claims they are selling like crazy?/ I dunno, smells like a major ripoff to me.
 
Apple store back up

Im gonna go check it all out at Apple Store. Thought you'd all like to know its back up
