Maybe a camera, not a picture frame. There is not a market for the picture frame. Sorry Eye, but a PDA would be friggin sweet. People can say what they want, but I bet we would all buy one of them. It is even more plausible with iChat support AIM. That would be nice on a PDA.

I don't know if any of you follow the Japanese market, but there are a ton of new phones popping up with the capability to take, send and receive color photos. There are also a bunch of gadgets that turn your phone into an MP3 player. Finally, there are already a bunch of phones out there that have palm or PDA capabilities. On top of that, Sony has a PDA with a camera built in.

As much as I like all the little gadgets they are coming out with, it just seems to me like it wouldn't be all that hard to combine all those things or most of them into one device. Heck, I'm in the market for a new phone/pda combo anyway, and if it were from apple and had more functionality than just phone/pda, I'd wet my pants and giggle like a little girl.

Hey, mcrain, if you did, then all the other lawyers and tax collectors will too!

But here is the problem as I see it. If Apple incorped. all these features into their current mp3 player and made such a device, how high up would the price be jacked? Would the device be considered too heavy for conventional or simple usage? Will it need replacement batteries? If not, how long does it take to charge the lithium battery? How much power would it have? If Apple can come up with a way to get around these issues then I would support it much more.

some words on the G5


Its like when you go to a restaurant and you are waiting for your food. I usually get up and go to the bathroom and hopefully when I get back my delicious food will be there. If you all aim low and flame anyone for talking about G5s perhaps they will appear at macworld

That is the general mood I always sense in this forum. We all WANT the G5, and it appears as of recently (G4 imac and 1U XServe) that Jobs is listening.

Needless flaming going on. This is a forum. People are ALLOWED to voice an opinion. Quite frankly apple is doing its darndest to keep any of us from knowing ANYTHING. so to flame someone on what hardware they predict is just kinda silly dont you think?


what I think...

Updated imacs 800-1000 mhz

Updated powermacs (maybe, just maybe a G5 with delayed august entry new enclosure, DDR, Faster Bus to ship with 10.2)

digital device: digicam with firewire and ipod like HD

updated software (itunes 3)


not tooo lofty eh

Quite reasonable actually.

So nice to see everybody getting along so well. I may not need to rip anybody's lungs out this Expo.

I actually think that revving the iMac, X.2 and delayed new PowerMacs is doing OK considering how screwed up Silicon Valley is at the moment.

As much as I love the idea of a new iPod with a built in swiss army knife and GPS, I really think it's unlikely...... I'd sooner believe a 5GB iPod with a built in Sony mini-DV camcorder.

That would be interesting, but what if it was an Apple branded camcorder? Just some food for thought.

Pardon me, I forgot to reiterate a detail: Apple has entered a patent-sharing agreement with Sony, meaning they get to use each other's innovations....

So of COARSE it would be an Apple Camcorder.

It'd be an "iSee"

Yeah, good idea. Buy stolen property in a public manner so there's no question who's in possession of it when the police come a knockin.

How do you know its stolen? Anyway, the police don't care about Macs. One of my friend's friends had ther $150 PC stolen, and they put 4 officers on the job. One of my other buddys lost there iBook (it had actually been stolen) worth $1500 and they put 1 guy on the job.

You must live in a VERY small town.

My friends CAR got stolen and the cops didn't even show up to write a police report.
