WWDC 2005 Approaching

I think that would be unlikely. It may be good for a desktop but laptops already have one - a trackpad. Apple need to produce a mouse that would suit both.

But if you put your laptop on an iCurve or something like it, that trackpad isn't really handy in use. I do believe both laptop and desktop users would benefit from this mouse.
Being able to scroll a webpage with your mouse, without moving it is just to easy to not implement. imho :D
 
What I'd love!

What I'd love from Apple in the next couple of months is an updated Shuffle, ie to 2 gb, and a Rev B mini to use as a bit of a MM PC!
 
I'm new here, but here's my $.02

13" widescreen Powerbook, same specs except for video

12" Ibook, video card revision to 64 meg and 512 MB standard memory, also change in color for all Ibooks from White to high gloss black (ala U2 ipod)...."Hey...Black...its the new White"
 
Aplle should get back into the PDA game. They released Newton over a decade ago (around 92/93 I think) and it was too ahead of the times for its own good and it went away. Years later up pops Palm Pilot and then Windows CE powered PDAs. Now would be a great time for a new Newton.

Exactly! Why is there a warranty for the products?? BECAUSE: If there's a problem, go fix it! I don't think the REV.A stuff applies anymore. Maybe back in the days like with Yosemite and it's handicapped IDE-controller.

Just think about it. The G4 MDD wasn't Rev.A, it was something like Rev.F, and still there was a big problem – that being noise.

If you want the new stuff, you buy the rev.a stuff and that's it.

Its been so long since a revision A anything you cant tell.

A warranty should be an expression of the manufacturers confidence in their product, and for peace of mind. If I was looking at a $x000 product, where I would be expecting to use that warranty in the 1st year, I wouldnt buy it. I wouldnt even poke it with a stick.

There are certain stock answers or bits of advice that are posted over and over again, regardless of the underlying truth. "Repair disk permissions" is one, and "Dont buy Rev A" is another. That is one serious cloud of mistrust. To reverse it, Apple needs to build and maintain a near-spotless track record in this area.
 
Hi,

I think we see new iBooks with a new enclosure at WWDC. It really doesn't matter if they are closer regarding the Specs to the Powerbooks. That happend before (Jan05) and can happen again.

New Powerbooks will come out around September, I don't see a huge update and therefore no announcement on the Paris show.
 
i personally think that there will be nothing special...The reason for the silence is because there is nothing... I am afraid that this WWDC might be a disappointment :(
 
The bump to 512MB RAM will be all over the line, the mac mini and iBook will get 512MB.

Then I hope a Powercube will be there, with a singel singelcore G5 and you can change the vidoe card.

Xserver will get an update, do I see a PPC980 or a PPC970MP CPU?

iTunes store rev 2
 
I've given up on G5 powerbooks for the most part, but am holding out hope for a Mac Mini update. I plan on getting one for the missus as soon as it gets a vid upgrade.

You dont work.

Plus, it looks better now, i got the front edge round the screen resprayed as i forgot to do it first time.

Back on topic. Id like an airport express with better range/perhaps apple to adopt wiMax and be first to implement it. Same thing for blu-ray optical drives in their equipment.

Also, I dont think PB g5s are quite yet. But how about a Powermac g5 cube? Much better expandability than the mac mini, but only single processor.
 
I have no idea what will come out so here is what I would like to see:

13inch widescreen iBook running at 1.42ghz with a new graphics card I would also like to see a redesign maybe thiner. Also normal iPods going color would be nice.

Macworld San Francisco, Apple Expo Paris, and WWDC all seem to be turning into very low-key events. The past couple events for all of these have been kinda dull with the announcements. The absence of a webcast backs this up for me, meaning that Apple is turning these events into low priority gatherings.

When have we learned about live feeds in the past - hasn't it been just a few days before the event? I'm searching my memory here, but it seems like in the past is when we've seen ARN on this sight and other sites post feed information one or two days before the event.

I also note that SJ is keynoting - Apple knows that they raise expectations when they have Steve on. Otherwise, send PS to tell us how great the iMac updates are and summarize how many copies of Tiger have sold.

That may all be me just clinging to hope (not that I'm going to replace my 1.42 PM or my 1.5 PB for YEARS to come), but I choose to HOPE for exciting advancements.
 
Introducing the all new iBook mini

Is all I can leak. But this IS the "one more thing"

Enjoy.
