I always just end up pissed off. They always introduce something which will make whatever I have right now look crappy and overpriced.

The only apple product I own is an iPod, and I'm happy with it. I'm just interested in their designs.

The most commmon rumor is that they will release a 1gb flash player with *no screen* called the "iPod Shuffle".

no chance…..


Apple have been buying flash memory, most likely for a micro ipod.

The big announcement is the phone deal with motorola. It lloks like motorola phones will run a version of itunes. Alhough mac geeks are still hoping the whole phone and interface will be of apple design……

I've heard 2 things, a flash memory iPod (prev mentioned) and a sub$500 Mac computer sold without monitor. Neither of which will replace my current iPod and Powerbook, both of which keep my credit card debt alive.

There will also be a wireless remote control unit for your iPod.

Apple introduces Mac mini. New member of Mac family Slot-load Combo optical drive. Play DVDs, burn CDs. Queit. Tiny, FireWire, ethernet, USB 2.o, both DVI/VGA output. Very tine. Height is half the size of an iPod mini. BYODKM. Bring Your Own Display, Keyboard, Mouse. [10:35 PT]

First one is $499: 1.25GHz 256MB/40GB More memory and larger hard drive for $599. Will ship on January 22. Ships in a box smaller than the regular iPod box.

I did hear the new 3G phones were incredible. Video and streaming music delivered at DSL speeds to your cell phone (in America, finally!). Likely to be a part of the Motorola plan for Sprint and Verizon customers.

and they are extra bright for holding up at concerts! yay!

all up on apple.com now

Yep, surprised me….

I thought the main thing about the ipod was its navigation via the screen. I guess the only thing the shuffle has going for it is its integration with itunes.

1 is hardly novel.

2 is a pretty poor reason.

how so? tons of kids want one, and the high price was a sticking point, I bet a lot of people buy one to go with their real ipod, I dont want one, but people buy crap for worse reasons

It seems that Markie's under the impression that people only buy things they need. Consumers have been eating up iPods for the past year. A cheaper product in the market only helps the consumer buy one.
