Guess i would need FIOS for that.

It dawned on me that we probably won't see HD downloads until fiber to the curb is rolled out nationwide. And that appears to be a long way off:

Let me tell you...
I currently have an iPod 5.5, (because I had it replaced and they gave me the newer one) playing videos isn't as great as it sounds. I can only get about 1:45 minutes of video playing time. I use my iPod while riding the train to work everyday, and I can only view half of a two hour movie, because I don't want my battery to die before I get to work.
I think this is the main concern of Apple delaying the launch of this new iPod Video. They need to have figured out a way for the battery life to last at least 4 to 6 hours...:(
True, but the 80gig iPod has something like 8 hours of video playback..maybe it's 6.

Writing this with my 12'' PB on my belly. All good!
Yeah, love this baby in the winter. Saves me a dime or two on heating :)

Personally I'm not too interested in this as my music collection isn't that large and I add new songs too far apart to make syncing an hassle. Don't have to worry about being connected to the internet either to listen. I could see it being useful for those who have a huge music collections though.

yeah, I know what you mean. I was a little hesitant to do it too since I too was not having any sleep issues. But I just can't stand having something show up in software update and not downloading it! :rolleyes: The update was actually the first time I've gotten a firmware update to go through on the first try. So woohoo apple.

So that's probably around �120-130.
If it is, ouch. The specs are quite unimpressive too; the camera only runs at 640x480 30fps.
The Wii Fit wast $100 and it was only for exercise...and they sold 22 million of them.
I don't think they really need anything really high rez to get the outline of your body. But maybe in a future version where it might recognize facial expressions like in some of those old demos...you'd either have to be close, or need a Kinect 2. And you gotta be pretty darn fast to make 30 fps not fast enough for some of these games I think. Unless you're like a karate master. ;)

I'm becoming sure that however many Macs Apple sells, that market share figure will never climb above the magic 5% limit.
Does saying that make me one of those Mac Zealots I keep hearing about?
Are you going to share your research? I would not say this qualifies you for a mac Zealot. I would think false prophet is closer to the truth.

Na, these two have and will survive without iPhone.
These already have traffic capability anyway ( via subscription ).
I am in agreement with Chaz on this. With Android and iOS having so much built into their portable OS now, I kinda think the days of dedicated GPS devices are going to be limited.
It is sad, but I do see more and more iPhones, and Android devices attached to front windshields were a normal GPS usually goes.

Didn't they just roll out a new spectrum in NYC?
That's true, there was an article here about it. But that does not excuse the fact that even if that was implemented, people continue to get dropped calls and the dreaded 'call failed.' Walking down Manhattan in broad daylight and I get a dropped call? I pay a premium, just as other iPhone users do on the AT&T network and the service shouldn't go from bad to worse.

3mbit/sec is still pretty slow for this. That's only 375K bytes/sec. A 600MB media file (the size of a CD, and apx. the size of an H.264-compressed full-length SD video) would take about a half-hour to transfer.
Now, with my 30mbit/sec Internet service, I expect to be able to transfer, from the biggest sites anyway, at maybe 20mbit/sec. At certain times of the day, I get the full 30. At 20, though, that 30 minutes shrinks to 4 minutes.
In my post I was referring to megabytes not megabits. I get a solid 50megabits down and 10megabits up. I think this should be sufficient to get the system up and running with a possible upgrade in the future.
Having said that, I am usually working with files less than your 600MB benchmark because they are all webpage elements.
Sorry for the confusion, thank you all for your advice. I've been carefully reading each post and appreciate your continued support.

Core 2 Duos in the MacBook Pros!!! Come on you know you want to damnit....
Hell yes!!!
With a better mobile graphics GPU, i.e.,
ATI Mobility � Radeon� X1800 Series or
GeForce Go 7900
Larger optional hard drives:
offer the Seagate ST9160821A-RK 160 GB ATA-100 for mac laptops or Seagate Momentus 5400.3 160 GB
and here is the kicker: (optional)
Blu-Ray Drive player/burner, with DVD+-R (dl) ability.
hey i know it would cost more, but apple is supposed to lead in terms of technology.

Awesome! Are you going to OC it?
But of course! Should be able bump up the turbo multiplyer to hit 4.4 on stock air from what I've read, and let it scale back to stock clocks when idle, if it's ever idle haha. We'll see how that performs (and what the noise level is on stock air) and go from there. Everything I've read says the stock cooler for the 2600k is overbuilt by intel purposefully to allow for overclocking.
It's uses will be: Encoding blu ray and dvd rips, and rapid re-compressing of video for my phone (all of this should be 10x faster than it is on my current MBP C2D). Playing games; hello Civ V maxed out and Portal 2, BF3, FSX, etc (and Minecraft at a billion fps). And of course folding with the rest of the spare clock ticks.

Wow, if this is indeed live that's great! I haven't seen a live broadcasted presentation from Jobs in quite a while, probably since the last WWDC or MWSF which was done live a couple years ago.
I thought Jobs wasn't going to do the presentation today?

this doesn't contradict loop insight at all.
they said no iPhone 5 at WWDC. This is saying iPhone 5 is coming shortly after WWDC.

God this is the best news of tonight, i can finally get rid of my iPhone 3G.
June will be amazing.
So.. iOS 5 (which is rumored to be a total revamp), A5 Dual Core CPU, upgraded GPU, larger screen, NFC, and a tweaked design yet same form factor. I'm really liking the sound of this.

PowerMac G5's are awesome but they are also getting old, so unless you REALLY need to save the money, get a Mac Mini.
NO you can't upgrade the graphics card in it and no you can't have 3 hard drives and all that stuff. However, the new Mini will still be much better for just about anything you'd want to do with that G5.
As much as I love them, they are old, and, they are really showing their age.

Apple is not doing this for the first time! They know exactly what they are doing by maintaining a healthy level of tension regarding stock, shipping, etc. It's all part of the game!

What has me curious is why the area where the calendar names appear is blurred. Seeing the "flippy triangle" makes me think that iCal will support calendar groups. Some uses for groups that I can see are:
1 - Eliminate clutter by only showing the calendars in that group when it is selected.
2 - they can be used as a source of calendars. For instance, you might create a group called "Work" with the source being an exchange server so anyone's calendar that you have rights to see will appear under the group.
3 - Improve backups, syncing, or sharing.
This functionality exists in the current iCal

Didn't they do something like this with the eMac when it first came out? It took them a while to release that eventually to the public. My guess is what happened is that they relized that there was a lot of demand for these amongst students and teachers and got worried that they wouldn't have enough to supply the schools.
That was my first thought too. Maybe they got enough response from non-schools that they are worried the supply wouldn't hold up to get the schools stocked before the new school year.
Just like the eMac originally being this way, I think once school is in full swing and Apple is caught up, we'll see these offered to teachers and higher edu students.
