My first iPod was a first gen iPod touch. I've never owned a Classic, but I still feel partial to these things. I've played with my cousin's and I like how you can feel the hard drive spin when you skip a song. It makes the electronic feel much more personal and 'alive', although I always get the impression the hard drive will break any time.
If one were to buy a classic now would you be able to make a lot of money later on?

As a MBP Merom dreamer i feel... well like I dont know how I feel....
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I was optimistic I would say the must have cleared the iMac out for a reason. Perhaps the new MBP will have a few more changes than just C2D to speak about so they updated iMac got it out and will now use the MBP as a big speaking event along with the iTunes Movie store and stuff...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another note, this must mean that the ACD's will eventually jump to 24"?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
And one last thing. No MBP Merom and no crying smiley face to show my expression...

So what is the bus for the Superdrive? Is it the old Parallel ATA with the ribbon cable?Yes the chipset has PATA for optical right now, they also show the two unused SATA over by the Optical drive -- but use them for whatever if they are there.
Doesn't mean Apple won't switch and make use of them for optical if there is need.

Maybe a whole new kind of display using E ink. Sony has something called a Reader that uses it. It draws very little power, none at all if the background is static and unmoving.
Look at it here. http://www.eink.com/
But does it do color? It would suck if you it was b/c you'd have to buy one iPod that uses this for books/artricles and another for videos.

What would it make you look nerdy?? May i remind you that this is an online forum about computers.
Dude, have you SEEN my picture in the "Macrumors Pics" thread? I AM the definition of a nerd. (Though I at least look/dress "normal") I friggen race "pro" RC Cars, I fix computers, setup servers, airbrush rc car bodies, watch Star Trek, Farscape and BSG!) I am a nerd, but not going to read a book that goes along with a video game. Give me some Ben Bova or Issaac Asimov material instead. Well, almost done with just about everything Asimov wrote...
Shoot, I used to mod orig Xbox's and have used just about every 2nd gen and newer chip that was released for it.....only a nerd would do that :D I stay VERY far from Dungeons and Dragons, Warhammer and Japanese Anime ;-)

I just bought a used 160GB iPod Classic last week. Having my entire music library in my car at all times: Priceless.
same thing here, but replace weeks with months.
i wish they'd come out with a cheaper deal made to interface with car stereos that has no screen, but hundreds of gigs of space. no inputs even. just a rest button and usb connector.

More great news. I wonder where the limit on this growth will be?
As great as Macs are, the price will still be a determining factor at the end of the day. I don't see it getting as popular as PCs are. Maybe 20%?

The reality is if you really need a Optical drive, that need can be easily taken care of with a USB device. When needed, it isn't something to carry around with your self constantly.
Is the bandwith of Bluetooth less than a CD or DVD reader?
It would be cool to have a bluetooth CD/DVD reader. If that worked it be so tight. No wires. And you could stack them and create a laptop with 5 optical drives. :p

This is the first, and last time Apple will ask for Sony's help.
Yeah, but not the last time it asks for all the hundreds of other suppliers help it does so yearly as Apple actually makes NOTHING itself bar software these days.......
And I'm pretty sure it's not called 'help' but rather buying the best components from suppliers to make your products with.
And on a side note, Sonys Exmoor R which is most likely what Apple will use, pretty much creams the iPhone 4's module, if it wasn't a big enough improvement Apple wouldn't bother with it and use something else.

Is that the verdict on the screw issue?
Yes, it is. The screw has always been there. I will say that ours is no longer flush like it was at first. Brushing your hand over it means you feel the screw whereas in May we could not. So, the screw may be more noticeable if this is true for others, as well. I could see it being very annoying for some.

Fortune reports (http://money.cnn.com/2006/11/22/technology/apple_beatles_ipod.fortune/index.htm?postversion=2006112708) that Apple may be close to bringing the Beatles music catalog online exclusively through iTunes.
Other music stores such as MSN and Rhapsody have reportedly courted the Beatles over the years, but with little success. David Munns, head of EMI North America, was recently cited as saying that the Beatles would be available online "soon".
The details of the deal are still being worked out, according to the article:
As Fortune went to press, numerous deal points were still being hammered out. According to a music industry executive apprised of the talks, the parties were discussing how lengthy a window of exclusivity iTunes might get and how many tens of millions of dollars Jobs - who is said to be personally involved in the discussions - will commit to an advance for the band and marketing costs.
If a deal is established, this would be interesting conclusion to a history of legal disputes between Apple Computer and Apple Corps (Beatles company). The most recent outcome (http://www.macrumors.com/pages/2006/05/20060508075122.shtml) favored Apple Computer's use of the Apple logo in association with the iTunes store.

yes, apple will be shooting themselves in the foot if they don't have that issue resolved in the second generation model.
does anyone know how many hrs it is until we should "expect" the announcement assuming it is going to be released within the next day.

Well, lets see where would they put it? Between Mac Mini and iMac.... you know in that $200 difference. Or maybe between iMac and Pro Mac.... in that what $300 difference. It seems like the Mac Mini bump and iMac expansion have left no room in the line-up for another Mac. Even with conroes... all speeds, sizes, prices are covered. There isn't room for a Conroe Mac. Period.
Why does it have to go inbetween the iMac and something? How about giving customers a CHOICE at the same pricepoint as the iMac. Lose the integrated LCD for those who have one, bump up the specs a bit and sell at the same price points... See my post above for what I would like to see....

What I don't understand though is if WWDC is going to promo a load of new products why have a banner that is going to be completely out of date? :confused:
Indeed. That PM might be fairly pass� by the end of the Stevenote.

If Apple manufactured their products in the US, the iPhone would probably cost $999 with a 2-year contract and the iPad would probably cost $1599 for the 16GB model.
When you have to pay someone $12 an hour to work an assembly line and pay for benefits and payroll taxes, that raises costs a lot to a country where you can pay 75 cents per hour and benefits like health insurance cost $5 a month rather than $500.
A 25-page document isn't necessary and the law would be dumb. All that it takes is for someone to take a basic economics course.
Americans who complain about jobs leaving overseas need to realize that when they go shopping they need to put their money where their mouth is. Everyone pays lip service to "made in the usa" but when they look at the price tags in the store they buy made in china!
The thing to watch here is if the quality improves when production is done in Brazil. If the production quality is the same or better, that's good news for consumers.

Ugh, this is going to give my PC-loving friends fuel for YEARS. Just like every little crap article that comes out about ANY possible Apple security problem.
If that's true, strongly consider getting some new friends. The previous huge Dell battery recall should be enough to shut them up, at the very least.
I guess I hit the "jackpot": both my 12" Powerbook and 12" iBook battery fall within the recall parameters. Will have to wait for Apple to fix their site so the serial numbers actually work. I uselessly spent about 25 minutes on the phone with AppleCare for no good result: they said try the web site later or call again tomorrow.
I will also have to go to all of my clients and check their batteries. A tedious enough task, but more billable hours for me, I guess. :rolleyes:
