Ever owned a 12" powerbook? I have two.
There's a reason a lot of 12" powerbook owners rave on about them. The form factor is very neat. It sure isn't about how powerful they are :).
Too right. My Rev. A will have to be completely dead before I replace it with a 13" MacBook. The only way I'll buy another laptop before then is if Apple come out with a 12" MBP.
Not slagging off the MacBooks by saying that. I just love my PB12". Best laptop ever IMO.

Well as Burke said: "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. "
Nipsy, you seem to be in a world of your own here. You're not paying attention to what people are saying and doing on this board and simply believing that you're right because you're a shareholder. I could buy a single share in Apple, but it doesn't mean that i'm going to be right about everything i think Apple should do.
If you want Apple to continue to be "behind" (is that a gentle enough word for you?) in the hardware sector, then that's fine.
But the FACT is that most Apple users, DON'T. They want to see Apple competing with PC hardware properly. Apple is already such a small part of the market and IMO, they need to increase speed to
Have you ever heard of the phrase "Give the people what they want" ? Well most people want speed and numbers.
And anyone who has said "I like your style, Nipsy" in this thread, no you don't, you just like the fact that he's defending your precious Macs. You guys whine and complain about what Apple's needs to do right, but as soon as someone points out that Apple is doing something wrong, you suddenly completely disagree with the very points that you yourselves were making. It's pretty pathetic.

No I do not blame Apple for this at all but that doesn't mean it's not frustrating for me. If they need to change their timeline of course they should but i am not sure i can stomach another 6mo to a year on a 3GS.
I have a 3gs still as well (since I never got my white iPhone 4...), and if any of these rumors turn out to be true, my plan is to string along the 3gs until the next iPhone is launched, or until it becomes clear that a hardware update isn't on the horizon.
However, I think it's very unlikely that Apple is going to slip so far with iPhone launching. September has always been the month of iPods. There is no sense in bottlenecking multiple product launches into a single month. If this rumor is true, it would mean that Apple might launch Lion, an iPhone, iPods, and possibly even iOS all in the same month or in close proximity. This goes against Apple's methods in every way. The iOS lineup is very clearly spaced out to take advantage of both the back-to-school season and Christmas.
Launching 3 or 4 products within a few weeks of each other would cause problems for Foxconn, suppliers, shippers, 3rd party retailers, and Apple Stores.
Thank you! Finally some sense. AT&T doesn't even have LTE deployed yet. They say on the official At&t FAQ (http://www.wireless.att.com/answer-center/main.jsp?t=solutionTab&ft=&ps=solutionPanels&locale=en_US&_dyncharset=UTF-8&solutionId=KB115944) that LTE will start being deployed by the middle of 2011. Even if Apple waited until September the LTE would just be getting started and the coverage would be too lacking.
LTE iPhone is in 2012
Indeed. Apple hasn't exactly been too keen to pounce on the bleed edge of technology, especially when it comes to tech that other companies are responsible for managing and deploying.
I could be horribly wrong, of course, but I just think there are too many problems with these September theories to give them much credence. There might be a genuine technical problem that's causing problems, but that's quite different from an intentional desire to hold back the phone to implement a new, barely available, piece of tech.

They're not using OLED screens. From the iPod nano tech specs:

It's definitely just a regular LCD screen.
oops, not sure how I missed that. I even combed through their page :eek:
Sorry guys. disregard what I said :(

Oh whatever, I am buying a MBP by the end of this month when I have the cash ready. I could care less if it is the latest one out or not. I am sure that whatever I buy will suit my needs for years to come.

You guys do realize that your 3G is realistically 4 years old, right? It used the same processor, screen, graphics and RAM as the very first iPhone. They just added the 3G/aGPS chip to make it a 3G device. Four years is an eternity in cell phones.
Thats no excuse for apple to gimp the 3g. iphones are not meant to be disposable, they cost over $600+. All these bloated updates are bogging down that little phone's system. They should have their own lighter update packages.
I use an old, cheap, Nokia 3500 and its as fast as the day I bought it. It will surely last many more years to come. Then again, its not really a little computer with a phone in it. But this baby sure lasts.

what are you talking about?
once you sync your iDevice to one itunes account, you can't plug it into a different computer and transfer their photos, apps, music, etc. to your device without completely restoring it to that itunes account. This has nothing to do with never charging your phone.
So you think because it's wireless it will allow you do that? That's a big assumption. Charging was about the fact that wireless syncing at least for me only makes sense if you can charge at the same time (induction charging) otherwise it will be slow and battery draining. I sync my iPhone at least once a weak and i put 10-12 GB of music and videos on it everytime. For such amounts wireless sync is pointless. Of course people sync different amounts of data and at different frequencies, but they sync.

I agree that this would be cool, but what would make it even better is enhanced iSync or other capability for third parties to take advantage and make content available. I suppose the iTMS could handle it, but the user should be able to load whatever he or she wants on it, I would think.
pdf's sound like a good start to me. :D

you know this isn't real, right? This is one of those BS stories that Apple begins to spread internally to see where the leaks are...to test their employees. I'm sure it was only told to a few people in the organization to see where they were coming from.
I highly doubt you're going to see a 3D iPad any time soon.

Alright yall... figured out the brand of this case for the many you who have asked me/pm'd me.
Brand is Avenues USA, and it is a black zip folio. Bought it at Staples for $15.99. I just brought in my mba to test on all the folios and this one was perfect. I might be selling mine if I sell my MBA for the new 11.6" haha. Might go for something smaller since I would be able to!

Hackers rank up there with drug dealers as the scum of the earth. Pathetic, cocky wastes of human life. And no - there's no way you can convince me otherwise and I know I'm not in the minority on this one.
Side Note: Of course I'm talking about the ones who release their stuff into the wild and don't just notify the software company about the problem and keep it to themselves (those are good people and should be commended - it's the other ones that are a waste of flesh)

Ive waited and waited for a year to replace my old G3 imac so I hope that Apple release an Imac with a 23 inch screen ! It would be great for animators like myself.....I was thinking of buying a Samsung screen anyway so plz Apple release it

Don't we post the 'tagline' every year?
Does anyone have the list of the slogans for the last few years and how they related to any product releases?? I believe this is a deliberate red herring by Apple. Pigs might be in the air - flying?
Either that or its something small(ish) like new Airport Express iTunes streaming thing. Maybe trying to make 2008 the year that everyone does away with CDs and downloads all their music and streams it around the house.
What about an Apple Radio of some sort? Able to play DAB radio and stream your iTunes.

I don't get the "3D" screen thing???? My regular 1080p TV can play a 3d Movie just fine. The 3D software shared here on MacRumors didn't have any special screen... what the heck would Apple do to make it a 3D screen?
I say "false".
Have you not heard of Nintendo's 3DS...??
Here's why it's really false. The parallax barrier would have to either be vertical or horizontal. Unless there's tech that works both ways, and even if there was, switching orientations would make everything all blurry.
Oh, and putting your fingers on the 3d would mess with it. Smudges show up far worse on a 3D screen, and iPad doesn't have buttons like the 3DS, so it would either be tilt or 3D, not both (kinda like the 3DS is AR or 3D, not both, but there's enough control schemes there that don't mess with the 3D.

I’ve always wondered about a ROC company with manufacturing in the PRC, especially since the PRC seems to want to muscle the ROC out of existence.
Regarding Brazil, some people complained about Obama being in South America when things started hitting the fan in Libya, but the US has mostly overlooked South America for too long, and South America is more in our long-term economic interest than Libya.
In any case it makes a lot of sense to diversify manufacturing locations. My company after all has its PROD and BCP centers at least a thousand miles from each other. The Sendai earthquake has reawakened the need for that kind of thinking.

I doubt it. While multitouch is practical for handheld devices, it isn't for desktop computers. The idea just isn't ergonomically sound, and doesn't seem like the kind of thing Apple would do. iOS is pretty good for what it is�a simple, stripped-down interface that allows people to interact with handheld devices. It's not a replacement for Mac OS X, Windows, Linux distributions, or other desktop operating systems, and it would be foolhardy for Apple to conflate the two.
I know that I personally would be pretty annoyed if Apple decided to make all its operating systems identical to iOS�I think there's a time and a place for multitouch, and a time and a place for desktop operating systems. God forbid iOS and Mac OS X merge.

I reduced military spending to $90B and increased Vets' aftercare, too. Major gain came from removing the cap on SS contributions completely.
Yeah did that too. I had a huge surplus before I started increasing spending on infrastructure, education, social programs and alternative energy. Priorities, priorities.
