    I say new Nanos and iMacs, but hopefully with new enclosures (more scratch resistant iPod, iMac with less chin). Mac Mini might get a speed bump or price drop at the same time.

    But the iMac getting Merom before the Macbook Pro... It would make sense updating the two at the same time. I'd love to see the MBP get an enclosure similar to the Macbook. Make them covered with black Vinyl like the Macbooks. Everyone can then choose whether they want to peel the Vinyl off to have the bare metal or not.

    :o

    But backups and updates are critical for such a device. That is my whole point... Are you arguing that it does not need ota syncing or just arguing? Obviously its serviceable without tethering, but you do need to sync it to a computer for it to work. Thats like if I had to plug my scooter into my car just to get it going. It makes it a luxury and not a necessity. They would sell more by making it stand on its own. Even if it required a wifi connection to do updates and sync. They would sell even more than they already do.
    umm i wasn't arguing with you :confused: I was just stating that you don't really need a computer to use an iPad, especially if you don't already have one. You made it seem like if you buy an iPad you must have a computer, not necessarily true, apple will set it up for you at the store and it will work just fine from that point forward it doesn't suddenly stop working if you never back it up or update it.

    I doubt apple would sell more iPads if it could update on it's own... i don't think there are any consumers out there who say oh, i can't update this device without a computer? Forget it, I don't want it...

    backups and updates are critical for YOU... not the majority of consumers. There are plenty of people who never update anything that they own, they don't understand what it means. I know people who don't even update the apps they have downloaded when their app store has a nice badge with 39 updates and they still don't know what to do with that.

    People on these boards don't understand how dumb the average consumer is. People always say well apple should have done this, I can't believe they don't allow users to do this, etc. etc. If you realize that you may want these features because you are technologically inclined, but the majority of "normal" users would just be confused by it you would understand more why they make the decisions that they do.

    Most people don't know how to install or uninstall programs, manage a file system, what the difference between HD and SD is, 720p vs 1080p, hell i know people who don't even know what bluray is. Your average family usually has more to worry about than if they have the latest technology.

    So can someone explain to me why they have to get Verizon's permission to offer system upgrades over the air, when you can already go in the app store and download Angry Birds over the air? Seriously, this would be a security boon to be able to push updates without tethering them to a computer. Many people don't sync their iPhones for weeks at a time, but they are on them daily. If you can push out security updates sooner, then it is a good thing for everyone involved. And I would wager there's waaaaay more bandwidth being sucked up by iTunes and the App Store than system updates would require.

    not necessarily true.. your phone won't allow you to download apps over 20mb, considering iOS updates are 600mb+ there is a major difference.

    OTA updates wouldn't really mean apple could push them out faster, if anything, based on other evidence it usually occurs slower. OTA updates for android are pushed out in "waves" so that they don't kill the network. When an iOS update is released anyone anywhere can download it.

    jeez, 8 whole mega pixels??? Wow fruit, welcome to you sure are being generous here. My android phone has 8mp and it came a full year ago... The pictures it takes are pretty sweet compared to my friends i(paidtomuch)phone4. I'm not trying to bash anyone but I see a lot of fruit boys on here saying they are OK with whatever fruity says. Ya'll really need to revolt or something because that's not right. I guess once the specs are finalized, we will see a 10+ mega pixel camera on either android or windows phone? I have no idea..

    I will suggest that perhaps a physical side camera button like the Windows phone has for taking pictures would great because with a touchscreen it is hard to tell if you took a picture in a noisy environment when you can hear the click.

    That is all.

    +1 Windows PC's are over priced pieces of junk.

    The only people here to argue against Apple have to be industry plants. How else can anyone be so blind to the quality of Macs versus Windows machines?

    Thinkpads are built incredibly well.

    I know what you're saying though, MOST windows laptops are crap.

    We had a really big shoot this weekend in a couple cool locations for a music video. Took some snaps so I'll share a couple over the next couple of days.

    I'll call BS on that.
    Apple does not design their own batteries. The casing perhaps, but not the core.
    They spec them to a vendor. Then vendor does the actual design work.



    Pretty cool video here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFj9vbYedwc&feature=player_embedded#at=13) showing the design and manufacturing of the 17" MacBook Pro battery.

    I think the irony has to do with the approval process for Facebook applications (like all of those games people play on Facebook), not access to personal information.

    I suspect a lot of that approval is related to security of the personal information obtained within Facebook. Don't applications have some access to that information? As a result, yea. The approval is pretty important.

    The sandboxing done on the iPhone means no application can access other applications data, and the only access they have is to the address book. This could be mitigated by prompting the user to allow an app to be granted access to the address book in cases where the app wasn't approved by apple.

    Security reasons are pretty small on most iPhone applications.

    This is morally and most likely legally wrong for Wal-Mart to do. Not that either of those are new to the folks running Wal-Mart.

    I seem to remember a different sentiment on these forums when it was announced Wal-Mart would start selling iPods. People who said Wal-Mart was a bad corporate citizen were called naive, were told that that's how business is done, long live the invisible hand of capitalism, etc.

    Now that Wal-Mart is trying to squash Apple's move into the movie arena, I see some people have come around. And with the sort of success iTunes seems to be having with movies so far, there just may be some studios who stand up to Wal-Mart too for a change. So in a way, I thank Wal-Mart for pulling this idiotic stunt to open up people's eyes. :)

    its gotta be:
    Figure a new umpc, maybe a tablet, and make it always connected via some new 3/4G network. They'll make a tiny device that people will always carry.

    The thing is, is it shouldn't be more exspensive than my existing phone plus data plan.

    I totally agree. However, the 4.x was sold as a viable update to my phone, and my older iPod Touch was upgraded automatically. Had I known it would have rendered them quite useless, I would have not agreed to the upgrade. Also, there is no way (that I can tell) to downgrade to a previous IOS (I'm not overly geeky). I am not asking for on-going support, rather that the phone that I paid for works for its lifetime. It is Apple's fault for not providing a reasonable explanation of what the consequences would be or providing an alternative to that IOS.

    I agree that they should not deliver an update that makes older phones nearly unusable. There is not much point to doing this. My alternative to this would be that Apple cuts off the older phones from support and updates sooner than they currently do if the hardware can't handle it. The 3G was almost outdated as soon as it shipped, since the software and hardware didn't match up very well.

    I think the key point of contention is, what does "for it's lifetime" mean? For a MacBook, it is several years. But for a phone, it is much shorter. I still have an old Nokia 6120 that I bought in 1999, and it still is "alive". But I don't expect Nokia to keep issuing updates for it. Of course if they did, I would hope that it didn't completely kill the phone off.

    As for downgrading your OS, I am not a hacker or jailbreaker, but I am fairly sure that if you dive into it a bit you can find a way to downgrade to an earlier and more useful iOS.

    They do updates, they are just free. No need for a full release for small add ons.:rolleyes:

    So nothing but small add ons for half a decade? That's still pretty sad.

    i don't mind an integrated graphics card, all I want is a better integrated graphics card, the best that intel can offer.

    Unfortunately, that's currently the GMA950 that's already in the Macbook. :(

    Apple will continue to sell the iPod classic as long as they are making money on them. I would probably buy one on clearance if they discontinued it and dropped the price. I love having ALL my music in one place without having to choose what to sync.

    Clarify please. You just threw that out of the blue. I'm not understanding where you're getting that from.

    What I meant to say is that the things we suggest and clamor for here are things which Apple already knows.

    We aren't going to alter their course with any of our statements, save for that 1 in 1000.

    Apple is a $5-7 billion dollar company (depending on AAPL when you read this). A full fledged chip maturation is a multi billion dollar process, thusly Apple relies on other larger companies to fab its chips. It provides input, but it is a slave to their whims. Sadly, Motorola's whims have not included advancing the G4 at a 'market leading' pace.

    We can tell Apple what we want them to do, but they are aware, and they are doing.

    A Power4 derivative with 160+ vector instructions just doesn't make sense for IBM to develop, if they don't have a specific user, or feel like adding Vector based instructions to AIX.

    So do what you will, but know that you won't change the future in a positive way by vocalizing.

    The 2.0 model also includes 4MB L2 cache instead of "just" 2MB L2 cache... remember the days when we used to measure L2 in increments of 256KB?

    One more reason to stay away from the 1.83 model.

    However, for some people it also means to stay away from Apple altogether...:eek:

    I remember the days when processor cache was an altogether new thing. Am I really that old? :confused:

    Reception to the original iPod launch was mixed. Our own forum responses (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=500) are interesting to look back on, 10 years later.

    Interesting indeed! Several forum members where asking for further development of Newton instead... a device that could possibly do everything digital... optical out... and so on. And here we go, only then year after we have these portable iDevices, so no need the iPod anymore. But I can operate the iPod without the need of looking at it, thanks to the scroll-weel, a truly revolutionary and easy to operate interface, yet to be really replaced (more like irreplaceable) by the touch one.

    apple supports products that come from anywhere so long as it is within warranty. So i don't care how grimy the store is, so long as its legal and the same price, I'll buy it from a grocery store next to the diet coke and raisins. I'll buy it from outback if they sell them. It's all the same. You could even buy them from a guy named dan on craigslist and they'll still support it; so...... awesome.

    Ironic that FACEBOOK is one of websites that most often CRASHED Safari 4.0.3 OFTEN!

    I'm not sure who's to blame for that, Apple or Facebook, but since many other websites don't crash Safari 4.0.3, doesn't this seem like the little stubborn child refusing to do his homework properly?

    Btw, I've yet to extensively test Safari 4.0.4 on Facebook, but my past experience was that Facebook has always been buggy on Macs, and every new update to the site always seems to cause a Mac-specific problem.


    I have never EVER had Facebook crash Safari. And I use Facebook heavily.

    Sounds something is wrong with your setup or you just enjoy spreading FUD.
