Sounds like a new line of shoes.

 

[John]

Yes, I will likely have one of these before the year is out.

[Gomer]

No, that'd be Air MacBook.

For $1,799 it's a ripoff. Only 80 gb hard drive, 13-inch screen. Yippee, it's small and wireless, but that's a lot of cash to cough up.

Maybe $999 and I'd consider it.

the trackpad is awesome

 

[Inky_Wretch]

Aside from the world's smallest laptop and the greening of Apple, I was a little disappointed by this keynote.

 

[HoopsMcCann]

you and me both inky

not sure why they keep trying apple tv

 

[Inky_Wretch]

I can somewhat understand the point of AppleTV. I just don't see it really catching on until Apple pairs with content providers and integrate it into a receiver box. If I could get DirecTV w/ AppleTV, I'd be interested in it.

 

[HoopsMcCann]

if it had a dvr, i'd be interested (especially if it had nice integration with ipod, iphone)

 

[Mr. Homer]

I want to see a new version of the iphone. Was there any mention?

 

[HoopsMcCann]

software update, no hardware change

i'm still waiting for 3g

 

[Inky_Wretch]

I'm with you on that Hoops.

But with a major birthday looming in a couple of months, I'm thinking Mrs. Wretch might be getting me an iPhone as a present.

 

[Mr. Homer]

software update, no hardware change

i'm still waiting for 3g

I'm gonna get one, but hear I should wait for 3g, too. So when is it coming out? June?

 

[Italian_Stallion]

That pricing is outrageous. It's like selling me a Ford Focus and charging me twice the price of an F-150 because it gets better gas mileage. I wouldn't pay more than about $1,000 for a Mac laptop with a 13-inch screen, and that's coming from someone eagerly anticipating buying a new Mac laptop. I'll still with the super-fat MacBook Pro and its option 15-inch screen.

As for iTV, just ye wait. They'll get that content within a year, and folks will be getting their TV programming right through their computer.

 

[StormSurge]

Apparently, you can't replace the battery yourself, a la the iPod & iPhone.

You'll be getting an apple just it will either be a red delicious or granny smith.
Until you can plug the iPhone into the laptop and turn it into a cellular modem, I say "boo" to the iPhone.

 

[Mr. Homer]

So again, anyone know when that'll be?

So what is the deal with the 3 G. Can someone explain to me what that is?

 

[Oggiedoggie]

It doesn't matter what the price is.

Many people will buy it.

They have to.

It's new and it's an Apple.

Basically, the 3g is the next generation of software that allows for faster web surfing for phones. They have it in Europe and Japan and it should be here sometime soon (so I've heard).
