Haha! Everyone waited for this update and it's so lame. Core 2 Duo is nice, but I'm certainly glad I bought my r1 MB :D

I would seriously be all over this product. I am still using a 2G iPod that I bought before they even ran on Windows. I've had no reason to switch because it still plays music just fine. However, if I could carry all my music AND all my books in my pocket, I would be sold.
There are many moments throughout the day where you find yourself with 5-10 minutes of downtime. Usually I pull out my BlackBerry and try to find something on the internet to read. I've always wished there was a way I could get some books on there in a format that would be easy to read. Please, Apple, make my dream come true.

If you look at the picture of the iPhone poster, it seems to have a couple of subtle differences compared to my iPhone:
http://images.appleinsider.com/macworld-banner-7.jpg
1) The white etching on the home button seems rounder than current iPhones
http://www.codefarm.co.uk/userpics/button.jpg
2) The In Call screen is different, and is that a desktop above the call status? Looks like somefiles icons there
http://www.codefarm.co.uk/userpics/files.jpg
3) Look very, very carefully at the top left hand corner: Is there a front facing camera hidden amongst the reflections?

Maybe I'm just suffering from pre macworld hallucinations, but that certainly looks different to my iPhone...

Does anyone know if they resolved the issue of updates 'caching' on the App Store...i.e still showing the number of updates available badge even though they have been downloaded and installed???
Yes its fixed! I updated, had 5 apps in store to update. Updated, badge gone! :cool:

The iPhones 5 MP camera is better then the competitors 8 MP cameras. If they are on the same quality level with a new 8 MP camera it will be better then the competitors 12 MP camera.
Megapixel numbers are not as important as most people think.
People who are only in love with specs don't want to give the ipad its due.
The device works, because it is optimized for itself, i.e. hardware and software specs are integrated really really well.
It has a great price point and stressing over camera quality is ridiculous, as it is not a camera! Will it be better, yes in the next generation when availability and prices of 8 MP or more fit into what Apple wants to pay for it.
People also don't want to recognize that an ipad is not a laptop. We are IMO about 50% there, but until reliable voice recognition technology replaces a real keyboard, we have to wait.
I always have to laugh when I read about the next ipad killer.
The last ipad killer was actually the ipad2, and that with such a weakly underpowered camera in it.

The new Nano just a fraction thinner.
The new ones are ever so slightly thinner and have rounded edges like a mini. I put mine up against my partners 1st gen (in it's rather scratched case) so you could see.
I changed my mind on the packaging pic too. When the iPod's in there it's like a little glass coffin :)

I run a HEAVY load of services (Apache, TomCat, MySQL, a lot of cron, etc.) on my machine at all times, iTunes at all times, many terminal sessions, several browsers, BBEdit, CodeWarrior, Excel, Mail, and often have DreamWeaver, Photoshop, Thoth, Flash, and several others open, and I seldom have slowdowns. I don't render anything, and I respect the complaints of people doing heavy rendering.
If you're are noticing slowdowns, max your RAM, and get a RAID card. If you're peaking both processors with 2GB of RAM, and an U160 SCSI, or ATA 133 RAID, complain, otherwise, you don't really have a right to!

But you are not required to upgrade OS X all the time. Hmmmm, maybe some people should start to look at Linux by now. With Ubuntu folks could get two upgrades every year, and they are 100% free :).
That's true. If you skip a OS X release, you're still fine. Skip Vista and you'll probably be a decade behind at some point. But it's almost a given to purchase OS upgrades whenever given (as long as some major features are given) because your entire working environment is in the OS. Anyways, I think it's just important to view a Vista purchase as being the equivalent of at least two OS X releases, so saying that Vista is $239 and OS X is $129 - and thus, that Vista is more expensive - is not completely true.
I'm afraid to touch Linux :( I don't even know what it looks like, how it works, or what runs on it.

To me, this just feels like a slap in the face to ipad2 owners :(
And please don't tell me that I don't want a reasonable quality camera in my tablet. Just because you don't.
I would not be surprised if they fitted 1gb or memory in the next iPhone to as another punch in the guts to iPad buyers.
Apple always does that, yet people still buy the next ver of their hardware. If people stopped buying into their games of incremental fragmented releases, Apple would quit doing it.

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.

I wonder what breaks more often, the hard drives fitted in the classic or the fragile touch screens of the iPod touch?
Depends on usage patterns.
I've had two HDD iPods - a 5th gen and a 6th gen - crap out on me within months. This wasn't unexpected since I was using them for long trips on motorcycles and Land Cruisers on crapped out African roads.
I used the original iPhone sans case for the most part for well over two years in fairly harsh environments. A lot of dents and scratches. Broke the glass last year when it fell off of a table onto a concrete floor.
The glass just has to be protected from mishaps and this is fairly easy to do. OTOH, depending on your usage patterns, there's nothing that you can do to prevent your HDD from failing.
Unfortunately, you are probably right. Though it would be nice to see one last revision of the Classic, I have a feeling that this is the end of the line. Also, a good point on the buy used bit. I tend to forget that the Classic is still two years old as is and used models are readily available on eBay, etc.
Well, yours is a point I've been thinking about for the past few weeks. Since I use my iPhone for a lot more than just music, only about a quarter to a third of the capacity is available for music. A HDD based iPod is convenient for a lot of reasons so when they announce that the game's over, I'll buy a last gen classic and do a HDD swap. In the fatboy 6th gen Classic, you can horn in a 320 GB.

Yes, I know that they are two different categories, but the MBPs would definitely steal a lot of the iPad's thunder.I doubt a new MBP announcement will hurt the iPad in any way. I think only an inconsequential percentage of Apple's iPad customer base would change plans for an iPad and choose a MBP instead.

Paul McCartney is quite a jerk. I wouldn't want to see Steve Jobs insult himself by appearing with him.
Apple Corps breed, inspire creativity? Geewhiz, I don't know whether that's the case... enough LSD and that helps :mad:
Honestly I like some Beatles songs but this is the most overrated band in the history of mankind. Even Cat Stevens and Steely Dan turned out much better.
Well, it appears someone's certainly looking for some venomous exchanges on the MacRumors forums...

I don't know about the UK, but I believe that they're available now in the US.
if they're not too pricey i might have to update, although they're gonna have to have more power than the II's, there's a piddly amount of wattage in the sub.

I just bought a Macbook Pro literally 5 minutes ago. I've been waiting for months and I finally gave up. After the order was completed, I thought I'd check macrumors just for laughs and the first thing I saw was, "new macbook pros tomorrow?" :(
Relax and enjoy your machine...at most, it's gonna be a speed bump and some new ports, nothing else...not to mention that so far, only hoaxes have published around. I figure Apple is gonna take a while to launch the new MBPs this time...

I don't know that I would call it feminized, but it certainly seems bratty and petulant. Sell them everywhere! Someone mentioned Starbucks and 7-11... and while they were being douchenozzles about it, I say those sound like great ideas. I don't care if they sell them at hot dog carts in the park... the more places that sell them and the more people that see them the better. When you limit an item to boutique stores, the items get a stigma of being posh and elitist... that is NOT how you move tons of product.
The Commodore 64 was also a revolutionary product that was priced exceptionally well and far ahead of its time. As soon as Commodore moved this product into Toys R Us, Kmart, etc. it became a toy. If Costo, Sam's Club and Walmart were around back then, I'm sure we would have seen them there as well.
Apple is making this move to combat Android market share. Android devices are largely sold through cellular operators, so for Apple to open the flood gates at a number of large consumer retailers is a sign that Apple is getting more aggressive about increasing iOS market share in places where Android has no presence. Without a viable Android competitor in the tablet space, all of those analysts are going to have to start revising their market share charts soon.
Hi, I just bought an iPad 2 and am having trouble installing the latest version of iOS. Also, I'm having a 3G connection issue with the Verizon network and I think there may be some light bleed on the LCD panel. Can you help me?

And is it just me or is it slower?
Yeah is yours slow when you are in the 3rd view tith all the albums on the top? The Music seems to be moving fine, but the top with the album art looks like it takes a bit to load. Is this what you are talking about?

I have an almost 9 month old boy. He was using the iPad to play games by 6 months of age. The iPad *IS* one of his favorite toys and with it's education and entertainment potential, is certainly a good investment. I need to go because he's about to attack my keyboard. I'll give him the iPad to play with :)
