  • Yeah, I thought about the Finder becoming too bloated, but current features in the Finder hasn't in my few slowed it down. Basically it just needs to be remixed because the basic functionality for what I'm talking about pretty much already exist.

    Apple's Finder Remixed
  • If I remember correctly, in the announcement of the iPhone G3, I don't remember a spokesman or woman speaking on behalf of AT&T;. If that's true, that may indicate something about their relationship.

    The iPhone Without Carriers
  • Totally agree. I think it's almost a sign of elitism that Apple won't make an affordable computer. With good marketing, the Macmini could easily sell, as well as a $600-$700 notebook.

    What Would You Pay for a Low-End Mac?
  • I think it's correct to say that most people don't want to pay more than $500 for a computer anymore, unless that piece hardware is going to make them money. And that's how it's becoming for me. I don't want to pay more than $500 for a personal notebook. I just don't think they're worth it, whether it's made by Apple or Dell. Apple is charging too much for the average consumer who is not spending that much time making imovies or creating Garageband cuts. Consumers like myself who are interested in doing the latter will buy an expensive Mac Pro or Macbook Pro. But in the days of Web 2.0, I just don't need an expensive personal computer.

    Why you didn't see an $800 MacBook: The Dell Comparison
  • I guess it should be pretty clear by now that Apple sees the iPhone/iPod touch as the portable notebook, and the MacBook as both a notebook and desktop computer. So forget about anything between the MacBook and the iPhone. It's kinda weird that Apple would limit itself like that.

    The $399 MacBook Mini
  • Well, again today we get another variation of the MacBook and the MacBook Pro. Great, but I'm not impressed. I still want a real notebook. Lightweight and affordable.

    The $399 MacBook Mini
  • Totally agree here. Journalist and bloggers who write about Apple products should consistently call for Apple to produce this type of products.

    The $399 MacBook Mini
  • Here's another good article about the Apple notebook idea.

    Apple's iWeb Multimedia Computer?
  • Here's a little mockup Apple notebook that someone designed. http://www.tuaw.com/photos/mactablet-faux-gallery/1043996/ But I think the keyboard should slide out of the computer and back in. The touch screen keyboard is okay, but I'm not sure it's the best way to go.

    Apple's iWeb Multimedia Computer?
  • gametheoryman, your idea sounds even better. It has the top heavy hardware for the investors end and the thin client hardware for everyone else. But you know there's going to be people who will just want the thin client without the iHome. Nevertheless, a super idea. I could really see Apple creating this one.

    Apple's iWeb Multimedia Computer?
  • >"Like the Dell Inspiron Mini 9, but more Apple-ier." Thanks, Maczada, for pointing this out. Yep, it's definitely what I had in mind when I wrote this article. Apple could easily produce something similar the Mini 9, and I think there would be a great niche market for it.

    Apple's iWeb Multimedia Computer?
  • I typically don't get into or care about the Mac-PC wars, but I think the ad makes an almost slam dunk against Mac's campaign. To me it's saying back to Apple that hey it's not just about being cool and sleek, but it's about what we do that's important. Apple should heed this. I think ever since Apple has gotten on the iPod bandwagon, it's kinda marginalized creative work that people do with Apple products. It puts out all these wonderful applications, but it doesn't follow up and help people make connections around what they do with the apps. Great critique, Howard.

    Microsoft Kicks Apple's Wussy PC's Butt
  • According to Steve in keynote, he says that Genius does tap into the music sources of other users. I think that's the reason for the update. Otherwise, I don't think Apple would need to collect the data on the contents of your iTunes library. And I'm not saying you're wrong, but just the theory or selling point that Jobs put out there. And you know how that can be sometimes. A little overstated. Thanks for the feedback.
