Imovie for Windows and... new video camera

[mi5moav]

Well, the way that the Apple store(online) has been clearing out all it's mid priced video cameras for the past month one would have to either assume Apple is going out of buisiness, new models are coming in or... Apple has there own video camera lined up and ready to go in the next few days or weeks... and of course along with that iMovie HD for Windows. I think at one point the Apple store had 12 video cameras priced under 999 now they have 4. I just picked up 2 great deals on the HC32 and 42 models both under 250 bucks from the Apple store in the last few days. But the strangest thing is the lack of Sony Products now on the site, i can't even find a single digital camera let alone anymore video camera products.

apparently you haven't been to my Apple Store...

mi5moav, are you sure you aren't John C. Dvorak in disguise?

What the heck are you talking about? I just went on the other day and they had like 20 Sony Products, they wouldn't just take them off. It's probably only a product refresh or something. By Tuesday will know for sure.

Ah, yes, mi5moav, that's certainly a brilliant conclusion right there...

...new models are coming in...

Aren't new models always coming in?

...or... Apple has there own video camera lined up and ready to go in the next few days or weeks...

Yeah, sure.

...and of course along with that iMovie HD for Windows.

Uh huh... and your basis for this conclusion is... what?

I'm already running iMovie for WIndows. I'm an official Apple Beta Tester.

btw, the code-name for iMovie for Windows is Flying Pigs. I have no idea why, though.

Ah... I see. Still, those are some pretty far-fetched ideas about why Apple doesn't stock as many video cameras. Why would the lack of video cameras say anything about iMovie for Windows?

[mi5moav]

The new Apple video camera is going to have a pretty good CCD however all the bells and whistles like sepia, zoom and all that jazz is going to be on imovie. I rarely use any of that on the camera when I have imovie. So, we are going to have a great HD based 1 million pixel CCD in a nicely designed video camera from Apple, and you need the software on both platforms to sell the camera. Just like free itunes sells ipods free imovie for Windows that only works with the video camera will sell this thing.

Imovie huh? You sure it's not iMovie?


And mi5moav if I remember correctly, you've been known to say some preeeeetty random stuff before...
