    How big a flop has the iPod photo been so far

    I wish Apple had put iPod photo functionality in a version of the 6GB iPod mini (i.e. larger than the current mini, but smaller than the 20GB iPod). I could easily live with 4 GB of music and use 2 GB for photos. Kap

    Would you say Tiger is recommended for the average Home user?

    Also multi party video/audio chat (iChat AV) is only available in Tiger, which should make a huge difference to the overall experience. Kap

    Apple burns faithful for $1 per iPod

    Convert means, "what plugs into the AC adapter"? i.e. Is there now a USB2.0 port there instead of FW? Kap

    Apple burns faithful for $1 per iPod

    It's all about finding the killer app at the right time. FW was great for digital cameras, but they're a costly item (esp. back when FW came out). What Apple needed was the iPod (i.e. just a couple years earlier), or some other lower cost, popular gadget to make PC users think "why don't we...

    Apple burns faithful for $1 per iPod

    Griffin. Or, if you have a spare FW cable already, you could get a PocketDock Kap

    Apple burns faithful for $1 per iPod

    And it goes round and round ;) . AFAIK the proprietry connector was what allowed Apple to make the iPod compatible with both USB and FW in the first place. Kap

    How big a flop has the iPod photo been so far

    Not a chance in hell. The PSP is just Sony trying to foist yet another storage medium (UMD optical disks) on the world. Kap

    Apple burns faithful for $1 per iPod

    Apple dropped the price of the iPod by more than the cost of the cable. Anyone who wants the FW cable can just get the cable. Kap

    How big a flop has the iPod photo been so far

    As far as I'm aware, there are only few decent alternatives in the market today for what I want in such a device (video player, stores photos, records sound) Archos PMA 400 - a bit too expensive Archos Gmini 400 - battery not removable Epson P-2000 - doesn't record sound via line in iRiver...

    Critical software on new Macs

    OS X comes with it's own built in firewall, if you choose to use it. 2 - 5 exist on the Mac. For 7, use the iPhoto application (I assume you have iLife 05) You probably won't need 2, because you'll use the StuffIt application that comes pre-installed with OS X (or the tar command from the...

    New PowerBook.. Still one button?!? Argg!!

    Interesting thought - can the new trackpad functionality in the Powerbooks be configured to trigger Expose/Dashboard? Now that would be cool. :) Kap

    How big a flop has the iPod photo been so far

    'Fraid not. I've got an iPod shuffle and will be getting a 4G iPod mini (mainly because it's a pain trying to scrub through Audible books on the shuffle and because I want some playlists). i.e. In terms of listening to my music/audiobooks, I'm pretty well covered. So basically, If I got...

    How big a flop has the iPod photo been so far

    I agree, but for the money they're asking I think I'll probably pay a bit extra and get an iRiver PMP140. (I'll soothe my iPod lust with a 4G iPod mini ;) ) Kap

    New iPod minis - not old vs new?

    Just made a mental connection regarding the new iPod minis: I previously thought the choice was between 6G (new stock) and 4G (old stock, being cleared out at lower prices) models. However, I've now realised that the 4G models are also probably new stock (same capacity as the old models, but...

    What exactly does USB connect require?

    Don't care that much about viewing the photos, more about storing them. A 6G iPod mini would be more than sufficient for my needs, but I don't want to get that horrible Belkin thing - I just want to attach a cable between my camera and iPod and press a button. Kap

    New PowerBook.. Still one button?!? Argg!!

    I'd like to see 3 trackpad buttons (one under the trackpad, two on the right hand side), simply to make Expose functionality (and later, Dashboard) quicker to activate. All those UI studies that say "2 mouse buttons are no better than 1" don't take Expose into account (at least as far as I'm...

    What exactly does USB connect require?

    The iPod photo will apparently get USB connect, which I understand will allow it to get pictures directly off of USB cameras. This got me to thinking - what is stopping Apple from adding USB connect across the iPod line? Is there something significantly different in the iPod photo's dock...

    Does the world really need an all-in-one device?

    I don't mind the idea of a clip on, but it should attach so snugly and securely as to be indistinguishable from a phone with a built in camera. Got an mp3 attachment for my Ericsson phone a few years ago and it was a nightmare - stupid thing was always coming out (esp. when I kept the phone in...
