Guess Steve was wrong last year when he said they were going to be able to get 10.5 out the door before Vista. :laugh: Not even a word about it today. Something must have gone wrong with it for them to completely overlook it at a conference this large. Crazy!

from engadget...

9:42am - "Well today, we're introducing THREE revolutionary new products. The first one is a widescreen ipod with touch controls" The crowd goes wild. "The second is a revolutinoary new mobile phone."

so there is a new ipod coming...

No. This was 3 products rolled into one. = iPhone.

Web Communications device + iPod Widescreen + Mobile Phone.

Once again, Apple's marketing machine has succeeded in making this Expo to be the next best thing, not that the iPhone isn't cool, because some of the stuff on there is pretty sweet, but c'mon, don't fill us with "30 years was just the beginning" and then show up a glorified PDA.

Steve was also wrong because he said that Apple would be transitioning all their CD computers over to C2D by the end of the year and that hasn't happened. The Mac Mini is still CD.

5 Hours talk time. I don't think that's that bad for a device like that

That's just talk time. I'm a developer and listen to my iPod all day long. What if I'm talking 2 hours out of my 9 hour day at work and listen to music the rest of the time. It isn't going to last all 9 hours.

That's true too. What's going on with Apple? More important things on their minds then the customer all of the sudden. :blink:

My wife's phone can go several days without recharging, which includes a lot of talk time.

But yeah, I misread. 5 hour talk time isn't that bad, but people are going to do A LOT more than talk on this thing, with it being a PDA and such. I don't see 5 hour talk time being achieved with videos, photos, web surfing, chats, etc. being used as well.

Find me that quote. All I remember Steve saying is that all Macs would be Intel by the end of the year, which definitely happened far before the year was over.

    • SpaceX reportedly plans a Starlink mobile service for U.S. consumers

      But we are talking about Elon Musk, no AT&T... I know big companies are evil, but Elon and his companies are in another level which is much more dangerous.
    • New PowerToys update fixes memory leaks and other issues

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      New PowerToys update fixes memory leaks and other issues by Taras Buria Another bug-fixing update is available for PowerToys version 0.100. After releasing version 0.100.1 with a bunch of bug fixes and patches, Microsoft pushed version 0.100.2 to address two important issues with one of Command Palette Dock's features. With PowerToys 0.100.2, Microsoft fixed the performance meter displaying incorrect values and memory leaks, which are particularly unwanted things in the current situation with overpriced PC hardware. Here is the changelog: Reverted a Performance Monitor dock refresh change that forced item refreshes on every metric update Fixed a memory leak in the Performance Monitor dock extension by reusing stable network upload/download band items instead of creating new list items on each refresh For those unfamiliar, Command Palette Dock is a relatively new addition to PowerToys. It is a taskbar-like tool that you can keep on top of the screen to pin various useful widgets, commands, and more. It can display time, weather, your PC's performance metrics, and more. Microsoft introduced the Command Palette Dock in March 2026 in PowerToys 0.98. Microsoft has dedicated documentation for Command Palette Dock, and you can check it out on the official Microsoft Learn website. You can update PowerToys to the latest version by going to Settings > General and clicking "Check for updates." Alternatively, you can download the installer from GitHub using this link. In other news, Microsoft is working on a new window-management utility for PowerToys. Called Alt Window Cycle, it will let you use the Alt + ` shortcut to switch between different windows in a single app. You can learn more about the tool here.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By Asgardi · Posted

      You did take leaf out of Trumps book already and had brexit - only to harm yourself. The same goes with this AI nonsense. The obvious solution for these companies is to move their head office to Brussels. I can see quite much irony there... 🙂

    • Windows 10 quietly gets one more year of support and updates

      By +Eternal Tempest · Posted

      Wonder if they are trying to slow down Linux traction (not saying this is the only factor) in the consumer space. With the most pressure probably being steam deck/box, etc.
