I find it very strange why Apple changes its name. Like it moves its main business (computers) to something else and I dislike it kinda. The Mac always has been Apple's headproduct and now they're shifting to the iPod/iPhone?

And it's MacWorld, what does Apple tv and iPhone have to do with Mac? Just call it AppleWorld or something then.

Someone here said that because rumours were so wide about this MacWorld that a lot of people are a bit disappointed. The rumours were mostly about the iPhone and Apple tv. Apple lived up to that. But nothing on Leopard or iLife or iWork?! That's why people are disappointed. I begin to fear we won't be seeing Leopard any time soon, maybe by the end of the year...

exactly . . people don't seem to realise this is iphone gen 1, iPhone will be redesigned with many updates over the next few years with "improvements". . expect the iphone nano, iphone for cdma networks, and . . . iphone shuffle (calls your contacts randomly :p )

I also wonder when apple will release a new Ipod with everything minus the phone stuff, and a large 100gig hd.

I was also hoping for leopard, and updated macbook pro's with better gfx and santarosa motherboards

Whats this....

How are they going to leave out all the "early adaopters". How dare they do such a thing. How can they update a product that i just payed $600 for only a year after they released it. I cant belive this, they are screwing all of us who bought it by updating it with better features. If they had an S in their name i would totally put a "$" at every chance i could get. I would feel sooo great just sticking it to them like that. Screw you apple im never going to buy another one of your products, how dare you update.

Some of the features are cool on this device, but only Cingular would hurt Apple. I would not pay $500 for such device. In addition, multi-touch is not the original idea from Apple.

Apple might have created something that is cool, but not a must have. Limiting the product to Cingular and the price would not favor this product. I am not switching from Verizon until someone else has better coverage.

Now, to AppleTV. I like the product. It has potential, but it is limited to itunes video format. I don't buy any thing from services that has DRM product. I would like to see AppleTV be able to play majority of the video format especially Xvid and Divx.

Yea, I saw that a little while back. Still, I believe it was rumored that Apple was going to integrate this in a product shortly after that demo was shown.

I don't think you can buy HD content form itunes yet.

Well there goes any excitement I had for this product, down the drain. I'll be interested when they at least provide content for the widescreen tvs that they "require" to use this product.

Until then I'll keep my eye on IPTV on the Xbox 360 since I already have one. Save me some money.

Where do you get the idea that a widescreen TV is required? All it requires is a TV with HDMI or component video. My current TV (which is not HDTV or widescreen) has component inputs, so I could use the AppleTV with it.

edit: nevermind, I just read the tech specs, and it does require a widescreen TV. That kinda sucks. Oh well.

the phone sure looks nice. it will be nice if in the future they have a whole product line... that includes some phones that are cheaper with less features... a smaller form factor version would be nice too... one that is just as sleek but not so tall and wide you know. anyway - it will be interesting to see where they go with this. i just bought a phone and started a new Cingular account last week. so in two years when its time to upgrade my phone - it would be nice to have a few from apple to choose from...

I've had a Cingular account for many years now, and my next upgrade is due this coming September (will be glad to finally get rid of this Samsung phone that I've had for over a year now). I'm starting saving up for the iPhone now, since it will be out (and maybe have a small price reduction) by the time I'm eligible for my upgrade!

iTMS videos are now 640x480, same vertical resolution as a DVD

Hmm so would the content then be stretched to fit the widescreen format? Or would there be black bars automatically put in the sides? Something about this product and the lack of HD content available just doesn't sit right with me.

I want an ipod like that, but with out the phone, with at lease a 80GB storage.... may be even 100GB

Think of the iPhone like a iPod Nano. It has just enough storage for the average consumer's entire music collection. I think they did it this way so they can keep it as flash memory so people dont have to worry as much about a hard drive's sensitivity in their phones.

    • Microsoft releases PowerToys v0.100.1, fixes a bug that made remapped keys misbehave

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Microsoft releases PowerToys v0.100.1, fixes a bug that made remapped keys misbehave by Ivan Jenic Microsoft just released PowerToys v0.100.1, a patch update that addresses several stability and behavior issues found in v0.100.0. The v0.100.0 patch was a significant update for PowerToys, as it introduced all sorts of new features and additions, such as a rebuilt Shortcut Guide, a Command Palette Extension Gallery, webcam overlay support in ZoomIt, and more. However, the v0.100.0 version also introduced some bugs and stability issues. And now, Microsoft is addressing these issues in the new patch. The most impactful fix in this release perhaps is in Keyboard Manager, where remapped modifier keys were being delivered as system-key events, causing unexpected behavior in apps. The clearest example of this was Alt-to-Backspace remaps, deleting whole words instead of a single character. So, if you thought there was an issue with your keyboard, Microsoft just confirmed that it was PowerToys. Beyond the Keyboard Manager fix, v0.100.1 also addresses several other issues. It fixes a bug with Power Display that was preventing monitors from waking from standby correctly. Additionally, the new update patches Quick Access crashes on launch, and resolves a Shortcut Guide crash that occurred when switching between sidebar sections. Here’s the full changelog: Color Picker Fixed a bug where the main Color Picker window could appear inside the zoomed-in picker view Command Palette Fixed Run history initialization in AOT builds Fixed a bug where the Performance Monitor dock item could show ??? after restart Fixed the Hibernate command using the Sleep icon Limited the "pin to dock" dialog to displays where the dock is enabled Keyboard Manager Fixed modifier keys remapped to non-modifier keys being delivered as system-key events, which caused unexpected behavior in apps such as Alt-to-Backspace deleting whole words Power Display Fixed a bug where selecting On in the monitor power-state control did not wake a monitor from standby Fixed built-in display detection and brightness control on dual-GPU laptops where the internal panel is driven by the discrete GPU PowerToys Run Fixed VS Code Workspaces discovery after VS Code moved recently opened workspace data to shared storage Quick Access Fixed Quick Access flyout crashes caused by unhandled XAML exceptions during launch or page navigation Shortcut Guide Fixed a crash when navigating between Shortcut Guide sidebar sections Fixed number-key rendering in shortcut manifests and added a Postman shortcut manifest Updated bundled shortcut manifests to use the literal number-key token so number keys render correctly across apps ZoomIt Fixed a race condition in audio initialization for ZoomIt video recording You can download PowerToys v0.100.1 from the official GitHub releases page.

    • Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last week, Rockstar revealed Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will be starting soon, and just a day ahead of that, now the studio has announced the official pricing for the highly anticipated game. This has been a hotly debated topic among fans and industry veterans for a long time, considering the game is expected to be the biggest entertainment product launch ever. The confirmed pricing for the Grand Theft Auto VI standard edition is $79.99, which Rockstar says gives access to the "single-player experience set in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the series yet." This follows what most of our readers thought would happen with the pricing too. At the same time, a $99.99 Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition has been confirmed as well, which lands with "an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Pre-ordering will also give fans extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. Head to the official website of the game here to check out all the cosmetic rewards the Ultimate Edition and pre-orders bring. Interestingly, the studio does not mention Grand Theft Auto VI multiplayer at all in today's announcement. Perhaps this will arrive later, following the campaign launch, or the studio is keeping that reveal for a later date. Digital pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will begin on June 25, 2026, at midnight local time across regions for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. The title is slated to launch on November 19 on those same platforms. Pre-loading for Grand Theft Auto VI will kick off on November 12, giving players a week to get the game ready on their consoles. As for the physical edition, Take-Two has confirmed that this will be available without a disc, with the box only containing a download code inside. This will be purchasable starting November 12, giving players who take this route time to pre-load the title as well.
