What’s happening at Apple? What’s up with iPod? Here are a few items – not necessarily latest, but worth noting!
- IE on the Mac is dead. Microsoft will not port IE7 to Mac. They suggest using Safari instead.
- Mac-Intel’s – Macintosh computers using Intel processors – may debut very soon. A lot of announcements and demonstrations may happen at the upcoming MacWorld expo.
- iPod generation 5 is here! It’s slimmer, available in black and white colors, plays video and is cost effective. But may be the scroll wheel quality has gone cheap!
- There are big plans to release products around the iPod line. An iPod Boombox is coming.
- The iPod clones keep coming! Bottom parts of many things are more interesting then the tops; thinking this, somebody came up with an mp3 player that’s the bottom of an iPod!
- You can now even get iPod underwear! The iBoxers come in trendy colors and a pocket to keep your iPod!
- Apple is expecting major growth in computer shipments in the next quarter! The iPod halo effect is helping them.
- Belkin said more and more people are buying accessories with their iPods now. In the early days, only one person in a 15 would buy an iPod accessory. Now almost everyone does.
- For the people who didn’t know this, Apple has been keeping a port for Intel processors for its major softwares (including OS) for about five years now. Every version was ported to x86 architecture.
Check out hak5.org… it had videos to install osX on intel machines… pirated ofcourse. There are people out there who are running OsX on intel machines for a few years now.
