Look at All These Rumors


Mac RumorsOk, ok, I know for my entire life I’ve been the biggest windows nut out there that could be, and to a point I still am. I do run Parallels and fire it up when I need to jump on AllTunes or run command line stuff that I just don’t know on the a mac yet. In either case, I am a convert, but not a member of the cult. I love this ‘lil MacBookPro and am pretty hooked on the apple os these days, but my roots will always be with Billy-boy. ..even tho he’s gone.

One of my favorite and maddening parts of the Apple brand is their secrecy before product launch. As you guys know I’m my own boss again *horray* and of course that means I get to spoil myself with a few new writeoffs for the year. I’ll probably end up picking up a new iMac for val and a new cinema display real soon, but I’ve been waiting for Jan 14th patiently to see what goodies they’re going to announce.

If the rumors are true, I may be spending a pretty penny but hey, at least these machines have resale value right? Check out what the rumor is:

Cinema Displays
• Built in 2 megapixel iSight camera
• Same resolutions
• LED backlighting
• All support 1080HD
• New Prices : 20”: $399; 23”: $599; 30”: $1,249
• On sale at MacWorld, Available at MacWorld

iPhone
• SDK Available at MacWorld
• Developers can sell their signed apps from iTunes starting in March
• New software includes Multimedia messaging, video recording with the camera, and an eBook reader
• iPhone games available from the iTunes store
• 3G iPhone announced (looks similar to the existing model)
• iPhone available in more countries

iTunes & iPod
• iTunes 8 released along with Movie Rentals and eBooks
• Software update for iPod Classics and Touches to support eBooks

Front Row 3.0
• All Leopard compatible Macs will be able to use it
• Support for the iTunes Store
• eBook Reader
• SDK for 3rd Parties to make plugins
• Can be controlled via Apple Remote, iPhone, or iPod Touch
• iCal, Mail, and Safari integration

All I can say is that if they really drop the price on the 30″ cinema to $1250, I’ll probably end up buying one. *shrug* Ok, back to programming. Need to pay off this need of new toys one way or another.
