Macworld '06

[FallIntoIt]

Okay. Macworld opened today. And I'm reading every bit of news that comes out about it, but because all the journalists covering it are still there.. well, you know.

But I wonder if any of you have heard (or care about) the rumors of what will be released at Macworld. So far, the speculations seem to agree on:
- A new flash-memory-based iPod, either being a revamped Shuffle or replacing the Shuffle (by the way, the Shuffle was released at Macworld last year, you know).
- Mactels. The iBooks and powerbooks being released using the Intel chips instead of Power PC. Mostly, since they've been confirmed, speculation is on whether they will be announced to be released immediately or within a couple months.
- Intel-based Dualcore processors. This is not something I'm particularly excited about because, well, the Intel dual-core processors blow.
- Anything having to do with Apple working its way into the living room. Perhaps Macmini plugging into the TV. At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), some companies debuted products that will link nano and/or iPod video to the tv using S Video or other cables, so.

Also: Apple's online store is currently down for "updating". Hee!

sorry. i'mobsessed.

Edit: Apple's store is no longer offline, but up and running. New laptop. "Macbook Pro". Cutesies.

Maybe an iPod that doesnt break after 6 days? Hm? That would make me happy.

I'm sure they'll come out with something cooler later in the week.

No. They're not. Would you want Intel. Because oh baby, I can give you Intel.

BUT YOU DON'T WANT IT!

[jaw22]

does that mean they're not updating the ibook?

Don't know. Probably not. From what I read earlier, there was something about there still being a switch from PowerPC to Intel chips in the laptops, but later in the year.. but then I also heard that they're going to be left as they are. So.

The main thing I don't like about the intel chip is that the one thing that made apple what it is, is the fact that only apple has the parts in it's computers.

It does seem a bit blasphemous, doesn't it?

For that reason (and out of habit) I'll hold off on buying any Mactel until I see what people have to say about it. I'm sure there won't be too many complaints on it, other than 'zomg, processor = intel!11oneone' but, you know.

LOL Why does every customer reveiw on the macstore site look like that? That means nothing and just pisses me off! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks so.
