Apple @ MacWorld Tokyo

Posted by michael on from the wunderchild dept.

rschroeder writes "Apple updated several products at MacWorld Tokyo tonight (or tomorrow morning). A $499 10-gig iPod, with, get this, custom laser engraving on the back, ($49 extra) and vCard support. They also announced a $49 USB bluetooth module, shipping in April, with beta drivers availble today. Among other tricks, Jobs synced a Clie with a mac via bluetooth. Also a new 23" (1920x1200 )Cinema Display. Jobs also said they're raising the price of the iMac due to LCD and RAM cost increases. All this courtesy MacMinute.com's live coverage." Maccentral has several stories about Jobs' keynote at the convention.

    Shuffle: You can now choose between shuffling between songs or between albums. I'm not quite sure what that means.

    Allow me to clarify. Shuffling between songs would take all your songs and play them in random order.

    Shuffling albums would take all your albums and play them in random order. So, Album2, Album4,Alubum3..etc...

    "Which iPod is yours?"

    "It's the one that says 'Bad Mother Fucker'"

    I'd just love to see you fit your Maxtor USB 2.0 HDD in your pocket, myself.

  5. Alan Smithee??? by Nathdot · · Score: 5, Funny

    Traditionally 'Alan Smithee' is the moniker taken on by a movie director when he is so ashamed of his work that he will not be associated with it by name.

    So it's a little worrying to see who they reference (via graphic) as the iPod project manager on the story link.
