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.

    Will they be releasing information on the new and incredibly cool 23 inch 1920 by 1200 pixel flat screens?

  2. Other Cool Features by jone1941 · · Score: 1, Redundant

    There is one other really cool feature that was left out. The new version of the iPod software now supports address book syncing with Microsoft Entourage (read outlook for Mac OS) as well as OS X's built in address book.

    The information on it can be found here.

  3. When will they support non-Mac? by sheldon · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I'm curious why they do not support other systems besides the Macintosh with the iPod.

    Perhaps Microsoft should sue Apple over this issue. :)

  4. 23" Cinema Display is not the largest available... by quadgie · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Actually, Sun's had a 24.1" LCD out for a while now with the 1900x1200 resolution that the new 23" Apple LCD features.
