New iBooks and Apple Store

Vokbain writes "Apple just released new 800 and 900 MHz iBooks, and unveiled a redesigned Apple Store as well." Looks kinda cluttered to me.

I think I speak for a lot of Apple fans when I say "YEEESSSS!!! This rocks!!! It's absolutely brilliant!! Steve Jobs, you're my hero!!! This just shows Apple's ability to reinvent the computer industry in a way that Microsoft can only dream of!! HAHAHAHAAAA!!!!"

what's this story about again?

Sorry, next time I won't have an opinion. My bad.

Question

[Znonymous Coward]

What is this thing I am always hearing about with PCs and their "Giga Hertz"? What's that all about? It must not be worth anything if Apple won't put one in their "consumer class" laptops.

Re: MacMall Clutter

[Anonymous Coward]

I agree that MacMall is cluttered. I'm an account manager for them (PCMall & MacMall), and I feel the same way. I don't want to sit and defend the clutter, but it is tough to advertise specials on roughly 150,000 products. Apple has it a bit easier only displaying their products, and a select few others. Again, I agree it's cluttered, I'm just offering my lame explanation.

If anyone here is interested, I can get you at least somewhat of a discount on all of the PC/Mac equipment you're buying anyway. - Me

Re:RAM?

[Chuck Bucket]

No kidding! My Apple //e had 64K, and now these iBooks only have TWICE that? After 20 years they should have made a bigger jump than that. (/me tries to image OS X booting with 128K)

BTW: :)

They designed what?

[gerardrj]

that is quite possibly the worst layout for the store I could imagine. No, no... there's no blinking text or animated icons.

"Let's throw one of every product line on the main screen. Make sure there are at least 30 images so modem users have to wait as long as possible. Use a low contrast color set of light blue text on a light gray background. And oh yea, let's really confuse everyone: instead of showing you the one product you click on, lets just show them all the products in the family in case they spontaneously change thier mind. And just so things are harder to find, be sure the page is at least three "screens tall so people have to do a lot of scrolling to find what they want."
