New iMacs (and iPods)

Posted by Hemos on from the yet-more-technology dept.

Dilaudid writes "According to this story at MacWorld Apple has just announced three new iMac models - all with Bluetooth and AirPort Extreme. More importantly there are new iPods too. Cool." The iMacs got a speed bump up to 1.25GHz, and the iPods were capacity-bumped up to 40GB.

    To this day I still can't forget the comment Taco made when he posted the initial IPod announcement:

    No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame.

    Oh well, I guess opinions change.

    Seriously though, the ipod is great...

    Maan

    I thought you were saying that the new iPods had BlueTooth and Airport Extreme support, heh.

    Now, that would rock. Apple, are you listening?

    Wow, I'll bet Steve Jobs is reading your Slashdot post right now thinking "wireless! Damn, why didn't I think of that!".

    ...to help me at my freelance gig where I copy a 17 Meg file from one folder on the hard drive to another folder.

    I have experience in copying files of all sizes and can provide references! What's the pay-scale?

    Color LCDs use significantly more power than monochrome ones.

    Perhaps, just for you, they will come out with a color plasma screen version. With a thick cord that tethers it to the big 70 pound lead-acid battery that you wheel around in a cart.

    Mercy!
