Last quarter Apple grew inline with the entire PC industry, they are making headway, but it is slow. However, they are just 1 mac company vs countless PC makers... collectively, who would you think would be selling more and more of each year?
Tell me about the alternatives, i thought BT was the only realistic option?
It was interesting to note...

...that IBM had an idea which incorporated bluetooth headphones, makes me wonder why Apple didn't do it, and that was in 2001! But don't get on at me for how it would effect the ipod's battery life, the ipod *could* be a little bigger to take a bigger battery and then we could all be happy.
For starts you could sync small amounts of information with the iPod, contacts, address and such and plus it could drive bluetooth into more homes because it rides on the back of a more successful product. I already understand it doesn't have the bandwidth to transfer the mp3's fast enough, and its only the small information I would want it to transfer
A better battery might be nice.
Its also nice they havn't added colour or appeared to make it into some video ipod. The market is still young and the waters need testing more, glad to see Apple have kept things simple and as they alreayd are
I'll be buying one as well if what i hope for holds true.
I dabble in chess myself and this is why i find it so strange. Big deal, game of chess, then again there must be some REAL reason why the US wants him. In any case, you got any links for his games? What was so good about him?
That article certainly holds a small amount of bias, i liked the line where Japan should claim "trillions" off the US for war repayments. As if they could or would.
Why does this mean so much?

Anybody with some knowledge care to inform the few of us who are clueless as to what he did other than play a game of...chess.
How else do you get bad moderators attentions? I'm sick of being moderated unfairly for stupid or illegit reasons, reporting this doesn't help. My own way of provoking a reaction, which i got.
One tool I know that can enhance the creative process is a good art teacher. I have one, before, I never had an interest in Art, Graphic Design, Illustration, Photography or Art History. I was doing computer courses. Never did art at school and I wasn't very creative.
Now I am and one of the better ones in my class, I have more ambition with this line of line, much more than computing, plus i'm more eager and generally enjoy doing things in the various fields of art and I was taught. Which anybody can be really if there is effort applied.
(And i'm AM joking here mods)
He didn't include macs, where all the creativity and learning IS happening!
More seriously, this could be the effect of having a monopoly or a large single entity controlling how progress is made. I remember in the 80's there was fun times ahead and there seemed allot of things happening. Today its just sterile on the pc side. Cost doesn't allow much indulgence for some of the things he suggested. However I am reminded of that application that was previewed at WWDC, the one with the positions of all the satellites orbiting earth. That was fun as was the CoreImage and CoreVideo presentations. Nothing fun I've seen on the windows PC side, the innovation is elsewhere, in Linux, Apple or the Java 2 Desktop.
Lets not forget, people who download the music from itunes have signed a license agreement, until it gets contested in court it still stands. It bring me back to my first post however. You get more rights than with a traditional cd. You can share the song between 5 computers, dump it on an iPod and burn it to cd. What more do you want?

But you could still retain the white ear buds.
I have wondered actually but never looked into it, i just thought something like that wouldn't be ready for most people who bought an ipod.

Oooo, wireless remote would be nice, you can already get such things for digital cameras!
Thats where you pull that odd shiny device back out of the box and connect it between the ipod and the headphones, the remote.
Who says the interface would allow you to do this other than turn it on or off. It could do it automatically just like it does with firewire.
Why are they overpriced, state the reason rather than just say it? I would like to know why.
I agree with another statement as well, saying the design has gone back to its roots.

Will they want to extend it again, and then again and so forth?

The chairman or president of IBM said (in around 1955): "I only see a market for maybe 5 computers", Bill Gates never said it.

Why? There is a disclaimer, or is that not good enough either on slashdot anymore?

Doh! But yet I was in another forum and picked up on this trait before. :)
Thankyou, I didn't noticed this, pity the AC who played the grammer nazi who couldn't of just told me. Is it that much of a big deal? Dick.
