I thought PPC's could be built by anyone - the key seems to be power usage, and size???? Maybe Intel can build something that can compete with IBM and MOT and better integrate with its other chip sets.
When I try to sync Rocket Boom to my color iPod using the latest version of iTunes (3.9) - I get the error that "this iPod model does not support video"...
Why so miopic - How about a subscription service to 12 news sources, International, Local, sports, finance etc. that updates daily/hourly to the phone..., something analogous to a.mac account on iTunes. Text alerts on Steroids.
Everyone is screwing around trying to build digital newsprint, ebooks etc... I love getting my books etc. on CD etc.
Once more... a paradigm shift - text messaging/alerts - obsolete - just like that:)
I used to get the latest and greatest of all the Bluetooth phones and PDA's that were aimed at Mac's (including Palms) - I'm now using a PocketPC phone in conjuction with PocketMac sw (http://www.pocketmac.net/) and the combination is full featured and awsome.... PocketPC will crash every once in a while - but surely this is a given with anything by MS - a reset fixes the problems...
The depth and breadth of integration is phenomenal - including photos from iphoto, MP3's, tasks, calendars.... etc. etc..
It would be sooo cool if McDonald's would actually distribute a CD with iTunes (Mac/PC), kiddie games, maybe some quicktime stuff from Pixar... maybe a promo video of Macs/OSX/iSight trailers etc. and embeded in the cd would be the cert. for the free tune... AND, you could even order an iPod off the CD and get 25 free songs or something... anyway food for thought.

We use tons of firewires in our office - and I have been seeing a lot of failures on BIG (>200 gig) LaCie drives (mostly) - and these are running on Windows2000, and XP machines. Lost data, mount failures, eratic behaviour. I took one of these drives and hooked it to my PowerBook G4 and had a kernel panic... this is fully repeatable.

Maybe Apple should deviate from its no-clone policy and just this once clone a "Mr. Jobs" taffy
