GRRR, iTunes grabs 700 MB of RAM on my PC as soon as it's opened. It releases it when it's closed, but my machine becomes pretty much useless when iTunes is open.

Has anyone considered that apple might not be realeasing the wide screen super secret video ipod because it dosn't exist?
lets all think for a second...
1) touch screens are weak, soft, and matte, not iPod at all
2) they get printy and scratched very easily
3) they would go through oodles of batter power
4) Apple would not make the thing bigger just to hold the extra battery
5) battery life would STINK
6) touch screen starts to complicate the interface, goes against apple's easy as pie rule
7) the thing would have to cost a fortune
I have to disagree with 1, 2 and 6.
The screen on my palm (2 years old) is bright, clear and saturated. Gloss finish. Has no scratches yet I "write" on it and DO NOT use a screen protector or a case for it.
As to the interface, we've seen suggestions in the forums here that when touched, the interface that appears could look and act just like the current controls on the iPods.

Wow.
Wow.
iTunes 7 fixes all of the idiotic interface inconsistencies and missing functionality.
Great additions to the interface. Good balance of usability and fun.
This is a fantastic update. One of the best application updates Apple has done in a long time.
Very clean overall.
Great job Apple. Simply great.

Skunk, all that you have presented above is one interpretation based on things we know about the history of the Canaanite people. This proposition posits that the history the Bible describes is not factually based, but a reinterpretation.What I have presented above are acknowledged facts and clear inferences which are drawn from the text of the Old Testament itself. Each one of those at the very least brings into question how the religious beliefs of the Hebrews as a whole differed from those of their polytheistic contemporaries, especially in the period before 580BCE. Abraham may have made a covenant, but it was not with Jehovah, it was with El. It says so in the bible. So much of the mythology, Noah/Utnapishtim, etc., is taken directly from other sources that it really beggars belief to treat the story of the Hebrew god(s) as anything other than a continuation of previous beliefs and story-cycles.

If apple does this right, it would be awesome. A screen similar to the sony ereader for reading and widescreen for movies.Yeah this would be a killer application and open up a whole new world of remote reading. Imagine having a whole ton of books including illustrations and graphics in that little iPod Video. Wow. :eek: :cool:

I am very impressed with Apple on this one.
The only things that bugs me (probably because I bought a Mac Pro) is that the iMacs come standard with 1GB and a comparable card.
I didn't even notice the 1GB standard RAM until you mentioned it... I hope this ushers in a change for the other pro models...
Perhaps Mac Pros don't come standard with 1GB RAM because they are supposed to be super configurable, and Apple assumes more RAM will be added anyway?

If you run a business, like I do, then you would actually appreciate what they've done. To hire a new designer involves having enough work in the first place, which costs money. You then need to pay recruitment fees (anything from �500 - �5k depending who you use), buy them a new Mac (around �1500+ for a decent iMac), load it with software (around �2k) and then hope the candidate is as good as they interviewed. You're taking all of the risk and hoping that the work continues regularly enough to cover their salary and all of the expenses you just paid out on, when in SMEs it can vanish as quickly as it arrived. So after spending maybe as much as �8k before the member of staff has even started and you've bought their software, to be able to pay �85/m for the software instead of �1700 in one hit is a much needed relief.
If this scheme, and I mean scheme, works for you then great. However, I suspect that the ridiculous and endless upgrade price hikes are causing some folks to skip some of the upgrades if they do not feel the marginal improvements are worth the cost. And... this is their way to squeeze those folks on a more regular basis.
I am not advocating gimp, pixelimator, corel whatever... but perhaps in most instances the upgrades are not essential. I think Adobe has grown to be a repulsive example of some of the worst business practices, whereas they used to be thought of in much kinder terms.
To cite one example, Apple on the other hand has steadily reduced the cost of Aperture over the years, much in keeping with their usual trend of reducing cost, and increasing performance. I use Photoshop less and less these days, still mostly only for sizing, CMYK conversion, anything with layers or compositing, and stuff with type (which comprises probably around 10% of my workflow, and that is a high number). Aperture combined with Nikon's NIK suite introduced dramatic workflow changes, whereas photoshop has become a bloated beast, besotted with feature creep (surrounded by a few worthwhile improvements in each version).
Adobe also has moved to a Microsoft style breakdown of suite packages, and the packages seem to keep changing (how convenient and beneficial for them).
When Lion comes out it will probably take another 5-6 months for Adobe to release a stable and compatible version.
I never advocate piracy, but this just encourages some folks to do it. Meanwhile they are rolling in profits. Disgusting. Overreaching. Greed.
About sums it up for me...

I'm not trying to pee in Apple's Cheerios at all...but i do wonder at what point will they reach a plateau in sales growth.
Valid question. As your next statement points out, Apple is making inroads to China. They also shook up their management overseeing Japan a few years ago, and I believe that, along with the iOS halo effect, they are enjoying great growth there, too. Just look at the lines at Japanese store events.

Does anyone know what the formatted capacities are of each (2 gig, 4 gig, 8 gig)As with all capacities you need to take into account that computers (and RAM manufacturers) calculates size in binary 2^10 = 1024 for thousand, while HD and Flash memory manufacturers calculate in decimal where 1000 = 1000.
For drives measured in GB this mean you need to multiply the drives size with ~0.93 to get the size your computer will calculate it to:
2 GB ≈ 1.86 GB
4 GB ≈ 3.72 GB
8 GB ≈ 7.44 GB
So, yes in a way you are right, on the 8 GB nano about 550 MB will be "missing".
This has very little to do with formatting (this was an issue back when drives were just a couple of MB, then the formatting table and such actually took up a fair portion of the disk).
This isn't exactly news. :rolleyes:

I highly doubt 4.4 will be a CMDA only version. If you think about it, the 4.3.1 update hits currently i'm guessing around 90% of iPhone 4. So obviously there is more rush to get 90% of iPhone 4s updated compared to 5%.
I would think Apple prefer to keep their GSM model supported more. Because of the hugely larger user base.

Augh, I was hoping they would redesign the G5 case. Its been 3 years!! Cmon apple, stop milking old designs. I think this is the first time that Apple hasnt changed the look of the case when going to a new processor (theyve even changed cases when NOT changing processors...)
