MacWorld 2005
Ok I know it is late, but I just got done watching Steve Jobs' keynote from this years MacWorld. It was just amazing! There are a couple of things that I would like to say...
I want a Mac Mini!!!!!! These things are going to give the Windows PC's a run for their money. Finally Apple has made an affordable computer that anyone can buy, set up, and run with little effort.
1.25GHz PowerPC G4, 256MB DDR333 SDRAM, ATI Radeon 9200 with 32MB DDR video memory, 40GB Ultra ATA hard drive, Combo drive, DVI or VGA video output, $499.
Or 1.42GHz PowerPC G4, 256MB DDR333 SDRAM, ATI Radeon 9200 with 32MB DDR video memory, 80GB Ultra ATA hard drive, Combo drive, DVI or VGA video output, $599.
As I said affordable. But as Steve said they are "BYODKM"; 'Bring your own Display, Keyboard, and Mouse.' But what the hell, I have an extra one or two of each.
Flash based MP3 players are here to stay. Mainly because many double as a storage device to transfer data as well as play songs. Well Apple has one, The iPod Shuffle. I am strongly thinking about getting one of these. It comes in two sizes; 512 mb, holds 120 songs, and is $99, or the 1 GB, holds 240 songs, and is $149. That is a great price for either one. A storage device and Mp3 player in one for $150, WOW!! 12 hours of playback on one charge as well.
Finally I was reading some other blogs and listening to some podcasts from MacWorld and they pointed out some interesting thing...could Sony and Apple be planning something big? One might have started a rumor about one buying the other or maybe a Sony PC running Mac OS X. Could these be true? We will just have to wait and see.
Steve did talk about some new programs that are being rolled out this year, that 2005 will be the year for HD (High Definition), and some other things. The new iLife Suite looks quite impressive too. Go watch the keynote, broadband and Quicktime required, and see for yourself. Warning though, it is 2 hours long so make sure you have time.
Oh and one last thing, I will be keeping my Mac. I have a feeling that Mac's will begin to take over in 2005. That is my prediction. Until next time, click ya later.
