The long-lost pre-keynote thread....
iTunes 4.8 upgrade - why? all it did was give us quicktime video.
um.... Steve also controls Pixar.
um... didn't a post go something about Sony, et al the Hollywood shops liking some techno-breakthru (read as iTunes for Hollywood movies)
(last) um... Macintosh tablet
Steve and Intel are about to drop (it like it's hot) a Mac-tel tablet and unleash Hollywood movies on a oh-hell-no-we're-too-slow-to-market M$ a kick some MAJOR ass with it. It'll run OSX (now) and OSX86 tomorrow. Migration of OSX86 will flow to the rev. b Mini and take the place of the (x)box M$ wants SO DESPERATELY to bring to everybody's living room.
iTablet to movies
as
iPod to music.
Oh yeah, and a full YEAR before the (most-recently-delayed-dates) Longhorn (read 'M$ hopes of staving off Mac and Linux') ever sees the light of (a consumer's) day. By the time it DOES waddle out of the gate, Tiger (and who's NOT betting Leopard isn't out first too?) will have nibbled a fair amount of the scraps from M$ in installed base, and created an iTablet/movie halo to go with iPod.
Love my new 12" PPC iBook. But I can't WAIT to see what this might lead us to!!
