No, I haven't quit. It's because of this.
Analysts Report Apple Not Finished Releasing Products
Several analysts today claimed that Apple is not finished releasing products, and that the Cupertino company may have devices in the pipeline for release in the coming months and years.
According to Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster, new products could come as early as this year. “Apple’s iPhone has had a camera since the beginning, which is why I think a touch-based iPod shuffle is in the works.”
Citigroup’s Rich Gardner agrees. “MacBook Pros and iMacs are selling, and I think CPUs, graphics chips, and other stuff inside PCs is still being made, right? I believe Apple might update those products in the future.”
RBC Capital analyst Mike Abramsky is more bullish. “I think Apple may actually introduce something new, like they have countless times over the last decade, though I can’t say why I feel that way.”
Not everyone agrees with these reports, however. AmTech’s Shaw Wu is doubtful. “Apple has invented everything there is to invent. The Magic Trackpad is clearly the end of the line; what could possibly be left? From here on out they just coast.” He also noted that Apple will likely shut down its web site by the end of 2011.
In Apple's footsteps, Microsoft to introduce their own touch mouse.
The mouse is the result of a Microsoft Research program dubbed "Mouse 2.0".
Great name, as in "We need our engineers to 'Mouse 2' Apple's web site and discover the hardware they'll make next."
I guess we'll see an Arc Trackpad in 2011.
FYI, though I joke about Microsoft following Apple, I do own an Arc Mouse and Keyboard and like them both.
AT&T Needs A Map For That
Meanwhile, somewhere in Michigan, an iPhone owner is invited to the AT&T store a mile from my California home.
Microsoft Mobile Still Can't Fit Text To Screen
Some interesting detail from Engadget on early WP7 units. I see Microsoft's still lopping off the "e". You'd think after a year this would be fixed by now.
Now don't get all bent out of shape. Honesty, it seems too early to judge WP7 because it's not ready for prime time—opinions are all over the map. I just thought I'd point this Zune-ism out for some fun.
Not a single tweet and the guy's already on 29 lists (and counting)...
Damn, he's good. :-)
Since I got the iPad, my MacBook thinks it's ignored
As you can see, that's just not true.
Apple Jumps The Gun On My iOS 4Upgrade
The Graphic Mac: Why I won’t upgrade to the latest Creative Suite 5
I cannot justify the $599 price tag for the Design Premium suite upgrade. I realize that every serious and rational designer on the planet charges enough for a single brochure design to nearly pay for the full $1,899 Suite, I choose to low-ball my competition by working day and night on a corporate logo for $100, and only charge roughly $200 for a brochure. How do you expect me to pay for this professional software?
A humorous post to start your Friday. A few commenters didn't get it, but it's funny stuff.
Redwood City bar flooded with lost prototypes as others try to create Apple-like buzz
He tells the story of one Palm engineer, blatantly wearing his Palm ID badge, who kept saying “I hope I remember to take my prototype home!” loudly enough that some actually moved away from his table.
Heh.
