According to current coverage of today’s Stevenote, iPhoto has added movie support. About freakin’ time!
iChat will have the expected conferencing features: up 10 audio participants and up to 4 video participants. Given how often my family uses iChat video, this is likely to sell some more iSights.
I’ll probably update this after getting some work done.
“Mac Mini” rumors confirmed (quoting from MDN as they are clearly experiencing server issues):
– “Mac mini” height is about half the size of an iPod mini. Ships January 22 in a smaller box than the regular iPod box.– “Mac mini” better model: UIS$599 with 1.42GHz G4, 80GB drive, combo drive…
– “Mac mini”base model: 1.25GHz G4, 256MB RAM, 40 GB hard drive.
– “Mac mini” will retail for US$499. Jobs, “Priced so that people wanting to Switch have no more excuses.”
– “Mac mini” comes without a keyboard or mouse and uses any industry standard display. FireWire, Ethernet, Modem, and USB. Comes with Panther and iLife ’05.
– The “Mac mini” fits in the palm of your hand and looks like a 3″ tall CD drive. A short cube featuring DVI and VGA connections.
– The Headless Mac is now known as the “Mac mini.”
– “Mac mini” announced. (1:33 PM EST)
It’s the return of the cube! That sounds great! Can you say “media server / internet services box”?
Apropos of nothing, I was just thinking about the Cube and how an improved (where would it be now?) version would be cool.
The mini is a better idea I think (2.9 lbs?), but I’d like to see it with two ethernet ports (if they’re there, I haven’t see a mention of them). But on other hand, it seems too nice a box to be a pure server, racked up in some closet.
The Mac mini can also output to an HDTV via the DVI interface. Can you say Media Center?
As a long-time admirer of the Cube (and exceedingly indifferent about nearly every other Apple product), my heart swelled when I saw this image. Sadly, it was yet another in an interminable series of fakes.
