New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

one LESS thing

so the new iTunes totally is not making it through their QA process so they're going to shuffle it under the rug for another few weeks, is what I'm hearing

... are they completely removing the list view from iTunes???????????

srs i will be so pissed

nothing will kill the paper kindles, but i think anyone who gets a kindle fire this xmas is gonna be wicked disappointed

Kudos to zynga for laying off 100 people during the apple announcement. cool idea.

as slocki linked to, i see.

live tiles on windows phone are cool, but also kinda necessarily too big and generic looking, and icons are meaningful in their own way too, theres a balance between wanting to give people a feed of infos and letting them deal w/the program they want, not really sure what the best solution is

Yeah agree.

zynga all time classiest company

oh yeah, not completely sold on the Windows 8-style notifications and tiles everywhere, gotta be a better way

have they said how much the 13" mbp retina will weigh? would like to replace my current one but only if it's close to mba weight.

feel like live titles are def a piece of the future but theyre also maybe too radical idk

guys I really want an iPad mini :-/

u can have one just give appl 320 $

live tiles too cluttery, which tile do I look at?!?

the social media tile duh

is someone working on an ilx tile yet?

stet can u give it a look should only take 5mins

wait i totally missed the 13" retina MBP omg want

how many blood sausages sterling for these mini winis

269£

I ... Don't know. Is that too much? Nexus was £100 less.

Toby: yeah, very light: 1/2lb heavier than Air

surprised they didnt put it at $299, maybe theres just no margin there

im guessing no, cuz apple never does the lose-money-for-market-share thing

ya, guess theyll bring the price down on the original once they introduce the 2nd gen

I just wishing the older ipod touch would go lower :(

ipad mini not thin enough

its so weird that there still arent any android itouch type devices, allows apple to jack the price up

Sounds good. Suspect I'll be getting one of those, then.

it's prob not worth the cost to produce them... if phones go for like $800 unsubsidized and these things are basically phones without the radio... selling them for $200-$300 has gotta be rough

if they can sell an ipad mini for 320 i think they can go lower than 3 for an itouch, iphones fwiw are highly profitable

xp Samsung Galaxy Player line a somewhat credible iPod touch alternative

credible... at getting your kid mad at u on xmas

so can anyone confirm that the ipad mini is in fact smaller

we're going to have to wait for the reviews

So they downgraded the resolution from "the new ipad" to this? Back to the ipad 2 res? Weird choice.

damn

well they downgraded the pixel count to ipad2 levels not the resolution, to keep the cost down id imagine

Oh so it's the same res per inch as the 3? Okay.

it's actually the same screen as the ipad 3 but with the same pixel counts as the ipad 1 giving the same ppi as the ipad 2 but not quite putting it in the same category as the ipad 4

its in between is my understanding

does ipad mini have flush headphone jack

I'm not an Apple fanboy but I have to hand it to Tim Cook - this is the first keynote he's given where he really approached "reality distortion field" charisma - making the new products seem way ahead of the competition (at least if you don't analyze it too closely). With all of the pre-announcement focus on the iPad mini (and to a lesser extent the 13" RMBP), hardly anyone was anticipating the iPad 4 this early (except maybe to switch over to the lighting connector) but not with so many upgrades, or the super-slim iMac.

Retina display on iPad mini would have been nice but would have driven price and size up unacceptably and battery life down (and besides, they need something to make Mini buyers upgrade to the Mini 2 next year), but the smaller screen vs. iPad 2 should make pixels less visible. Also, I like the iPod touch 5 but it seems even more overpriced now. Surprised it's sold so well.

the iMac has been due for a redesign, so i'm happy to see it finally get one. I got mine in early '08, a little more than a year after the aluminum ones debuted, I think, and they haven't substantially changed until now. i'm sure they'll have a retina display iMac at some point, but a 27' version would probably be ungodly expensive (not to mention the video hardware needed to push it). good chance i'll pick one up early next year.

iPod touch will always feel like a modest option to the iPhone, since there's no data plan or forced contract... arguably you just don't need a smartphone if you're carrying it around with you in a city with plenty of WiFi

right so I assume devs will suddenly stop optimising their laggy apps for the a5x ipad because now there's a new one and they don't have to

brilliant
