Seconded.

Is 10.5 still on track? I want one of those 2.4 iMacs.

Yep, glad I've gone with the iPod Touch. I got to play with an iPhone over GPRS a few weeks ago and it was a bit of a tortuous experience. I'm still slightly lusty for an iPhone but ever since the iPod Touch came out it's much more appealing to me.

As much as I find the no 3G thing quite funny I do agree. WiFi is much more likely to be something I use, both at home and out and about. There's barely ever a GPRS connection and you can forget 3G in Scotland. WiFi me up and I'm happy to sit on the sofa and touch my touchy. Mmm.

I'll pop for the phone. O2 are ringing me everyday to offer upgrades as it is

Bearing in mind the amount the amount O2 are giving Apple for the privelege of having the iPhone (allegedly 40% of revenue, not just profits!) I doubt very much you'll be seeing reasonably priced upgrades.

Doesn't bother me. I've avoided upgrades for a year so I could jump provider if need be, I've already decided I'm getting the phone

It seems Apple have partially crippled the Touch software, presumably to differentiate the more expensive iPhones:

What possible justification can Apple give to remove a note-taking app, for Christ's sake!

On the other hand, the platform is reasonably open for 3rd party developers to put their own apps on there...

Exactly the same for me (I'll have to jump to O2 though).

God I'm such a "flan"boy

Now do I flog my N95 in 6 weeks to buy an iPhone or keep it and get an iPod touch - decisions, decisions...

Maybe a Mac Pro.

None of those parts in the article are the mobile chips that Apple builds its
desktops with. Apple currently uses the X7900 at 2.8 GHz and 44W TDP,
the lowest power Penryn is a 65W part. Will Apple ever make desktops
with desktop parts?

Has Apple ordered all the high-end 45nm Xeons Intel will make this year?

If true that's going to piss people off even more than the 2.8 GHz Merom
and 3.0 GHz Xeon quad stunts.
