Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Hey. New board.

I've watched video on my PDA. It's kind of awesome, actually, for plane/train trips. The screen held at lap distance is quite as large as, say, a 20" TV across a room. Not huge, but perfectly good enough.

Hey. New board.

The iTunes/Video interface on the new iMac G5s is what actually makes me lust. Along with the shuffle-like remote. Pretty.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'm having iTunes release whiplash -- didn't iTunes 5 just come out a few months ago? (Or 5.5, or some other fairly major upgrade?)

Hey. New board.

Yeah. The built-in iSight is pretty cool too, actually.

Still, though, I'm selling my Powermac G5 tomorrow, and will be laptop-only from then on. I've decided.

Our wings are not tired

Yeah, I was thinking that myself. I don't see this release as really deserving of a full number upgrade.

Video is worth a full number, but the previous release wasn't, imo.

... I will, however, sulk about iPods being offered in black. Yes, I'm shallow.

Well, if they are like the U2 ipods then they are black in front and silver behind.
