I know. But I have to admit the iPad is very expensive. I'd kill for one though. My mate won one in a raffle. I hated him for that. I was like omfg you don't even like Apple!! And he already had an iPhone 4.

He constantly calls Apple crap too. :bawling:

I agree about the expense, but it's worth it if you don't have a laptop. That said, I wouldn't buy a Wi-Fi only model - you get so much more use out of it with 3G.

No.

Apple's OS X operating system is far superior to Windows in thousands of ways. Its designed to just work and it really does. Windows pales in comparison to it. OS X is so much better. I could never ever go back to ****crosoft Windows. :bored:

Bill > Steve

Bill don't work at Microsoft no more.

[Niall]

Also, Apple are hardly dull. They innovate in far more ways than Microsoft have only started bothering to. they revolutionised the phone with the iPhone & App Store (deny it as much as you like but its true) and they've set a standard for mobile devices in general thats only been matched by a certain few. That goes for the music player as well.

As for computing, Micro****e has already attempted to copy Apple through implementation of fancy graphics layers that are really just half assed pieces of crap along with the idea of 'jump lists' from Windows 7 (thats been present on the Dock for years) and with the icon only taskbar which looks a lot like the OS X Dock. I could go on and on about this. -__-

Anyone who thinks apple is worse than Microsoft is clearly in denial.
The only thing worse is the price but youre paying for quality (except for the occasional explosion)

worse part was my house was packed up today so i have no tv or anything else to do so it was like :bawling:
But I got my ipad so its not too bad. Just my macbook pro though :love:

[Jack_]

I've always liked Apple, used to have an iPod Nano [one of the really old generation ones like Stacey posted], then I got a 1st gen iPod Touch which I loved at the time :love: and now I've had an iPhone 3GS for a year and half which I can honestly say is the best gadget I've ever owned.

But I think I've fallen in love with them now, I watched the WWDC keynote the other day and iOS 5 looks seriously amazing :love: as does OS X Lion actually. I've always wanted an Apple laptop and I seriously think I'm going to consider getting one soon, I'd love a Macbook Air. I want more information on the iPhone 5 though because I'll be buying that too I think. Apple > Microsoft for sure, there is no comparison.

^Those last two posts. :worship:

[Smithy]

does anyone know if they're gonna be releasing a new gen of iPod in september, coz i was gonna get a 32GB 4th gen touch, but then saw they released new ones every september for the past 4 years :suspect:

[Doogle]

I hate that. I got my Touch last January and it was already "old" by September. But I still have my 3rd Gen, don't need a newer one.

I'd wait till September, unless the new design is **** -looks at Nano 6G-

[Smithy]

well thats what im asking are they even releasing a new one in september? :suspect:

wouldn't it have been announced by now?

One will probably be revealed in September as Apple's products are refreshed in a very cyclical nature, the iPod line up is generally refreshed in Autumn so I guess you could expect a new iPod then.

However that isn't to say that Apple will definitely bring out new iPods then. They're unpredictable so just think of it as a guestimate. This (http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/) page is very helpful as it keeps track on when a new Apple product is expected, and if they've just been updated etc.

In his introductory statement during the Q3 earnings call today, Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer disclosed that OS X Lion will be released on the Mac App Store on July 20.

Promotional materials have already begun appearing in a few third-party retailers around the world, and Apple's own retail stores have received hard drives containing OS X Lion so that they can update their own machines.

In other words, it'll appear on the store later on today. I'm guessing we'll see it turn up around 6pm.

Either way I'm excited to get it! :D

As officially announced just yesterday, Apple today has launched OS X Lion, which is now available [App Store] exclusively via the Mac App Store. Priced at $29.99, OS X Lion is Apple's next-generation operating system for the Mac platform. OS X Lion Server [App Store] is also available as a $49.99 add-on to the basic Lion install.


OS X Lion brings a number of new features to the Mac, including an iOS-like application launch screen known as Launchpad, full-screen apps, a new combined interface for Dashboard, Expose, and Spaces known as Mission Control, enhanced Multi-Touch gestures, and improvements to a number of core applications such as Mail.
Some of the amazing features in Lion include: new Multi-Touch® gestures; system-wide support for full screen apps; Mission Control, an innovative view of everything running on your Mac; the Mac App Store, the best place to find and explore great software, built right into the OS; Launchpad, a new home for all your apps; and a completely redesigned Mail app.

“Lion is the best version of OS X yet, and we’re thrilled that users around the world can download it starting today,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. “Lion makes upgrading a Mac easier than ever before; just launch the Mac App Store, buy Lion with your iTunes account, and the download and install process will begin automatically.”

Apple previewed OS X Lion for developers several times over the last nine months, and has been seeding developers with Lion builds since early this year. Apple announced at its Worldwide Developers Conference early last month that Lion would ship sometime during the month of July, and the company seeded the golden master version to developers on July 1st.

Alongside today's launch of OS X Lion, Apple has also released updated MacBook Air models covering both the 11.6-inch and 13.3-inch sizes. As had been previously rumored, the new models are based on Intel's Sandy Bridge platform, sport Thunderbolt connectivity for peripherals, and see the return of backlit keyboards. The new MacBook Airs are offered in the following configurations:

11.6-inch
- 1.6 GHz, 64 GB SSD, 2 GB RAM: $999
- 1.6 GHz, 128 GB SSD, 4 GB RAM: $1199

13.3-inch
- 1.7 GHz, 128 GB SSD, 4 GB RAM: $1299
- 1.7 GHz, 256 GB SSD, 4 GB RAM: $1599

Build-to-order customers can also choose to upgrade to a 1.8 GHz processor and additional solid-state storage.
With up to twice the performance of the previous generation, flash storage for instant-on responsiveness and a compact design so portable you can take it everywhere,* the MacBook Air starts at $999 (US) and is available for order today and in stores tomorrow.

“Portable, affordable and powerful, MacBook Air is the ultimate everyday notebook,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. “MacBook Air features our most advanced technology and is an ideal match for Lion, especially with its new Multi-Touch gestures, full-screen apps, Mission Control and Mac App Store.”

The new MacBook Air models are available for order today and will be available in stores tomorrow. All models ship with OS X Lion preinstalled.

Apple today released an update to its Mac mini line, bringing Intel's Sandy Bridge platform to the diminutive desktop computer along with new support for the Thunderbolt connectivity standard being pushed by Apple and Intel. The new Mac mini lineup consists of two standard stock configurations alongside a "server" model. Notably, all models drop the optical disc in favor of an optional external SuperDrive.

Standard models
- 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5, 500 GB hard drive, 2 GB RAM: $599
- 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5, 500 GB hard drive, 4 GB RAM: $799

Server model
- 2.0 GHz, dual 500 GB hard drives, 4 GB RAM: $999

Additional build-to-order options include an upgrade to 8 GB of RAM, up to 750 GB hard drives, and an external SuperDrive. The high-end standard model and the server model can also be configured with one (standard) or two (server) 256 GB solid-state drives.
The new Mac mini delivers up to twice the processor and graphics performance of the previous generation in the same amazingly compact and efficient aluminum design.* Starting at just $599 (US), the new Mac mini is available for order today and in stores tomorrow.

“Mac mini delivers the speed and expandability that makes it perfect for the desktop, living room or office,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. “With faster processors, more powerful graphics and Thunderbolt in an incredibly compact, aluminum design, the new Mac mini is more versatile than ever.”
All Mac mini models ship with OS X Lion pre-installed.


Alongside the new Mac mini models, Apple also announced a new Apple Thunderbolt Display. Appearing nearly identical to the previous 27-inch LED Cinema Display, the primary upgrade to Apple's sole standalone display offering is Thunderbolt compatibility, enabling the device to be used within daisy-chained configurations of the new high-speed data and display connectivity standard. With the new standard, users can for the first time run two displays off of a single Thunderbolt port on Macs offering enough graphics horsepower to support the pixel load.


The upgrade to Thunderbolt also allows Apple to turn the display into an "ultimate docking station", with the new display now offering a built-in FaceTime HD camera, 2.1 speaker system, three USB ports, one Firewire 800 port, one Gigabit Ethernet port, and a second Thunderbolt port to enable daisy chaining. An integrated MagSafe cable for powering connected notebook computers also continues to be offered.

“The Apple Thunderbolt Display is the ultimate docking station for your Mac notebook,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing.” With just one cable, users can dock with their new display and connect to high performance peripherals, network connections and audio devices.”

Images of the new Thunderbolt-enabled LED Cinema Display leaked on Apple's site late last week, foreshadowing their arrival alongside the Mac minis that do not ship with an included display. The new LED Cinema Display will be available within the next 60 days and is priced at $999.
