What if the iPad wasn’t really the new cool device. Maybe the reason the new Apple laptop release is so overdue (statistically) isn’t because of production ramp-up, but because they’re going to release a Mac with a touchscreen, thus the MacPad 🙂
Month: February 2010
New 17 inch MacBook Pros soon?
With Intel’s new processor announcements slated for the International Solid-State Circuits Conference starting February 7th, it would seem that it’s about time for Apple to release a new top of the line MacBook Pro as the announcements usually seem to coincide (and it also coincides with MacWorldl Expo. The MacBook Pro is 242 days since the last release, somewhat over the average of 200 days.
iPad built to have a camera
The folks over at Mission:Repair have noticed that their repair parts for the iPad have an existing hole in the metal frame that fits pretty much exactly the same camera unit as in the MacBook. The question is if it’ll be in there before the iPads are released, or if they were planning it to be in the next version (using the same frame), in which case will the revelation cannibalise sales of the current version (although many people have already said they’ll wait for version 2 at least anyway)?
