$899 iMac — #38
I noticed this thread when it was started, and went to have a look at the local (Finnish) applestore. This seemed perfect for me, as I don't need anything which was left out. I was…

DONGLEDONGLEDONGLE!
I do think that the i4E (as I say it called on so random site lol) would be great for my grandma... my grandma doesn't need graphics, or Bluetooth, a 160 GB dr…

And now Apple just killed the $899 iMac.

They didn't kill it entirely, they just made it for institutional purchase only, not any old education individual. So if you want one for yourself, you've gotta know someone who do…

It makes sense, I mean, all a consumer has to do is log-in the edu-page and viola! $400 price drop. I wouldnt need the bluetooth or the remote so it would be great! Apple saw this …

you could always get a refurb 17" iMac for $200 cheaper... although I really wouldn't trust a refurb laptop, I see no problem with getting a refurbished iMac...

This is a true shame, as our lab was thinking about picking one up. Institutional purchases are nice until you realize that you have to jump through hoops and red tape rather than …

So, M$ in its infinite wisdom and foresight decided they need to do it right themselves because none of the WMP playing devices could compete with the iPod.

This might be something to worry about, if they plan on having on-device song sales and they're building up an end-to-end music store that integrates with it. I agree, though, that…

IF MS does the song exchange that could be considered a monopolistic practice like giving IE away for free back in the day. Using their monopoly in one market to take over another …

M$ is going to lose on this one. Talk about POP UP ads. This thing is going to SUCK.
One is that the device will contain a sensor that picks up advertisements from an "Ad-Node" …

Besides, if anyone had a chance of killing the iPod, don't you think Sony's PSP would have done it? You can play movies, music, and games on one device. Better yet, you can put y…

Are they only going to offer a rental service? That does of course suck. No serious match for Apple's ownership scheme.
Side thought: Although, in principle, since Apple can chang…

I'm pretty sure the speculation is that it'll be a pay-based store--otherwise the whole free downloading of purchased iTunes tracks scheme wouldn't make any sense.

The only way that M$ can kill the iPod is if they give the M$ version away for $10 each. Bill Gates is willing to start giving away his fortune earlier that we expected.
