oh a powerbook would be perfect like a few people have said in this thread.... I've had a powerbook 700mhz 348 for 3 years now and it runs fine. And still has power. Also i think i…

Half the people at my work use QuickSilver 733s all day long. It's stupid I know, my company is moronic... but don't pretend like it's impossible. It isn't as big of a deal as you …

I do Photoshop, Illustrator and Quark work day in and day out on a 733 Quicksilver tower. It's perfectly fine... the older I get, the longer I hold on to my computers. It's taken…

I'd say G5 all the way. G4s are okay if you don't do anything too intensive, but the prices are almost the same, and the G5 "pwns" the powerbook in every way except portability. …

for bragging rights: got a dual 800 qs and 22" display. Plan to get a powerbook (hopefully 17"!), and some upgrades for my g4 (video card and some ram) soon Slow in photoshop? ye…

I don't think they "missed" it as much as they *passed* on it. There *is* no portable video market to speak of, really - not when compared to music. You can't watch while driving…

The Game Boy Advance Video cartridges have been big sellers. There is a market for portable video players, but I expect that the only devices that will sell at all will be the one…

I'm with Steve Jobs on this one; He says people don't want to watch video on a tiny screen.

let's hope it's not as wildly popular as the media center pc or the tablet pc

I'd like to see an add-on thet would let you use the iPod as a video player. No screen, but something that would attach to the data port and have rca-out cables so that you could h…

I know of about 14-16 people with Portable DVD players. If that's not the market you want to get to, I don't know what is.
