Apple's market share of desktops is pretty small, and smaller in the enterprise, but it's high on laptops, very high on the upper end laptops, very high on smartphones, extremely high on portable music players, extremely high on tablets.
And in any case the question is: does Apple make money?
The answer: Yes.

Well, as I said before, this isn't iphone against consoles, this is iphone against other handhelds. We should be comparing games we'd expect to play on the handheld devices.
Of course console is going to be better. If we are talking about playing at home and not needing portability, of course the console is a better choice than any of the handhelds.
You're comparing apples to oranges here. You may not be interested in handheld gaming, but that is what is relevant to this discussion, not console gaming. The iphone and other hand helds really aren't competitors to consoles, they serve a different purpose really.
Well then in that light, when it comes to FPS or Platforming gaming, I'll stick to a dedicated handheld with buttons/joy stick. And based on the Engadget story I posted earlier, it seems a lot of other people will too. For a mind numbing good time, I whip out the old iphone for a game of Ball Roll DX

And by "sell it right away," he means send it to me. This Sawtooth tower I just picked up could sure use it!
If you send it overnight I can have it by Christmas!

So, the next iPhone will be the iPhone 4G with, well, 4g? That would make sense.

Is there going to be another iPod updater that will incorporate the features like the searching and fast scrolling letter label thing onto current 5G iPods? I hope so, that searching has been a feature calling from me for ages...:)
i hope so also

Hi guys... :)
I got my new eMac in the mail today and love everything... except one thing. ;)
When I am listening to my mp3s, or doing anything to play sound, I am experiencing something that seems odd...
And that is, I have to have the volume on my eMac turned up to about the 6th or 7th level to hear any sound at a good volume. Weird???
I just upgraded from a Graphite iMac G3/600, and I could play music fine, with great sound volume, on the first sound level. The 8th sound level on my iMac would be very LOUD, but this new eMac has to be on the 8th level to get just normal good sound out. Is this NORMAL??
Has anyone else experienced this or heard of it happening? Do you have any idea how to change it so I can get some sound coming out on the 1st or 2nd level? Shouldn't it make SOME sound on level 1 and 2? Please help :) Thanks!

A lot of the time stories are given negative ratings for absolute no reason and the ratings don't serve their purpose very well. I personally think either the ratings system should be removed all together or there should only be a "like"/"positive" option.
This has been brought up before and it hasn't happened yet. Positive/Negative ratings are highly subjective. For example, "Microsoft to Relaunch Windows Slates Again at CES." Some people might vote negative because they don't support any company besides Apple. Some others might vote positive because competition is a major incentive for companies to keep delivering.
So, just because you don't understand individual motivation for voting one way or another doesn't mean there is "absolutely no reason." I agree that the interpretation is ambiguous and I'm not sure what the rating system achieves, though.
Oh, and thumbs down on the "like"/"positive" option. It's the same thing as the current system, and if you don't have a "negative" option that's just weak to begin with.

i'm not sure if this has been covered already, but...
other companies being able to sell DRM'd content for use with the ipod = good for apple (sells more hardware).
other companies being able to use apple's DRM'd content on their devices = bad for apple (sells more software/content).
as always, apple makes money from hardware sales, not software. the at cost/loss leading software is there to lure people to the high margin hardware. this simple point often escapes people and leads to wild and inaccurate speculation.

4.3 have my ipod4 screen flashing and it drain the battery fast from what i heard on iClarified?
Oh, so when you say it has bugs, you're simply repeating what you hear from others, not actually coming up with any sort of actual original thought based on personal experience? How very American of you.
LOL. Seriously. I have an iPad 2 ... no flickering or battery draining fast, you're actually the first I've heard of it.
My only "issue" with 4.3 is that it's still an iPad, and I'm getting sick of looking at this thing. I have a Xoom too and LOVE it... need to pick one or the other to go back to the store cause carrying both suck. I have a feeling the iPad is going back because I don't believe anyone's going to have a jailbreak for 4.3 in the next several weeks.

So you cant really touch the front of this thing coz it will do something...... I cant really put it in my pocket, especially if the hold button isnt physical...
There could still be a physical hold button. The drawing only shows the front face, not the top or bottom. Obviously the headphone jack and dock port will be on the top or bottom. What's the point of a hold button if it isn't physical anyway??

Haven't they already done that? :)

Mainstream rap today is pretty pointless already. I mean, you could only make so many different variations of the dance club, jewelery and spinny rims. Even people who are portrayed to be above the norm (ie. Kanye) still have to rap about materialistic things. He's the self proclaimed "Louis Vuitton Don" :rolleyes: . It doesn't get any more ridiculous than that in my humble opinion.
The only rap that I personally listen to today is, as someone stated above, Eric B. and Rakim. The old stuff is where it's at but even that's wearing out on me.
What the heck are you talking about?! Aren't you feeling Mike Jones and 50 Cent?! :p
At the moment I'm really into MF DOOMs stuff, Masta Ace's 'A Long Hot Summer' and 'Disposable Arts', and Common's Be and Resurrection.
I really need to listen to ATCQ more, haven't given Midnight Marauders a spin in a while :(

All those buttons in the side makes it look _a lot_ like an eBook reader.. And in that case - WaaahhHH, I cant afford one!! :(
Those aren't buttons. those are circles showing you where the touch sensitivity is.
I think people are misinterpreting the diagram.
A video iPod with touch-bezel will still look like this:

The screen shots look really cool. Since I have a G5 hooked up to my TV, I think this would work great for what I use it for. Currently I just use a wireless Apple keyboard/mouse in front of the TV, but I want something a little different.

Actually just read another post about 64-bit and 32-bit kernel and wondering if that is the root cause of my issue?
I will try the 32-bit when I get home later.
Incidentally, will I notice much difference between 64-bit and 32-bit?
Will update later :o)

Using GSP and Iphoto only makes sense if the photo's have the GSP location information as part of the photo. So that mean that the Camera taking the picture has a GSP reciever in it, which is great outside, but GPS does not work indoors
Yeah, that, and this would work better for world travellers. Who wants to see a map where every photo points to the same house or area? In many ways it's a pointless feature, but in some cases it will be a lot of fun, such as vacation photos. :)

i think it would be great if apple made it easy for others to make their own storefront within the apple itunes store.
i.e. Indie labels could set up within the online store and use the DRM...
the goal is to provide more content to consumers without destroying the experience.
