Nice insight... your sources?

Just my general awesomeness. ;)

I obviously have no sources. But I do think there are a few definitive patterns Apple follows. One of them is this - don't cannibalize sales or media attention by rolling out multiple new/big items at the same time; rather, allow for a couple of months at a minimum between a new iPhone and a new iPod line, or between a new iPad and a big refresh of Macs. Another pattern is that when they roll out a very new product (such as the iPhone 1, or Apple TV, etc.), make it fairly bare bones so that people can get used to it, so that it can begin an easy integration into your life, your home, and so on.

So why do I mention that? Because we all know (at least with 93% certainty) that the North Carolina data center is Apple's entry into some form of cloud computing. We also know that Amazon just threw the gauntlet down by unveiling its cloud. We also know things are moving fast with cable networks, studios, etc. racing to get apps and content onto your mobile device, especially your iPad.

All the while, the iPhone sales appear to be kicking ass, and besides a larger screen, there doesn't seem to be anything that Joe Public is fretting about not having in the iPhone. For the average non-macrumors.com crowd, the iPhone 4 is plenty sufficient and remains in high demand.

So, in my mind, I smush all of that "data" together, and I believe strongly that there is a blackboard in Steve Jobs office that looks at the forest - not the trees - and shows April/May media event to roll out cloud, and shows the summer as an educational time for consumers to begin integrating cloud into their lives, late summer a new line of iPods that make strong use of the cloud, and perhaps (emphasis on perhaps) a new iPad the has strong cloud integration for holiday sales.

Another way I look at the iPhone 4 is this - it's like when Apple plateaued, in a good way, with Leopard. Apple essentially said, this is awesome, let's chill with this. The most we'll do is tighten up the code a bit with Snow Leopard. The iPhone 4 is like Leopard. While us Apple geeks - me included - enjoy pondering how much more we need out of the iPhone 5, the reality is the vast majority of mobile phone customers are more than satisfied by the iPhone 4, and there is little need for Apple to take attention off the pending cloud release and focus on a iPhone 5.

Just
my
thoughts.

I yield the floor. ;)

Man! I really like this one... :D :cool:

Doubtful since their warranty does not transfer to a second hand buyer. If I were to buy an iPod and then sell it on ebay a few weeks later the new owner would not be covered.

This is indeed what Apple's warranty document says. However, that clause might not be enforceable/legal in some jurisdictions.

In practice, Apple have always honored their warranty regardless of whether you're the original owner.

Downloaded a song from itunes on iphone 4 and it wont transfer to itunes on my computer.

I disconnect the the iphone after syncing and it shows in my purchase log, but it won't show in the library. I also tried to drag and drop and it won't let me do that either.

Any suggestions?

Anyone there Waiting in Line????

How can you pre-order if the 2GB shuffle is not even on Apple's website?

You're kidding right?

AT&T will force MyWi users to pay $45 per month when they catch them.

Apparently AT&T can detect MyWi usage. Good thing I use TetherMe!

Mr Serlet was the creative force that shaped their Macintosh Computer Operating System in it's various forms, until the present.

Today is a huge milestone in the history of Apple and the direction they are headed.

Thank You Mr Serlet, for your brilliant and exemplary service. You will be missed.

You should see the bruised ego when a gay man tells a straight man he's not attracted to him. Trust me, that one stings. For some reason, straight guys think we all think they're hot or something
What is up with that? :)
I have yet to meet one straight male who is attracted to each and every woman he sees. Yet gay men are assumed to be raving predators who would have it off with every male they meet.

Most of you have nothing to worry about.
Oh, this reminds me. The plumber is coming around this afternoon to check the shower�
[That's a joke, BTW. ;)]

Hello, I recently got the texting app "Text Now". I accidentaly chose for it to not allow push notifications, even though I want it to. How would I go about fixing that? I tried re-downloading but it didn't work.

White iPhone ... The hot new accessory for females this summer.

Excuse me, but I'm a guy with a White iPhone 3GS. As far as the new one I'm waiting for the iPhone 5 to upgrade. Color: haven't decided will decide in store side by side.

:D Heard about this on Slashdot. If you could do a search there, there should be hundreds of funny, informative, and trollish posts on it.

Now if we could only get Super Mario Bros, I would be in heaven.
Remember that nostalgic mushrooms and fire flower? LOL, I would love to see the entire suite....Super Marior Bros. 1, 2, 3, and all of the subsequent ones on the subsequent Nintendo consoles.....
