I think it will be more like $79...
If it truly is a convergence, then the development should be amortized over both Mac and iOS development teams. Therefore, they could charge less per copy than they have traditionally, because the product is being applied to more systems.
But don't count on it. $129 will be the price. And when you compare it to the price of Windows, it looks like a bargain.

This thing will sell like mad but why didn't they just make the the mini smaller and flash based last year?

Yes but it does clearly state Core 2 Duo in the product name and the release date of 13th November, they could have just copied the spec of the existing one as they are unsure of the new spec. What is telling is the date, they obviously expect it to happen on the 13th
As i pointed out on digg, they do appear to have cmd-c, cmd-v'd the specs and then added a speculative date to a slightly changed title. However, also note that their new MacBook Pros, (that have already been shipping remember), are also stating a 13/11/2006 shipping date as a pre-order.
This is far from confirmed and we may even see them appear this week rather than next.

Easiest solution is to skip Adobe... they've continually disregarded market "prices" for their products for years (even MS grew up to the fact that you can't charge end users $750 per license for Office when free alternatives exist). There are legitimately better applications produced by smaller companies as well as Apple without having to spend this kind of atrocious amount of money. Products from IMSI, Omni, etc. are cheap and very good. $650 for PS? Gimmie a break... it isn't worth 1/10 of that...

IIRC, it's a feature, not a flaw.
I actually love this feature, because text messages tend to be more important than other notifications, so if I'm busy and I feel a single-vibrate I know not to worry about it and can look later, wheras if it's a double vibrate I'll look a lot sooner.

Why is this on the front page? It's like saying that WalMart is now selling a junk tablet. Except this article says that Toys R Us and Best Buy is now selling iPads. This isn't front page news.
I have to disagree, but I'm on board with you about the front page news. I have to admit I was upset with that silly "jared guy" (or whatever his name was) standing in line for his ipad 2. How in the world is this news?
[BB Code: soapbox] It seems like so much of 'entertainment' or 'news' these days is giving 15 minutes of fame to those doing the things that most people have no interest in doing or even care about. Like, standing in line for 5 days for an iphone. Really? Who cares? I hope to never see front page "news" about some person standing in line to buy a luxury item while others in the world can't find a job...are buried under an earthquake...tornados...starvation...you pick[/soapbox]
At least this post has merit in that it tells those interested in buying where they can now get the ipad.

I am 73 years old, I live in Rogers, AR as does my daughter. My daughter is a Walmart employee! She does not have a mustache! The preceding remark is, in my opinion, unnecessary, cruel and sexist.
There is a great deal about Wal Mart to depise but none of them justify such a gatuitous attack on women, many of whom are single parents, that work hard there to support their families.:(
I'm sure it was all fun and games. It's hard for us Arkansans though. Desipte what reasons people hate Wal-Mart for, they are always a big deal up in our community (local NWA resident here). What I do see though is a lot of under class citizens in our neck of the woods who are able to pay for certain things that they probably couldn't afford elsewhere.

In Brazil any import has about 80% in taxes. That is the way to industrialize the country and make people and companies build the products "in house".
Building the iPad there would be a very good move since for the huge population and cheap professional labor.

Yes the chipset has PATA for optical right now.
Awesome! So this means I can use my Plextor 16x burner in the second optical bay? Or will that not work with an Apple?

The iTunes Store is SLLLLOOOOOWWWWW!!!!
Dreadfully slow. It took all of a minute to open Safari, go to Macrumors, go to the iPod/iTunes discussion section, come to this thread, and get all the way up to the word "slow" in order for it to come up. :(

argument
ever
you guys are arguing over nickels and dimes when it really comes down to preference. people who like os x buy it. people who like windows buy it. they dont sit and think about the cost difference between the two for the most part.
i thought die hard mac os freaks loved it for its functionality and stability, not its price advantage? and windows haters just hate windows no matter what. good for them. im a big whore and ill get the benefits of both. ;)
I hate Windows because I fight with it at work every day. Windows is why I have a Mac.
But the point of this thread is the debate over whether Vista will be reasonably priced at $399 for a full install set, vs. $129 for OS X 10.5.

Liberal = Open mind
Some people who call themselves liberals are just as closed-minded and intolerant as the worst on the right. See most college professors.

My $129 dollar investment in Leopard is going to look like even more of a steal ... :D
Considering that Windows XP was released in Windows Vista correpsonds to Jaguar+Panther+Tiger, which is 3*129=387, which is much closer to the price of Windows Vista ;-)
EDIT: And btw., as some other users noted, the $129 for Mac OS X is the price for an update..

When you're married, it's a partnership, and it's no longer a case of "your money" and "her money", but a case of "OUR" money. Once responsibilities are out the way, then personal purchases can be looked at, but unless you're in a job where you have a LOT of disposable income far in excess of what's required to pay the mortgage and many bills, then yes it's only right you make sure you have the money to go out and buy a gadget which, most of the time, only you will use.
I'm fortunate that my wife enjoys using technology, but I still wouldn't go out on payday and just buy a new gadget without at least letting her know I was doing it, and if I spend money on something, it's only fair she does the same ... which means for whatever you spend, you need to double it and again it's only after looking at bills and responsibilities that you can do so.
Good post man. :) You obviously have your priorities straight.

I heard something that the catalog will be release again soon, and since it will be available, hopefully, soon on iTunes...
Does this mean these versions will have a better audio quality, than the cds I bought almost twenty years ago???:confused:

Is anyone else having the issue with the double vibrate when you get a text?? I had this issue with 4.3 and I have heard no complaining about it. Everyone I know who has 4.3 has the double vibrate so it's not just my phone, but I haven't heard anyone else say anything. It's pretty annoying. Anyway, I was just wondering if this fixed that issue or not.
