Industry Impressions on Apple shuffle and Apple Mini
Posted by Jason Dunn in "THOUGHT" @ 06:00 PM
Gizmodo has whipped up a quick post with quotes from some industry-types, and someone confused me for one of them. :lol: I'm going to be incredibly lame and quote myself:
"Based on what I've seen so far, the Apple Mini is quite impressive. I'm blown away by how small it is - I was expecting some sort of Blade-sever-esque size, but the Apple Mini makes my Shuttle XPCs look like a full tower. The specs for it are absolutely pathetic (167 mhz bus speed? I can type faster than that), but people aren't going to buy one because it will their fast, main computer. They'll buy one as a second or even third computer, something to compliment what they already have, or to fit into a tight space. Hell, I've never owned a Mac (and frequently smack Apple around) and even I'm considering picking one of these up. The Apple OS has always intrigued me, but the price point always put the idea of getting one on the 'When I get $2000 that I have nothing better to do with" shelf.' "
Check out the article for the rest of the quotes.
