Apple introduced its new iPad 2 today at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, California by none other than the master presenter himself, Steve Jobs. He mentioned that he could not let this historic announcement go by without showing up at the show, which is interesting because this presentation was a lot less historic than the iPhone coming to Verizon…. in my opinion anyway. Back to the iPad as it were, never owning an iPad myself…

Once again, the rumor mills have been running up all types of conjecture of what folks think the iPad2 will be.  I can tell you what it will not be.  It will not contain anything from the MacBook Pro other than 1 or two new  technologies.  Most of it will be rehashes and improvements of current technology. First off, memory has been a major issue on the machines from the get go.  I have friends who have the 16gb model…

Apple, Inc. wasted no time in back to back announcements this week.   With their MacBook Pro new models barely onto the show rooms, Apple announced their March 2nd event for the unveiling of the iPad2.   Many people have speculated on the specs of the iPad2 for some time now and this is the first sign that we have that the iPad is not delayed as many sites were saying but that it will be available soon.  The event for…

By A.P.P.L.E. Staff This month, the gang over at MacHeist has had two events.  The first was ta short event to give away the software package Squeeze by LateNiteSoft.  While this particular package would appeal to those who are lacking in hard drive space, we feel that squeezing data is not necessarily the best idea. However, now the folks at MacHeist have come out with the nanoBundle 2 and have included some really cool packages.  The packages included in the…

By A.P.P.L.E. Staff Photos By Jim Gottlieb One again, the even aptly named MacWorld Exposition has come and gone.   While the naysayers were saying that the event would die without the main players there, the event did go on.  Apple, Inc. of course pulled out over a year ago, prior to the last version of the event.  But Alas, the show must go on and go on it did. What you saw this year was that instead of many big…

Every year about this time, everyone begins clamouring over each other to put out the juiciest rumor about what would be presented at MacWorld Expo by Apple. So we decided we would put our hat in the ring as well and give our two cents to the pot. For months now, everyone has been putting OS X on every PC subnotebook known to man including the EE-PC. While this might not seem like a stretch, we think it is quite…

According to the press release from Ken…

At this months WWDC Keynote speech, Steve Jobs once again announced the impending death of an Apple Computer product. Steve has been well known over the years for doing this well ahead of the actual death of a product and this is no exception. Walking onto the stage where a coffin containing a large mock up of the OS 9.x product, Steve opened the coffin, set the box up so that all could see. While people laughed at the analogy,…

21 March 2002 Tokyo Japan Steve Jobs opened Mac World Expo in Tokyo, Japan today with a keynote that seemed to draw something back to Apple that had been missing for a while.. Although he had given a speech just over one month ago in San Francisco, Jobs came to Tokyo with goodies in hand. His keynote brought cheers and applause from the crowd with his introduction of the 10gb iPod and the Cinema Display HD or High Definition as…
