And they'll sit on the large screen version as long as it takes them to get the new hybrid touchscreen right. Unlike MS and the entire satellite industry around Windows, Apple isn't willing to ship something that's half-baked out the door because "market experts" demand that they do it.

They're taking their time and they're doing it right.


We have at least one FReeper that works on the iPod for Apple doing software (might be a company contracting with Apple). He's explained it a number of times.

Wow, the ignorance of this comment is staggering. Here are a few of Apple computers duds: Don't misinterpret what I am saying; I think Apple makes some fabulous products and I am an iPod owner myself. I just get tired of people treating the two companies (Microsoft and Apple) as if one was operated out of hell and the other one staffed by all-knowing angels. The truth is, Apple is a corporation just like Microsoft. Microsoft has plenty of smart people, and does some pretty innovative things too.

The real danger to innovation is a dearth of competition. Apple is a publicly traded company, in business to make money for the shareholders. Give them a monopoly and they will raise prices and stop spending money on innovation.
