Next Generation iPods and PowerBook Jobs

"You will be
working with the latest state of the art technologies to solve a variety of
difficult thermal, cosmetic, design and manufacturing problems."

Difficult thermal manufacturing problems=the G5 does run hot in a Powerbook!

Those requirements for the 2nd one... I don't know how they find people with such high requirements

hmm. it seems apple has ipod and 'finest portable music player' as two separate things- mebbe the next gen ipod wont be just a music player? here's to hope!:cool:

so we've concluded that they will update products; good.

well it is the positions of Sr. Product Design Engineer,

so 6 years experience isn't really alot to ask for, niether is 3-D CAD
all the others are preffered.

seems reasonable to me

mmm, sweet sweet anticipation!

What happened? The people they already have jumped ship to work somewhere else? Or were they executed because they knew too much? :D

maybe they are talking about iBooks too, and not just powerbooks.

Thanks

well they have 5 notebook models. I would assume they had a team for each model. but there were reports (cant remember where) that the 12" powerbook was originally a replacement for the ibook, but marketing wouldnt allow g4 in the 'i' series notebooks. i guess im saying they're now expanding, they want a 12" powerbook team, distinct from a 12" ibook team

but hey, its all conjecture.

If that's true, you have to give the 12" iBook team a lot of credit. It seems to me that the 12" PB is the most complex notebook Apple makes and will be by far the most difficult to upgrade to the G5. More speculation, but why would Apple want to hire an entirely new team for this daunting task? Wouldn't it make more sense to promote the 12" iBook team?
