24'' LED Cinema and In-Ear Headphones Shipping Soon?

Apple may be finally preparing to ship both the new In-Ear headphones and new 24" LED Cinema Displays to customers. Apple pre-announced the products at their September and October media events, respectively.

According to sources, Apple has just today end-of-life'd the old Apple 23" Cinema Display and old In-Ear headphones. This means that Apple will no longer be supplying these products to resellers. This is generally considered a sign that the new products will be shipping soon.

Apple describes the new In-Ear headphones as being "engineered for superior acoustic accuracy, balance, and clarity" and were originally promised in October. Meanwhile, the 24" Cinema Display uses an LED screen for the first time, and incorporates the new Mini Displayport found on the new Apple notebooks.

I still wonder what Mac Pro users will do if they want a 23-24 inch display. Will there be an adapter? Will there be new cinema displays for non-notebooks?

Where Apple have slipped up it comes with a Mini Display Port socket, not a full sized Display Port found on normal displays. I don't think the Mini Display Port socket is standardised, therefore locking in consumers to Apple's propriety socket. Apple need to now make D-Sub15/DVI/HDMI/Display Port to Mini Display Port adapters. I hope it supports sound via HDMI socket converter, as the sound for the display comes from the Mini Diplay Port socket, and maybe HDCP for compatibility which will be required to play Bluray content.


I also fear the 24 inch screen will have the same LCD display as the 24inch iMac, if so, it will be a huge regression in quality from the previous 23inch display. People moaned about the Alu 24inch iMac before as it has 98% less colours than the older 20 and white 24 inch, and a class action lawsuit because it has to use dithering. Anyone like to comment?

I think Apple is going to release cord sets for the new display. Pop out the laptop one and plug in one that has a DVI connection instead of a Display Port.

Anyone else notice the new headphones go for 79 bones? They'd better be pretty darn good for that price.

Personally, no thanks, Apple.
