IMAX Reacts to iPhone Duo's 1:1.4 Aspect Ratio Displays

what if it's not a computer?

Ever since Apple released the iPod, I've been wondering if they're still going to be a personal computer company. Actual quote from Steve "We're going to juice the Mac for all it's worth, then get onto the next big thing." Let's hope so; I for one am tired of Apple coming out with over-priced, over-hyped products like the cube that outperform their windoze competitors by a slim margin. I love the Mac, but at the present rate, it seems Apple's products will never go beyond cult status. In order to survive, Apple needs to do something radical to differentiate themselves from the other PC companies like Compaq, HP, and Dell. Perhaps the new release on January 7 will break away from the lines of traditional computing that requires a keyboard, mouse, and monitor.
