BostonHerald.com highly recommends the 5G iPod, calling it a better alternative to getting cable and watching "stuttervision." The 5G iPod is also being touted as a new distribution channel for video, allowing those who has previously failed in getting their content out, make their work more accessible.
Shaw Wu predicts that the first MacIntels will be Mac portables like the Powerbook or iBook, or perhaps lightweight sub-notebooks or palmtops. Wu doesn't think iMacs will get the Intel chip soon because the PowerPC G5 offers the best price-performance. Think Secret thinks that Apple will introduce a 13.3-inch iBook, replacing the 14-inch model. The new iBook is said to have 15 percent more pixels than the 14-inch and will have WXGA resolution of 1280x720.

A hot topic goes: "Which is better in introducing children to computers? Mac or Windows?" Dave Taylor tries to be unbiased in his response but ultimately as a parent, he sees his kids use the Mac more.
