Could still be fake/rumor.

If true ...

Wow! Starting at $499 --- good way to reel in all those new iPod users!

iHome + bluetooth Keyboard + Airpot Express = new piece for my entertainment center (catch my drift ??)

Those pics are complete bogus. If you want to know why, read this. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a flat box announced tomorrow though.

Thanks for the heads up .. yeah kinda looks like an iBook :-)

But, the rumors are probably are true - headless mac, guess we'll know in a few hours.

Seems like an ideal candidate to run something like QLSO Gold or Stylus RMX as a separate module (PC style).

As a stand-alone QLSO player, I bet it could handle a decent amount of modules since the sequencer DAW would not be running off of the same machine and memory.


Hmmmm...thoughts?

only one gig of RAM max in it

Cool concept. Shuttle PCs might be a good way to take this same kind of approach. Something like one of these, perhaps:

That's because it only has one slot for RAM. This machine isn't designed to compete with the Powermac. Still, I like it. It's a real jaw-dropper.

It's so cool that I feel disappointed because I don't have any use for it. Maximum 2 gigs of ram and a digital audio out would make it irresistible as a sampler and a DVD player.
