Apple updates iMac, iPod
Today, Apple updated the 17" iMac to 1.25 GHz, but left most of the rest of the machine's woefully inadequate stats untouched (an 80 GB drive in 2003? Come on, guys), rendering the machine both overpriced and underpowered. That's a shame, and it's the reason I'll be getting rid of my own 17" iMac (a maxed out 1 GB model) the second the company releases the new 15" PowerBook I've been yearning for for months: For me, the iMac has been a constant disappoint, and I'm sorry I bought it. You will be too. The iPod news, sadly, isn't much better: Now available in sizes of 10 GB ($300), 20 GB ($400) and 40 GB ($500), the iPod is, again, way too much money: You can get a Creative Nomad Zen NX 30 GB for $300, the price of the cheapest iPod. Unlike the iMac, however, the iPod is still desirable: I may grab a 40 GB model soon if I can find a discount somewhere.
