5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
European Apple stores have reportedly already run out of both MacBook models, while US inventories are running down. This is always a sign that a company is on the verge of launching new models. Add that to the fact no-one likes buying the ‘old’ model a week before the new one is launched, and this kind of thing is a good idea. Another big event due for the end of this month is the introduction of the US $79 (AUD $119) 2nd-generation Shuffle. Apple expects to sell millions of these over Christmas, with online pre-orders already flooding in. And there’s always the chance Apple could still launch an iPhone and/or widescreen 6G iPod, but unless it happens next week, it’ll probably be held over to January’s Macworld expo. The Core 2 Duo MacBook range could spark an enormous new Mac market, as computer users not only decide to buy a portable computer over a desktop model, but choose an Intel-powered Mac instead to run Mac OS X, Windows XP and/or Vista and even Unix at the same time. And for those wanting a desktop model, Core 2 Duo desktop iMacs have been available for weeks. If you want the freedom to run all the major operating systems, a Mac is the only choice. {moscomment} |
