Previously Steve Jobs had claimed June 2006 as the target date for Intel Macs. Well June came early this year. :wink: Nothing has changed in terms of design, but there's an Intel Core Duo chip (Yonah) beating in the chest of this beast. I look forward to reading some early reviews.

I'm watching the keynote now...someone needs to tell Jobs he should be wearing a belt. Jeans with no belt look so bad.

32 million iPods sold in 2005 alone? Wow. 8O
850 million songs sold on iTunes? Wow. 8O
3 million iTunes songs per day? Wow. 8O
8 million videos sold on iTunes since October? Wow. 8O

The way he milks the crowd for applause? Wow. 8O
The way he introduced the radio for the iPod as if it were his idea and Apple wasn't really playing catch up with every other play on the market? Wow. 8O

The scariest thing of all though is that whenever I watch a Jobs keynote, it makes me want a Mac. :robot:
