Comments on: Apple “Back to the Mac” Event Oct. 20: OS X 10.7 On The Agenda? http://gigaom.com/2010/10/13/apple-back-to-the-mac-event-oct-20-os-x-10-7-on-the-agenda/ Wed, 19 Jun 2013 00:47:04 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: mike http://gigaom.com/2010/10/13/apple-back-to-the-mac-event-oct-20-os-x-10-7-on-the-agenda/#comment-391850 Mon, 18 Oct 2010 21:02:42 +0000 http://theappleblog.com/?p=53517#comment-391850 i think you nailed it. the new MBA is going to have a smaller hard drive (if we can even call it that anymore). New macbooks will focus on speed, battery life. Lion uses cloud computing (maybe 3G on the MBA and new computers?) in order to increase the speed of the computers and make more room for a larger battery.

Moving the hard drive out of the computer – is this apple’s new revolutionary idea?

this is entirely speculation – but wouldn’t it be fun if it was true?

(not like i already do)

Although I just got a Mac so if the hardware update is a big one I’ll be a little upset. But oh, well an even better one will follow I suppose.

It is all about cloud based computing. Maybe this is in relation to iTunes but i suspect it has to do with competition for dropbox and a revamped iDisk. This is critical to linking all their iOS gadgets and your desktop home folder. This has been hinted for years and now they will have the infrastructure to support it.

Didn’t it take Snow Leopard around the same time from Macworld’09 until release in the very late Fall?

Snow Leopard was announced well before its actual release, but that was a unique case since it was basically an upgrade pack for Leopard. So, if 10.7 is on the way, we could see it hitting shelves on or shortly after Oct. 20, in time for holiday shoppers.”

Come on, guys. Don’t provide meaningless speculation like this. The event was just announced and you’re speculating that because Leopard was available ten days after the event, Lion might be available by the 20th? A window for release hasn’t been established by what happened with one OS release three years ago. I might suggest that you say something like, “Obviously this confirms that 10.7 is on the way. Hopefully we could see it hitting shelves in time for holiday shoppers.”

a it isn’t as buggy as the snow leopard intro was
and
b that, if its based on IOS, it doesn’t include all the ‘can only buy from the App store” crap that pollutes iOS.

Whenever apple releases a new product like the iPad or iPhone 4; I like to think that they capitalize on the opportunity, and treat these products like a platter on to which they put some of their newest features on display to test their acceptance. In the iPad we met apple’s new home made processor called the Apple A4 system on a chip. now it is at the heart of the iPhone, iPod touch, and apple tv as well. The same can be said about the retina display; I don’t see why apple wouldn’t put their displays into all of their products, like they are doing with their processors. what I’m hoping for is that these features are not limited to their iDevices. I would love nothing more than to see a new 11 inch macbook air with a new apple processor built specifically for mac OSX, and a new retina display, all for the price of $899. Apple used to brag so much about how much the powerPC chips in their powerbooks used to “Eat pentium notebooks for breakfast” I personally would love to see apple start challenging intel again and go back to “thinking different”
