New rumor about an apple notebook

A new rumor from SmartHouse is making the rounds today, with alleged sources claiming LG has partnered with Apple to make OLED displays for a new iPhone and iPod touch, a Taiwan-manufactured netbook that's reportedly already in working prototype stage, and a device with a wafer-thin screen that would link wirelessly to a content-providing box similar to Apple TV. Sure, some of that makes sense, but let's add a good bit of context here. This article in question was written by SmartHouse veteran David Richards, who in the past has brought us such winners as PlayStation 4 launching in 2008, a Xbox 360 equipped with HD DVD, and our favorite, Apple producing its own soap opera series exclusively for the iPod. We're not saying the Apple-LG partnership is entirely out of the realm of possibility, but this guy doesn't exactly have the best track record. Furthermore, this doesn't jibe with two separate reports from Dow Jones Newswire and Commercial Times / DigiTimes that Quanta is providing the screens for an upcoming Apple netbook launching in Q3. Lastly, with today's announcement that LG is licensing Kodak's OLED technology for future devices, we get the feeling the company isn't the best suited to meet Cupertino's demands. Seems like this week's barrage of Apple news has gotten to people's heads, honestly -- keep a sharp eye!

Steve Jobs presenting the first generation of Mac Book Air



I only can say that this guy its amazing ! :-)

A few thoughts

Good Night

First of all, I want to explain why I chosen apple, my impressions about the company and my personal opinion about Apple.
I think Apple bases its success on its extraordinary capacity of seducing people and its ability to further develop ideas started in other companies. When Apple is about to launch a new product to the market, they manage to create a huge expectation around it.

I also have chosen Apple because I think it is a great company. They are the best at creating new products and put them on the market. Also, the probably have the best marketing ever seen before in a commercial company. They also have the capability to generate a tremendous expectation when launching new products. A prove of that is the amount of speculation and gossip generated around any new product.

Market share

Its only problem of the company is its price. Buying anything from Apple is really expensive, and not everyone can afford it. In the American market (excluding the popular iPod) Apple is seen as a high end product.

My personal experience with Apple products
These are the products that I have bought throughout my life.
Ipod Shuffle 512mb- first generation
Ipod Nano 8g- second generation
Iphone 3g 8g- second generation
Ipod Touch 16- second generation
Ipod Nano 16g- fifth generation
Mac Book 13’- last generation

I can only say good things about Apple products. I always liked them, and enjoyed them a lot. They are always well designed, look attractive, and are easy to use. Since I like to stand apart from the rest, I chosen Apple every time my budget allowed me to do so. Maybe it is a bit like wanting to wear designer clothes and be glamorous, but in electronics. It's a different live style!

The last thing that I want to say today, is about
Steve Jobs. He founded Apple together with another Steve, Steve Wozniak (Woz) and both were born in San Francisco.
