I remember when Sony owned the portable music player market and then got king hit by Apple that delivered, with the iPod, what Sony wouldn't/couldn't at the time. Now it looks to me like history is getting ready to repeat itself. Maybe not today or tomorrow, but soon, given Apple's stubborn...

The thing that really ticks me off is that Apple is having a big giveaway, leading into the selling of their 500,000,000 song and Australians can't take part, because we don't even have a #@$$! store yet! Kap

Anyone know of any good documents for setting up WebDAV on linux? Kap

All of the above. I especially want to get a big picture on the extent and type of use of Java on OS (for desktop applications). Does Apple write any of it's own apps in Java? What percentage of apps on OS X are completely written in Java? Are there any big companies and/or major applications...

I remember Apple claims at a local developer seminar that Java was a "first class citizen" on OS X. Is anyone aware of what programs exist for OS X that have been completely (or even mostly) written in Java? Kap

Crap :( (was anxiously anticipating an iPod mini with color screen). Thanks for the link. :) Kap

I have no idea - just that several sites reported that Apple was supposedly doing some kind of media event on the 7th. All that I've heard since then is that Apple is having some kind of giveaway to celebrate their imminent 500,000,000 (i.e. half a billion) song sold via the iTMS, but I don't...

Apple was supposed to be doing some kind of media event on the 7th - has it happened yet? If so, what was it for? Kap

I have no idea what you mean. The PSP uses memory stick and UMD - space is very limited. If the PSP had a hard disk (even a just 10GB one), I'd get it, but I'm sick to death of Sony churning out new media. Kap

I'd much rather get a Epson P2000 over a PSP. P2000 Has useful card slots for transferring digital pictures (CompactFlash and SD) and video Much better screen A/V out USB direct print Can play movies and music (MP3 and AAC) 40GB hard drive PSP Can play games (which I'll never...

And why stop there? - I'd like to be able to flip the Desktop to get to Desktop pictures and Screensaver. :) :D Kap

I'm finding that it's fun (and even useful) to add chapters to things as short as a song. How are other people finding the chaptering experience? Kap

There's a command line application for adding chapter markers to podcasts available at: http://homepage.mac.com/applepodcast/podcasts/Resources/static/podcast_chapter_tool_beta.dmg It basically takes a .m4a audio file and an xml file and generates a .m4b audio file (i.e. an audio file that can...

Unclear? I'm disappointed that it doesn't seem possible to add bookmarks directly from within iTunes, or drag and drop podcasts that I've already downloaded into the Podcast playlist, but other than that I think they've done a great job. Kap

Just checking - is there any difference between the current "All new iPod" and the iPod photo? i.e. Is it just a matter of a firmware update to get the podcast features on the iPod photo and has anything else significant been added? Kap P.S. The 1GB shuffle has dropped by $20 in Australia. :D

From what I've read, it's possible to subscribe to podcasts from iTunes which aren't listed in the itms. Podcasts are fantastic. Hopefully with Apple's support the number of good podcasts will increase significantly. Has anyone figured out how adding bookmarks to podcasts works yet? Kap

I'd be happy for any moderators around to alter the poll. However, I suspect I already know the result of adding Word to the poll i.e. "Yes, Word is significantly more powerful (even with it's bugs), but most Mac users would give their right arm to be able to move away from MS and embrace a...

Haven't had much chance to use Pages and just wondering what people thought of it so far (and in particular, what features are badly needed for Pages 1.1). Kap

You could try the Epson P2000. I believe that it's Mac compatible (AAC and MP3), has a 40 GB hard drive and can play video. http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/epsonp2000/ Kap P.S. However, if you want an MP3 player for jogging, etc.. I would recommend an iPod mini - the iPod's a beautiful MP3...

I got Panther thinking that I'd be using iChat AV fairly regularly, but it turned out that I hardly used it at all. Do people find that having multiuser videochat has increased their usage of iChat AV in Tiger? Is the overall experience qualitatively different? Kap
