Apple launch iMac G5

Apple launch iMac G5 08/31/2004 06:10 AM
Apple have just sent word that the latest in the iMac line, the G5, is being launched today. The new line, based around the G5 chip, is essentially a computer packed into a 2" thick LCD screen, which apple claims to be the 'worlds thinnest desktop computer'. The iMacs feature 17" to 20" Widescreen LCD with G5s going up to 1.8 GHz.

Apple are making many comparisons between the new iMac, and their hugely successful iPod. Philip Schiller, Apple PR man, commented that "Just like the iPod redefined portable digital music players, the new iMac G5 redefines what users expect from a consumer desktop", also remarking "With the entire system, including a gorgeous 17- or 20-inch display, just two inches thin, a lot of people will be wondering ‘where did the computer go?’" One hopes that they'll be not asking this in a too critical light when the machine crashes.

Apple claims the iMac will run very quietly (~25db), making it suitable for all locations in the home. Its I/O ports are neatly designed on the computer; it features 5 USB ports and 3 Firewire ports. Interestingly, Apple offers "internal support" for Airport Extreme cards, yet does not ship with them as standard - the same is true for its support on Bluetooth - you need to buy the extra card, but it integrates with the iMac G5. It also has built in Ethernet ports (10/100). The system packs a SuperDrive (DVD/CD writer combo), up to 2 gig of DDR 400mhz RAM and up to 250 gig of hard drive space (SATA). The new iMac also has an AGP 8X nVidia based (GeForce FX 5200 Ultra) graphics solution.

Prices range from £919 (low end, 17" / 1.6 GHz) to £1349 (high end, 20" / 1.8 GHz). All in all, not too bad. Apple would like a successful line of computers that they can ship, be proud of (i.e. enjoy critical acclaim) and make lots of money on. They've been plagued by supply problems on some of their other product lines, and Apple would be well advised to resolve these problems sooner, rather than later.

Sony delays PSP European launch until
summer 02/05/2005 10:10 PM
Sony has announced that the release date of its new Playstation Portable in Europe and most of Asia will be delayed until summer. March 24th has been announced as the release date for the handheld device in North America. Sony says European gaming enthusiasts, as well as citizens from most of Asia except Japan, will have to wait until sometime in the summer to get their hands on the new system due to high demand and low supply in those parts of the world. "We doubt our customers would be satisfied in releasing them with insufficient inventories," said Kenichi Fukunaga, a spokesman for Sony Computer Entertainment. "By summer, we will be able to manage to meet global demand as our production capacity will be raised to two million units a month," Fukunaga said. "But under the current conditions, it is difficult for us to go ahead with the planned schedule."

Apple Expo: Apple intros iMac G5
(MacCentral) 08/31/2004 07:26 PM
MacCentral - Apple's senior vice-president of worldwide marketing, Phil Schiller, took a cue from his boss, CEO Steve Jobs, as he unveiled one more thing at the end of his keynote to kick off this week's Apple Expo in Paris: an iMac G5 that includes the entire system inside a 17- or 20-inch LCD screen. Continuing the all-in-one theme that started with the original CRT iMac, the G5 edition features a new industrial design that does away with the hemispherical base of the previous generation all together. Schiller said that the new iMacs will be available in mid-September.

Apple iMac G5

Apple iMac G5 08/31/2004 06:03 AM

And it lives! Apple has fully unveiled the new iMac G5, and it's basically a Pizza box PC that looks a lot like the new Cinema displays, except white. Available in 17- and 20-inch form, the machines will come with 1.6 and 1.8GHz G5 processors, respectively. I'll go ahead and throw up this post with pictures, then actually wake up and jump up with more details.

Read - Product Page [Apple]

Update: One sort of geeky thing that immediately is noticable is that the iMac G5 doesn't share the "50% of the processor speed" bus as the PowerMac G5s. That's going to be a real performance wrinkler (although still a welcome bump from the G4).
