Apple's All Launched Out for 2008

Despite Internet rumors of forthcoming product releases, an Apple representative confirmed that the company has no plans to release any new products before the holidays. Our holiday line-up is set,” Apple spokesman Bill Evans told Macworld. For instance, one online report claims that Apple will release new iMacs and an updated Mac mini on November 10. The report offers only "Apple moles" as the source for the report.

Were you hoping for a matte screen macbook or display to be announced just in time for the holidays? Jobsies politely suggests, "Eat me." Not, like, in those words. But I'm pretty sure that's what he's thinking.

And another thing... if you're referencing inside information from a source at Apple, wouldn't it make more sense to call them a worm than a mole? Just sayin'...

Get the facts. Do a google search for MATTE GLOSSY POLL, and you'll see that most polls that between 45% to 54% want matte screens.

Now, Apple can do their research, and claim that anything below 49% means the majority want gloss. But this 44-54% agrees with what the local Apple store salesman told me: that it was roughly 50-50 for people who wanted matte vs glossy MacBook Pro's (of the former model that had the option).

These are the polls of people who want matte:

44%
45%
48%
68%
50%
54 %
72%

That doesn't make any sense though... Apple always does what their consumers want. Like that copy/paste on the iPhone. I hear Steve himself is coding it in to the next iPhone update, and giving all iPhone owners a discount for having to live without it for so long!
