[Mark JB]

So when are movie rentals coming to the UK ?

Question is, can you access is as a NAS drive. I'd be really upset if I had a 500GB NAS sitting there and couldn't access it, my backups aren't that big so I'd like to use the extra space.

I also wish they'd added a audio port to it, enabled airtunes and discontinued the airport express. It's the only device which isn't n compatible and it's old as the hills.

Edit: Mini-DVI is what's on the MacBook and Pro range... opps.

Nope, I have full DVD-D/I/whatever it is on my MBP.

yeah my airtunes is slowing down my network, wish they had done that with the new N extreme and this time capsule

Bit gutted there were no mbp updates. Though i like the design anyway really. would have been nice to see a little price drop though.

damn iPhone wont update, keeps saying it cant connect to update server, must be busy i guess

 

[Mr Jones]

I just realise!

Can I buy just the superdrive only? Reason being I'm with the old macbook and I'd like a dual layer drive... hmm~

would have thought so yea

 

[Spyhop]

Not sure whether it's old hat, but i thought it was cool that the superdrive is powered solely by USB.

If the MacBook Air was sub £1000 i would have considered buying it, it would have been perfect for lugging into college. My 17" isnt that good for college as it is soo big.

My update just downloaded for my iPhone, came up with an error, now wont download again says it cant connect

FFS lol

I'll be buying the new Apple TV when the UK rentals surface.

Haven't had my AirPort Extreme for long so I'll probably consider getting (Time Capsule) in the future when people review it/find out if you can use the 1TB for personal storage, not just a backup with Time Machine.

LOL at the MacBook Air.. worst name, terrible price, totally pointless spec, and now instead of shutting up the whiners you've probably just made them moan even more.

Not a bad keynote, but not earth shattering either. People expecting iPod Touch/iPhone updates... told you

Have you updated your iTunes?

I had to do that before it would work.

Nothing of particular interest to me in this keynote. Looking forward to 10.5.2 though.

 

[Spyhop]

Is that it? No one more thingz?

 

[J1234]

Going to get an Apple TV next week, great upgrade to the rentals etc imo
