Hier is redelijk wat te vinden.


*    The Quicktime stream of the keynote is pushing 3GB/sec-plus!
*    More than 100,000 copies of Mac OS X Public Beta have been sold.
*    Steve reviews the common gribes about the Beta, mentions that most of
the key missing features in the Beta are now present in in-house builds....
Location Manager, Airport, and many others.
*    The Apple Menu is back, consolidating many common system functions
(Sleep, Shut Down, Log Out, etc.) which were previously only available in
the Finder's application menu. Recent items are also back.
*    The Dock has been dramatically enhanced: new features include in-dock
QuickTime movie play, listing of items in docked Finder items (disks,
folders -- this may later be enhanced to include archives like .sits!) by
holding the mouse down over them, and many others.
*    The Finder has been tweaked to be more OS9-like; when the default file
browser is closed, windows will independently spawn just as in the classic
Mac OS. 
*    The File Browser has been streamlined to take up less screen real
estate and further improve simplicity. Expect lots of sneak-peeks on the
Apple Web site soon....
*    The new PowerMac G4 has been unveiled -- and yes, they made it to
733MHz! Default configurations are single-processor and start at 466MHz.
High-end models can be made Build-To-Order with dual processors! (Mmmm,
1466MHz...) 
*    At long last, the PowerMac will now have five slots!
*    The new systems will come with the long-rumored Pioneer CD/DVD
drive/burner that will be able to create consumer-playable DVDs! These
machines are going to sell like hotcakes.
*    The new PowerMacs will start at $1699. The 733MHz Best model will be
$3499. 
*    As predicted, the new PowerMacs have a 133MHz bus, 4X AGP, a new audio
system, and high-end models will include an nVidia GeForce 2MX graphics
accelerator! 
*    Steve warns, however, that the 733MHz model will be in very short
supply, so get your order in soon....
*    A Pentium 4 1.5GHz is soundly trounced by the single-processor 733MHz
model in the usual Photoshop race -- Steve equates it with a 2GHz P4, which
of course doesn't exist yet.
*    Expect to hear the line "Power to Burn" a lot in the near future.
*    OS X will be released on March 24 for $129, and will be bundled with
new Macs by July -- Macworld New York in July will be a celebration of the
new Mac OS. 
*    The 15-inch flat panel display is now $799, down $200.
*    As expected, Apple is announcing a new audio application, including a
powerful new CD burning application that is much easier to use than many
common competitors and will be able to burn a track a time, rather than the
one-shot limitation that many burning apps are stuck with. The new app is
called iTunes and it also plays CD and MP3 audio. Steve demonstrated a very
impressive visualizer (component which interprets sound wave data into
fractals and other mesmerizing visuals) included in iTunes -- the crowd went
wild! 
*    iTunes is available for immediate download from Apple.com, runs on OS9
*    iDVD is the new DVD application, can encode the MPEG-2 video for
burning to DVD in only 2X the length of the movie on G4s using the power of
the Velocity engine -- compared to around 25X for other encoders!
*    And the moment we've all been waiting for -- the new Powerbook G4. It's
one inch thick in a beautiful titanium enclosure, sports up to a 500MHz G4,
has a 15.2-inch screen, weighs 5.3 pounds, employs RAGE 128 Mobility
graphics, and offers up to five hours of battery life! Firewire, Airport, up
to 1GB of RAM, available at the end of the month....
*    Steve compares the PBG4 to the Sony Vaio -- the Vaio subnotebook is $50
more, isn't as thin as the G4, isn't as fast, doesn't have CD/DVD, and has
no wireless LAN options.
*    Steve is wrapping up now (1:45 EST) and seems to targeting the people
(particularly investors) who are worried about Apple's business
future....exuding a lot of confidence that the issues are being dealt with
and that everything is on track.
