portable computer?
by Brad on Wed 5th May 2004 22:09 UTC

"Jobs during the last shareholdes meeting says clearly that the concept of a cheap portable computer for Apple is stupid, so they develop iPod. "

wouldn't that be the iBook? for a cheap portable computer.

I don't think anyone is connecting cheap and portable together for something they are looking for. If it's a desktop it stays on the desk, if it's a laptop it moves around. Is there some group planning lan parties with macs or something?

I would agree with Jobs that a cheap portable computer would be stupid, but no one has asked for one far as I know. Cheap computers yes (some have asked). Lesser function computers yes. Portable, well they have laptops. Though a iBook hooked into a real monitor and keyboard might make a nice slim computer.
