That means only one thing, there's new MacBook Pro models on the horizon. New processors and hopefully the new back-lit LED technology for the 17" model. The touchpad technology that's integrated into the new MacBook Air may also be part of this update.
A new iPod shuffle model was released this week with a capacity of 2GB. The new price structure is $49.00 for the 1GB model and $69.00 for the 2GB model.
As expected, HD-DVD is going the way of the dodo bird. This format had its advantages, but the Blu-Ray consortium managed to persuade enough distributors to back its format so HD-DVD will no longer be a consumer format. We still might see it as a professional format though, just like Betamax did.
