MacJury #1002: Judging the iPad

The wait is over. Apple’s new iPad is finally here, putting an end to months of speculation, predictions and wishful thinking. How close does it come to being the ultimate portable device? How does it measure up to the astronomical hype? Will it save the newspaper and magazine industry, dominate the ebook market and upend hand-held gaming? What about the price points, options for connectivity and the selection of AT&T as the provider of internet access? Deliberations on all these issues and more are conducted by the panel of:

Peter Cohen	Jeff Gamet	Joe Kissell

MacJury #920: Deliberations on the New 27″ iMac, Apple’s Acquisition of LaLa, the JooJoo Pad and More

The MacJury is called to order to discuss the new 27″ iMac and why, with its large display, i7 quad core CPU and hyperthreading, it is a game-changer in the desktop computer space. Is it just the best iMac yet, or a harbinger of a coming move to a true television-style device from Apple? Evidence is also heard on Apple’s purchase of LaLa and what it might mean for the future of Apple’s music business, how the North Carolina data center may figure in, and how it might just fit in to the much ballyhooed Apple Tablet. Speaking of tablets…the MacJury passes judgement on the JooJoo pad, the internet tablet that is rising from the ashes of the CrunchPad. The panel that gets all this done includes:

Victor Cajiao	Pat Fauquet	Mark Fuccio	John Martellaro	Chuck Joiner

All this and more are examined by the panel of:

Jeff Carlson	Adam Christianson	Glenn Fleishman
Keith Lang	Chuck La Tournous	Chuck Joiner
