Briefly: Apple PDA, WMA in iPod?, new Power Mac G5s..

In Brief: Jobs today said Apple had developed a PDA, but that the company decided not to release the product and also said that WMA support would not be an option on the iPod until Microsoft reached 50% marketshare; rumors are that Apple will introduce new Power Mac G5s as early as tomorrow; Ars Technica has an overview of the Apple's new AirPort Express, including a look at the technical side of the device; O'Reily has released "Google: The Missing Manual" (O'Reilly, $20), which offers search tricks and efficiency tools to little-known corners of Google.

"Most notably, Jobs confirmed that Apple had designed its own PDA device, but canned the project just prior to bringing it to market."


Get your facts straight, just for once.

Some idiots bashing Airport express over Ars Techinca, saying that idea wasn't new and cite some products that do the "SAME" thing.

The only problem is Airport Express do so much more than all the competitive products, at 54Mbps, small and portable, being a wireless station on the go and no need for extra cable to plug to the wall.. man, this thing reallly rocks! Some people will never get it, just like they think the iPod is nothing innovative and compare it to the MP3 player in the market at the time, look what happened now.

Sorry I rant here, because Ars now a pay site if you want to post, well, I rather past.
