Macworld 08 - Nýjungar á leiðinni

Það bíða flestir Mac-notendur spenntir eftir Macworld 2008 en þá eru nýjungar í Mac-heiminum kynntar af Steve Jobs forstjóra Apple. Nú hefur listi "leikið" á netið þar sem tilgreindir eru hlutir sem eiga að líta dagsins ljós á Macworld.

Listinn er skemmtilegur yfirlestrar en tekið skal fram að þetta gæti einnig verið kjaftæði frá A-Ö. En hérna er listinn og verður fróðlegt að sjá hvort eitthvað af þessu kemur.

Það sem mér finnst spennandi á listanum eru:
*iPhone með 3G stuðningi
*Ný Mac book pro - endurhönnum
*Mac book nano - sem er ekki með geisladrifi og super-portible

Hef ekki mikla trú á að þessi listu sé alvöru, þetta er svona "of gott til að vera satt" dæmi, en það verður spennandi að fylgjast með.
