the lighting charging port for the current apple whatever-mouse is on the bottom. if the battery dies you can't use it while it charges.

KGI also claims the proximity sensor component is also getting a upgrade (�switching from LCD to laser�) with faster response times and longer recognition distance, with support for hand-waving gesture features.

could be some surprises at the apple event. however, i feel like the people at KGI have no idea how technology works and what words mean. there's a few things like this in their report. i guess they mean LED?

it will warn you the battery is low well before it runs out so you can plug it in at the end or your computer session

Time to stand! Stand up, plug in your mouse, and move around for one minute.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

a drawing stylus was one of the more popular third party accessories so apple made one. just like they did with battery cases

if you want to argue that stebe wouldn't have done this, see the iPod hifi

Apple at least doesn't build all this crap into their products.... yet

this was why palm was so great

they only used the resistive screen for actually clicking on things. most input was done through a digitizer separated from the screen

(when that technology advantage ceased to be an advantage, people stopped caring about palm)

High price, more expensive than other similar products such as the iBoom and Bose's SoundDock.
Lack of an AM/FM radio.
Placement of the iPod itself in a vulnerable location compared to other similar devices such as the Bose SoundDock. This is due to the iPod device sitting atop the unit, with no other method of securing the player to the dock besides the 30-pin dock connector.
The supplied remote control has limited functionality. The remote can only control the volume and skip between tracks within the selected playlist. The menu button switches between the dock and the audio-in port; it cannot assume the function of the menu button on the docked iPod itself.
iPod compatibility: Only some iPod models can use the iPod Hi-Fi dock. The stereo comes with adapters for third generation (20 GB, 40 GB), fourth generation (20 GB, 30 GB, 40 GB, 60 GB, U2 special edition) and fifth generation (30 GB, 60 GB, 80 GB) iPods, and the first and second generations of the iPod nano. The iPod shuffle does not have a dock connector, and so can only connect to the audio-in port and cannot be recharged by the stereo.[6] So, with the exception of the iPod shuffle, the iPod Hi-Fi can be used with all iPods with a dock connector, however will only charge iPods that support Firewire charging.
An adapter must be used to charge newer iPod models (except for iPod classic) and the iPhone 3G, 3GS, 4 and 4S because they require a lower voltage: the iPod Hi-Fi supplies 12VDC (FireWire) while the newer devices expect 5VDC (USB).
