This time, Cupertino is eliminating the education market’s eMac and replacing it with a lower-spec’d 17-inch widescreen iMac. What’s surprising is that the replacement iMac isn’t just a glorified doorstop—a 1.83 GHz Intel Core…

Axes VP8360 100GB PMP

So, does size really matter? No, according to all of my ex-girlfriends, but they were probably just being nice. I’m going to also vote no to this portable media player from Axes.

Universal Embraces Simple CDs To Compete With iTunes: Now Less For More!
