If accurate, this would represent 41% year-over-year growth for Mac sales for the company. Apple's short term outlook also looks remarkably positive as well as AppleInsider reports that the analyst found in a survey that "34 percent of respondents intend to purchase a Mac notebook in the next 90 days, while another 30 percent plan to buy a Mac desktop."
التوقعات تقول ان أبل راح تشهد إرتفاعات ملحوطة لمبيعات الماك بوك و الماك بوك برو و الديسكتوب لهذا الربع من العام, المبيعات هذي ترجع لعروض الـعودة للمدارس و كمان بسبب ان معظم الي يشتروا الأيبود يقرروا بعدها بمدة انهم يشتروا ماك!
و في نفس الوقت في إشاعات جديدة طلعت بخصوص اجهزة أبل مختصرها:
- Revamp of entire iPod line.
- Small cosmetic changes to Touch, Nano to see significant redesign
- iPods to see fairly large price drops to distance itself from the $199 iPhone.
- iPod touch 2.1 software, iPhone to get update very soon after.
- iTunes 8.0 ("it's a big update w/new features").
- All of this coming in the next 2-3 weeks.
-predict that Apple will introduce new laptops as well as a new iPod Touch shortly after the end of the promotion.
- Blu-Ray support coming in Mac OS X 10.5.6
و في نفس هذي الأثناء, مايكروسوفت تخطط لحملة دعائية كبيرة, راح يظهر فيها Bill Gates و ايضاً الممثل الكوميدي Jerry Seinfeld
هذا لان مايكروسوفت تعتقد ان حملة أبل أثرت بشكل سلبي على صورة الفيزتا!
The Wall Street Journal reports that Microsoft is hiring comedian Jerry Seinfeld for a series of new ads in which he will appear alongside Microsoft's Bill Gates.
The new ad effort is expected to use some variation of the slogan "Windows, Not Walls," according to several people familiar with the matter. Those people say the point is to stress breaking down barriers that prevent people and ideas from connecting.
The first ads are scheduled air starting on September 4th. Seinfeld is reportedly being paid $10 million for his work.
The ads are part of a $300 million advertising campaign from Microsoft in an attempt to overhaul their image. Specifically, one Microsoft executive has stated that Apple's 'Get a Mac' ad campaign has had a damaging effect on Vista's image.
"We've got a pretty noisy competitor out there," Brooks said of Apple whose "I'm a Mac... and I'm a PC," commercials criticize Windows Vista. "You know it. I know it. It's caused some impact. We're going to start countering it. They tell us it's the iWay or the highway. We think that's a sad message. Software out there is made to be compatible with your whole life."
Apple has continued their 'Get a Mac' ad campaign with more ads directly targeted at Vista.
شكلنا راح نشوف حرب دعائية ضخمة في المدة الجاية!!
عن نفسي مخطط للماك بوك من زمان, بس انتظر و اشوف لو إشاعة الماك الجدد صحيحة ولا لا!
