MacJury #920: Deliberations on the New 27″ iMac, Apple’s Acquisition of LaLa, the JooJoo Pad and More

0

The MacJury is called to order to discuss the new 27″ iMac and why, with its large display, i7 quad core CPU and hyperthreading, it is a game-changer in the desktop computer space. Is it just the best iMac yet, or a harbinger of a coming move to a true television-style device from Apple? Evidence is also heard on Apple’s purchase of LaLa and what it might mean for the future of Apple’s music business, how the North Carolina data center may figure in, and how it might just fit in to the much ballyhooed Apple Tablet. Speaking of tablets…the MacJury passes judgement on the JooJoo pad, the internet tablet that is rising from the ashes of the CrunchPad. The panel that gets all this done includes:
