“Apple Computer Inc. is on track to ship Intel-based computers as targeted by June 2006, Chief Executive Steve Jobs said on Tuesday. ‘We are on track to do that,’ Jobs told a news conference in Paris, referring to the plan the company announced in June this year,” Reuters reports. In addition, “Jobs said Apple has a 4.5 percent share of the PC market in the United States and a 3 percent share globally.”

You guys are running this site from Paris at the moment?
Or just got up early?
Steve is in Paris? I thought there was no keynote…
SJ was quoted several weeks ago as saying 5% was a “glass ceiling.”
Remember this well. Apple will put a most of its marketig effort into other revenue streams (iPod, digital content distribution, .Mac, iLife, Leopard).
He feels he’s done about as well as he can with Mac sales. Hell the OS is 4 years ahead of XP, and still can’t crack 5%? Jeez.
Hey, that doesn’t mean SJ can’t go and enjoy himself in the City of Lights!!

If they sold a cheap package and got into retail chains a lot of people would probably get home and realize they had macs. They sell boutique style and Apple stuff is hard to get out of the bug city areas. I don’t have an Apple store anywhere near me. So I go to best buy and they have mini’s with 256 meg of ram. No wonder no one buys them. I’m surprised OS X even gets to a desktop with 256. So people around here try them out and they think all macs suck now because the mini with 256 is sitting there paging in and out of disk to do every little thing. Good going Apple. It’s stupid shit like that that makes me think this might be my last Powerbook wether I like it or not.
Good show!!!
“By June 26?” Is that some kind of arcane MDN shorthand for June 2006?
Does Steve speak French?
Hey Spaghetti Legs.
Long live the CFL.
Real football.
…. and Garney Henley for the Schenley!
LOL!
Hey Al & Spaghetti legs, You lot play ‘football’ with your hands. Weird!!
Brits and the rest of the world, play football with their feet. Amazing.
if you guys knew how much revenue this site generated with all the ad-based banners and apple tie-ins, you’d understand how MDN is in Paris.
why the hell didnt those numbnut journos ask them WHY apple are blindly not advertising its OS / Hardware?!?!
ANSWER THAT JOBS & CHUBBY!!!
And all the kick-back money generated by linking to Endrele, Thurott, and other Windows sites….
Powerbooks only for the first June release….
Desktops Jan 2007….
Either way it is a long time….but I am waiting.
Sure hope we aren´t disappointed and find out that aps run faster on Windows Intel than Apple Intel.
June 2006???
I thought it was supposed to be January 2006.
Why the 6 months (at least) slippage?
Remember IBM was taking too long…now Intel…
Next we will get the rumor of (whisper) problems with Intel chips or OSX does not run fast on Intel chips…
more delays…
Meanwhile, 15 new versions of iPods will come out.
June 2006 = WWDC.
He said at WWDC 2005 that they’d be shipping Intel based boxes “by this time next year” (paraphrased, but that’s the gist of it).
Anyone who thought anything else was deluding themselves. January! Get real. Steve would have said “By Macworld” if he’d meant January. I would guess the earliest we’d see the boxes would be May.
Thus, there is no slippage, none whatsoever. It’s been rumour site forums (i.e. not the reporting on the sites themselves) which have led you to believe January is a possibility…. people are presuming that “by June 2006” can mean anytime before… and Macworld was their best guess since it’s a big event. They are wrong.
Ho Hexcuses –
not only are you wrong – (its always been june 06)
but instead of waiting or finding out if you were – you just slated intel / apple for no reason – declaring that they are ‘late’ based on something you admit you dont even know to be correct or not.
you’re an idiot.
If you recall, when no keynote was announced, it was also announced that Steve and his staff would be available at the Expo for interviews.
re: “Brits and the rest of the world, play football with their feet. Amazing.”
Doesn’t matter that they call soccer “football”
Can’t watch it for more than 15 minutes without falling asleep, so…….
There is one exception; when a friends kids are playing, I can get through a full game, but that is about it. If the kids mom is single, good looking and has a great personality.
Call me uncultured,( and some of you will) , but have to go, going to watch a rerun of a classic NFL game.
Let the flames begin!
You said it. I agree, you’re suffering from a lack of culture.
Not a flame, just the facts ma’am.
They don’t call soccer, football. You lot call it soccer—it’s football!!!
I may not be “cultured” but I knew enough about human nature to know how to push your button, and get you to reply.
Although, I did predict it would take 15 minutes for the 1st reply to my post and it did take 35 minutes. Well, can’t win them all.
Just practicing the verbal version of a martial arts concept.
Back to football
