Year: 2002

  • Press likes the iPod.

    Steve is proud of the Apple retail stores, hit the 25 stores by 2001-end-of-year mark (27, actually). Point of stores if to try to convert “the other 95%.” 40% of retail Mac buyers are new Mac owners. 800,000 visitors in December to all Apple stores.

  • I’ve got it… It’s a time machine.

    Yes, for our special Apple Hype Watch… segment, we have decoded Apple’s clues to bring you Monday’s mystery product a full two days early! A time machine is big, time is related to counting (no, not the awful puns in the Count of Monte Christo trailer), it’s beyond […]
