Apple to dump IBM for Intel

CNet is reporting the announcement will come Monday at the WWDC

According to CNet apple will transition lower end machines, like the Mini by mid-2006 with high end models following a year later.

Wired has an article saying Apple will leverage QuickTransit from Transitive. Transitive's QuickTransit allows any software to run on any hardware with no performance hit, or so the company claims.

Can believe Apple would do this to developers after the switch to Cocoa

I personally don't see a switch, but maybe a new device or specialty technology, WiMax networking support.

Apple's settles iPod battery class action

Apple will extend its warranty from one to two years for newer-generation iPods that came with dock connectors and were purchased before May 31, 2004. If batteries in those devices fail within the extended warranty time, Apple will replace either the battery or the iPod for free--or provide a $50 credit toward any Apple merchandise from its online and brick-and-mortar stores.

For consumers who experienced battery failure with previous-generation iPods, Apple will offer the $50 store credit or $25 in cash. Customers who have paid Apple to repair their iPod battery within two years of purchasing the device are eligible for a $50 cash refund.
