This sounds good, though I probably can't afford a Mac anyway.

they want sleek "sexy" gadgets (like Apple's).
I never thought about it but the GBA SP does look Mac's G4 laptop. In my opinion, this is a good deal for both Nintendo and Apple. They are both considered "The Little Guy" in their respective markets and the two of them would make a lot of news. iNES5 will rock. Rock with a built in MODEM! I just remembered that that's why they call it the iMac. The built in MODEM! Crap, if this does happen, it had better not be too expensive....

IBM hate mac do they? how come the two have been working togethor on the Power PC chip since 1995? Thats a lot of trust for companies that hate each other. Apples G5 chips are made, right at IBM's big manufacturing plant. IBM and Microsoft have had working relationships have they? Yeah sure they did, back in the seventies. IBM got really annoyed with Microsoft back in the eighties and developed their own operating system, OS 2 Warp, unfourtunatly it never took off and IBM had to go back to packaging Windows to turn a profit.
yes the whole idea sounds quite convincing and as a Macintosh/Nintendo fanboy I'll go crazy if it's confirmed.

and makes processors for apple along with motorolla.
as far as operating systems go...well lately iv used both extensively...and Mac is becoming morel ike windows, and widnows is becoming more like mac with each respective software release. Whatr peopel really want is a really good hybrid. Im very used to both but there are things i like in one OS and don't like in another. I wish there was an interface everyoen could agree upon...a few years from now both OS will be very similar or even mroe radically different...but both more user friendly. Heres an idea....being able to change the layout default rapidly for your pending need. Macs are great for graphics...their layout makes the graphic work load faster(aside from the no default right clicking) and windows is great for programing...imagine if there was like a button you could click and it would change your sets and programs really quickly to suit your needs.....ill design it and sell it
...now i can animate it in flash too

Get ready to poop your pants, because over at Spong.com, they're reporting that MS and IBM are hard at work on the chipset for Xbox 2. Of course, Spong is a load of garbage, but its worth mentioning.

Apple doesn't have anything that Nintendo needs.(Many people
have previously said this)
Apple designs very little of it's own hardware. In fact, I believe they only design the chipsets which are used in various Apple computers. Beyond that everything else is a third party design. Nintendo has NEC/ATI to help design it's next console, why would Nintendo part with them to Apple who knows nothing about console design...
Post by: manunited4eva22 on October 27, 2003, 12:24:31 PM
Apple is not a hardware company like Nintendo would need, you are looking in the wrong direction on this one. How can apple be trusted in a partnership? How do you think Jobs got where he is today, he is every bit as a cut throat business man as every other fortune 500 company leader. Besides, what is apple going to provide for Nintendo? Other than what the Mac freaks will tell you, they design a very strict software base, mostly around user friendly products and music/audio production.
How is Apple a 'perfect partner' anyway. Apple just got overtaken by Linux for the second most OS used, thats not exactly highly competitive, and Apple has almost always been lacking in speed. Apple is a very niche product, very very niche at that, and honestly they are not ready to take a stab at Microsoft for the forseable future, Nintendo is not just quite ready to throw in the towel, not when they have the opportunity to get it all back.
Now lets get onto the shape crap, wow, that isn't even worth talking about. Take a class on marketing, you will see that shapes influence peoples thoughts, it is a basic marketing strategy. The fact that two companies do similar things shouldn't come as a surprise, or a sign for that matter, at all.
I've had enough for one day/end rant

Of course I agree with this:
The bottom line is that Apple and Nintendo are a match made in heaven....
Dream we shall.

That's what I think about those that think an Nintendo/Apple combo is legit with nothing more than fact stretching and coincidences to substantiate it.
