Bluetooth comes to the Mac, starting in April. With Bluetooth technology for Mac OS X, you can link your Palm OS-based handheld device, Bluetooth-enabled cell phone and peripherals with your PowerBook G4, iBook, Power Mac G4 or iMac — and do it wirelessly, within a 30-foot range. Apple's support for Bluetooth includes free Bluetooth software and a Bluetooth USB adapter ($49). [See also this related announcement about a Palm Bluetooth Card.]
Apple In Volume Production of New iMacs; $100 price increase From a press release: Steve Jobs told the Macworld crowd: "Customer demand for the new iMac has been off the charts and we have simply been unable to keep up with it. We are now in volume production, shipping over 5,000 new iMacs per day, and hope to catch up with demand soon." Apple also announced that due to significant increases in component costs for memory and LCD flat-panel displays, the company will increase the price of all new iMac models by $100 (US).
