Product development suggestions - Touch display, blueray, carry case

I love Apple products, but I feel they are lagging behind when they could dominate the Desktop market by having touch screens and DVD drives that can play and write blue ray.  They are in the general market, and Apple excels in touch screen devices.  I like to have the best user interface with my systems and it just seems a shame the new iMac and the thunderbolt don't have touch versions.  Also, since the monitor outputs are so beautiful it, seems a shame I have to go 3rd party for a blueray drive.
These are 2 sources of irritation. 
My last suggestion is for a pelican style case for the iMac and the macmini/thunderbolt systems so they are easier to carry when I travel.  I travel a lot and don't like developing on a notebook.

Touch screens have been around on Macs for ages.  http://www.trolltouch.com/ has been one of the first to put it on a Mac.  A new vendor to the game is Lumiaview: http://www.lumiaview.com/index.php?m=content&c=store&f=detail

  • Zen Touch Sensitivity & Carrying Case Is

    I have had the pleasure of owning the Zen Touch for a little over two months and I am consistently impressed with the quality of playback. I do, however, have to agree with some reviews and posts that talk of the over sensitivity of the touch pad. I am quite familiar with the different points that control the speed of the scrolls, etc., but there is no question that this touch pad is way too sensiti've, no matter what the setting. My question is, can't this be corrected by a firmware download, and if it can, will it be forthcoming? My second issue is with the carrying case which is totally non-user friendly. When you look at other MP3 players (i.e. Dell Jukebox, Ipod, etc.), the manufacturers have made allowances for the controls to be accessed while the player is still in it's case, whereas Creative has not done that. I have contacted Creative twice on this matter and was first told there was going to be a new case available for the Zen Touch. When I followed up with a second call three weeks later, I was told there is no such item on the drawing boards. Anyone have a clue about the carrying case? Thanks. Happy Holidays to all.

    Thanks for your response. I am really being patient with the sensitivity issue and whenever I think I have it mastered; bang, the screens just have a mind of their own. I would think that Creative would address this issue at some point, since a lot of reviewers have mentioned this "drawback." I can li've with it. I agree with you about the case being bulky. In addition to not having access to the controls or being able to see the screen, I have found that the case does not really stay on the belt securely. I have found that for piece of mind, I will rest it on something or clip it on the back of the airplane seat in front of me. I did treat myself to a pair of the new Bose noise suppressing headphones. Can't hear the engines on the plane and the Zen Touch plays music as if you were in the front row of a music hall. Outstanding!!!!

  • My ipod touch has developed a spotty display

    my ipod touch has developed a spotty display - is there anything I can do about this?

    I will pick up on this topic. My daughter dropped her iPod Touch 4th generation. Now there is a multi-colored spot on the left part of the screen. It seems as though the screen still works underneath the spot, but nevertheless the spot has to go.
    I was considering buying one of those kits and replacing the screen, but I wonder if it might be a bigger problem than that. The screen is not cracked in any way - just has that splotch.
    Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.

  • Do carry cases for Macbook Pro 17" exist?

    Having purchased two Pro 17" models I wanted carry cases to house/transport them. Apple Store offered 30 choices - chose LeBag Pro 17 as it was on offer. It duly arrives but the Mac doesn't fit. I call customer services who tell me there is a known problem as new MacBook is 10th of an inch bigger than any previous models. I ask if they can swap for another suitable product and they claim they don't stock any - inspite of listing 30 on the site!! I query this and they don't have an answer. So does anyone know of a bag that will carry a 17"model safely?

    I’ve been purchasing and reviewing Bags for the MacBook Pro since March and I can attest to the quality, fit and finish of the Italian designs by Tucano. From their plush suede sleeve with display protector, to the “his” or “her” bags for general-purpose carry, these offerings are among the finest bags I’ve seen. In any event, here a few examples for you to see.

  • Magnetic Carry Case + Proximity Sensor Problem

    I noticed a problem with magnetic carry case and the proximity sensor being disabled in 10.1 for my Z10 STL100-3 as well as my wife's STL100-1.
    When removing the phone from the case, to make or answer a call, the sensor is disabled. Thus, you easily touch the keys with your face. When NOT using the magnetic carry case, no issue. Seems like the magnetic sensor was disabling the proximity sensor.
    Now, using 10.2, it appears the problem has been resolved. But will monitor over the next few days.

    Who installed the new screen? You should take the phone back to them and have them fix it.

  • Develop does not display

    Just finished working on a job, removed it from the library like normal.
    Imported the next job, now Develop does not display the photos that are imported, it's just gray.
    Lightroom 2.2 523352
    XP Pro
    4GB RAM
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled, still the same, nothing is displayed in the Develop module.
    Suggestions please.
    Cheers :)

    More information. If I click on the arrow in the right of the screen to hide the Develop settings Quick Develop information bar (it's not displayed, just gray), then the picture displays.
    In the Library for whatever reason the Quick Develop information bar is in fact displaying, when it never used to.
    Cheers :)

  • Rough BOM at the time of product development

    dear expert:
    excuse my nascent approach. i dont know how to address this but my client is asking to fullfill the below requirement
    we are Apparel manufacturing company. as per our scenerio we pass a long development period approx 6 months before receiving confirm sales order. we need to create preliminary or rough BOM at this stage to manage the sudden load of information. as during the development time we just got little information about the product and it is subject to change is it possible to create a rough BOM and update it continuously as and when required with proper material code and finally when we are sure we need to confirm it as final BOM.
    please suggest.
    best regards
    javed iqbal

    Dear
    We are dealing this kind scinario in small project business where total product developement takes mini 4-5 motnhs and based on design BOM is not confirmed 100% .
    So we do estomation through Quotation stage -VA21 where we follow Unit costing methodology with variable and item details based on the customer requirement.Some time we also create Engineering BOM based on the design lay out and after final approval and contractual aggrement , we logg sales order for cost roll up based on the approve BOM and routing .There may be  lot consumables as well low cost material required  , which we add directly at Production order but the most crtifcal items are in Qoutation or estimation stage  /Engineering BOM.
    But if you want to create BOM at the intial stage and subsequently , want to trace the changes doen then you should adop ECM ( Engineeting Change Management ) .For engineering change management to be activated you need to define in
    modification parameters that ECM is to be active.

  • Best carrying case for 17" PB?

    I'll be getting a 17" Powerbook soon and am curious about a suitable carrying case. I have narrowed it down to the Chrome Kremlin Bike Messenger Bag and the Crumpler Cashmere Blazer Messenger Bag. Both say that they accomodate 17" laptops but I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions about these or other cases? I am a graduate student so I need to carry my entire life with me. thanks.

    I suggest the timbuk2 bags made to fit the 17" powerbook. theyre a little pricey but are practically indestructible, look super cool and fit my powerbook in a cozy little corduroy pocket. i highly recommend all the timbuk2 messenger bags. here's a link:

    they have other options and bag types as well. you can also find them on ebay off and on and save some cash.

  • Need carrying case for MUV

    I'm looking for a carrying case for my MUVO^2. I'd like to be able to secure it at my waist for running and working out. The only case that I've seen is one made by Case Logic (not specific for MUVO^2) that straps to your arm. Has anyone found a good case that might even allow you to access the buttons without removing the player from the case entirely?
    Thanks.

  • Carrying case for 6300

    Has anyone found a suitable carrying case for the 6300? All the cases I have looked are not thin enough, resulting in the phone moving around within the case. Suggestions please!

    No idea if it's really genuine Nokia, as ebay sellers have twisted the meaning of "OEM" these days. But it does look nice. I should receive it next week or so. Kinda wish it had a clip, but it's the nicest solution I've seen so far.

  • Making a carrying case for a rMBP 15"

    I don't carry my 2013 rMBP 15" very much but it makes sense to have a case capable of effectively protecting it when I do. Most I've seen don't offer a meaningfully snug fit and the rMBP seems to be restrained largely by having other stuff squeezed around it and/or getting grabbed and compressed by a Velcro strap. There isn't that much clearance between the screen's face and the keyboard so restraining it that way doesn't sound like a good idea.
    Apple apparently doesn't think so either, since, in the box it's sold in, there's a form-fitting plastic shell that provides impact protection around the edges and allows the Mac to nest fully and snugly into it; i.e., the Mac doesn't stick out above the edges of that plastic shell. The box cover then holds everything  in place. I haven't seen a carrying case that provides that kind of protection.
    But you can make one. (Note that the following applies only to the rMBP 15". It's likely that something similar can be done for standard MBP's of varying sizes and the rMBP 13" with a different carrying case, but my only experience is with my own Mac.)
    Best Buy is currently selling an Init Laptop Briefcase, Model NT-NB101-13 and their SKU 5102223, which has a compartment into which the 15" rMBP fits rather sloppily, nothing like Apple's form-fitting shell. But, if you pry that shell out of Apple's box (it's attached to the box with double-sided tape on the back of the shell), the shell fits perfectly into the Init case. A Velcro strap then closes over the Mac in the shell and holds it in place without squeezing it. I'm sure that case is available elsewhere but Best Buy is where I got it the last time it was on sale.
    I figure if the shell's protection is good enough for Apple, it's good enough for me.

    Simple put your Mac into any good notebook bag and don't bang it around. Buy some foam and fit it into the bad.
    An even simpler solution is to keep it in one place.
    Any carrying case, except perhaps the Pelican, doesn't make the rMBP indestructible, and not banging it around is so obvious it shouldn't even need to be mentioned (except in a world where people drink their coffee and soda over open laptops and then ask what to do when the drink is spilled). But the Apple insert was designed to protect the Mac that arrived in it, so carrying it over into a case it fits tightly in avoids having to find, choose, and fashion foam of the proper density to get adequate protection. It also avoids the expense.
    As it happens, I checked out what Apple had for sale for its laptops in the local Apple Store, and while the cases were certainly well made, none offered a snug fit without some kind of restraining strap, and the strap didn't provide restraint in all directions. Your suggestion to add foam would, but I went with a custom fit solution, free from Apple.
