Assorted Apple Analysis

In advance of Steve's keynote yesterday, BusinessWeek published a bigass "Tech Special Report" on Apple in the current issue, comprised of seven articles under the headline Apple at the Crossroads. They've since added three more stories - a keynote report on Apple's Intel, iPod Revelations, a column on The Media's Crush on Apple, and analysis regarding Should Apple Open Up? Twelve articles on Apple in two days. In BusinessWeek. (And no, even I haven't bothered to read them all, though the last one is worth a look.)

Oh, and here's one I missed on $200 iPod jeans from Levi's and other forthcoming iPod apparel, including the Tunebuckle - yes, a belt buckle that holds an iPod nano. (Apparently this is what happens when you sell 42 million of something. Madness.)

Meanwhile, Unsanity compares the MacBook Pro to the PowerBook G4, in case you're weighing your options. (Clearly it's a transitional product.)

Finally, The Guardian has a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at Steve's keynotes (written by a former Apple insider) entitled Behind the Magic Curtain, while The Joy of Tech offers their own take on what's really behind a Steve Jobs keynote.

P.S.: Google Earth for Mac OS X!
