While suits from
Psystar and Apple are currently attempting to
work things out via
alternative dispute resolution, the former company is doing something the latter company won't: offer OS X-capable machines with built-in Blu-ray and NVIDIA's GeForce 9800GT. Showing no mercy whatsoever in a recent release, Psystar calls Steve Jobs out for his controversial "
bag of hurt" comment and proceeds to inform the general public that it's "
now shipping" OS X-compatible PCs (better known as
Open Computers) with Blu-ray optical drives and the GeForce 9800GT GPU. Based on pricing figures gathered from the company's website, a 6x Blu-ray writer is a $310 upgrade over a dual-layer DVD burner, while the 512MB GeForce 9800GT will set you back $200 more than the 8600GT. Whatcha got to say now, Steve? Huh? Huh?

Entelligence is a column by technology strategist and author Michael Gartenberg, a man whose desire for a delicious cup of coffee and a quality New York bagel is dwarfed only by his passion for tech. In these articles, he'll explore where our industry is and where it's going -- on both micro and macro levels -- with the unique wit and insight only he can provide.
Apple may have validated the tablet market with the successful launch of the iPad, but the competition won't simply cede that space to Cupertino. From the
Samsung Galaxy Tab and a host of other Android-based products, to HP's ethereal Slate and rumored WebOS tablet to a potential "BlackPad" from RIM, everyone wants a piece of the tablet market. The net result? We're going to see a whole host of devices starting in the fourth quarter of this year well into the first quarter of 2011, and based on what we've seen from various public leaks and vendor conversations, these products are going to be all over the place. Sadly, it appears many haven't learned the lessons why 'tweener devices failed in the past, and most of these devices will not do well in the market. Many of these efforts appear rushed to market before the holidays and few will be remembered by this time next year. It's one thing to clone a successful product but imperfect clones usually tend to work out for the worst.
