Apple Introduces New Power Mac G4 Cube With CD-RW & iTunesMACWORLD EXPO, TOKYO—February 22, 2001—Apple® today introduced a new Power Mac™ G4 Cube with a slot-loading CD-RW drive and iTunes, Apple’s amazing new “jukebox” software. The new G4 Cube lets users make digital movies, create and manage their own music library, and burn their own custom audio CDs. “The powerful and stunning G4 Cube is now even more irresistible with the addition of a CD-RW drive and iTunes,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “Now you can have the combination of G4 power, stunning design, and the most amazing entertainment center in the world with iMovie 2 and iTunes.” The Power Mac G4 Cube’s slot-loading CD-RW drive is located on top for easy access, and a pair of Apple designed Harman Kardon speakers are included for great sound when using Apple’s iTunes music “jukebox” software. The Power Mac G4 Cube now comes standard with 128MB RAM, up from 64MB in previous models. iTunes, which has been downloaded more than 750,000 times since its debut in January, lets users import songs from their favorite CDs into their computer’s hard drive; compress the files into the popular MP3 format; organize their music using powerful yet easy to use searching, browsing, and play list features; watch stunning visualizations on their computer screen; and create custom music CDs with the new G4 Cube’s CD-RW drive. The G4 Cube comes preinstalled with Apple’s iMovie™ 2, the latest version of the world’s most popular, easy-to-use consumer digital video editing software, and offers two FireWire® ports for easy connection to a variety of high-speed peripherals such as digital camcorders and digital cameras. Movies can be saved back to the camcorder, copied to videotape or posted to a user’s own website using iTools, Apple’s suite of free Internet services. The G4 Cube uses a revolutionary cooling design that does not require a fan, so it runs in virtual silence. The Cube’s entire electronics assembly can be easily lifted out of its enclosure within seconds, providing access to every major component and allowing the easy addition of memory or an optional AirPort™ card. AirPort, Apple’s revolutionary wireless networking solution, provides totally untethered Internet access at speeds up to 11 megabits per second. Apple today also announced that its award-winning, 22 inch, flat panel Apple Cinema Display™ is now immediately available for an amazing $2,999 (US), down from an original price of $3,999 (US). The largest all-digital LCD flat panel display ever brought to market, it offers a pure digital interface, an extra wide viewing angle and support for true 16.7 million saturated colors. Apple’s family of displays are the perfect complement to the new G4 Cube, and also include the 17 inch (16 inch viewable) Apple Studio Display™ CRT, and the 15 inch Apple Studio Display flat panel. All three Apple displays have a two-port powered USB hub for convenient connection to desktop USB devices; and each utilizes the Apple Display Connector, an innovative new cable and connector that carries analog and digital video signals, USB data and display power over a single cable and connector.
