Why Apple's 27" LED Cinema Display is a Mistake

Apple has got to either shrink the size or the price of the $999 27" LED Cinema Display. Here's why it can't get paired with any Mac:

Mac Mini- A Mac Mini plus a 27" LED Cinema Display costs $1,699. For $100 less, you could get the 27" iMac, which has the same size display as well as WAY better tech specs

iMac 21.5"- That would cost you $2,199. For a goood $600 less, you could get the 27" iMac, with the same specs and the same size display.

iMac 27"- Excuse me, but that already has a 27" display.

Mac Pro - Buying one already costs around $3,000. Are you sure you're going to add an extra $1,000 to that?!

MacBook - If you're getting a MacBook (the cheapest Mac laptop), you must be trying to save money. And then spending another thousand bucks for a 27" display? Not too money-saving.

MacBook Air 11" - If the screen is too small, get the 13" MacBook Air. And that costs $1,400. Adding an extra $1,000? Not such a good idea.

MacBook Air 13" - Er... that costs $2,400?!

MacBook Pro 13" -  If you aren't carrying it around more than 3 times a week, save $400 by going for the 15" MacBook Pro. The screen there is pretty big. While if you do carry it around more than 3 times a week, this is gonna cost you $2,200, and you should get the 13" MacBook Air. But pairing the MacBook Air 13" with a 27" LED Cinema Display costs $2,400.

MacBook Pro 15" or 17" - The screens are mega enough on these MacBooks. Oh, and it will cost you $2,800 or $3,300, depending on your size.

Why Apple Shouldn't have made the iPod Nano 6G

Apple made a huge mistake when they introduced the Nano 6G. They took away the speaker, the video playback ability, the video camera, the larger screen, the clickwheel, Cover Flow, just to make it half the size. Well, if you're looking for a small iPod, there's the iPod shuffle right under your nose! Oh, and it costs three times less. The Nano looks like iOS, but actually there's no apps and you can't download apps. And by the way, paying just $80 gives you a much bigger screen capable of watching video, an HD video camera, a front-facing camera, an actual app store, and internet connection. It's called the iPod Touch. Hmmm... which is a better deal? Apple's always seemed to make the best moves, but this, unfortunately, is their first mistake.
