MacBook Air - New To The Apple Line-Up!

New to the scene is the MacBook Air- from Apple, of course. The MacBook Air does not even compare to other notebook computers - it is so much better! It is so thin - it's nearly invisible. Weighing in at only 3 pounds, it is so sleek and portable that you really can take it everywhere you go without a hassle.
Built for wireless with 802.11n Wi-Fi and a 13.3 inch screen - for its size, the MacBook Air is still a very powerful business tool. Like the touch technology built into the Apple iPhone and the iPod Touch, this notebook computer is equipped with a multi-touch trackpad that, according to Apple's website, lets you "pinch, swipe or rotate to zoom in on text, advance through a photo album, or adjust an image".
Another very cool and useful feature is the built-in iSight Camera - which is so easy to use that, combined with the iChat software, makes video chatting easy - at home or on the go. Imagine being able to whip out your notebook and have a conference on the fly - it's so easy!
If any of you have gotten your hands on the new MacBook Air - please post a comment to tell us what you think of your new notebook computer. We'd love to hear how all of the new features make the MacBook Air innovative and different from everything else out there!

Second-gen iPhone Almost Ready And Apple TV To Be Updated

The rumor is that Apple has several new products lined up for 2008, which include an updated second-gen iPhone that is in its final design phase. The new iPhone is expected to have a different look and 3G technology, as promised. The buzz on technology blogs is that the next Apple iPhone will launch sometime during the second half of the year, but that the company will placate waiting consumers with a smaller upgrade with more flash memory earlier in the year. Wooo-Hoooo! Although I'd be mad if I bought mine in the early half of the year and then a new fancy one came out for the same price.

Apple is also set to refresh its entire Mac line in 2008, as well as make updates to Apple TV. I guess we'll see what happens!

How many of you are holding out on buying the iPhone until the next one comes out in 2008? Post a comment to let us know!

Apple To Introduce 3G iPhone

AT&T has confirmed there will be a new 3G model of the Apple iPhone coming soon! This is very exciting because, as if the iPhone weren't already cool enough, it is now being upgraded with 3G technology (third generation wireless networks) - which can download files and websites from the internet at a much faster rate than the existing iPhone.

It is supposed to come out in 2008, so if you have been thinking about buying an iPhone - you may want to wait just a while for this model. This new upgrade is as a result of Apple's goal of selling 10 million iPhones in 2008.


You think they can meet that goal? Are you planning on buying an iPhone? Post a comment to let us know!

iPhone Commercials

I've been keeping an eye on the series of new iPhone Commercials because I like how they demonstrate what you can do with the Apple iPhone. But what I was noticing about the tv commercials instead is that the majority (so far all but one) are all geared toward men. I did finally see one that Apple calls 'The Winger' about a female ballet dancer who uses her iPhone to multi-task.

Now, I'm not saying that Apple is being sexist, but maybe they are unaware of how attached women get to their cell phones. We need more advertising for the Apple iPhone that is targeted toward us! I get that these commercials are all from real people who submitted stories about why they like their iPhones so much, but there had to be more than just one woman!

And all I am saying is that if Apple would pay attention, they would see how much women care about their phones. For example, a man will buy a plain old phone, the basic accessories, and the cheapest case he can find. Quite the opposite, a woman will go out of her way and pay more for a pink phone, accessorize the hell out of it with rhinestones and glitter, and then sport it like it's a pair of earrings.

Maybe I'm the only one who feels like this though. You can go one and watch them all yourself on the Apple iPhone website. Why don't you tell us what you think? Feel free to post a comment and let us know!

I bet there are things about your Apple iPhone that you didn't know! While snooping around in a few iPhone forums, I found out some very interesting facts that I wanted to share with you.
The first thing is that Apple has a patent on their touch screen display. I think their idea is very cool, but was unaware that it needed a patent. The iPhone is the only electronic device where you can stretch things, shrink things, and move items on the screen with your index finger and thumb. Who knew?
The second cool thing I found out is the iPhone is only able to be used by humans. This cracked me up! It is a fact that the iPhone only recognizes human skin on the screen. So if you are irresponsible with your phone and leave it on the floor, and if by chance your pet happens to step on it, they can't make a phone call.
Last but not least - and I was very surprised by this - the iPhone is not equipped with G.P.S. Google Maps works really well on the phone, but just like on a regular computer, you do have to enter a starting point. From what I read, Apple is supposed to change this with the next version of the phone, however.
So, there you have it. I personally do not own an iPhone, so if there are other interesting facts that you found out about them - particularly if you own one - please feel free to comment and let us know what they are!
