New MacBook Airs Now Available

Apple just launched its two new MacBook Airs today. At first glance, it seems like they have made it even thinner by removing some of the thickness at the bottom of the trackpad. The rest of of it looks pretty much the same though. Also, the MacBook Air now comes in an 11.6" and a 13.3" model.

Take a look at the video and the specs at the Apple Wesbite.

Head-to-head: Kindle vs. Apple

This is a video about Amazon marketing their Kindle as anti-glare and superior to its competitor, the iPad.

The implicit message is also that Kindle is sexier than the iPad as shown from the hot babe vs. the geek. The Kindle is also marketed as more user friendly since it doesn't take a geek to use it.

New Nike+ App for iPhone!

I am so going to buy this new app! Finally something that doesn't require Nike+ shoes or the chip that they had.

Perhaps this is just the motivation I need to start running...

Ping?

The whole world is talking about Ping right now, and Apple apparently said that it will be immediately available to 20 million people in 23 countries. Well, I'm not seeing it here in Singapore. Hell, I'm not even seeing iTunes 10 anywhere!

That said, when it actually comes, I am so gonna miss the CD on my iTunes =(

New iPod Touch with Camera and Apple A4 Processor!

The new iPod Touch has front and rear facing cameras! That plus the fact that it has an Apple A4 processor that also powers the iPad and iPhone 4. Looking great as usual!

But then again, it seems like the gap between the iPod and iPhone are narrowing. Why still use an iPod then? You know, when I was at an Apple store in Bugis the other day, they don't even sell iPod touch covers anymore. Is the iPod coming to an end?

Why the Apple A4 is the iPod Touch's Killer Feature

iPhone 2 Leaks

Can it be? Will Apple announce the iPhone 2 on Monday's WWDC keynote?! I certainly hope so! The new one seems to adopt a matte black back cover as compared to the shiny silver (think scratch prone) one we have now.

I certainly hope that the rumours of the upgrades (5 MP camera, GPS, 3G) are true because iPhone just seemed so disappointing despite all the hype that was generated. Hopefully this one lives up to everything we hope for! If, that is, it comes out at all...

Fingers crossed!

Apple iPhone!!

What screams to blogosphere today? The Apple iPhone of course!!! Actually it was more like yesterday, but I weren't logged in to see. This Apple maniac is excited!! BUY BUY BUY

"iPhone combines three products — a revolutionary mobile phone, a widescreen iPod with touch controls, and a breakthrough Internet communications device with desktop-class email, web browsing, maps, and searching — into one small and lightweight handheld device. iPhone also introduces an entirely new user interface based on a large multi-touch display and pioneering new software, letting you control everything with just your fingers. So it ushers in an era of software power and sophistication never before seen in a mobile device, completely redefining what you can do on a mobile phone."

Yes, the iPhone is an iPod, a video player, an internet surfing device, a phone, a blackberry, a PDA, a camera.. everything!

But it has has only one Home button, and is entirely touchscreen. Somehow that worries me. The fact that the screen is so wide also means that it stands a higher chance to get scratched.

Not to mention the amount of grease that would be transferred from my face to the phone! Poor dear..

There was also some issue about the battery life. Seems to be really short for such a powerful device. 5 hours?!

I personally really like the sms function though. Seems like it tracks sms according to individual persons so you can totally follow the sms conversation. That's cool!

The sensors also work so that the phone can detect it when u put it near your ear so that the phone saves battery by turning off the light.

The major attraction is of course the design of the phone, and the fact that the interface is so freaking gorgeous. How did they even think about it?

The cost of this tech mammoth is gonna be about one grand, according to Mr Brown's calculations.

But who cares? I'm gonna so get it!!!!! Unfortunately, we would all have to wait until 2008 until it gets to Singapore. What the? Can't they send them over faster? All it takes is a plane! Not like Singapore Customs will stop you from selling such a chio item here!
