Some time-triangulation (which I shall not go into) has shown that Apple is expected to release its heavily anticipated iPhone 3.0 firmware at 10 am PT/1 pm ET. For those waiting at the edge of their chairs, here’s a cool little way of checking whether the firmware has been updated on Apple’s servers. 1) Fire [...]

Some were disappointed on Monday morning during the WWDC Keynote because Apple did not release a brand new iPhone with the highly rumored matte, rubberized backing. Moreover, this seemed to be a ‘speed bump’ to the iPhone that we always see with Macs. The iPhone “3G S”, where the “S” stands for “speed”, features an [...]

Right after the introduction of the new MacBook line-up during the WWDC keynote, Phil Schiller called on a bunch of Apple execs to help him talk about, preview, and demo the much-anticipated next-gen OS X cat, 10.6 Snow Leopard. The OS was introduced earlier last year as one that contained mainly refinements to Leopard (thus [...]

As I mentioned in a previous post, I placed an order for one of the new MacBook Pros the minute the Apple Stores came back online after the WWDC keynote. This is the low-end $1,699 15.4″ MBPs with a 2.53 GHz processor, 4 GB of 1066 MHz DDR3 RAM, 250 GB hard drive, the NVIDIA [...]

Phil Schiller on Monday at the WWDC Keynote unveiled a new line of MacBook Pros and effectively tidied up the previously slightly messy notebook line. Instead of writing everything out, here’s the before and after in bullet format: Before: MacBook Air 13.3″ 1.6 GHz MacBook White 13.3″ 2.13 GHz MacBook Unibody 13.3″ 2.0 GHz MacBook [...]

Phil Schiller took the stage Monday morning at the WWDC opening keynote to do what Apple execs always do at the start of these keynotes: comb through Apple sales numbers, Mac market share, and the existing product line. After barely 5 minutes into the keynote, Phil introduces new 15″ MacBook Pros with the built-in Li-Polymer [...]

You’ve seen many pics and many PhotoShop renditions of what the new iPhone may look like. But, there seems to be one that has appeared several times in different viewing angles. I’m pretty sure this one is right. It’s got that front-facing camera that looks like the iSights on the MacBooks and iMacs, a black [...]

“Reading Walt Mossberg’s review of the Palm Pre is amusing, because Mossberg obviously has the next iPhone and can’t talk about it. Read between the lines: He’s straining to compare the Pre to the un-announced iPhone on his desk. He wants to do it so badly. But he can’t, because that would steal Apple’s thunder,” [...]

At this point in time before WWDC, with the many rumors of a new iPhone, fake PhotoShop renditions of new software and hardware are common. However, these ones from a Chinese blog site and MacRumors seem very, very legitimate. First off is the highly rumored black bezel and matte/rubber backing. Personally I’m 50/50 on this, [...]
