New Macbook Pro Core i5 and i7

At last, at last! Apple finally catches up and upgrades their Macbook Pro 15″ and 17″ line with Core i5 and Core i7 Intel chips. Apple also claims to have boosted battery life all the way up to 10 hours from the machines. The graphics cards also got a boost sporting NVIDIA’s GeForce GT 330M graphics. This new line of Pros are very fast and Apple claims to be “50 percent faster than the previous systems”.

This update has been long awaited and if you have followed Apples history you would know that everybody waits until April to buy an Apple computer. My Pro is about 12 months old so I’ll wait till next year to grab mine.

If you bought one of these amazing machines, please drop us a line in the comment section and tell us what you think!

Here is a quick overview of OS 4.0 for the iPhone. There are numberous new features included in the new iPhone operating system, which won’t hit the market for some time yet. “iPhone OS 4 is the fourth major release of the world’s most advanced mobile operating system,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “We’re delivering over 100 new features, including multitasking, folders, a unified inbox, deeper Enterprise support, and an iPhone version of our iBooks reader and online iBookstore.”

1. Multitasking -  Finally, the iPhone can multitask. What does this mean? It means the iPHone can now run multiple apps in the background, and also allow apps running the background to still access resources like the internet or network connection. This is been the most awaited development in the iPhone OS since the iPhone came out. Not including multi-tasking has also been described as a major mistake with the launch of the iPad

2. Improved Mail -  Apple is improving their built-in mail system. Some of the improvements include a unified mailbox, that allows users to access mail form multiple accounts in one place without having to switch between accounts on their phone. The iPhone will also support exchange accounts, including syncing with google calendars.

3. Bluetooth Keyboard Support  - The iPhone now supports the use of an external bluetooth keyboard.
