The King of The Jungle

At $29.99 Apple's roll out of a new OS is not just reasonable but it undercuts its Windows counterpart. With over 250 new functions critics suggesting that Lion is the equivalent of a Windows Service Pack can be written off. Some pretty cool functions such as iCloud integration, Launchpad, and the ability to boot directly into Safari are interesting functionality increases that all OS X uses will welcome.

The Cloud just got exciting


Some may remind you that Google have done all this years ago, and as someone who uses Google Doc's regularly I fail to understand why it took Apple so long to jump on the bandwagon, the concept has long been perfectly formed just for Apple. Simplicity via wireless integration allows owners of Apple products to absorb all their data on all their devices, from their Macs to their iPods and from their iPods to their iPads. All the possibilities are endless, If you didnt think a cloud could have a silver lining, Apple have just gone and proven you wrong, the only question remains is how cautious will the public be over putting their valuable data online, especially after the like of Sony, Citigroup and even the big boy on the block Google have all been victims to cyber crime.

Apple - Back to the Mac

So who else noticed that little facetime icon hideing away in the OS X dock during the unveiling of iMovie 11 Engadget sure did : )

That was the first thing that made me smile, next stop 10.7 aka Lion, I don't expect to see a revamp on the visual elements of the OS but I'm sure Apple have done what it does best and the OS framework will sparkle with little delights. Apple comfirmed that all its R&D on projects for the iPhone and later the iPad would be re-emerging in some way, shape or form in OS 10.7.
Who know maybe we will be blessed with a bunch of new touch gestures, touch screen iMacs or new breed of Macbook Pros with touch sensitive screen. If that is the case then my first question will be: how are you to keep all those grotty fingerprints off your screen?

...Microfiber cloth anyone?

The other major highlight of this event has been Apple's new Macbook Air, is it me or is it getting more are more like a super bad ass netbook. Granted Apple are pumping it full of electrical steroids to keep it more nippy then all other netbook counterparts, but with the induction of a 10" model, you can forgive me for thinking that this is Apples offering for those netbook fans out there.

Check out Engadget for a more through analysis, as here I have just keep it sweet and short

Iphone 4... from Rags to Riches



Even with all the commotion, the iPhone 4 seems to be becoming the most profitable gadget to be blessed with an Apple logo. A simple sorry from Mr Jobs has calmed the whole industry and as time goes on, it seems as if more and more people are becoming iPhone sheep, with 1.5 million sales estimated on launch day itself, its easy to understand how Apples profits can see rises for a forth quarter in succession. The good news is that there seems to be some kind of knock on effect, with Vodaphone reporting that service revenue's had risen on iPhone demand. What this really tells us is that Apple is finding its way into out hands by giving us everything we desire allowing for the love affair to continue on. I'll go out on a limb and say that most people who own an iPhone probably will not go out and spend close to $2000 for a Macbook Pro but as long as it remains fashionable to own an iPhone they will pay $100 each month to make and receive calls on the worlds most sort after phone. So that then leads us to question, for how much longer can Apple keep charging extortionate amounts of money? All we can say is for the near future there will be no let in Apples profits as long as it keeps doing that which it is.
