More on Snow Leopard

* More on Snow Leopard

After last week's Worldwide Developers' Conference, we now know
that Snow Leopard will cost Leopard users $29 ($49 for the family
pack) when it ships in September. But what do you get for your
$29? Are there more features than what Apple had previously
announced since first confirming Snow Leopard a year ago?

If you followed any of the WWDC keynote coverage, you know the
answer to that question is yes. In addition to Snow Leopard's
already-known features, Apple revealed some very interesting
things about the next major OS X release. I detail them all at
Macworld.com.

What's new in iPhone 3.0
Apple showed off a number of the new features coming in iPhone

The MacBook turns Pro
On Monday, Apple overhauled its entire laptop line. Dan Frakes

for performance rather than having to trade features for lower
price.

MIcrosoft loses one battle- is Apple next?

If Apple does not win on a violation of touch screen technology, they will owe a lot of money. How much your guess is as good as mine. The question really is did Apple know that it knowingly was impinging upon copyrighted technology?

Blackberry and now their virtual keyboard

I don't really know why Blackberry owners are such fanatics about these devices. One of the parts of these devices as well as the Palm and others, has been the keyboard which for me is almost useless and for me makes not tense. I don't text. My finders are too big. How do you access the numbers or etc ? Even Sprint did not know how to access the virtual keyboard on my Palm. Go figure. There are other reasons possibly. But the makers saw how popular the iPhone is getting and it is threatening their turf. So one of the things is for a virtual keyboard. It will be interesting to know if iPhone still surges, takes away even more business sales and threatens Blackberries.

Why is Apple doing this? Wallmart will sell iPhone

I am not really sure why Apple doing this. Apple still can sell the iPhone in the Apple stores and is doing well with it so far. Maybe its a "saturate the market thing" so more iPhones will sold now and go up against in more places against the Blackberry, Sprint phone and the new Google phone.
