We're already gearing up for
Macworld '08, wondering what surprises
Steve Jobs will have hiding up his sleeve this time around. With all the craziness surrounding the
iPhone last year, I'm not expecting any major, life-altering announcements this year, although you just never know with Jobs. According to
MacRumors, a new 3G iPhone is expected to hit store shelves by May or June, which I'm sure we'll get a sneak peek of at Macworld.
The June Macworld features a
Mac 911 section Q and A on dealing with iPhoto’s trash and unless you are the biggest Mac geek ever (cough
macgirl) I highly suggest you check it out.
So the rumor that
Apple had postponed the shipment date of Apple TV was 100 percent true. Apple announced it would ship Apple TV ($299) in February, but now expects it to go in mid-March. "Wrapping up Apple TV is taking a few weeks longer than we projected," spokeswoman Lynn Fox
told Reuters.
Oooo-la-la, behold the all mighty iPhone. This is what we saw at Macworld, hundreds of people crowding around the shiny glass case which showcased the luxurious iPhone. We were wondering just how many alarms would go off if someone broke the glass, which we were tempted to do out of curiosity- now if only we could have gotten our hands on it!
Funnyman Conan O'Brien and his crew created a hilarious faux iPhone commercial detailing some of the extra uses of the new
iPhone from Apple, including: camera, movie player, remote control, bottle opener, blow dryer, lip gloss, condiment dispenser, cheese grater, treadmill, children's thermometer...the list goes on...and gets funnier.
Conan has always been one of my late night favorites - and a serious contender for
Geek of the Week - so I was tickled pink to see this video. Here's to many more...and Steve Jobs, can you think about the hair dryer feature...a girl could use a thing like that.
