Apple released new and improved iMacs today. The new machines are equipped with the faster Intel Core 2 Duo processors, a 1066 MHz front-side bus and can handle up to 4GB of 800MHz DDRS SDRAM.
Apple is touting the new machine’s environmental friendly recyclable glass and aluminum. The new iMac received a Silver rating from EPEAT.
The machines are available in four flavors from 2.4Ghz up to 3.06Ghz, with 20″ and 24″ glossy displays. Check out the full specs here.
From Gizmodo:
Apple issued v2.0.2 update for Apple TV today, but nobody is quite sure what it does except add a Genre sort button to the movies sections and a Flickr update that lets you see galleries of favorite photos tagged by your friends. Jason O’Grady of The Apple Core said the download took 9 minutes over a cable connection, so it seems like the update is sizable. Anyone else notice anything new? [The Apple Core]
From Engadget:
It’s no secret that we’ve been drooling over all the hot limited-edition Metal Gear Solid 4 swag that Sony and Konami are dishing out in Japan, but it looks like a select few in this country will be able to score the baddest of them all: the gunmetal gray PS3 / MGS4 bundle with matching DualShock 3. Yep, it’s coming Stateside on June 12th like the rest of the MGS4 editions and the standard 80GB PS3 / MGS4 bundle, but you’d better get in line now, because we’re told it’s going to be extremely limited in availability, and we’re calling one. We can do that, right? Say yes.
This looks awesome. I am getting myself a PS3 for my birthday upcoming in May and this one looks nice. Not sure I want to wait till June just for this though, we can only wait and see. How about that GTAIV PS3 combo in Europe? Post up some comments!!
Remember those rumors that AppleInsider was claiming a few hours ago? Well, if this picture we just got in the email is true, it may turn out that they are mistaken and there are no MacBook Pros coming tomorrow, but plain MacBooks:
According to this source, these are not the MacBook Pros you are looking for:
I just printed the inventory at FutureShop, the store I work at, and found new MacBooks… NOT MacBook Pros. The items are APPLE MACB MB402LL/A and MB403LL/A. I saw this posted in other places, but the prices is what will interest you. They’re listed at 1149.99 and 1349.99. These are Canadian prices, mind you, so I imagine they’ll be less in the states. Take a look at the picture, the two I’m mentioning are at the bottom.
Of course, Obi Kenobi here could have printed this out off Excel. And of course, there’s always the possibility that we will see updated MacBooks and MacBook Pros. It may be just that AppleInsider got their numbers wrong. And MacRumors. And this guy. Who knows, who cares. Like always, remember our first rules of rumors: don’t trust any of them.
From iRiver and the house The Mouse built comes this limited edition M-Player. Gold plating and a Philips PNX0103ET audio processor create what iriver calls an “assassin’s mace” of a device. Sure, Cute. Simple. Friendly. Now add Opulent to the tagline too — at ?888 Chinese Yuan (about $123) you’ll be looking at a 100% or so markup over their standard 1GB Mplayer.
