This may not be a surprise for most of us as the iPhone offers one of, if not the best web experience from a phone.  

 

"Net Applications’ February results show the iPhone operating system having managed over nine times the usage of its next smartphone competitor, Windows Mobile, which had just 6.91 percent of the traffic measured across tens of thousands of sites."

 

This does not say that other phones are not used for this purpose, but seeing how the iPhone is the newcomer to the smartphone category, the lead is significant.

  A .pdf that has since been pulled from Apple on their site confirmed that there would be late 2008 MacBooks.  This is no surprise, but it does help ramp up what the nuances of the new MacBooks have for us.  

 

 

The document simply informs the repair personnel of how to assemble the airport belongings into the display. 

 

"Before installing the replacement display, install the AirPort card on the display assembly. The display assembly does not come with the AirPort card installed."

 

Now we wait and see what goodness Apple has for us on Tuesday.

  Cnet is reporting that they had a chat with Jason Calacanis who informed them that Apple was working on their own HDTV.  We have heard this rumor years ago and it sort of trickled out of existence with the Apple TV. 

 

 

Now the new rumors say that Apple is creating its own fully networked HDTV with Apple TV built in features.  The new TV’s would feature an iTunes movie and TV show rental service and allow full integration with you Mac or any PC running iTunes.

 

This comes as no surprise , but it could be just something Apple is playing with in their labs that may never come to be.  There is no reason Apple could not make their own TV’s and maybe we will see them soon, but I certainly hope the price is nothing like their current displays if they do come to market.

  Apple has been trying to get the iPhone in every country around the world and they are almost set with China.  China Mobile, the country’s largest carrier is close to finalizing its deal with Apple for iPhone sales.  

 

 

The news comes as no surprise as China is the worlds largest population of cell phone users in the world.  We think they are trying to get in the door before the September 9th event which would make sense.  

 

Apple is edging closer to being the most used cell phone in the world, but it will take some time.

  Using Google Insight, facesaerch blog found an interesting trend.  During the week Windows and Linux are used in general.  During the weekend the trend reverses and you see more people use Macs.  This comes as no surprise when you consider the amount of workplaces that have Windows and Linux and have never moved to Macs.  In the graph above the spikes A and B are the weekend Mac usage if you hadn’t already figured that out.

 

  The Mac seems to be the home computer and the other two happen to be the work computers.  This is not to say Macs aren’t capable as we know full well they are many times more capable than Windows and more user friendly than Linux.  

 

The conclusion is quite simple: we work and suffer with MS and Linux, we relax with Apple on the weekends. If you have another conclusion, there is a great comment box at the end of this post.
