Softbank in Japan has just released a new add-on for the iPhone which allows you to charge your iPhone and at the same time have a TV tuner. The product is only for Japan at this time as they expect TV tuners in their phones and the iPhone did not deliver. It would be great to have such an add-on here in the U.S. and pick up HD broadcasts on our phones, but for now we’ll have to wait or import the tuner.

Apple has gone to great lengths to please their customers by offering them a total of 90 free days onto their existing year if they experienced the many outages.

AT&T has begun offering WiFi again at Starbucks for customers of the iPhone. Included in our 70-plus dollar per month subscription, used to be WiFi at Starbucks and now they have brought it back for us to enjoy.

Apple has started shipping out the new MacBook Air to its buyers. The revision of the MacBook Air includes the new NVIDIA GeForce 9400M as well as a choice of 1.6 or 1.86GHz processors. People who have already received them are reporting they notice a noticable boost in performance due to the upgraded GPU, which takes a lot of the load off the CPU. The MacBook Air is in a tough spot now that the new MacBook is even that much thinner.

UPDATE: “Our holiday line-up is set,” Apple spokesman Bill Evans told Macworld.
We have some new rumors surrounding Apple and what they intend to do in the near future. Dennis Sellers of Macsimum News has said that November 10th is the date of the iMac refresh of which is just expected a bump in specs and display power. The other interesting refresh comes in the way of a new Mac Mini. We have heard there would be a refresh, then it was put in the trash bin and now it comes back refreshed on the same date as the iMac. The other tidbit is about a new Mac Pro coming at this years MacWorld Expo. The Mac Pro is up on specs right now, but lacks the most current hardware and the new "Display Port" for the new cinema display line which makes this a very plausable rumor.
