If The iPhone Wasn't Already Tempting Enough

Posted by Jesse Fritter on 10 Jun 2008 3.28 AM

Just when you thought the iPhone couldn't get any better, old Jobs has done it again by slashing the price even further from $399(old) right down to $199(8GB) and $299(16GB). This should give everyone that isn't living in a cave a real nudge to get one.

Also expect the launch of the App Store for the iPhone applications, a iPhone 2.0 upgrade and the revamp of .Mac to MobileMe.

Leather MacBook Air Manila Envelopes When Paper Can't Cut It Anymore

Posted by Jesse Fritter on 29 May 2008 1.11 PM

Everyone remembers watching the MacBook Air commercial for the first time and how completely blown away you felt when the actor, like a magician, pulled out the MacBook Air from an ordinary manila envelop.

I'm sure this scene has been repeated time and time again in offices and apple shops around the world, but it begs the question, how practical can it be to actually carry around your notebook in an envelop?

Probably not at all, however the boffins at Bird Electron have cleverly introduced it's line of hand stitched leather "envelopes" for MacBook Air instead. It looks really good with stitched edges and comes complete with the iconic envelop's thread loops.

Let's hope to see it here in Asia soon.
