Apple iPhone 3G

Unless you’ve been trapped in a cave somewhere today, you should’ve heard about Apple’s new iPhone 3G. It’s twice as fast as the original and only half the price.

The iPhone will run on AT&T’s highspeed 3G network alongside built-in GPS mapping, Microsoft Exchange support, desktop-class web browser, apps and Apple’s New MobileMe service. You’ll find Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR, a 3.5 inch 480×320 pixel display, 2.0 megapixel geotagging camera, accessible SIM card and a slick new case.

The iPhone 3G will weigh 4.7 ounces and come in 8GB ($199 w/ 2 year contract) or 16GB ($299 w/ 2 year contract) sizes in black or white (16GB only).

I’m sure many of you have been waiting for Apple to produce an ultra-slim portable notebook — I know I’ve been. The wait is over.

This morning at Macworld in San Francisco, Steve Jobs announced the MacBook Air ($1799). Measuring only 0.16 to 0.76 inches and weighing 3.0 pounds, the MacBook Air is the world’s thinnest laptop.

Features include a 13.3 LED backlit wide screen display, a full-size backlit keyboard, a built-in iSight camera, and an iPhone-like trackpad with multi-touch gesture capability.

Additional specs include: a built-in iSight camera, USB 2, micro-DVI and headphone via a flipdown door, 802.11n, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR.

There’s no optical drive on the MacBook Air. A “remote disc” feature allows you to “borrow” any nearby machines optical drive or you can purchase the optional MacBook Air SuperDrive ($100).

Two options are available: 1.6 GHz version with 80GB 4200-rpm PATA hard drive ($1,799) or 1.8 GHz version with 64GB solid-state hard drive ($3,098).

Great news for all Mac fanatics, but my only qualm is the rather slow and small hard drive in the 1.6 GHz variety.
