QuickerTek has introduced it’s latest Apple charging product, this one powered by the sun, called the Apple Juicz. Coming in versions for all three MacBooks (Original, Air and Pro), the charger harnesses the sun through solar panels in a foldable and flexible cell array.
Here in the US AT&T will charge you $199 for the 8GB iPhone 3G and $299 for the 16GB model. With the cheapest voice plan starting at $39 for 450 minutes. You would have to pay an additional $5 for the previously included 200 SMS mesages. You will have to pay $20 to get unlimited messaging. The consumer data plan starts at $30 a month and $45 for business users, on top of the voice and SMS costs. (more…)
Why does everyone seem to hate the 16GB white version of the iPhone 3G?
I think that Johnny Ive and his team that he whips into photoshop mode as he stands by Steve Jobs’ side riding swiftly through the design department of the Apple campus on a glorious Apple branded chariot driven by beautiful white stallions (ok so maybe a little bit of poetic license there) do a fantastic job of making products that, if legal, I know some people would marry for their beauty. The latest installment to the Apple design family is the iPhone 3G. Much similar to the iPhone 1.0, the iPhone 3G has one distinct difference. The back. On the 1.0 model the iPhone had a mostly metal back with a small black plastic bit towards the bottom.
This will probably look familiar to you all but what about the latest 3G iPhone design. The latest iPhone design has 2 different backs. Although the front is almost indistinguishable from the old iPhone the back looks quite different.
Fotomagico has been awarded “Best Mac OS X Leopard Graphics and Media Application Runner-up” in the Apple Design Awards. The awards recognize achievement and technical excellence in OS X software design. Fotomagico has previously been recognized by the awards for “Best Mac OS X User Experience Runner-up” in 2006.
Fotomagico is makes creating slick slideshows a breeze. It also works with Leopard functions such as Quicklook and ichat Theater. It also brings in a Sharing Assistant that makes creating media optimized for DVD, Ipod, Apple TV and other media a complete breeze.
The Phoenix News Times is reporting (and your truly confirmed) that you can now view video clips from NASA’s Mars lander. You can watch the little guy pick up Martian soil (which apparently was giving it some trouble to begin with), The downloads are available through Itunes U for free.

After a bit of drooling by Mac users, AMD has now released the ATI Radeon HD 3870 card for Mac & PC. According to AMD, the card is optimized for use with Apple’s Mac Pro systems and brings the noise and the funk with 512MB of GDDR4 RAM, 320 stream processors, PCI Express 2.0 support and twin dual-link DVI ports for when you need to rock both of your 30-inch Cinema HD displays.
When it launches in about a month, look to have an extra $129 in your pocket so you can grab one fresh off the line. Check the link below for a full list of specs.
