I wasn’t planning on posting about the iPhone but I found this video funny.

Nataly came home today to find her Apple MacBook in the hallway being chewed on by Geo, or dog. I don’t know what got into his head today but for some reason he took the laptop from the living room and started chewing it. Luckily it seems he only chewed the case since the screen is still working and so is everything else meaning it shouldn’t be too costly to fix (I hope). I still don’t understand how he managed to pick up the laptop off the table and drag it to the hallway…

I was in Marina Mall yesterday when I noticed that Mac&More surprisingly have the Apple TV in stock. They are selling it for KD129 which is around $140 more expensive then on Amazon.

I was just flipping through my archive of pictures when I found this. Its a picture of my original iPod with Nibaqs old iPod FM transmitter. That over sized black box with the pull out antenna is what we used to use to connect our iPods to the car stereo. There were no iTrips or any of those tiny sexy looking white transmitters back then.

This cracked me up.. [Link]

Mac & More in Marina Mall have the iPod Shuffle Colors in stock. They are selling them for KD34. Apple should have released a black version of the shuffle, or maybe they will release a 2GB version in the future thats black.

Nat came in to work today morning to find a new toy awaiting her. Other then her 30inch Apple display, Quad Core Mac and 8GB of RAM, she now has a 21 inch Cintiq 21UX tablet!

This is the screensaver I am currently using. Its Mac only. [Link]

Today before I left the office I swapped my Lacie 19inch CRT monitor with a brand new Apple 20inch display. It was supposed to be for another employee but he didn’t want it so I took it. Its nothing compared to Nats 30inch display but its still cool and sexy.

I was just discussing the size of the iPhone with Nibaq when he stated it was similer to his Sony Ericsson P990 which I thought was strange because the iPhone looks bigger. Well he was right, here are the dimensions:

Apple iPhone
115 × 61 × 11.6 mm

Sony Ericsson
114 x 57 x 26 mm

Yeah iPhone is out but..

– No 3G meaning if you decide to surf the web its using the incredibly lame speed of EDGE which makes it outdated before the phone is even released (wifi is cool in the US but in Kuwait not really useful)

– Only works with US Cingular network for now meaning it won’t work in Kuwait

– Cheapest version of iPhone costs $500 and thats with the 2 year Cingular contract. How much will the unlocked version of the phone cost? $800?

– In the pictures it looks as big as an Apple Newton

– Would I end up getting one? Yeah probably

I just got off the phone with Nat, she has a new Apple 30inch display at her new work place! Thats so not fair…

update: ok, she also has a QUAD core 2.5ghz PowerMac with 8GB of RAM!

Its like 3 seconds on my 1.8ghz Macbook. Thats super fast. [Video]

A public beta of Photoshop CS3 will be made available for download today. Anyone who has an Intel-Mac will greatly appreciate this because the new CS3 version will be Universal Binary. The public beta will be available on labs.adobe.com once it gets released.

Finally got my iPod Shuffle from Amazon. Its really tiny, a lot smaller then it looks. You need to hold it in your hand to really understand how small the thing is. The package should really contain a spare shuffle since it would be so easy to misplace one.
