Time Capsule designed to work along with Time Machine application which becoming part of Leopard. Besides as storage device, Time Capsule also works as router that share internet access.

Not only that, this peripheral also can be applied as printer sharing in network. Time Capsule and Bonjour network technology enables everyone in house or office exploits one printer centrally. User also can share its data – for example by connecting a external harddisk to Time Capsule.

What about with PC user which not use Macintosh? It is the fun; Time Capsule also supports base on Windows XP and Windows Vista PC. This peripheral also supports Mac which still based on Tiger. We sure Time Capsule will make people who usually lazy to makes backup - except have experienced losing of data- will be fond of (or subconsciously) does it.

The Insufficiency of Time Capsule is harddisk drive at this peripheral cannot be released. You cannot extend drive capacities or replaces it with other harddisk drive.

From price side, Apple offers 500GB version with US$ 299 price and 1TB version with US$499 price. This price is reasonable enough remembers in it has included harddisk drive, router, access point Wi-Fi 802.11n, and its support software.

Apple equipped Time Capsule with three port of Gigabit Ethernet ports, one port of Gigabit Ethernet WAN port, one port of USB 2.0 security WPA/WPA-2, and WEP 128-bit. Time Capsule is also equipped with NAT firewall which supporting NAT-PMP.

Kanguru Eco Drive (80GB) Review: This Hard Drive Saves Power

This product is the third generation of iMac since changes over applies Intel processor. Its base concept is still the same, which is using notebook component positioned at back of 20 inches LCD screen. But this newest iMac applies better machine compared to previous iMac Intel generation. Just look the inside. It use Intel processor generation Santa Rosa T7700 2,4GHz, ATi Radeon HD2400 XT graphic card and 250GB capacities harddisk. The design is also get modified. The iMac new version has applied aluminum material with metallic color (previous iMac generation use white polycarbonate color). While its operating system is using Leopard which is the newest version from Macintosh OS X.

Just like the other notebook, iMac is equipped by complete wireless feature, starts from infra-red, Bluetooth, and WiFi. WiFi has support WiFi-N standard, so that theoretically will send data 5X faster than WiFi b/g type which used occasionally at other notebook. Other facility provided is camera 1,3 MP, DVD Writer, and two stereo speaker. But differs from NEC Powermate P5000, there are no card reader or PCMCIA facility in this iMac. iMac Keyboard and mouse also still using USB connection, not yet Bluetooth like at Powermate P5000.

Apple changes its keyboard design in this newest iMac. This new design looks like Macbook, seen from wide distance between the buttons. The keyboard felt balmy to applied, though unhappily there is no hand rest and keyboard rest to arrange keyboard proclivity.

But lack in the keyboard side doesn't hold back usage satisfaction of iMac as a whole. LCD screen with 1680x1050 pixel resolution gives sharpness and color accurateness which almost perfect. The speaker gives great sound experience to us when listen to music and watch a movie.

About the performance, iMac also comes up gratifies. We testing iMac by the way installing Windows Vista uses Boot Camp facility and runs the regular test application. The result is impressive. iMac seen so superior than NEC Powermate P5000 which using AMD Turion64 X2 TL-52 processor and onboard graphic card. If compared to standard desktop PC, iMac performance can be said equal.

Though its concept has follows by many produces but iMac remain to shows its class as best All-in-PC compared to the competitor. Not only in performance, but also it cool design factor. There are some facility which we expect can find in iMac - like Bluetooth keyboard/mouse and card reader - but difficult to don’t like iMac.

Dell XPS One Review: The New All-in-One to Beat

The flash player, which comes in 4GB and 8GB capacities, is wider than previous models. But when you hold it alongside a second-generation nano, its widened dimensions don’t seem to matter: A beautiful screen and a just-as-thin body make the device seem like a huge evolutionary step for the line. The new user interface combines the nicer touches of the iPhone’s slick UI—like Cover Flow—with novel elements (a split screen that shows album covers for highlighted songs and a new Now Playing screen).

File support offers no surprises. For audio, the nano plays AAC (16 to 320 Kbps)—including, obviously, DRM and DRM-free tracks from iTunes, MP3 (all bit rates, including VBR), Audible files, AIFF, and WAV. If you have WMA fi les, loading them into iTunes automatically converts them to AAC, so while there’s no compatibility, there is at least a workaround. Video support is the typical Apple array: H.264 and MPEG-4.

The new main menu has a split screen, dividing the space equally between the familiar iPod menu lists on the left and a moving image of an album cover, photo, or video on the right. When no tune is playing, the main menu shows a variety of album covers slowly fl oating by, with specifi c spots zoomed in on. It’s a nice look.

I found video performance to be exceptional. The player has the same resolution as the old iPod video (now called the classic) but applied to a screen that’s a half-inch smaller. The result is an even sharper picture. When the new Brightness setting is adjusted to the highest level, the new nano's screen is much brighter than the previous model’s, as well. (Apple claims it’s a 65 percent difference.)

The nano is not without its flaws. The video output function is listed on the menu but cannot be switched on. Its inclusion implies that this function will be available with Tunes upgrades down the road, but for the time being, there’s no way to watch nano-loaded video on your TV or video iPod dock.

Also, Cover Flow, while beautiful and useful, trips up occasionally during fast scrolling. Album covers appear to have jagged edges, and sometimes the artwork takes a moment to appear. The feature is not nearly as sexy as it is on the iPhone.

Even with these minor flaws, nothing beats the nano in its price range. Throw in the few bundled games with quality graphics and you’ve got yourself a winner.

APPLE MAC MINI (1.83-GHZ CORE DUO): THIS APPLE PC NEEDS POLISHING

Apple has announced a partnership with Starbucks that enables iPhone and touch owners to purchase songs they hear in Starbucks stores via Wi-Fi. It would be nice if the Wi-Fi store offered video purchases—currently its music only. And, yes, the earbuds still suck. But these are my only complaints, and they’re minor. The relatively hefty prices don’t bug me either. Why? Because this is probably the best portable media player ever made.

On the iPod touch and iPhone, navigation of the music, video, and photo menus is identical, as is the excellent combo of the multitouch screen and the Safari Web browser. Both players load and sync with iTunes and can be managed much the same way manually. The touch is much skinnier than the iPhone, however, and that pesky recessed headphone jack is gone—as is the ability to send e-mail (unless you use a Web-based program like Gmail). The YouTube features are nearly identical, except that the iPod touch does not allow users to send clip links to friends.

The excellent Cover Flow, part of iTunes and featured on the iPhone, arranges albums alphabetically in a horizontal array using the albums’ cover art. Double-click for music controls Drag your fi nger across the display to slide the covers, as if thumbing through a virtual vinyl collection. Clicking on the central album cover fl ips the graphic over and reveals a music tracklist. From here you can click on a song and start playing.

The real hero is the new iTunes Wi-Fi Music store. Searching for artists can be done with the virtual keyboard or via tabs such as Featured and Top Tens. Provided that your Wi-Fi signal strength is decent, downloading a song takes only seconds, and the track is immediately put into your player’s library.

Next time you plug into your PC, the songs will transfer to your computer’s library. I wish Apple would include user-adjustable EQ settings such as the ones competitors like Samsung, Sansa, and Sony build into their players. With crappy earbuds and settings like Jazz and Dance, your best bet is to leave the EQ off and upgrade your earphones. I also had hoped you could turn the Starbucks feature off—you might not want to see a corporate logo pop up whenever you walk by a store, and you’re even less likely to share Starbucks’ musical tastes. Again, these are fairly minor complaints. More signifi cant gripes? Podcast users will be disappointed that they can’t get their ’casts via the Wi-Fi store, and the store doesn’t sell video, either. . . yet.

Whenever Apple releases a new product, “fanboys” proclaim it the greatest ever, while “haters” lambaste the product and the fanboys as well. This time the fanboys are right: The iPod touch is amazing.

Apple iMac (20-inch Aluminum): Sleeker and Thinner

APPLE MAC MINI (1.83-GHZ CORE DUO): THIS APPLE PC NEEDS POLISHING

The new iMac is an overall design wonder: a sleek, suspended slab with smooth tilting action and only a power cord running from the back. Taking design cues from the iPhone, the computer sports panels of aluminum and glass on the front and polycarbonate black plastic on the back, materials that make it a “more recyclable” system.

The iMac glossy 20-inch display has a resolution of 1,680-by-1,050, so it's optimal for displaying 1,280-by-720 HD content at full resolution, though 1,920-by-1,080 HD content needs to be scaled down. This will bother only the most exacting of users, but
it's worth noting. Playing back QuickTime-encoded movie trailers at 480p, 720p, and 1080p full-screen was smooth and stutter-free.

The LCD screen is clear and bright, with colors that “pop” off the screen, but, as with other built-in displays, I did see some noise on large swaths of solid colors from extreme angles. This problem shouldn't bother most users, but in case you want to hook up another monitor, there is a mini-DVI port on the back. (You’ll need a separately available adaptor to use it, however, and if you decide to use an HDMI adapter. you'll also need a separate audio cable. If you're hypercritical, the full-size desktop Mac Pro is still available, as are professional workstations from Dell and HP with separate monitors.

The new Apple wired keyboard is very much like the MacBook’s in style, with flat, shallow keys. Using it is similar to using the MacBook keyboard: It has enough travel and “bounce” to make typing comfortable for most users. Made of aluminum and plastic, it's much thinner than the old all-plastic one, so the new typing position may take some getting used to. Although it lacks an ergonomic “curve", the keyboard is quite usable.

The iMac runs on an Intel Core 2 Duo T7700 processor. Using this 2.4-GHz notebook-class CPU reduces heat and saves energy, and fortunately, it sacrifices very little computing power. It ran our Adobe Photoshop CS2 test slightly faster than the previous iMac did and performed even better with Photoshop CS3. Aided by an ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO graphic~card, it easily handled casual games as well as the less-demanding 3D titles.

One reason the new iMac falls short of a perfect rating is that it lacks a built-in digital card reader, a feature most multimedia-oriented desktops manage to include. But otherwise, the wonderfully integrated iLife ‘08 software suite makes the iMac a perfect home for your digital media. By combining superior performance with economical design, Apple's latest desktop sets a sleek new standard for other all-in-one PCs to follow.

At the same time Apple also cuts the price of 8 GB iPhone for US$ 200 and now the price became only US$ 399. The price cut of course is happy news. Apple likely change their mind after getting many criticisms about the real high price of iPhone compared to the price of similar smartphone product in the market. But in other side, the price cutting hardly disappoints to all first iPhone buyer. They feel lied for this Apple act. For that Apple finally gives US$ 200 discount voucher to all first iPhone buyers.

" Some of my friend tell me that I’m too much waste my time this summer, but I feel that all paid,” said Hotz to The Record of of Bergen Country. Hotz confesses that to unlock the iPhone is not easy an easy job. Hotz said that he did all process with solder and software help. Wrong step in the process can make the iPhone not work at all.

This Mac mini is slightly faster than the 1.66GB version that I tested a year ago. Though this model isn’t a speed demon, it’s sufficient for light photo duties. Wed still like to see a TV tuner added. In addition, were not willing to overlook the minis lack of keyboard and mouse, as well as its modest hard drive capacity and system memory in the default configuration.

Although the Mac mini is still a compelling choice, Windows systems are coming on strong in the mini PC arena. Apple needs to spruce up the next version, or at the very least offer features similar to those of its competitors for the price.

Apple Mac mini (1.83-GHz Core Duo): $874

The basic concept of this product is straight forward: It wirelessly streams content from the iTunes libraries of up to five computers and can also play content directly from the boxs 40GB hard drive. This means you can enjoy almost anything on your PC, including movies, photos, podcasts, and music, on your enhanced-definition and high-definition widescreen televisions. Apples slogan says, “If it’s on iTunes, it’s on Apple TV”- and this is mostly true. Those who don’t mind hooking up a few cables and thinking a little about the setup will enjoy this wireless extension of iTunes.

Setup is pretty easy. Apple TV appears as a device in iTunes when you choose to add a library on Apple TVs menu. You’ll need a computer running iTunes 7.1.1 connected to a wireless “b”, ”g”, or “n” router. Apple recommends “g” or better, but we found that even when we ran video over a “b” network it was watch able. Just keep in mind that video is 640-by-480; don’t expect HD quality.

One big drawback is that Apple TV works only with EDTV or HDTV (sorry, 4:3 set owners). Another caveat: Any video files that don’t play on the iPod wont play on Apple TV without first being converted in QuickTime to a compatible format even if they do play in iTunes. This was certainly true of video footage I took on my digital camera: It showed up (and played) in my iTunes library but didn’t even appear as a playable file in the Apple TV menu.

With setup done, you can stream iTunes content from your computer to your television. “Sync” your PC with the Apple TV, and all of the material in your iTunes library (except the aforementioned video files) will be transferred to the box’s 40GB hard drive. You can’t stream photos, but you can sync them if your computer has iPhoto or Photoshop installed. Sure, the Xbox 360 is a great media extender, but this device is the one for iPod owners. It’s a fantastic product. Even so, I won’t be buying one until iTunes movies cost less than going to a real theater.
