Rumors have it that the Mac OSX update 10.6.6 might be coming within the next week or so, and it will integrate the feature of having the Mac App store. But keep note that when the Mac App store will first launch it still might be in beta stage and might not offer everything that the iPhone/iPod Touch stores offer, but within due time we should see everything set. The Mac App store is set to be release on January 6th 2011. So we might see 10.6.6 near that time.

I am sure everyone is excited, as I am for sure! This is sure to change the Macintosh experience. Stay tuned for more news!

Remember when the Apple TV came out back in September? Everyone was surprised by the price of $99, but if you take a closer look at the specs, you still find that $99 still maybe over priced because you get no internal storage and the only way to watch content is to rent tv shows, and Netflix. On the other hand competition, such as Google TV, is not doing as well, as they would expect. I also thought considering it's Google, the Google TV, would sell like hot cakes. On the other hand, Roku is actually doing well, even after the release of the Apple TV. 

The iPad was first introduced in two different versions, one being just Wifi and the other being 3G. But did you know that even with the only Wifi model, it was possible to buy a device also known as Mifi and hook it up with the iPad to offer 3g, services. With the carrier of your choice. This was done by many people when the first iPad had come out, because the 3g version was delayed for a few weeks.

Now Best Buy USA is offering iPad Wifi versions bundled with a Mifi device which will make it capable of 3G. There are charging nothing on the hardware of the Mifi, but you must purchase a 2 year contract on the carrier of their choice. The prices are $499 for 16gb iPad, 32gb for $599 and 64GB for $699.

From the looks of the prices, this seems that it will hurt the sales of the iPad 3G models. Because you have to pay $130 more for the built in antenna, and that makes it more expensive.

Will this cause more sales of the Wifi iPad? I guess we will have to wait and find out.

Apple just recently announced that the Mac App store will becoming on January 6th 2011 and it's sure to cause a lot of hype. Especially after it's introduction at the keynote. Now Mac users, will be able to enjoy playing apps right from the comfort of their computer, and Apple expects update for apps to be right in the Mac App store. The Mac App store is available through a software update on Snow Leopard. Also there is now a way for developers to join, you can now join the Mac App store dev team for just $99 a year. And just like the iPod/ iPhone app developers, you receive 70% of the revenue, and the price you would like to set is up to you.

After January 6, could we see more sales of the Macintosh, now that you can actually play many games on it? I hope we do some more sales and to me this looks like another step in the right direction for Apple.

Apple just recently released an update to the Apple TV Generation 2 (Version 4.1.1) and this update doesn't really bring along any new features but rather some usual bug fixes, and there not just your little security fixes but rather this fixes the ability for tv's to properly display 480p videos, as I had seen people on forums complain about the picture not display properly and also the update brings along a fix software wise, where sometimes content was being re-downloaded. Hopefully this will make the Apple TV much more stable. It is recommended that you do upgrade your Apple TV.

The issue which I had spoken about in a previous blog post, outlined a video showing that some users were having issues with the Macbook Air, showing a black screen when awaking from sleep, or becoming unresponsive, seems like those issues were true. Because just yesterday, Apple released a software update for all Macbook Air's who seem to have this issue. Even if you don't happen to find this issue, it should be safe to still update.

Make sure when you are updating, that you have the power cord plugged in and charging. This way when the Macbook Air boots up, the EFI will start to update.

Remember how in yesterday's post, I had talked about the rumors of an upcoming iPad? Well just today I was surfing the Apple refurbished store online, and noticed that Apple cut down the prices of the refurbished iPad's from $50 to $70 on the 16gb wifi model, and $100 off both the 32gb and 64gb wifi iPad's! This is another sign that we may be seeing a new iPad coming! I am really excited and for people who are not on the lookout for an iPad, and are willing to purchase an iPad which is practically new, just with a different box, should definitely consider a refurbished iPad. The price of the 64gb Wifi iPad being just $599 is definitely really good! You are saving a whopping $100 and that savings can come in handy for accessories, but these "Special" prices are there only for a limited time and this could be the perfect Christmas gift!
