Apple’s Black Friday deals? Again? This time real?

November 23, 2009 10:52 AM ⋅

Apple-Black-Friday

When we last reported the Apple Black Friday deals, maybe we were all wrong, because over at BGR, there’s another brochure, this time taking things into detail. iMacs start at $1098, iPod Nanos start at $138, iPod Touch starts at $178, MacBook Pros start at $1098, Apple TVs start at $208, Airport Express starts at $88, and Magic Mouse and Wireless Keyboard go for $64 each. According to BGR, the last Black Friday deal was from a “new” source, but this image comes from a source that’s “credible”. There’s one catch though: These deals are only at the Apple Retail Store.

So now you know when the Samsung Omnia II is coming out (December 2nd), and that’s it’s going to be priced for $199.99 (after 100 mail-in rebate), and that it’s going to be on Verizon’s network, and that it has a 3.7 inch AMOLED touchscreen with the 3D cube TouchWiz 2.0 UI.,  and it runs Windows Mobile 6.5; which one would you buy? The Droid or the Omnia II? You know the answer to that one, don’t you?

Dell Mini 3i details confirmed, there really isn’t 3G

November 23, 2009 9:06 AM ⋅

dell-mini-3i-ophone-china-mobile-600

One of the things that have been learned as of the morning about the Dell Mini 31 smartphone is that it really has no 3G. Besides that deal-breaker;  it has a 3 megapixel camera with zoom, autofocus, flash, and video mode, 3.5” nHD (640×360) screen, Bluetooth, GPS, and microSD expansion (up to 32GB). There’s 2 different color options: “Red Passion” and “Oiled Bronze”. And if the only question you have is why it’s not coming here this week, it’s because Dell wants to cash in on China Mobile’s 500 million customers. Go figure.

Motorola Droid prototype sitting on Ebay? Hmm.

November 22, 2009 2:25 PM ⋅

moto-droid-proto-11-21-09

Ebay, the auctioning site of despair (I’m not kidding). But hey, here’s a Motorola Droid prototype! Maybe this is real?? After all, you can tell that it doesn’t look like a normal Droid with all of the bright LEDs and chrome bezel, and it’s not priced like one either; bidding starts at $485. Although this could also be a modded Droid, so it could look like a prototype. It’s your take I guess.

Apple doesn’t like if you smoke near your Mac

November 22, 2009 9:58 AM ⋅

mac-no-puffin

Smokers: Beware! According to an news story published by Consumerist, two Mac owners (who puff their Marlboro with pride and had extended AppleCare warranties) were denied help from Apple when their Macs were in need of service. Why? Because according to the Operational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the nicotine released from cigarettes can be classified as a bio-hazard and exposing your Mac to such conditions makes it contaminated with the chemical, so the Apple Genius employees are within their rights to not work on those machines.  In fact, the two owners wrote to Steve Jobs’ office, and were turned down. The only form of help Apple offered was to take the computers somewhere else to be fixed, on their dollars. So here’s the question: Should Apple be allowed to reject service to your Mac if you smoke, even a little? There isn’t anything about not smoking in the AppleCare agreement.

Windows drivers for the Magic Mouse should work like magic

November 21, 2009 7:09 PM ⋅

windows-magic-mouse-hack-600

A smart hack extracted the drivers from Boot Camp, which allowed users on Macs that are running Windows to use the Magic Mouse in Windows. That driver has been extracted and is available to all who wish to use the magical Magic Mouse on their Windows PC; which in the end becomes magical. I’ll stop using the “magical” reference now.  Hit Uneasy Silence for the drivers.
