Due to illness, I’d not been able to update this site as much as I’d like over the past month. Let’s see if I can catch up in a single post.
- Apple released the MacBook, the Intel-based replacement for the iBook G4. The only available screen size is a 13.3″ glossy widescreen, but processor options are 1.83 and 2Ghz Intel Core Duo CPUs, with the choice of white or black enclosures.
- Apple also released Final Cut Express HD version 3.5, a Universal Binary for both PowerPC and Intel-based Macs. Retail price is $299, with a $99 upgrade from prior versions.
- The U2 iPod is back, in a completely black edition of the 30G iPod Video and the band’s autographs on the back. Retail price is $329, only slightly more than the “normal” 30G iPod.
- Equinix releases CoverScout ($15.95) for editing album covers in iTunes, and a new Universal Binary version (1.1) of On Air.
- Jonathan Nathan has released Jon’s Phone Tool 3.5 and EntourageABMenu 1.5.
- Specere has released Art Collector and Menuet, tools for finding and applying album art to your iTunes music libarary.
- XtraLean Software is having a Father’s Day special on their ShutterBug software.
- Meetro now supports the Mac with their location-aware social messenging software.
