Altec Lansing Octiv Stage iPad Speaker Dock

Really like the simple design of this iPad Dock. To me most of the iPad speak docks look awkward and disproportional, but Altec Lansing has avoided this en route to designing the most elegant dock. Two nice features of the Dock are the rotating connection arm that allows you to use your iPad in portrait or landscape and the ability to tilt the dock which facilitates different viewing angles. Also should note that the dock is additionally compatible with both iPhones and iPods. As with all Altec Lansing products this dock is GMS-shielded to block out any static when in use with your iPhone. In stores this week for $150.

New 11.6" and 13" MacBook Air

Today Apple revealed their new 11.6 inch and 13 inch MacBook Air that sets to combine everything they learned from the iPad and previous generation of the Air. The new Air 13 inch air is 0.68-inches thick at its thickest, 0.11-inches at its thinnest, and weighs 2.9 pounds (2.3 for the 11.6 inch). Also upgraded in the new model is the battery life, 7 hours of surfing for the 13 inch and 5 for the smaller unit with up to 30 days on standby for both. To me the MacBook Air the best solution for someone who wants a very portable computer that doesn't want to give up complete functionality. With that said, I wish they could have worked in a backlit keyboard for both models. Also, it should be noted that the 13 inch model has a built in SD slot which is always handy. The new Air is available today and the pricing is as follows:

11.6 inch
64GB $999
128GB $1199

13 inch

Steve Jobs at D1

While searching the net for today's D8 interview with Steve jobs, I came across this very interesting D1 interview that took place in 2003. During the interview Steve talks about how he doesn't foresee the iPod ever using the internet, predicts that the 'tablet' will fail and states that he doesn't believe that apple would be successful in the PDA/Cell phone industry. Things can change so much in 7 years. This only excites me more for what we will see in 1, 3, or 5 years away...
