Steve Jobs released a couple of very exciting products yesterday at Macworld in San Francisco. The big announcement was the iPhone, 1/2 iPod, 1/2 phone, and 1/2 internet browser. It is super sleek with no buttons with a touch screen. There will be 2 versions a 4 GB ($499) and the 8GB ($599) and only available through Cingular. I have to say that you must check it out because when the iPhone comes out in June, it is going to be very popular. The next product is called the Apple TV formerly known as the iTV. It is a box the size of the Mac Mini with a 40 GB HD with an assortment of outputs, HDMI, component, optical, and standard audio. It will stream anything from iTunes from a Mac or PC up to 5 computers in the house for the cost of $299 and will be available in February. The final product is a redesigned Airport Extreme (February $179), similar in shape to the Apple TV, which is an update of the original with 802.11N (faster than A/B/G). Another nice feature is that it has an USB port that you can plug in a printer or what I really like is you can now plug in a USB hard drive and share the drive on the network. I am really excited about these products, but I was hoping for a new 23 HD monitor with a HDMI input, but maybe next time.
