Rumored: Apple to Make Lighter MacBook Air?

Categories: Apple, Design, Featured, MacWorld, Mackbook Air | add this page to Mister Wong

The MacBook Air is encased in anodized aluminum, weighing only 3.0 pounds which maks it the lightest computer on the market at this time. I say at this time, because I’m sure it won’t be long before the new MacBook Air will get in our greedy consumers hands. Rumor has it that Apple will replace all aluminum with carbon fiber parts. And we’ve seen lately that most of Apple related rumors turn to reality.Carbon fiber is an extremely lightweight material, being at the same time exceptionally strong. Only by just replacing the lower case, the new Macbook Air could weigh 2.78 pounds or lower. Well again we’ll just have to wait and see. Via Mobilewhack

The Myvu Crystal now works with your iPhone 3G

Categories: 3g, Apple, Design, Featured, iphone | add this page to Mister Wong

Ever use the Myvu Crystal? It’s a pair of glasses that has a built-in VGA-quality display. The idea here is that you connect the Crystal to your portable media player or cellphone and you can take immersive audio/video with you wherever you go. That’s the idea, but like I said I haven’t used them so I can’t speak to how well they work. Doug seemed to like it, though. Read More

Apple Might Have NetBook in Works

Categories: 3g, Apple, Design, Featured, iphone | add this page to Mister Wong

According to Steve Jobs, "Apple is going to 'wait and see' how the category evolves and 'we've got some pretty interesting ideas if it does evolve. first Steve Jobs seemed pretty down on the whole category, saying that there are "not a lot of them getting sold," and Apple's "entrance into that category" is the iPhone.

iPod-iPhone Marketing could drive more revenue to Apple

Categories: Ads, Apple, Audio, Battery, Content, Corporate, Design, Games, Mobile Appz, Mobile Phone, Multimedia, Phone, accesories, music | add this page to Mister Wong

The ipod and the iphone have proven to be the most sucessful duo, the ipod has taken the portable music industry by storm and now the iPhone is doing the same thing for the mobile industry, but Apple is not cashing or taking advantages totally in the marketing arena. Here is the point: The marketing behind the ipod was and is still excellent, trendsetting, joyful and has done its job, put the ipod everywhere in an entertainming manner, everybody enjoys those well done ads, the music, the images, the strategy worked for the ipod. With the iphone, Apple has turned to the other side, showing what to do with your newly iphone. While this is a direct to your brain marketing, it is totally different from the ipod one. Good, the ipod and the iphone have received thousand of free TV exposure, people showing their favorite mp3 or smartphone to everybody and this represents a bigger than expected and unpaid marketing campaign. But hey, Where is the Yanqui's based iPod or iPhone? Or the David Ortiz fully loaded iPod? And there is where Apple is still sleeping, there is a bigger and more fanatic audience out there that is willing to have a Baseball ...

Categories: Apple, Application, Applications, Audio, Battery, Design, Dock, Itunes, Microsoft, Mobile Appz, Mobile Phone, Multimedia, Office, accesories, internet, iphone, ipod, music, online | add this page to Mister Wong

Since the introduction of the Apple iPhone on January the 9th, the world has gone touch pad crazy, touch pad technology is the way of the future and many companies have heard the call and made their own touch pad phones in direct competition with the iPod. Now is touchscreen, the iPhone has its own mobile category (The iPhone Killer), almost all manufacturers realize that if they want to sell their smartphones they should label them as "iphone killer", it is not enough to have a full featured smartphone if is not a iphone killer and everyday you see how desperate they are just adding touchscreen to make their devices look like an iphone instead of adding new features. Check the list and make your bets, I believe that the only smartphone that will push down the iphone is another iphone. 1. Samsung F700 Coming in at Number 1 is the Samsung F700 ultra slim phone, answering the call early Samsung have come up with a splendid touch pad phone. Main features of the phone include a 5 megapixel camera, touch pad technology, impressive downloads speeds of up to 7.2 Mbps and a cool slide out QWERTY Keyboard, which is something ...

Deadly Match! Blackberry Bold vs Apple iPhone… it is a corporate world

Categories: Apple, Applications, Audio, Content, Corporate, Design, accesories | add this page to Mister Wong

When the iPhone was launched it was not intended to be a corporate smartphone from day one and this keeps RIM happier, while the iPhone took marketshare from everybody it can't touch the Blackberry, because they both were in different leagues, now that the future for the iPhone is set and it includes direct marketing to corporations, the same RIM market. RIM has been moving desperately creating and launching devices that put a stop to the Apple intentions. It's going to be a blood battle and Apple is doing everything right to take a big chunk of corporate market from RIM (the corporate king is without a doubt the Blackberry), but Apple has been doing its homeworks and you would see the penetration it will gets with the iphone. I was expecting a different, more cleaned and elegant Blackberry, RIM can't compete with the Bold with the iPhone in form factor, it gets knock out. They need to create a different device, forget about corporate, innovate around your corporate clients' needs and give them a more compelling experience. That is the reason the iPhone is what it is, because ...

iPhone and ipods reinvented with Aluminum Protections

Categories: Apple, Design, accesories, iphone, ipod | add this page to Mister Wong

The iPhone Custom transforms the Apple iPhone into a showcase of style and technology, redesigned with the finest raw materials known to man. Aluminum, known for its high strength-to-weight ratio makes an exceptional material for mobile devices. The fun starts when a 15 micron thickness is transformed through anodizing into aluminum oxide AKA sapphire; known to be second only to diamond in its hardness and durability. Nanometer sized sapphire crystals protect the underlying aluminum from the outside world. Treated to achieve a deep matt-black finish, this housing accentually ties the rear of the device together. Stainless steel was commissioned for the more ostentatious front bezel and rear logo. Utilized for demanding applications such as knife edges and fine time pieces, stainless steel is an impressive material. But this wasn't enough. The iPhone Custom is the first smart phone in the world treated with Titanium Nitride / Titanium Aluminum Nitride. Creating the hardest surface treatment ever. Not only is this the best functional coating available, it is one of the most visually exquisite surfaces ever created by man. TiN exudes a deep rich gold luster that pops against the enigmatic back housing. TiAlN on the other hand has a deep metallic black radiance that ...

Yankodesign: iView Curved iMac has your back…

Categories: Apple, Design, accesories | add this page to Mister Wong

Out of this world curved imac design transports you to the far far future or into another galaxy without pretending to be expensive, this design combines the natural minimalist that we always expect from an Apple product and the natural beauty of the curved metal. The LCD on the back gives you another point of view when it comes to team collaboration or information feedback. If only Apple takes Nuno Teixeira into consideration this could be a real hit, there is nothing missing from this concept and the designer took every aspect of this concept and placed it in the higher level of space efficiency and aesthetic. If I weren't a macaholic I would bet that this is a real real product in flesh and bone. Nuno must starts paying some visits to the Dell or HP pals, they are looking for this kind of design for their products to take on Apple Industrial Design. There is a place guaranteed for Nuno (the Designer) and he must take it right now, it can be at Apple or other PC manufacturer.
