Money Talks – Bullshit Walks
Apple Macintosh, iPod, iPhone news
iPad is probably great but no Traditional Chinese input yet (read the last point of Labguages on Tech Spec) and now people are paying 60-70% more for the parallel import iPad?! WTF
I can understand buying expensive products without warranty just for the cool factor. But I don’t get it when the product has no Traditional Chinese support for someone living in Hong Kong. How on Earth cam you Google for local stuff?! Are those people living in Simplified Chinese world only?!
You wouldn’t know how bad I wish my good old camera adapter for iPod can work for my iPhone. Wondering if the new Camera Connection Kit for iPad will work with iPhone? If it can, then I’ll probably just buy it. But then it probably will not work 8(
Here comes update Tuesday again at Apple Store. Could this be the long rumored new MacBook Pro update with Core i7 processor?
Updates:
There’s only Aperture 3 released on Tuesday. No new hardware…yet.
Boot Camp 3.1 is released with Windows 7 support. Not sure if it’s a woohoo type of news for you. Get you’d from Apple
New York Times has posted an article titled “2010: The Year of the Tablet” which describes the 10-inch screen (Apple) tablet capable of streaming video, and 2 hours battery life with always on web connection. Well such battery life would drive you nuts, isn’t it?!
With the Apple special media event scheduled on 26th January, 2010, and the report of Mac developers being told to prepare for full screen apps, all points to a product release from Apple. Hopefully Steve Jobs will address this special product in person to stun the world (again).
May it be 7-inch or 10-inch Mac tablet, I hope this is as good as expected. Sure we’ll see people carrying the Mac tablet on public transit like now with iPhone all over the MTR & bus.
OmniVision Technologies has secured orders from Apple for 5-megapixel camera sensors destined for the next-generation iPhone reported by DigiTimes. That’s good news but not that exciting for the next iPhone. I would rather see more bug fix & enhancement in iPhone OS 4.0 myself.
Just browse to iTunes App Store to check for my little app, ezFengShui, today since 1.1 has hit the store last Thursday. And there it is among the top 20 paid apps in lifestyle section!! Woohoo… This is my best birthday gift this year! Thanks again for all the purchase!

Wired reports that the next iPod Touch will get camera and mircophone! There will be so many more Skype rivals in the future.
Apparently the parallel imported iPhone 3G S has landed in Hong Kong and it will cost you a whopping HK$9,000. That’s crazily stupid.
The Wall Street Journal said Steve Jobs had liver transplant 2 months ago and yeah, he’s expected to return to Apple this month! Get well soon, Uncle Stevie.
