I was very thrilled to start using the new iPhone from Apple. At first, the phone looks incredibly elegant and fun to use. Any who, until now I've come up with a list with features i like the most and i hate the most.

Lets start with the ones I like the most
1. Amazing keyboard for typing messages.
2. Rich graphical interface.
3. Great video player - Resolution-wise - & cover float view.
4. Huge storage space for your movies to carry around.
5. Easy to setup mail services.
6. Installer to Add/Remove applications.
7. Amazing Alarm system.
8. Youtube application for streaming live videos and searching youtube database.
9. Synchronize perfectly with you Mac address book, Calendar..etc.
10. Since its based on Unix its allow you to install most the unix famous applications as HTTPD, SSH server/client, perl, php, python..etc.

Now the ones i don't like
1. Runs out of battery quickly.
2. Cannot forward SMS nor you can send to multiple recipient at a time.
3. Cannot customize the email checking process.
4. Cannot configure your own ring tone accept through iTunes store.
5. No google maps support for the middle east.
6. Cannot use the bluetooth to send/receive nor connect to your Mac.

Well, this is all for now.. I'll try to post more about the experience in general. Until then, thanks for reading and if you have any concerns about the iPhone please don't hesitate to post em up and I'll get back to you.

I've been struggling to buy from the iTunes store but the fact that my location is not listed in the counties is very impossible. Someone at the forum made is very easy and clear, apparently amazon stores are selling a special card which you can use to buy items from iTunes.

Apple Inc. announced on Tuesday October, 30 .. that they had sold over two million copies of Mac OS X 10.5 (aka Leopard) ..

"Early indications are that Leopard will be a huge hit with customers," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "Leopard's innovative features are getting great reviews and making more people than ever think about switching to the Mac."

and some of the blogs mentioned that it took Apple more that a couple of months to reach that number when "Tiger" came out the first time.

In my excitement over the new MacBook, I totally missed the latest MacBook Pro update. Again, this is a pretty minor change. The processor choices now include a 2.6 GHz Core 2 Duo, in addition to the previously available 2.2 and 2.4 chips. The cost of a 2.6 chip is $250 more than either the 15" or 17" configured with the 2.4 GHz processor and Apple estimates shipping at 2 - 3 weeks.

It looks like the rumors were right. Well, sort of right. The MacBook line has been updated. Before you get too excited, please note that this is a pretty minor update. The MacBook's can now be properly branded as utilizing Santa Rosa platform (note: platform, not chipset - Santa Rosa is a branding term like Centrino). The processor choice is now either the Core 2 Duo 2.0 or 2.2 GHz, with an updated 800 Mhz front side bus and the new integrated graphics is the updated GMA X3100 (the successor to the GMA 950 that has been used for far, far too long) with 144 MB of shared memory. Stock RAM, hard drive and SuperDrive options remain the same - though the new MacBook's have the capacity to be upgraded to 4 GB of RAM. Prices remain unchanged from the previous revision, so $1499 gets you a 2.2 // 1 GB // 160 // 8x SuperDrive instead of a 2.16 // 1 GB // 160 // 8x SuperDrive.
