Mac Hardware and Software Updates

 

Although I generally don’t consider MacSparky a “news” site, there is some great live coverage of the Mac event today at Engadget right here.  At the time of this posting, Steve has released the new iMacs, iLife 08, and iWork 08 and a bump of .Mac drive space (I think) to 10 gb.  The software updates look fantastic and will be finding their way on to my hard drive soon.

Review – Tekkeon myCharger

This little gadget allows you to charge an iPod and just about any other kind of cell phone from a single AC plug. The myCharger device is compact charger with a USB female plug on the bottom. You can plug an iPod cord in the bottom and charge your iPod or iPhone directly. It also has a separate cord with a usb plug on one end and an adapter on the other end. It also comes with a series of plugs for the adapter that allows you to charge several different brands of cell phones including Blackbery, LG Mobile, Motorola, Samsung, and Sony Ericsson. I took it into the office and managed to charge everyone’s phone.

Tekkeon also sales add-ons to allow you to charge other 5 volt devices and international plugs for serious travelers.

There are many charging products on the market. I think the Tekkeon myCharger is really best for travelers or others who find themselves carrying several chargers. Using this product, you can cut down on the clutter in your bag. You can find the myCharger online for about $19.

Daisy’s MacBook Bling

 

I got my wife’s new MacBook set up for her but she wanted to customize the look of it. So we bought one of those nice plastic see through covers at the Apple Store and Daisy decorated it using stamps, paint, and .. yes.. little fake stick on jewels.
