Review: “Apple’s New and Improved iPod”

Review: “Apple’s New and Improved iPod”: “Eric Dahl writes for PC World, ‘Refinement: that’s what you get out of Apple’s latest iPod, which comes with a brighter screen and an extra 20GB of storage. I tested the $349 iPod – the 80GB flagship of the revamped line – and found a music player that’s about as good as there is.’”

New Apple Commercials Air in Canada

TUAWer Connor let us know that he was able to upload two Get a Mac commercials that are airing in Canada (though not in the US, as of yet). The ad pictured to the [left] features the Mac talking about getting some work done, while Counseling depicts the PC and the Mac trying to see eye to eye with the help of a counselor (it doesn’t go well).

iMac Sporting 802.11n?

Core 2 Duo iMacs sporting 802.11n cards?

Filed under: Desktops, Wireless

Well, what have we here? Since the IEEE taskforce apparently can’t make up its mind about a final 802.11n protocol, some manufacturers have (understandably) just rolled out products based on the current draft(s). An eagle-eyed user has reportedly spotted one such wireless card in a less-than-expected location: within Apple’s newest iMac. While booted up into the latest version of Windows Vista, the built-in network adapter was recognized as being of the “Broadcom 802.11n” variety — not exactly the 54Mbps version we all expected to see. While we aren’t certain if there’s really a draft-spec card under the hood — especially since OS X is fairly adamant that it only supports 802.11b/g — Windows Vista is either uncovering a subtle secret (iTV to support 802.11n?), or else its a bit too sauced up to be taken seriously.
