Latest Apple Products

Isn’t it great that liking technology doesn’t mean you’re a total geek? I’m way into gadgets, which is weird for a girl who is also really into fashion. Nerds have come a long way. They have awesome street cred now.

Synonymous with technology is style, and with that comes fashion. I suppose this is because technology itself gets a design overhaul every few years. Just think back to the first mobile phones in what, early ‘90s? They were massive. It was as if people were walking around and speaking into a brick. So all the gadgets these days are way stylish and it’s an image thing really. And isn’t image one reason as to what fashion is all about?

This week Apple’s iPhone has already caused a bit of a stir. In a nutshell the iPhone will be an iPod mobile phone, which can also be used as a camera, as well as listening to your favourite tunes. I wonder if Nokia and all the other major phone companies will be shitting themselves?

But it ain’t cheap folks. Priced at $US499 for the 4GB model and $US599 for the 8GB, the phones will be available in the United States from June. This probably means that Australians will unfortunately have to wait a long time for this nifty piece of equipment to arrive.

In other Apple news, Apple TV will be available in February at a cost of $US299 for the 40GB machine.
