NEED MONEY!!!!

So Apple has done it again! My former employer has pushed out more Aluminum and Plastic covered crack.

13" MacBook Pro

That's right I said MacBook Pro and 13" in the same line, and no I didn't stutter.

The "New" 13" MacBook Pro; what makes this a MBP? Spec wise it isn't much different from the previous unibody 13" MacBook, slightly faster chip, same GPU and shared memory, same max RAM. What is different, and thus the "Pro" tag, the screen is now the higher grade OLED, the new industry standard mini-monitor connection, back lit keyboard, and FIREWIRE is back. And the price tag is not bad either; at $1199.00, it is only $200.00 more then the white MB. Add to that AppleCare is still the MacBook price of $250.00 instead of the pricier $350.00 for the 15" and 17" MBP.

All this makes the "little" MBP the laptop for me. I really miss my old 12" G4 PowerBook and this updated 13" model should fit the bill nicely.

iPhone 3G*S

It looks the same on the outside, but is completely different on the inside.

It has a brand new 3MP camera with auto-focus that can also video capture at 30 fps. Not only can you capture video but you can also edit the video right there on the fly with all the elegance and panache on would expect from Apple.

The iPhone also now has an actual magnetic compass that is used by the map app and gives you your orientation on the map. This feature will be available to other app developers as well. And speaking of maps the 3.0 OS will allow integration of the Google Maps in other to other apps as well.

The iPhone is also getting a longer battery life. It is now on par with other cell phones as far as talk/standby time, but is still has features that make it a class unto itself.

There are many, many new features and wizgogs with the new iPhone. I will just have to go play with one to see all the great reasons why I need more money.
