Is just me or does it seem like all the neatest gadgets and software these days are coming from Apple, Inc.? 

1. We do a lot of Mac development work for outside companies and right when Apple came out with the Intel laptop along with BootCamp our work life got much easier. We could finally do Mac and Windows work on one portable system without the headache of having to work with Windows on a clunky (Dell?) laptop. Currently, our office has been using Mozilla Thunderbird so we have access to the same email when either booting to Mac or PC but that will probably go away when Paralells releases their 2.0 version, which will more fully support the Mac hardware. From then on out we will only have to boot Mac to run Windows based software. 

2. I just went to Apple’s web site and fooled around with the newly announced iPhone. Just one look at their 160ppi screen you can easily view and read a web site on a small screen, which really makes it worth it. After Leopard, supposedly iWork and iLife too will be available for the iPhone.  Just playing with it on the web site makes me want one even more. My current phone is starting to fall apart, so in June I will probably be in line to get one. I wonder, is this going to be the laptop of the future? 

 If only the American auto makers could duplicate Apple’s comeback!
