Looking for a wireless notebook mouse? Well, here’s the deal for you: Buy.com has the Logitech VX Revolution for $35 ($55 – $20 mail-in rebate). MSRP is $80 so this is a steal.
This is a leaked Cingular iPhone ad (click image to see the full version) that lists some potential pricepoints for the iPhone as well as the potential costs for the iPhone rate plan. I got the info from Appleiphonereview.com and Engadget and have a summary below:
Price w/2-year contract: $299 (4GB) and $399 (8GB) vs. $499 & $599 w/o contract
Monthly Rate Plan options:
Voice: $39.99 for 450 minutes, unlimited mobile-to-mobile calling, and 5,000 night/weekend minutes
Data: $4.99/mo for 200 text messages or $19.99/mo for 200 text messages and unlimited Internet & Visual Voicemail.
If these prices hold true, it will make it a lot easier for people to buy the iPhone and switch to Cingular.
There are some more rumors that OS X 10.5 (Leopard) will be released at the end of March. I’ve come across a few sources reporting this same rumor.
With the release of Windows Vista, there’s going to be a lot more focus on what Leopard brings to the table and how it stacks up against Vista. Yes, we all agree that Vista “leveraged” a lot of features from Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) but I think Leopard will need to bring some more innovative features (other than the ones already revealed) to keep feeding the ‘pro-Apple’ momentum. Let’s hope those ‘top-secret’ features, that Steve Jobs mentioned, are killer-features.
Update (2/28/2007) I must say, my gut is telling me that Leopard will NOT be released in March but more likely in June. There really isn’t a benefit for Apple to release Leopard earlier and, I believe, Apple will want to coincide the release of Leopard with some updated hardware (like those rumored MacBook Pros) to garner some more hardware sales.
