First-Person: MacWorld 2008 Time Capsule, Macbook Air and Other Hot Products

MacWorld 2008 is being held in San Francisco, California at the Moscone Center. I attend most of the technological expo's and just got done visiting the CES. This year at MacWorld attendees were able to experience 400 exhibitors with everything from learning to the latest technology in every field that Apple creates as well as two new areas: Mac Developer Boulevard and a Podcast Studio. I was very impressed with Apple's latest products and excited to learn more about the current ones. I found three things that I just couldn't get enough of: the new iPhone free update, Time Capsule and the new MacBook Air.

The iPhone was a huge release for Apple in the last year. It continues to be a top seller and now that I have got to play around with it I can see why. You can do virtually anything with it. I like to describe it as a computer, phone, MP3 player and a TV combined. Though it has so many features its pretty easy to use and the features are pretty easy to navigate through. For the current iPhone customer there will be a new free update for you. This update is available in iTunes 7.5 or above. This update will bring you some interesting new features such as: redesigned MAPS which allows you to automatically find your location, the ability to text message several people with just one message, customize your home screen, get WebClips for your favorite sites and you can watch the movies you rent on iTunes right on your phone. Best of all this update is free. I currently own a Sony Ericcson Z310, but I am getting the new iPhone in two weeks and I can't wait to try out all the new features this update brings.

Time Capsule is a new addition to the Apple family that allows you to wirelessly back-up all the Mac's in your home automatically. I found it to be very easy to use and the set-up is quick and painless. It works with Time Machine and all models will have 500GB's and a 1TB hard drives. It will ship in February and cost you around $299.00-$499.00 a pop. A fair price for such convenient technology I think.
