Let me tell you; it is certainly nice to be back doing what I do best, mac news. Today, I start off with the Airport Express wireless base station. It supports 802.11n wireless draft. It also includes wireless printing and even AirTunes for streaming music from your computer to a speaker somewhere else in your house. We just got an Airport Express yesterday, and it is definitely a major upgrade from the previous version. 

Last week, Apple updated its Safari web-browser for both Mac and PC. It is the fastest browser on the internet, and it can run java-script up to six times faster than any other browser.  

Kevin Rose, the founder of the website Digg, claims that they next generation iPhone will have 3G and support video conferencing.  

Finally, we end with Photoshop news. Adobe has launched Photoshop Express as a free beta (https://www.photoshop.com/express/) it provides the most basic editing tools and 2GB of storage. I see this more as a photo sharing site than anything else.

This is another unusual episode of Mac News Weekly. Today, we are “live” in the gorgeous Telluride, Colorado with an interview with Richard Baker. Richard is a partner in NRDC Equity which has bought Lord  Taylor (Richard is the Chairman), a stake in Linens n’ Things, and most recently, Fortunoff. We discuss the Mac, and how it was hard to switch from a PC and about the iPhone for business.  

 Richard was on CNBC the other day, and here is a link to it:

 On Thursday of this week, Apple held a special event called “iPhone Software Roadmap” from their campus in Cupertino. First, they announce support for Microsoft Exchange (push email, push contacts, push calendar and many security features. The biggest announcement was about the SDK for the iPhone and iPod Touch. It is a free download. Scott Forestall demoed a really cool game and then invited developers who used the SDK to talk about what they have made. One of those was Epocrates, a new software that helps doctors. Besides its functionality, it looks absolutely stunning. Steve Jobs said at MacWorld that there would be 1,000 movies for  rental by the end of the month (January), right now in March there are only 384, and some of the HD movies aren’t even HD at all! Finally, we end with a neat trick built right into Leopard. I am travelling next week but will be back on March, 19 with a really awesome episode from a really awesome place.

Apple updates the MacBook and MacBookPro lines. Both models contain Intel’s new Penryn chips (up to 2.4Ghz on the MacBook and 2.6Ghz on the MacBookPro). Most models come with 2GB of RAM Standard, upgradeable to 4GB on all models. The MacBookPro features a multi-touch track-pad and has the option of a high-end graphics card with 512MB of video memory. Apple is planning a press event on March 6^th, which is more than expected to announce and possibly demo the iPhone SDK (Software Development Kit). I had a long interview with Daniel from the Apple Universe Podcast. And then I end with holiday sales figures. Did you know that 40% of all iPods sold during the 2007 holiday season were to first time buyers?
