To all Apple OS X Leopard lovers out there, I’m sure this will make you feel really happy! It seems that, as far as rumors go, that the latest version of OS X, 10.6, the Snow Leopard will be out on the market beginning with the Q1 of 2009. Isn’t that good news?

The chart you see above is a slide from the slideshow presentation at LISA ‘08, in which Hubbard presented it, including the probable release date.

I can hardly wait to see all the new and upgraded features in the new Leopard! We already know about the 64-bit, multi-core support, Open Compute Language and we’re ready for so much more. Stay posted for more details in the future.

I guess Psystar fans should definitely see this. While the people who installed a running copy of Mac OS X aren’t trying to sell the tuned Dell Inspiron Mini 9 to anyone, this goes to prove that Appe’s OS could run on PC’s too. Imagine what would happen if Psystar wins it’s trial with Apple! Imagine how Microsoft will go all berserk if a judge will tell manufacturers that selling PC with Mac OS X will be ok! (more…)

I was telling you about EFi-X and its progress just a couple of days ago, but when I went ahead and tried to order one online I found out that’s not an available option yet.

And here we are a few days later when I hear the dongle is ready to ship to anyone. It will come in to versions: USB V1 for all users and USB V2 for developers. I guess it’s so fascinating being able to run Apple’s OS X on any PC that I am considering getting such a device. It’s just $155!

Question is, is EFi-X going to be OK with Apple later on? Or will Apple go after it in court?

While Apple is suing Psystar and Psystar is counter-suing Apple for minor things like copyright infringement or monopoly-like-something related to using Mac OS on cheap PCs, there’s a device which would make such a thing possible to every one of us.

Well it’s none other than Kevin Rose, founder of Digg, that has some interesting leaked information about upcoming Apple products. It appears that he knows Apple secrets, or at least he does have some good inside sources.

If what he is saying is true, we’re going to see a totally new redesigned iPod nano which will not only bring a wider and longer screen but it will have a whole new body concept. The iPod touch will get some make up here and there but it won’t significantly change. The iPods are said to be available sometime in September. And Rose is saying future iPods will get important price cuts.

As for Apple software, we are to expect a whole new iTunes 8.0 with lots of new things included. Then there’s iPhone firmware 2.1 which is going to be released. iPod touch will have this software installed by default. And Mac OS 10.5.6 is going to get Blu-ray support.

Should we believe all this? Let’s see what September brings!

Remember the OS X USB device developed by EFiX? We’ve talked about this tool for laptops a while back ago. Using it you will be able to install a fresh copy of Max OS X on your PC and once you have done it you could use it without having any compatibility problems. Or so they say. There wasn’t any price mentioned for it back then but it appears things have changed.

I’ve been making a little fun of small laptops all day. Sure they are small, they are affordable, they are really mobile, they are pretty fast, but they are small. Here’s something that made me reconsider their power. An MSI Wind has been hacked and tricked into believing it’s a Mac when in fact it isn’t.

As I was saying earlier, people would do anything to make a bad thing look good. I smell a rat here! When I say people I mean Dell. When I say bad thing I mean Windows Vista. Good must mean Apple-like and when I say rat, well I mean Microsoft.

Sure the Dock idea is nice but it’s so Apple. It looks really good and Dell promises it will be fully customizable. But will that make Vista run smoother? I don’t think so! I think I will have to get one more gigabyte of RAM just to make that Dock run.

Better get myself a fresh Windows XP copy as I know what the first thing will be when I get one of these Dells. Or maybe I might just install a Mac OS X on it.

How come I didn’t figure this out for myself? The best upgrade for my PC from Vista isn’t Windows XP but a full, original Max OS X. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to try that? It will give you a feel of what Apple is all about and if it isn’t for you, then you can simply switch back to your Vista PC.

It appears that Apple is thinking ahead following complaints on iPhone’s touch keyboard usability. Is this just another rumor? According to this screenshot taken by a Chinese site it could be true. When is English/Any Language coming?

I have one a question though, or actually more than one. How are we to write? Which finger can be best used for such a writing endeavor? Is there a stylus coming to iPhone? Where is it going to fit? Is this a picture a fake after all? Will Apple release an official story? Is this new “technology” going to be based on Inkwell, the handwriting tool in Mac OS X?
