Well don’t act so surprised no, the phone in the picture here looks like the Tour because that’s exactly what it is. Although RIM likes to call it the Essex, we’ll think about it as a pimped our Tour touting WiFi support. And yes, the trackball has been replaced with a new trackpad but other than that it’s the same Tour. We have no idea when the Essex is going to be available but we’ll keep you posted!

We all know that there are various ways to access PCs and for people who hold talks and presentations, the need for flexible interface is a need. Guess what? With an iPhone, you can control your PC from a distance with Air Mouse Pro!

The top half of the Air Mouse Pro Screen features a two-button trackpad, while the bottom half gives you a keyboard, along with controls for browsing the Web and playing movies and music. Using the accelerometer and touchscreen of either an iPhone or iPod touch, Air Mouse works over a local Wi-Fi network to control your computer’s mouse and keyboard.

Before using the app, you do need to install a small application on your computer-there’s a version for both Mac OS X and Windows users-which manages the connection and controls many of the mouse and keyboard settings.

Price: $6.00

So how’s your new MacBook? Is it working fine? No problems? If peachy is not quite the word you had in mind, it must be because of that faulty trackpad. A few people have been reporting the issue already. It looks like the trackpad doesn’t respond to clicks anymore after 50 clicks. The pad stops working for 5 to 10 clicks and then it resumes full functionality. In any case it’s not something that couldn’t be solved with the correct Apple download. So how’s your new MacBook?
