26 September 2007 @ 9:27AT&T Will Upgrade Network to 3G

InformationWeek reports that AT&T will be upgrading their network to 3G. This should provide even more of a push for Apple to make the iPhone 3G-capable. In London this month, Jobs when asked why 3G was not supported with the iPhone, responded that “[t]he 3G chipsets are real power hogs. Handset battery life cuts power to 2-3 hours.” Yeah yeah, we’ve heard it before. “Our phone has a talk time of 8 hours and that’s really important when you want to use your phone for internet and music. 3G needs to get back up to 5+ hours, something we think well see later next year. … WiFi is way faster than any 3G network. Energy efficient EDGE with better, faster WiFi. That’s why we chose it.”

AT&T’s upgrades will occur during October and November. The upgrade will boost network speeds to 500 to 800 kilobits per second (kbps), from its current speed of about 120 kbps.

26 September 2007 @ 9:02Save Big on Apple Refurbs

I just noticed some nice savings on Apple products in the refurbished section of the store. In laptop lineup, you can get a MacBook for as little as $799. They are also selling a refurbished iMac 17-inch 1.83GHz Intel Core Duo for $749. That’s a great deal, in my opinion! Mac Minis start at $479. Also, iPods start at $49, and an 8GB iPhone can be had for only $349. Keep in mind that all refurbished products come with a 1-year warranty.

25 September 2007 @ 15:18Amazon to Rival iTunes Music Store

Amazon’s newly launched music store (Amazon MP3) claims to have the world’s largest selection of DRM-free music. As with iTunes Music Store’s DRM-free downloads, these songs will play in most MP3 players. The difference being, iTunes’ DRM-free songs are AAC and $1.29 each (currently only music from EMI), while Amazon’s are MP3 and $0.99 each ($0.89 each for top 100 songs). As of now, there are 2 million songs available from Amazon MP3. Amazon’s download application is needed to download albums and is currently available for Window and Mac, with a Linux version coming soon. Singles may be downloaded directly from a browser.

Amazon MP3 may be iTunes’ first real competition.

Below are some best-selling MP3 albums from Amazon.
