The new iMacs are very thin. The entire stand and unit is only about 8" deep for the 24" display. The unit that houses the display and components itself is only about two to three inches thick. The display is thinner on the edges of the unit and thicker in the center where it comes together with the stand. Outside of the changed display, the stand is similar to the previous iMac. Want more gritty details? You're going to have to read the article!

Looking back now, things seemed so different in my coverage of the iPhone announcement... I talked the most about the phones features, rather than the user experience. And that's what the iPhone has come to symbolize. It doesn't have 3G speeds, GPS, Adobe Flash or stereo Bluetooth capabilities, but judging from the long lines and sold out stores this past weekend it doesn't seem to matter that much. What does seem to matter is making the experience easier and more convenient, and having it all in one device. The content of the ads (unlike most other phone ads which tell you what their products can do) showed you what the product does along with how it gets done. People could see how easy getting around the phone was, and that's what they wanted. After all, what good is a phone if the features are too difficult for most people to utilize? But would a huge bug with the data and phone service be enough to sour my experience?

The Apple iPhone is a revolutionary product that will change the way cell phones are used forever. Yes, it's that amazing.

Apple may have blazed a trail in the world of digital music players for the past few years, but in the flash player stakes it's beginning to fall behind the competition. Not in the number of players it sells, or the amount of legal music downloads its customers enjoy, but in what it's managing to fit into its smaller players. It still insists on not squeezing a screen onto its shuffle while other manufacturers' tiny players are building them in. And its latest nano, despite much of the competition incorporating video playback features as standard, is still sticking to its music-only philosophy, even though it has a lovely colour screen.

If you are a heavy iTunes user with lots of video and music on your iPod and sitting on your computer, the Apple TV will make watching your content more enjoyable on a big screen. I was disappointed to see that the Apple TV does not come with any type of cables to connect the device to your TV. You would think at the price you are paying for even the 40GB version I am looking at here Apple could have thrown in a cheap component cable at minimum.

The benighted PC manikin played by Dave Mitchell in Apple's recent ads must be thinking Robert Webb's Mac is having yet another coy giggle. Having bubbled on about how much better the software is that's supplied with a Mac, Apple has decided to offer some of it on the platform of its market-leading rival; it has released the Safari Internet browser for Windows.

The basic format and design of Apple's revolutionary iPod has remained unchanged over the years and despite many pretenders to the throne, its popularity has never waned. It's a design classic and Apple has wisely declined to mess with it.

With the latest update from Apple that was released a couple of weeks back, the Macbook Pro is now on its third revision now. I owned the original Core Duo based MBP but never felt the need to upgrade to the second revision which was mainly a CPU upgrade to Intel's Core 2. This latest update certainly offers a lot more more reasons to upgrade.

Apple's AirPort Extreme is an extremely simple wireless networking solution delivering better the performance (Apple says five times) and twice the range of the previous AirPort Extreme. Based on Draft-N, the AirPort Extreme extends a wireless network to even more areas in a home or office and makes streaming digital content and transferring large files faster and easier.

So where does this leave Apple TV? In all honestly, I thought about it for some time and I realized that the Apple TV is the platform for the rest of us!

We put the Apple TV through a series of tests to determine how hot it gets while playing content. We even used an infrared camera!

With more fanfare and consumer enthusiasm than most companies could ever hope to muster, in late 2006 Apple announced the Apple TV. The Apple TV is Apple's opening foray into the near-trillion-dollar industry of television and movie entertainment and is billed as a product that'll revolutionize the home media experience. The Apple TV, like the iPhone, represents a bold and risky move away from the controlled and perfected realm of computing and into the generic and saturated media streamer markets. Will this new $299 Apple TV be the quintessential blockbuster hit, or will it quietly struggle for survival amongst consumers with ever-soaring expectations?

I was amazed with the distance I was able to cover without dropping any signal strength. 150 feet - full signal. 200 feet - full signal. 250 feet - a momentary dip, then back to full signal. 300 feet (I could barely see the AirPort Extreme by this point) - full signal. Another 20 feet and the signal dropped to almost nothing. I looked up from my laptop and discovered that several people had crossed into my path, directly between the base station and my laptop. I shooed them out of the way and the signal went back up to full strength. I kept walking and found that my signal finally dropped to half strength by the time I had passed 350 feet.
