For anyone with an intel mac

So I was surfing around this morning and came across a few articles talking about Apple charging users with Macbooks or other intel Macs for a software upgrade to unlock wireless 802.11n capabilities, so I was wondering how many of you with these Macs are planning on paying the $2 for it. Apparently they're only charging because law says they have to. If you'd like to read more, check out http://news.com.com/Apple+to+charge+two+bucks+for+faster+Wi-Fi/2100-1044_3-6151281.html?tag=cnetfd.mt

There is nothing listed on Apple's site yet about the charge, just the benefits of the new wireless: http://www.apple.com/wireless/80211/

Wii

So first I just want to thank Vasa for his insider info on wii this weekend in Gville. I'm so tempted to get one and maybe by Sunday if I'm feeling better (I have Strep... again) I'll get out to buy one, especially as I finished Kingdom Hearts 2 yesterday (44 hours with the Ultima Weapon and Donald and Goofy's ultimate weapons as well ^_^)

In other wii news, as if we didn't have enough reasons to buy one, take a look at Engadget's latest project, The Wii Laptop! I WANT ONE is all I can say! http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/19/the-wii-laptop/ and I really want to see how they did it, or better yet if they're going to start selling wii laptop creation kits.

On another note, I know I still haven't written my over the break update, but it's coming at some point, I promise. hehe

iPhone

So Apple has released info on their upcoming iPhone. (Thanks for the heads up Rob!) It looks absolutely amazing except that it's only going to be available from Cingular so far and I think most of you know how I feel about Cingular. The good news: It runs on EDGE network and Wi-Fi and it will have a 6 or 8 gig hard drive so it may be possible to make phone calls using a download of Skype on a data plan from Cingular and then take a smaller voice plan. We'll see though. I signed up for emails from both Cingular and Apple for their upcoming announcements. From the Apple website, it looks like it could be a real winner!

Update: Battery life is very low with 5 hrs of talk/web/video time, but a decent 16 hours of audio.
