What’s new you ask?  Well not much, other then a new item on the sidebar called applications, at first I got excited and looked to see if the App Store was online, and disappointedly it was not!

Speaking of the app store I’m totally excited to see what’s there.  I’m really looking forward to a twitterriffic application or better yet a socialthing! application.

I’m curious as to whether or not Apple will release the new firmware for the iPhone tomorrow, or wait until the launch date of the iPhone 3G.

Well nothing to exciting to see tonight from Apple, Ill probably miss it all later tonight.

Apple likes to call it “Exchange for the rest of us”.  I call it plain cool.

Mobile me appears to be launching July 9th from 6 p.m until 12 a.m. PT,  Apple has just updated the .Mac status page with that date/time for the .Mac to MobileMe switch. So, for those of you wondering when Apple might start the switch, you will not have to wonder any longer.Apple says that during the switch, users will be unable to access www.mac.com or any .Mac services, with the exception of .Mac Mail accessed via a desktop application.

Apple also says it hopes to have mobile me available as soon possible during the maintenance times, lets all hope so.

For those of you looking to purchase a mobile me subscription, look to amazon.com they are offering mobile me for $89.99 a whole $10.00 cheaper then Apple.

I’ll try to stay on top of this launch but with all the excitement I might forget.

One question that came from the audience wondered why Apple doesn’t participate in the “Intel Inside” program, in which PC manufacturers affix the well-known labels to their computers.

“We like our own stickers better,” Jobs said. “Don’t get me wrong. We love working with Intel. We’re proud to ship Intel products in Macs. They’re screamers, and combined with our OS, we’ve tuned them well. It’s just that everyone knows we use Intel processors. We’d rather not tell them about the product that’s inside the box.”

The only stickers that you’ll find on Apple products are those clear ones that protect them on their magical journey to your doorstep.

Note To Question Asker: Does your maching have a crappy sticker on it getting goo all over your wrists?

In what can be seen as either a joke or a real attempt to get employees to give up Apple iPods in favor of the Zune MP3 player, the team at Microsoft that builds Zune has set up a bin at its headquarters so employees can drop in iPods they don’t want to use anymore.

From the looks of the photo, not many people have been willing to give up their iPods, though a few of the earlier versions of Apple’s popular media players were lying at the bottom of the bin.

A note to everyone who believes that $499 is too much to pay for Apple’s iPhone: The Motorola RAZR was originally introduced at that price. It went on to become the best selling phone in the world before RAZR marketer Geoffrey Frost died and Motorola went on its “We will not be undersold” price-cutting binge.
