This is just in. Apple is holding a Media event dubbed as “Back to the Mac” on Wednesday, October 20th. Going by the title on the invitation card, it looks like this event is going to focus entirely on Macs, unlike some of the recent events which were all geared towards iOS (iPhones, iPads and iPod touches).
Make FaceTime-like Video Calls from iPhone 4 to Android, Symbian, Windows 7, Mac OS X and Vice Versa
Remember when we posted a rumor that FaceTime would soon be coming to OS X and Windows? Our wishes have been answered in a mega way, sort of.
The guy behind The MacBook Air Project site has managed to fit a fully working Mac (MacBook Air to be more precise) under a combination of Apple Wireless Keyboard and the newly released Magic Trackpad. It is one single piece which you can connect to any monitor to enjoy full Mac OS X experience. Amazing isn't it? It features: 1.6 Ghz Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of RAM, and 80GB of HDD. He did this because he believed that it “will be used much beyond internet / email….maybe as an Apple TV replacement”.
It was just April of this year when we first started hearing about an affordable Hackintosh-capable touch-screen Tablet called the Axon Haptic. Today, it is a reality and you’ll be able to pre-order it this week for $750, oh and did I tell you that it runs Windows 7, Mac OS X and Linux - all in one!
The Apple enthusiast 9to5 Mac site has published a complete video of first hands-on and impressions of the newly released Magic Trackpad by Apple for all desktop based Macs. For those of you who don’t know, Magic Trackpad is basically a larger desktop version of touchpads found in MacBook Pros. You can use it for swiping, pinch-to-zoom, two-finger scrolling, finger tip rotation and so on. Since the entire Trackpad acts as a single button, you can effectively use it as a replacement to your mouse.
Apple today has updated their existing iMac lineup by dumping Core 2 Duo altogether and bringing Intel’s Core i3, i5 and i7, along with faster graphics card options. Available in both 21.5 and 27 inches, the prices of both the entry level base model, and the flagship model remains same as the older ones, except that these new ones have more power then ever before.
Here’s some interesting news related to iMac and iOS 4. How many of you thought that iOS 4 is limited to the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad only? We used to think the same, but looks like all that’s going to change. Apple is planning to ship iOS with its next iMac refresh with a touch-screen display.
It is out now and it is official ! The Mac OS X 10.6.4 Snow Leopard update has been released.

WWDC 10 is going to be a huge event for both developers and consumers. Apple has got some cool new things to announce such as the new iPhone 4 / HD. But what are the other things which we should expect from Steve Jobs’ WWDC 10 keynote? Let’s take a look at them.
