  • Successor to the Power Mac G5

    • Macbook Pro

  • Upgrade to Merom Processor
  • New enclosure, Blu-Ray drive…

    • iPod Nano

  • Same form factor, but using aluminum like the iPod mini

    • New Apple Cinema Displays

  • Featuring HDCP for Blu-Ray / HD-DVD
  • Integrated iSight

    So yesterday we went into town looking for a good bar but we didn’t find any good ones. We ended up eating Little Caesar’s pizza on the side of the road as people asked us if we wanted “sand”, “nose candy”, and “blow”. No thanks, i kinda wanna become a doctor when i’m older…

    Today we went to the beach. I got to go jet skiing :D It was really fun. Anyways, I’m typing this really fast b/c we’re about to go on this really colorful bus and go bar hopping. laterz

    After the long-ass plane rides, we’ve finally made it to Aruba. We started our trip by having lunch at a sports bar where we all got drinks (had myself a corona). God….it’s paradise here.

    I’ll update frequently, but i forgot my memory card at home so my sister’s bringing it tomorrow when she comes. Alright, peace, time to gamble and drink.

    So I finally switched to Verizon last Saturday. All I can say is that the Palm Treo 700p is soooo sweet.

    Design:
    The phone is about as thick as two RAZRs stacked ontop of one another and just a little longer than one. The little knob-like antenna that protudes out of the top doesn’t bother me at all. When it’s in my pocket, I can barely feel it (which was a big suprise to me). Once i get my leather case from Vaja though, i think that’ll change. I installed an InvisibleShield on the screen to protect it from everything inside of my pockets, and it’s doing its job. The QWERTY keyboard is excellent. This being my first phone with one, it’s amazing how fast I can text / type into AIM with it. The keys light up in the dark w/ a very nice illumination effect. There are four main buttons on the phone: Phone, Calendar, E-Mail, and Applications.
