Just a quick FYI: Costco is working hard to get rid of their iPod inventory to make room for the new iPods released earlier this week. Some pretty nice price cuts are rumored to be in effect. As I hear it they are as follows:
So if you have a local Costco nearby, it might be worth a visit to see if they have any left.
So here I sit, relaxing in a nice little chair, drinking a frozen Gatorade and watching the lemmings, I mean iPhone fans that had been standing in line for over 2 hours file themselves one by one into the Apple store tonight. I leave my comfy chair only once, and just for a moment, as an Apple employed cameraman comes by to ask if he could take a picture of me in my iBAM shirt. I say yes, he says “That’s the best shirt I’ve seen all day”, I feel good about myself and return to my chair. In a way, I feel bad for these brave soles, most of them look like it’s Christmas morning, dancing and smiling for the TV cameras, digital photographers and multiple interviewers standing outside the line divider ropes that feed them into the store like cattle. “iPhone BABY!”, shouts one fan and cheering follows down the long line around the outside of the building. Some had been there all day, braving the Phoenix heat, others had paid good money for front of the line placement. I watched in amazement as very few walked out of the store with just one phone to themselves. One gentleman had four of them and quite a bounce in his step as he pranced away.

This morning brings us a brand new release from Apple. MacBook Pro’s have been upgraded. Of course, those of us (like me) who haven’t even had their MBP for a year are a little bummed, but nevertheless, it’s a necessary evil.

I guess I’m a little happy that the upgrade isn’t HUGE or anything, but I am a little bummed that mine is so new and there’s an upgrade. Anyway, those of you that have been holding out for the upgrade to make your purchase, here’s your chance. Pull out your wallet and join the revolution! [Continued]

I’ve had my AppleTV for about two weeks now and thought I would share some of my thoughts on one of Apple’s next big gadgets. [Continued]
Unveiled by innovation maestro Steve Jobs during his Keynote presentation at the 2007 MacWorld Expo in San Francisco, Apple TV is set to bring the next inevitable phase of evolution to your living room. It’s a tiny unit – 7.7 inches square and just a shade over an inch high – but it will pack a powerful punch in your entertainment center. [Continued]
