Will 2008 be the year of ridiculous iPhone accessories? It just might…and to kick things off we have the iPhone Telescope lens. The clunky looking lens zooms an additional 6X from the standard iPhone along with a “super” wide angel lens.

The iPhone Telescope clicks into a crystal case which then snaps onto the iPhone itself. The idea would be keeping the clear case attached to the phone and whenever you’re ready to take some pics, you whip out the lens and attached it. I personally, would pack a decent point-n-shoot camera if I’m lugging around a zoom lens anyway - but hey, that’s just me.

After dropping a couple hundred on your iPhone, if you are slightly curious than another $18.99 is a no-brainer to see what the iPhone Telescope lens can do.

Although Apple has already sold 7 million movies, Jobs said: “That’s more than everyone else put together, but it did not meet our expectations.”

Apple plans on overhauling their strategy by making 2 major changes:

1. Adding a new online movie rental service
2. Updating the Apple TV’s software so that viewers can stream movies direct from the internet sans (that’s Latin for without) computer.

Jobs thinks that viewers would prefer to rent movies, not buy them. As a result, the new Apple TV software will allow users to (more…)

I hope you didn’t buy a new Apple laptop recently. Steve Jobs announced the MacBook Air at Macworld today.

The MacBook Air is the “World’s Thinnest Notebook” - even thinner than the Sony TZ, which is 0.8 to 1.2 inches thick. It’s so thin it fits in a manila envelope. Seriously. See the image below! Apple’s goal was to make a high performance 3 pound laptop, with a full size keyboard, and large display.

The MacBook Air is so thin, it only has 4 ports: USB 2.0, Micro-DVI, headphone jack and a MagSafe 45w power adapter plug.

So what did Apple leave out? (more…)
