Last week, I tweeted about the Dell Adamo, and now it's been launched. At first, we thought it would a MacBook Pro competitor, but it's actually more comparable to the Air. It'll sell for $2000.

GBTV #523 (small) | Apple Product Refreshes, Best Job in the World Contest Today is a big product refresh from Apple. They've updated iMacs, the Mac Mini and the Mac Pro. Very little has changed on the outside of any of the machines. It's all about faster, better more effecient performance. The Mac Pro internal system architecture has been re-designed to make upgrades even easier. Out of everything that's changed, I'm most excited about the new Airport Extreme.

GBTV #520 (small) | Apple TV Update Breaks Boxee, Safari 4 The latest Apple TV update (2.3.1) breaks Boxee again. Sales of the Apple TV surged in the last quarter of 2008, and my guess is that Boxee was a factor. Boxee is a killer app for Apple TV and I would love to see Apple open up the platform. If you already have Boxee installed, you can update Apple TV and just use the patchstick to re-install. It's inconvienient, but not the end of the world.

It combines great software, great service and a very nice little piece of hardware. Kindle 2 feels better to hold.

A year ago, I hosted a panel on 4G. Back then, no one was really talking about it except for a select few, but now we're beginning to see some action.

We've talked about Savant a few times on GeekBrief.TV and did an interview on Geek Brief Radio, but Macworld was my first chance to see the gorgeous onscreen interface in person. Because the Savant system is built on top of OSX and uses Mac hardware, they take advantage of core animation and the result is a navigation system that looks really, really nice.
