A peek at the features that made it to the new iPhone 3G S, plus some of the lesser known announcements that came today at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference.
When you think of the Apple Macintosh, you might think of a smooth-running, elegantly designed, though comparatively expensive, laptop or desktop computer that is used largely in homes. But can Macs also play a part in the workplace?
The answer seems to be, increasingly, yes. For instance, the Orange County, Calif., Sheriff's Department recently purchased 175 iMacs and MacBook laptops, which will work within the department's Microsoft Windows environment. "They are used in regular office space for all types of assignments," said Assistant Sheriff James McDonald. "We also use them in the training room and we use some for video editing and podcasting."

While straitened circumstances in the banking industry might mean the suits eat more sandwiches at the desk, the rule remains that there is no such thing as a free lunch.
Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster thinks Apple will introduce new iPods and new model laptop at a special event in September.
It's not entirely speculation - the analyst observes Apple to have held such an event for the last three years. And while the analyst doesn't expect an iPhone nano or MacBook touch to appear at the show, he does anticipate some major revisions of Apple laptops.
Munster predicts redesigned MacBooks at lower prices, along with a redesigned MacBook Pro.
"We note that the MacBook has had the same design since its launch over two years ago, and the MacBook Pro has had essentially the same design since its launch over 2.5 years ago, which was very similar in design to the PowerBook G4 released over 5.5 years ago," he told clients.
I've had my new 3G Apple iPhone for about a month now and I thought I'd take a few minutes to write some of my thoughts and reflections on the experience for people who might be considering upgrading to the new 3G iPhone. First a little background though.
