By Dean • Mar 2nd, 2009 • Category: iPhone

Do you have an Apple iPhone and a large media library collection on your Mac computer that you want to enjoy while roaming around the house, but without disturbing others? Then all you need is to get the new media Mac to iPhone media streaming application called AirPhones. AirPhones can convert your iPhone into a wireless music receiver and stream music directly from your Mac PC to your iPhone. You can then easily hear it on your iPhone via headsets.

The AirPhones converts any headphones into a wireless sound station. You can use it to stream any audio source residing on your Mac desktop. And if you don’t happen to have an Apple MacBook Pro, then you can always download the AirPhones for Windows version. Whether it’s an iTunes album, or a YouTube video, AirPhones can work seamlessly with all of them. Once you get AirPhones you don’t have to spend lots of bucks on pricy wireless earphones. It’s the best and cheapest alternative to devices that claims to offer wireless access to music library on PC.

Just get the AirPhones application and install it on your Mac. Then you need to download a free server application that runs on your Mac desktop. Make sure that the iPhone and Mac are on same wireless network and you are ready to listen to your PC songs on your phone wirelessly. Once the connection is established you can roam in your house and to some extent you can go out also, as far as you are within the range.

Is there an Apple Subnotebook coming in 2009?

By Jenny • Aug 7th, 2008 • Category: Laptops

It seems as if computer manufacturers the world over have been infected by the Eee PC craze. Only months after the surprising and stunning success of the Eee PC subnotebook, or netbook, an entire new laptop genre was created, with every major computer maker struggling to announce their own competitive model. Recently Lenovo, and Fujitsu-Siemens Computers joined the ranks of companies like Acer, Dell, Gigabyte, and HP, by announcing their Netbooks. It appears as though no computer manufacturer has been left untouched, or are we forgetting one major player; namely, Apple? One might think Apple already has their own dedicated market and the company doesn’t need to get involved in the cheap netbook market, however, recent rumours and assertions by top analysts claim Apple has also been infected by the netbook virus; with their own Apple netbook planned for a 2009 release.

USB analyst Maynard Um has questioned his sources in the industry and believes Apple will upgrade and update its MacBook by the end of this year. Furthermore, he goes on to claim the next generation MacBook will be a true subnotebook, not like the MacBook Air. While the Apple MacBook Air is thin and light, its 13 inch screen is relatively large. The advantage of netbooks like the Eee PC, despite the reduced performance, is that they are easily transportable in small personal bags, and can be effortlessly opened in small spaces with no hassle.

If the appearance of “Hackintosh” netbooks is any indication, there is ample demand for a smaller Mac: Leopard has already been successfully installed on the Eee PC, MSI Wind and other devices. On the hand, all of these netbooks occupy the lowest price range, something Mac computers are not known for. According to the Analyst Um, the Apple netbook was originally slated for a 2008 release, but will be delayed to 2009.

With this prediction UBS has certainly started the rumour mills, and only time, or confirmations by Apple, will tell how accurate the assertions prove to be.
