Apple’s new 27-inch iMacs apparently experiencing performance issues
Apple’s discussion forums have begun to flood with threads by users complaining of poor performance on the company’s new 27-inch iMacs, which were introduced to the public last week.

iPhone has finally launched in China
The iPhone has finally officially launched in China, with one major feature missing: built-in Wi-Fi.

The current word is that most Apple retail stores have received and begun to sell the new Magic Mouse.

In the 10-K annual report (PDF) Apple filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (posted yesterday), the company made note that it plans to “vigorously” defend itself in a lawsuit that Nokia filed last week.

Apple’s Magic Mouse now shipping
People have started receiving shipping notices from Apple stating that their Magic Mouse orders have been shipped. When the Magic Mouse was introduced, Apple stated it would be bundled with the new iMac models and would not be available for standalone purchase until the end of October. These new shipping notices show that Apple is likely meeting this goal even though the Magic Mouse has yet to make its appearance in Apple retail stores.
Google Reader makes its way to the Mac desktop with Gruml
Gruml has been around for a while now, but its first beta was extremely glitchy; too much to make it a very interesting and useful application.
