Our new podcast: Meet...
We know. Podcasts are so last year - but this one you won't want to miss. Whether it’s a rumor that won’t die, a new product announcement, or just a really good Macintosh or iPhone app find that we have to let you know about, we’ll make sure it’s covered on Appletellcast.
iPhone App Reviews
iPhone Apps. They were great when the App Store was first announced and we could all pick and chose what we wanted, but the number is now overwhelming. Here at Appletell, we'll detail the great iPhone apps we find, and steer you clear from those that aren't worth it even if they're free.
iPhone Game Reviews
As Apple turns the iPhone into one of the most popular gaming devices, the staff of Appletell--gamers and Apple fans alike--are here to help you get the most entertainment value out of your app store purchases.
And so it goes with Wall Street. Half an hour before Apple’s MacBook event today, Apple was trading at $109.80 (down 0.46). We’re now half an hour after the event, and AAPL is down -5.39 to 104.87.
This tends to be the trend with Wall Street, though where Apple almost always drops after a keynote. Whether this is due to products not meeting expectations, the continuing belief that people will eventually quit paying the premium for Apple products, or to any number of other factors that I don’t get paid six figures to understand, I’ll leave to those who do get paid six figures to understand.
Regarding said premium, I find it somewhat amusing that Apple’s only option, apparently, to hit the sub-$1,000 market on MacBooks was to lower the price of the low-end MacBook by $100 and not give it the updates of the other models. If our economy wasn’t in shambles right now, would Apple have even bothered with this? Why keep that old style MacBook around at all when everything else is going Aluminum, other than to have something…anything out there with a price that doesn’t require a comma?
And will anyone really buy it just to save $300?
