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.

Perhaps underscoring the phasing out of Firewire on Macs, Apple has added the Migration and DVD/CD Sharing Update to Macs (OS 10.4.11 and 10.5.5) using the Software Update feature.
The software, previously available with the Macbook Air and as a separate download, allows users to migrate from one Macintosh computer to another using not only Firewire, but Ethernet or a wireless connection. The latest Macbook, part of a consumer series that Steve Jobs declared the best selling Macintosh ever, is shipping with no Firewire port at all, and the Macbook Pro ships with only a Firewire 800 port.
The software also allows a computer on which it is installed to act as a remote optical drive for a Macbook Air.
