a day in the life

Wow, I got this voicemail from Ally at 1:34am this morning. All I have to say is WOW.

All I have to say is Wow. Please watch this video. And pass it on.

When I purchased my Intel iMac in February, I also purchased iWork ‘06 with it. Problem is, now I need to restore my system using the restore media and I don’t want to loose my licensed copy of the software. I emailed the support team before the holiday in an attempt to find a resolution to my rather quickery problem. They wrote me back yesterday and suggested I call the Apple Care support line. Well, that’s exactly what I did today. Half expecting them to say “Sorry, you need to purchase another copy,” I gave my rep my web order number and after a few minutes on hold was pleasantly surprised. Rather than attempt to find the serial number they told me they were going to just re-order the software for me, at not additional charge, with standard overnight All I have to say is, Apple, you ROCK!

All I have to say is, ABOUT FREAKING TIME. This phone was announced in 2005 and I saw a live version at CES in January, but it has sorta fallen off the radar since. Except for the FCC Approval, no news until today. Engadget is reporting that the Nokia Blackberry killer will be hitting states side soon. The device will supposedly not feature UMTS or Wifi (in the Cingular flavor), which is lame, but expected. It should also sport a wide range of wireless email services, including: Good, MS Direct Push, Blackberry Connect (which I demoed on the Nokia 9300 and wasn’t too impressed with) an of course ExpressMail (powered by Seven). One really cool thing about this phone though is that apparently there is a USB hardware profile to support Mass Storage device. Cant wait!
