It seems every product they make is packed with “WOW” factors. I upgraded to the latest 3.0 firmware as it was released today, the downloading, backup and upgrading took awhile, but the end result was well worth the wait, in fact, my feels like a brand new phone!

One of the coolest new 3.0 feature by far is the “Find My ”. For subscribers, if you ever miss place your , you can use the web interface to see where you left it (cell tower triangulation?) and send a message and alarm to the phone so whoever pick it up can contact you… At the worst case, you can remotely wipe out all the data! That’s badass!

Well, I did a test, the triangulation took a minute or two, and the result was surprisingly accurate! My phone displayed the message and alarm I sent almost instantaneously. I didn’t have the guts to remote wipe my data – Mac backup – I will just take ’s words for it, I am sure it works. ;-)

on Windows

Steve job announced beta for Windows platform at the WWDC this Monday.
!! on Windows!! need I say more?

Downloaded as soon I heard the news, set as my default browser as I opened the application for the very first time… as it turns out, it was a brave move, too early.

While I drool everytime I use the on Vivian’s MacBook Pro, the Windows beta version was utterly disappointing… while the Mac version is blazing fast, the Windows version was slow to the point of unusable!

Have to work on my patient, four more months to go for the OS X Leopard release, that’s when I am going to get my very own MacBook Pro, can’t wait to say Sayonara to the Windows’ world!!

This is Vivian’s new laptop, it is also Vivian’s very first experience with Mac — she is now a believer!

Everything about this Mac just reeks of elegance. From the packing material to the OS X, just got it right! The attentions paid to the details is just amazing, I couldn’t resist myself to take pictures as I open up the box for the very first time. Everything has its place, neat, organized, simple, and just made sense.

Vivian was laughing at me as I took pictures of the Styrofoam, to me, it is just amazing how slick the packing material can even be!

As a notebook, the Mac Pro notebook is in a league of its own, sleek lines, clean look, immaculate package. It is simple but with a huge presence, less really is more.

I can’t wait to get my own Mac in April when OS X Leopard releases…
