Proof that one is still very far from having exploited the full potential of the iPhone, HP proposes on the AppStore a software called Photo iPrint.

As its name lets us guess, it allows the direct printing of photographs stored on the iPhone on any HP printer (only) as long as it is accessible via Bonjour. The software is offered at the following address:

Definitely, even if Apple attracts attacks by its competitors, it achieves unanimity among counterfeiters. Here the latest iPhone clone to date.

Called the EPHONE M8, it is quad band, manages audio, video, memory extensions and has even a double site for the SIM card. It is sold around $150 naked.
Of course, Apple does not have great a deal to fear from this kind of telephone, at least in the Western countries, especially since its principal interest lies in the added-value brought by the AppStore.

According to the Economic Daily News, a Chinese newspaper, Quanta which manufactures the majority of the computers for Apple, prepares to manufacture 800.000 new iMac per month during first quarter of 2009.
According to other rumours, this computer will diverge partly from the portable range by adopting Core 2 Quad processors intended for the office machines while using the Geforce 9400M chipset.
Rendez-vous at the Macworld Expo for confirmation.

It is some time since we have spoken about the refurb; their offers being uninteresting. However this morning they propose Mac mini Core 2 duo 1,83 GHz for 409€.
Also note that the entry ticket for a Macbook is 799€, 1149€ for the MacBook Air, 819€ for the iMac and since a long time the last MacBook Pro with a matte screen.
