Matt and their Wordpress team released an iPhone app so you can blog through your iPhone.

Not bad at all.

“I’m not driven by making a cultural impact [...] That’s just a consequence of taking a remarkably powerful technology and making it relevant. [...] My goal is simply to try to make products that really are meaningful to people. Ultimately there is something motivating and inspiring in seeing someone using an Apple product and enjoying an Apple product.”

-Jonathan Ive, Interviewed by The Independent

Ive is Apple’s Senior VP of Industrial Design, and was in charge of designing the iPod, iMac, iPhone.

Apple and AT&T have released their Rate Plans for the iPhone.

They have the rates for Individual, Family, and Existing plans.

I have to say: they are not that bad, considering the unlimited data transfer, mobile-to-mobile, monthly rollover, and 200 SMS included.

The Family plan for 700 minutes is only $10 more expensive than what Verizon Wireless offers. But if you consider that you have unlimited web access and 200 SMS messages, you have a good deal.

Quite interesting.

Update: They have also released videos on how to activate your iPhone.

Among many new features on OSX Leopard, Steve Jobs just announced the introduction of Safari 3 for Windows.

Apparently The public beta will be is available at http://www.apple.com/safari, and the final version will be released along with Leopard, in October.

The announcement came today at the WWDC 2007, during Steve Jobs’ Keynote Address.

The Apple Online Store was closed through the entire Keynote, sparking speculation about a new product… no such thing, no apparent new products are for sale.

However, the site got a new look, and eliminated the .Mac link from the global navigation.

The front page tenant? OSX Leopard showing off its new features.

Because there has been a lot of buzz about Windows Vista and hardware performance, I recently installed Vista on my Mac Pro with the most current version (at the time of writing this article) of Apple’s BootCamp Beta.

It is now known that Vista requires quite some beefed-up specs to have the so-called Aero Interface active.

I first installed it using Parallels and ran it as a virtual app… which literally felt like a downgraded version of Windows XP. Then that’s when I decided to installed on it’s own partition to take full advantage of the hardware in my Mac Pro.

I was pleasantly surprised on how the Mac Pro performed through the installation process… and even before installing the BootCamp drivers once the Windows installation was complete, the Aero interface was already up and running.

One interesting thing that I found on the System Properties is a ‘Score’ that Windows gives to your hardware configuration. It takes into account the CPU, the RAM, the graphics card, the graphics memory, and the hard disk.

As noted on the image above, the Mac Pro scored a quite comfortable 4.4 on the Windows Experience Index. It is comfortable because…

“A computer with a base score of 4 or 5 is able to run all new features of Windows Vista with full functionality, and it is able to support high-end, graphics-intensive experiences, such as multiplayer and 3‑D gaming and recording and playback of HDTV content. Computers with a base score of 5 were the highest performing computers available when Windows Vista was released.” -Windows Vista Help

One thing that I haven’t been able to find is the full scale… where does it end? is it a 6? a 10? Do you know?.

So, it is safe to say that if you purchase a Mac Pro, You will be able to easily run both Windows Vista and Mac OS X, especially if you are someone like me… I started switching to Mac a bit over 2 years ago, now I have 2 Macs at home (a Mac Pro and a MacBook Pro), and I ocassionally run Windows XP on Parallels, which gives you the advantage of having both Operating Systems running at the same time without the need of restarting the computer… Not the case for Bootcamp, which requires me to restart every time I need to use either OS.

To the point: If you love Macs, but you are still tied to Windows… Get a Mac, and enjoy both worlds.
