Will You Buy a Refurbished MacBook Air?
The apple store is selling refurbished Macbook Air at a lower price of course. A Refurbished MacBook Air 1.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo that is currently available for sale at the apple website is now sold at $1,549.00 from the original price of $1,799.00.
Will you buy a refurbished Macbook Air?
Refurbished macbook air is at least 14% cheaper than brand new macbook air units but is it wise to purchase refurbished items from Apple? I have been browsing online for user feedbacks on apple refurbished products and so far, most have been positive.
According to the apple website, their refurbished products go through stringent refurbishment processes before they are offered for sale plus the units come with a one year limited warranty. The only difference that I see between a brand new macbook air and a refurbished one is the box. Refurbished macbook air units may come with a brown box instead of a black box but who cares about boxes if you can save more than 200 dollars? You can buy a much durable under bed storage boxes for less than 10 dollars.

Release Date of Iphone 3G in the Philippines
The much buzzed about Iphone 3G will be hitting the US apple stores on Friday, July 11. Unfortunately, Filipinos who want to buy their brand new iphone 3G will not be able to have their purchase on the official release date of the iphone 3G. This means that Pinoy iphone owner wannabes have to wait much longer before they can purchase the iphone locally. So when will the iphone 3G be released in the Philippines?
I just read from pinoy-reviews.com that Globe will release the iphone some time in August or September this year. Personally though, I think the Philippine iphone “gray market” (if there would be gray and black markets for the iphone 3G) will be releasing the units at an earlier date.

Surf the Internet from Your Car- Even Without a Laptop
We know of small TVs installed on cars so passengers can watch their favorite movies while traveling. Recently though, some drivers are even able to read blogs and visit their favorite websites by merely sitting inside their car — even without a laptop.
According to allworldcars. com, some car companies now offer their clients the ability to surf the internet in their car and that is even without a laptop. The software used for this technology is reportedly already released and drivers of laptopless internet able cars can just select a url from their list of stored web pages and sites and the desired page will be displayed.
See how this works:

Drivers should of course surf the net only when their car is stationary. Everyone knows about the dangers of texting while driving and people who drive and surf the internet all at once are likely to suffer from undesirable consequences.
Honestly though, I find this technology quite redundant. Why pay for such feature when you have a laptop that you can use to connect to the internet regardless where you are? This technology may not even be available to all new car san diego.

Price of Iphone 3G in the Philippines
I was checking the philmug forum today and I realized the iphone 3G may not be much cheaper than the first generation iphone. The speculated price of iphone 3G in the Philippines by some of the forum posters is between 20 to 25 thousand pesos. The price may even reach as high as 30 thousand pesos for those who want to purchase the new iphone under prepaid plans.
The US market price of the new iphone starts at 199 dollars but this will be under a contract with AT&T. The iphone 3G will be officially released by Globe Telecoms and will be made available for both prepaid and postpaid globe users. Knowing how expensive cellphones from Globe are, I am not yet sure if I can afford to buy the new iphone 3G.
