- Sharp discounts on VMware Fusion at buy.com
With version 1.1 just around the corner, it's a perfect time to pick up a VMware Fusion license, and Smith Micro (friendly publisher of many Mac utils) wants to sweeten the pot by offering a $20 rebate on Fusion purchases. Nice enough, but what if you wanted an extra $10 off the purchase price? Well, for new Google Checkout customers, scootch over to buy.com and take that $10 off; you can pick up Fusion for a cool $31.11, free shipping included. Academic users can probably find comparable discounts at the campus computer store.
If you do buy Fusion, be sure to fill out your rebate forms carefully, and don't forget to check the little box telling Smith Micro not to bother you with promotional mailings and email. Otherwise, you're liable to get weekly offers for Stuffit Deluxe and FAXstf.

Filed under: Hardware, Portables, Apple History
Who needs an iPhone when you've got a Newton 2100?
Using a Nokia Card Phone 2.0 he got on Ebay for 10 Euros, a HDC-6D headset (Cost: 1 Euro), a prepaid T-Mobile SIM card (10 euros) and NewtSMS+ 1.10a beta (free), Marcus Hammerschmitt (original post in German and Google-translated) was placing calls with his Newt -- shades of 1997. He explains:
"I installed [NewtSMS+ 1.10a beta] on my Newton MP 2100. I put the SIM card into my Nokia Card Phone. Plugged the card phone into my Newt. Let NewtSMS+ know the PIN of my SIM card, and was ready to go...For my money (exactly 35 euros / about 48 USD in this case), the Newton does a brilliant job."
He goes on to note that the Phone Card also works with his eMate, old Compaq laptop and Nokia 6310i. Nicely done!

Filed under: iPod Family, iTS, iTunes, iPhone
Today is October 2nd, the official launch of the Wi-Fi iTunes Store for Starbucks in Seattle and New York City. The folks at Gear Live live in Seattle, and were among the first to try the new service.
It seems to work well. Upon launching iTunes on a laptop, they were automatically connected with full access to the iTunes Store (Plus some additional Starbucks content). A prominent "currently playing track" banner is updated dynamically, and the ten most recently played tracks are a click away.
They had similar luck with an iPhone. The Starbucks logo was in place in the Wi-Fi iTunes store, and clicking it displayed the same content as the laptop version.
If you're in Seattle or New York, please share your experiences. The rest of us can only wait.

Filed under: Steve Jobs
Yahoo! CEO Jerry Yang invited Steve Jobs (whom Kara Swisher calls "...Silicon Valley's equivalent of Oprah") to make a surprise appearance at a meeting of top executives last week. Yang called Jobs "...one of his heroes," and Steve told the group that Yahoo! has the assets, they just need to focus on execution.
Steve as motivational speaker? We hadn't considered that before. Let's hope he warned them about living in a van down by the river.

Filed under: iPhone
Peer-to-peer wireless positioning firm Navizon is offering refunds to customers who signed up for its $24.95 iPhone service. Now that Apple has put the kibosh on third party development, the company's software no longer works on the iPhone. According to the NY Times, the company did well despite the loss of iPhone sales. Its short-lived iPhone prominence led to over seventy thousand downloads for other phone models.
The Navizon "Shareloc's blog" has updated and clarified their position, stating that iPhone development will continue. To conclude otherwise, they write, is "plain false and quite frankly, a bit laughable". Refunds are offered only to those iPhone users who have upgraded to 1.1.1.
