Filed under: Retail
Finally! After years of waiting, Mexico has its own online Apple Store. The new online store promises a better values for Mexican shoppers, who no longer have to shop at the US store. And, as part of the grand opening, you can win a MacBook each day and an iPod nano each hour--assuming that I, a non-Spanish speaker, have interpreted this page correctly.
Thanks to everyone who sent this in.

http://www.tuaw.com/2007/11/20/hola-mexico-new-apple-online-store/#comments - Purple Violets released exclusively on iTunes
Filed under: iTS, Video, iTunes
Ed Burns' film, Purple Violets, has become the first full-length feature movie ever to premiere via digital distribution on iTunes. As we reported before, he was unable to find a good theatrical offer, and instead chose to make history by bringing it straight to iTunes. Variety wasn't thrilled with it, and our sister site Cinematical thought it was OK, but neither of them saw it on the iPhone's small screen, did they?
Of course, you can find out for yourself-- Purple Violets is available right now in iTunes for $12.99. At that price, I might (ironically?) wait for rental, but then again, huddling around an iPhone and sharing earbuds in a nice Italian restaurant would make a pretty cheap date.Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:
http://www.tuaw.com/2007/11/20/purple-violets-released-exclusively-on-itunes/#comments - Delicious Library 2 will track your media and your tools
Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, Software, Cool tools, Developer
Scott Stevenson has taken another look at a program I am pretty much drooling over at this point-- Delicious Library 2. Earlier, he walked us through the overview of all the items in your library, and this time, he goes a little more in depth on what the app can tell you about each item that you own.
First off, everything is Quicklook-capable and can be viewed in CoverFlow, which is awesome. You can thumb through your books just with a few keystrokes. You can share your library via .Mac and Bonjour, which means while using Wi-Fi at Barnes and Noble, you can actually get book recommendations from anyone else on the network with you.
Finally, Scott reveals a strange but interesting new feature. Apparently, in its pre-release incarnation, you can also track tools. That's right-- the screenshot above is not Photoshopped (not by us, at least). Scott even suggests there might be other possessions to track, but we'll have to wait for the official release to see just what the Delicious team have cooked up.Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:
http://www.tuaw.com/2007/11/20/delicious-library-2-will-track-your-media-and-your-tools/#comments - Carmack fighting with Jobs about gaming on the Mac
Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, Gaming, Software, Odds and ends
Despite what Jobs told us at WWDC earlier this year, Apple isn't as committed to gaming as they'd want us to think. GamedailyBIZ has an interview up with id software's John Carmack (makers of Quake and the new Rage, set to premiere simultaneously on Mac and PC), and he says that he and Jobs have had arguments about gaming on the Mac, including a "...fairly heated argument" at WWDC.
Carmack says he would love to develop on the Mac-- and who wouldn't-- but that the problem is that Apple just doesn't care. Carmack mentions the iPhone as a platform he'd love to see some great games on as well, but points to the iPod as a place where Apple failed gaming-- they made developers work on an emulator, and there were many "horrible decisions."
As Carmack says, you can't exactly fault Apple for their choices. From a business perspective, they are going gangbusters. But with Jobs' feelings on this coming to light, we must look past specific developers, and Apple themselves-- why are Jobs and his company so opposed to solid game development on their platform?

Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, Audio, Software, Leopard, Developer
Reader Sebastiaan sends word that Fuzzmeasure Pro 3 is out (and that he designed the icon for it-- very nice). Released on the three-year anniversary of the first version's release, the update has a host of new features, including integration with Leopard's Core Audio, the sweet audio graphs that the app is known for, and even Quicklook and Safari plugins. It's been used to set up concert systems for "...Linkin Park and other big name bands around the world." Cool!
As you may have guessed from reading "Core Audio" and "Quicklook", Fuzzmeasure Pro 3 is Leopard-only (and loving it). You can download it (and eventually buy it for $150US) over on SuperMegaUltraGroovy's website.Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:

Apple's European iPhone hopes may have suffered a set-back after Vodafone Germany won an injunction "...prohibiting sales of the iPhone in Germany" according to CNN / DowJones. However, the issue doesn't concern the exclusivity of the deal between Apple and T-Mobile. in this case, it's about the choice of service plans available to iPhone customers.
According to a spokesperson for Vodafone Germany "[we are not] generally opposed to T-Mobile's exclusivity contract with Apple, but want to have these new sales practices examined....The restraining order doesn't aim at a total sales stop". It's worth noting that this is a solely German injunction: Vodafone have confirmed with us that this is purely due to local legislation and we won't be seeing a similar action elsewhere with other Vodafone territories such as the U.K.
Whilst the injunction has been granted, T-Mobile does now have 2 weeks to appeal, meaning it's unlikely that sales will stop before the appeal is exhausted.Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:
