Apple is updating its line of laptop computers with a nod to the economic turmoil that might push consumers to be more frugal this holiday shopping season. The company avoided a major price cut but did lower the cost of the MacBook.

The world’s mobile handset maker is launching a ‘free’ music package and its first touch phone in a challenge to Apple’s dominance of the digital music market.
The Zune (www.zune.com)has a long way to go to become a threat to the iPod(www.ipod.com). But it is getting closer. I personally own the 1st generation Zune and can attest to the fact that it’s not on the iPod’s level yet. I’m a runner and the Zune is horrible at functioning while being shaken, which is the exact opposite of the new iPods that have an accelerator function that uses fast shaking as an input source (watch the video).

Is the iPhone still cool? Yup. Amazingly so. Now they are coming out with their new iPhone 3g which promises to be twice as fast and half the price. FreshGeek presents the 4 Reasons you NEED this phone.

Oh yeah, and you paid much less than the early adopters. This will be short lived because I’m reasonably sure another iPhone is in the works.
