Magic Mouse has Captured Over 10 Percent Market Share

December 29th, 2009

MagicMouseIn October this year, along with new iMacs, Apple introduced Magic Mouse, the world’s first mouse with a multi- touch surface, like the one you see on iPhones and MacBooks. Magic Mouse’s predecessor, Mighty Mouse, never became any success and many have complained about the scroll ball, but Magic Mouse is completely different, and after just 8 weeks on the market, it has captured over 10 pct. market share, and Apple is now the third best selling mouse manufacturer, behind Microsoft and Logitech.

Though Apple is in third place, their superiors on the mouse market are far ahead, and Apple will by no chance catch up with them as yet, but Apple has felt the demand on Magic Mouse and here at AppleLunch we have actually experienced that it was impossible to purchase Magic Mouse anywhere in Aarhus, Denmark. Premium Reseller “humac” told that they haven’t had any Magic Mouses since November, and were not expecting to have any before late January, so if you want a Magic Mouse, and you live outside America, we recommend you to buy it from Apple Online Store.

And… Another 10.6.2 build

November 5th, 2009

Mac OS X 10.6.2 Build 10C540 has just been seeded to developers and contains several fixes, even though it arrives just one week after the otherwise most recent build. To sum it up shortly, the new Snow Leopard build fixes a pretty serious data loss issue, which was first mentioned around the 13th of October. The bug was apparently related to guest accounts, and resulted in loss of huge amounts of data.

Also, the new build contains full native support for the all new Magic Mouse as well as an Airport issue with the new iMac and VMware, which just introduced a new version with improved 3D graphics called VMware Fusion 3. Finally, the new build also contains several minor fixes, such as an Apple TV graphics improvement.

That’s all for this lunch, so go ahead and enjoy it!

No More New Apple Products This Year, Or What?

October 27th, 2009

Apple Senior Vice President, Phil Schiller, expressed in an interview to Gizmodo prior to last weeks product updates, that the company has completed their lineup for the holiday season, and that no more products will be released this year.

This time we got official word in the last one-on-one media briefing from Apple, in which they told Brian about the new iMac 27, the new Unibody MacBook, and new Magic Mouse. We were talking casually about about it, and he mentioned something that Phil Schiller told him: There are not going to be any new Apple products this year. Yes, that’s what my favorite Apple VP said. No más cosas de la manzana, ¿comprende?

Anyhow, after gizmodo released their article, they got contacted by Apple, who told that “the actual quote is “The holiday lineup is set,”” and whatever that means is until now, just a clue. As far as we know, the Holiday Season is at the end of everyones calendar, but still there is a few days between Christmas and New Years Evening, and maybe we will see a new Apple product in that period?

Yesterday we provided you with a rumor on a MacBook Pro update, and earlier today we wrote about the rumored Apple tablet, so maybe one of those products will be announced and/or released somewhere between Christmas and New Years Evening?

Apple Introduces MightyMouse’s Relief – The World’s First Multi-Touch Mouse

October 20th, 2009

MagicMouseHeroApple announced earlier today some new products for the holiday season, which we find quite interesting. Among the new products is a new wireless computer mouse, which is the world’s first mouse to use Apple’s Multi-Touch technology, which we all knows from iPhone, iPod Touch and Mac notebook trackpad. The new mouse is dubbed “Magic Mouse” which is a new name for Apple mouse devices. Magic Mouse’s predecessor, MightyMouse, which had some problems with its wheel, is pulled out of the assortment.

Magic Mouse features a seamless touch-sensitive enclosure that allows it to be a single or multi-button mouse with advanced gesture support. Using intuitive gestures, users can easily scroll through long documents, pan across large images or swipe to move forward or backward through a collection of web pages or photos. Magic Mouse works for left or right handed users and multi-button or gesture commands can be easily configured from within System Preferences.

MagicMouseGestures

Magic Mouse will come standard with the new iMac, and will be available at the end of October with a suggested retail price of $69 (US) and it requires Mac OS X Leopard version 10.5.8 or later.
