Daily Tech: 21 Oct 2009

Posted by dk on October 21st, 2009

Good news for the ebooks lovers out there!! Barnes & Noble has just launched their……. WAIT! Apple has just updated their iMac with 21.5 and 27 Inch LED Screens, Mac Mini with server option, MacBook with 7 Hour Battery and a super good looking Magic Mouse to replace the Mighty Mouse. And I’m so in love with the Magic mouse which has multi-touch. Time to get rid of my “not so mighty” mouse. Oh sorry, what was I saying just now about Barnes & Noble? Eeeerrrr…..

Oh ya! They launched a new ebook reader called Nook. But most likely most people won’t notice it. Rule of thumb, try not to launch anything on a day when Apple is rumored to do a product refresh.
