  • Attractively packaged in Piel Frama gift box, with spray bottle and leather chamois, to clean phone’s screen

Piel Frama Apple iPhone 3G Magnetic Closure Leather Case (Blue) Overview

Handcrafted in Spain by leather artisans, Piel Frama phone cases are renowned worldwide for their exquisite quality and workmanship. Piel Frama uses only the finest locally-sourced materials, eco-friendly manufacturing techniques and careful attention to detail. The result is a soft, supple leather product that is extremely durable, ergonomic and that has a minimal impact on the environment.

The contemporary European styling is both sophisticated and highly functional, offering excellent protection for your device while providing convenient access to the phone’s features. Piel Frama cases completely cover the phone’s screen, serving as an effective shield against scratches and screen damage. To add rigidity and prevent stretching, the cases contain a strong core of a synthetic cloth and are stitched with high-end thread.

Each case comes with an ultra-strong belt clip that is removable. For a minimal thickness form factor, the knob on the back of the case may also be quickly removed. The case has cutouts for the camera, headset jack, volume, ring/silent, sleep/wake, home, Apple connection port, speaker and mic. Cases are attractively packaged with a spray bottle and leather chamois for cleaning the phone’s screen.

A superior leather goods manufacturer since 1945, Piel Frama made their first mobile phone case in 1984, the same year modern cell phones were introduced. The pioneering case maker uses natural and biodegradable products to tan and finish the full-grain leather materials, as well as in its glues. Every case is carefully cut, assembled and sewn by hand, finished with an embossed message inside: “The product you have just acquired has been hand-made by Piel Frama craftsman, so each piece is unique.”

If you desire the look and feel of luxury in handmade Spanish leather, a Piel Frama case is the right product for you. More than just lasting protection for your technology investment, these cases are truly a work of art.

Apple PowerBook Laptop 17″ M9110LL/A (1.33-GHz PowerPC G4, 512 MB RAM, 80 GB Hard Drive, DVD-R/CD-RW Drive) Review

Apple PowerBook Laptop 17″ M9110LL/A (1.33-GHz PowerPC G4, 512 MB RAM, 80 GB Hard Drive, DVD-R/CD-RW Drive) Feature

  • The new PowerBook family gives you power in a choice of three ultrafast portables
  • Whether you prefer the ultra-compact 12-inch model, the coveted 15-inch powerhouse, or the stunning 17-inch beauty
  • The PowerBook G4 is resistant to stains and scratches
  • You’ll marvel at the way supersharp high-resolution TFT XGA active-matrix display fits into such a compact frame
  • To see it is to feel the strong stirrings of technolust


I bought a 12-inch Powerbook after I gave my old Sony Vaio notebook the Pete Townshend treatment – I put my fist through it. (Yes, it looks like a stained glass window.) I hadn’t used a Mac in years, but I decided I’d had it with Microsoft and Windows. All it took was one weekend and a good book – “Mac OS X: The Missing Manual,” by David Pogue –
however, and I mastered the machine.

(Other than the size of the screen, the 17-inch model is the same as the 12-inch one.)

SOFTWARE
The computer comes with some great software. iTunes is the best media player on the market. I have almost 5,000 songs stored on mine. With the search function and browser display, it is easy to find a particular song. iTunes also keeps track of the number of times you’ve listened to a song and it allows you to rate your songs. It’s easy to create a playlist. Also, burning one of those playlists onto a CD can be done with one click.

Safari is a great web browser. It has a Google search box built into the toolbar, prevents pop-up ads (I’ve never had one), has tabbed browsing (preventing a cluttered desktop), and allows for bookmarks to be added with one click.

iChat allows Mac users to customize their AIM and Rendezvous chat sessions in ways that the normal applications don’t allow, such as adding pictures from iPhoto to their profile.

I haven’t mastered iPhoto yet, but it is downloading pictures from a digital camera is as easy as plugging it into the USB port and clicking a button.

Also, Macs are less likely to get a virus or be overtaken by spyware.

The iCal and Address Book look good, but if you are going to sync a PDA with your Mac, you are better off using Palm Desktop software. Hopefully the functionality of those programs will be improved in the future though.

Finally, most of the programs work with each other. For example, if someone on my iChat buddy list is online, a green dot will appear next to a message from him or her in my Mail inbox.

I also use Microsoft Office, Quicken, Dreamweaver MX, and Palm Desktop – they all work well on the Mac. Office shares files perfectly with PCs.

HARDWARE
Spend the money and get the superdrive (CD-RW/DVD-R). DVDs have more memory than CDs and blank DVD-Rs are becoming more affordable. If you are into collecting videos of concerts, a DVD-R is a must.

I’d recommend upgrading to at least 768 MB of memory and the 80 GB hard drive. Burning a DVD requires a lot of memory and can take a while – this way you can use other applications while burning a DVD (on my old PC, if I was burning a CD, I couldn’t use anything else). The hard drive space is really cheap. Plus, if you load your CDs on your computer, they can eat up a lot of memory, even as MP3s (my 5,000 songs take up about 25 GB).

Also, there is a lot to be said for getting the Airport Exteme card (although you can buy a third-party base station for less). I am able to browse the Internet in any room of my house – well worth the extra 0 or so.

I have the 12-inch monitor, but that was because Apple hadn’t released the 15-inch in the new style when I made my purchase. The 12-inch is fine – it’s much clearer than my old PC notebook – but if I had the opportunity, I’d probably go with the bigger monitor.

DRAWBACKS
-While most software is available for Mac OS X, there are some programs that aren’t (Google toolbar, Yahoo! toolbar, Kazaa, AvantGo) or minor problems in software that is available (Quicken can’t access accounts on Ameritrade via Macs)
-The PowerBook doesn’t have a fan, which is great for the battery, but can cause it to get a bit hot underneath where the user rests his left hand.

Regardless of those drawbacks, however, buying a Mac was an easy decision. If you have any questions about it, click on my profile and send me a e-mail.

UPDATE: After 14 months, the hard drive started making noise and system performance got slow and I couldn’t run as many programs as I used to. I called Apple and had to spend 0 for them to put in a new hard drive and some other hardware. They were unable to transfer my data to my new hard drive, so I’ve spent the past four days reloading all of my software and applications. No idea why the hard drive went. Hence I dropped the rating from five stars to four.

Apple PowerBook Laptop 17″ M9110LL/A (1.33-GHz PowerPC G4, 512 MB RAM, 80 GB Hard Drive, DVD-R/CD-RW Drive) Overview

The new PowerBook family gives you power in a choice of three ultrafast portables. Whether you prefer the ultra-compact 12-inch model, the coveted 15-inch powerhouse, or the stunning 17-inch beauty, every new PowerBook G4 is loaded with advanced capabilities. Housed in a sleek, lightweight aluminum alloy enclosure, the PowerBook G4 is resistant to stains and scratches. It’s also perfectly smooth on all surfaces, with no doors, protruding latches or levers to break, and no sharp edges to catch on your clothing. And whatever your notebook needs or desires are, you can be sure there’s a PowerBook G4 that’s perfect for you.Starting at just 4.6 pounds, the three new PowerBook G4 models are light enough to carry around all day. And thanks to the PowerPC G4 processor with Velocity Engine, every PowerBook packs a tremendous punch for doing everything from crunching numbers to editing video and designing show-stopping presentations. You’ll marvel at the way Apple has fitted the supersharp high-resolution TFT XGA active-matrix display into such a remarkably compact frame. To see it is to feel the strong stirrings of technolust.

Apple PowerBook Laptop 17″ M9110LL/A (1.33-GHz PowerPC G4, 512 MB RAM, 80 GB Hard Drive, DVD-R/CD-RW Drive) Specifications

Faster and far more capable than any other Apple notebook to date, the freshly unveiled 17-inch PowerBook G4 may be the most sophisticated portable computer ever released. Featuring an enormous display, an unrivalled feature set and virtually no performance bottlenecks, the stunning yet undeniably pricey 17-inch PowerBook G4 is ready to satisfy even the most discriminating professional or personal user.

Don’t let the clock speed fool you. The system’s PowerPC G4 processor is a real step up from last year’s 1 GHz G4 chip, running at 1.33 GHz and featuring 512 KB Level 2 cache for rapid retrieval of recently accessed data. Apple has added 512 MB of ultra-fast PC2700 (333MHz) DDR SDRAM memory (upgradeable to 2 full GB) and an ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 graphics processor with 64 MB dedicated video memory, thus ensuring smooth operation during high-demand tasks such as 3-D games, 3-D drawing and multitasking.

This high-speed architecture continues throughout the unit, where you’ll find connectivity options such a standard FireWire interface, an ultra-fast Apple-designed FireWire 800 port, two 480 Mbps USB 2.0 ports, integrated 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet, 54-Mbps AirPort Extreme wireless, and built-in Bluetooth for the new breed of cordless digital peripherals. Storage facilities include a spacious ATA/100 80 GB hard disk and a versatile DVD-R/CD-RW SuperDrive through which you can burn audio CDs, backup critical and write DVD-R discs at 2X speed.

Visually, the aluminum alloy-clad 17-inch PowerBook G4 is as dramatic as it is functional. Sporting the largest widescreen display of any notebook and the same screen dimensions as a 19-inch CRT monitor, the unit is nevertheless surprisingly thin and lightweight at 15.4 by 10.2 by 1 inches and 6.8 pounds. Other unique perks include a tap/double tap/drag trackpad, a convenient backlit keyboard for low-light situations, and a DVI output for the efficient digital connection of LCD monitors. Battery life is estimated at an admirable 4.5 hours under ideal conditions.
