New Mac gadgets in Tokyo at last.

Posted by: nodrog on 24 July 2004

I have just bought the Air Mac Express with Air Tunes. As easy as an easy thing to set up and amazing that I can now get iTunes playing through the 62/140 system with, apparently, no wires whatsoever, from anywhere in the flat. Sounds pretty good, too. Really feels like 'the future' is right here, right now. I will be playing with this for a while, all smiles, trying to see how far away I can get it to still work.

The iPod mini was finally released today in Japan and I went to the Tokyo Ginza Apple store to have a look as I wanted the Airport Express anyway. It was mayhem, queues fifty-people long to get the pods (new iPod looks good too, only 5000yen more for the 20GB version over the mini). They have an incredible hit on their hands, judging by today. I have held off buying one, but, it's inevitable really, isn't it.

Apple seem to be doing everything right recently.
