Time Capsule
Time Capsule uses the 802.11n draft 2.0 specification, so you can rest assured that it works with certified 802.11n draft 2.0 products. And it’s compatible with Macs and PCs that use 802.11a, b, or g technologies, as well as wireless devices such as iPhone, iPod touch, and Apple TV. Time Capsule includes a wireless 500GB or 1TB hard drive1 designed to work with Time Machine in Mac OS X Leopard. Just set Time Capsule as the designated backup drive for Time Machine, and that’s it. Depending on how much data you have, your initial backup with Time Capsule could take overnight or longer. After it completes, only changed files are backed up — automatically, wirelessly, and in the background. So you never have to worry about backing up again.

A quick update

Happy New Year everyone! I haven’t been blogging for ages. I am still feeling a bit hungover after the holidays. I spent them with my family, playing games, reading and watching Christmas movies. January is a month of joy for every Mac user worldwide. Traditionally, Steve Jobs announces new Apple products on January 15th. keynote. Ultra-thin Mac Book Pro models have been announced for this year. The new MBP should be as twice as thin with faster CPU and OLED screen. I’ll be posting more about Keynote later this month. In the world of gadgets, “Tux Droid” is the new robotic toy quite similar to Nabaztag but with more advanced features and it’s fully programmable. Wii Fit is another interesting add-on for Wii that is becoming popular these days. Wii Fit connects with your Wii playing console and enables you to go through various different exercises and keep in shape while having fun. See you all after the Keynote.
