Time Capsule Review

The new Apple Time Capsule finally hit the shelves this week. I went to the Apple store last Sunday in hopes of picking one up along with the new 16GB iPhone but sadly, they still didn’t have any in the store nor did they have any firm answer of when they would be in. Another Apple retailer advertised them in their weekly ad, but when I called, they told me they didn’t have them in store but I could order one if I wanted.
Well, the guys over at Gizmodo got their hands on a new Time Capsule and were kind enough to post their opinions and experiences for the rest of us. Run a separate network, extend your current network… all with a quick setup wizard that even mom could understand. I was pretty sure I wanted one before, but now I’m sold.

The caveat…these icons are only installable on iPhone/iPod devices running firmware that has been jailbroken
iWood. Sexy cases for the iPhone and iPod

Minot is offering the iWood, custom laser engraved iPhone cases in a variety of rich woods. You can choose from oak, padouk, cherry, mahogany and walnut. They also have versions for 5th generation iPods and 2nd generation iPod Nanos.
A base price of $115 US is pretty steep, but you can pretty much bet that you’ll be the only one in the office with one of these. Add a custom stand (cut from the same piece of wood as the case) for an extra $25 then have your logo or a monogram etched on the case for another $20 and you’re up to a grand total of $160.
Some users have reported having to do a little minor trimming around the power and volume notches to get it fine tuned, but the overall impression was they iWood was a thing of beauty and that the photos don’t do it justice.
