Macheist has recently released a bundle of 12 Top Mac Apps. Though most Macheist members (like me) have already owned some of the apps listed, you might find the bundle worthwhile! The original price of the apps altogether are almost $300! You can get all these amazing apps for only $49. That’s a whopping 80% discount. And I bet Macheist will throw in another app or two if the sale goes well. So, what ya waiting for? :)

Get the bundle here.

Adobe + Web TV = Adobe Media Player

Adobe has just released a media player that allows you to watch all kinds of programs and even tv shows such as CSI: New York. Sure, Hulu has a wider variety but I was surprised that Adobe Media Player’s shows are watchable from Australia. Hulu is currently restricted to the US.

Let’s hope Adobe puts on more great content on its media player.

Adobe Media Player can be downloaded here

Factory Unlocked 3G iPhones are Coming to Australia

aus_iphone_350.jpg

According to one of the Administrators of MacTalk forums, resellers have been provided with info regarding the iPhone by Apple Australia. And… The good news is, it’s not gonna be locked to one carrier! The iPhone is also going to be released in Australia last week of June.

So what does all this mean? If the 3G iPhone is going to be announced in WWDC 2008, which is going to be in the first week of June, it means Australia is getting 3G iPhone for sure. Also, with no carrier lock, it could mean that 3G plans will get more competitive pricing.

Personally, I can’t wait for iPhone in Australia. Porn Web and Email on the go can prove to be useful at times.

Does this also mean that other countries will have factory unlocked iPhones when 3G version rolls out? What do you think?
