How Big is Apple’s Biggest Shopping Event of the Year?
Well, we’re here and in for just ONE day special from the Apple Store. Unlike previous sales, this one actually turns out with some good deals.
The BEST deals of course is with the new MacBook Air (MBA) 13-inch line. the 128GB is faring HK$9,118, down HK$770 from HK$9,888; and the 256GB version at HK$11,718, same HK$770 off.
Next best deals are the iPod Touch, with discounts ranging from 9%-10.3% from the low-end 8GB to the top end 64GB version.
The iMacs and MacBook Pros all slashes HK$770 from all models but with the new models on the horizon, it ain’t that attractive when compared with the MBA. As for the iPad, a straight HK$320 off for all models, and same with the iMacs and MacBook Pros, rumours indicates a release as soon as February.
As for other accessories and software, hmm…. nothing much exciting unless you’re shopping for the Microsoft Office for Mac Home and Student 2011 Family Pack, was HK$1,250 and now HK$1,000, a whopping 20% off, good deal with three (3) simultaneous installations.
This Friday: Apple Biggest Shopping Event of the Year.
This just in from Apple. Mostly discounts for accessories, check out the Apple Chinese New Year Gift Guide Page here. Could there be more discounts for the hardware? not sure yet. Guess will find out this Friday.
My buddy Spike emailed me saying that most of the items on that page are not on sale, they’re regular price, just suggestions for gift-giving. According to Apple’s email, the fine print in the bottom states-
“Shopping event prices are solely available on January 14, 2011 and are subject to change. Promotional pricing cannot be combined with any other offers. Product specifications are subject to change. Sale prices are limited to stock on hand and while supplies last.”
…. so probably Apple will announce a one-day special price on Friday.

Remote Conductor Turns Your iPad into a much Better Magic Trackpad
If you own an iPad and want to get an Apple Magic Trackpad, I will tell you to save that US$69 as M3ME just released the awesome app, Remote Conductor (US$9.99), that turns your iPad into something more of a magical trackpad.
So how does it work? According to M3ME, your iPad communicates with your Mac over Wi-Fi with a free server program called Conductor Server and the program can be installed on as many Macs you like. Once connected, you can use the Remote Conductor app as a trackpad in its track mode; an app switcher in its switcher mode; and an app launcher for all your apps on the Mac.
I tried this app out and found the following awesome features:
- the track mode features more multi-touch gestures than the Apple Trackpad;
- in the track mode, the app can even call up Expose, Spaces and the Dashboard;
- in the switch mode, all open apps are displayed in a mini window views and you can switch between open apps easily and even in Spaces; and
- my favourite lies with the launch mode where all apps installed (usually found in your Applications folder) are displayed in the native iPad pages view where you can flip through them the way you flip through iPad app pages andyour dock is pinned in the bottom part of the iPad screen.
These are all just some of the cool features of Remote Conductor, to have a taste of what’s it like, take a look at the following video.
Trust me, this is definitely the app for the year and it’s only first week of January.
