Apple iBook and Kids Holiday Sites

Apple iBook:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

At just over 2kg, the new iBook is sleek, portable and has more than enough grunt to do everything you've come to expect from a home PC.

In addition to the already popular iTunes and iMovie, this iBook comes with a new program called iPhoto which allows you to digitally store all of you photos in albums. You can manipulate the images, create covers for your photo albums and even make them into slide shows with music - just at the touch of a button.

Choose from the 500 or 600mhz G3 processors, 15 or 20gb hard drive or expand the RAM to 640mb and take things a few steps further by using AirPort technology to wirelessly connect to the Internet from any room of your house. Use the FireWire port to digitally transfer your video and stills images from a variety of devices.

Cost: from $2795
