I'm on the personal domestic Blackberry plan and I've been very happy with it. Reading email and even web sites on that small screen is not a big problem. I keep up with my RSS feeds, email, and IM on the go, and it all syncs very well with my Mac. Also check out Palm Dubai.

UAE is actually a part of Apple Europe, not Asia. And Apple said "late 2007" for Europe, so we may see the iPhone here this year.

Apple notebooks have good design and they are good for graphics, but they have less support for windows based products. And that's necessarily bad? If with Windows comes all kinds of viruses, spyware etc., I don't mind having "less support" for it ;) In my view, Mac OS X is more user-frie...

I'm new here and I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Magnus and I'm the current Ambassador and President of EmiratesMac Apple User Group.

In my opinion people are using Mac just because it's trendy and looks cool. Except for the people working in Graphics design where Mac is the best. I'd argue that a Mac is the best in far more fields than graphic design. The open source friendly, BSD underpinnings of Mac OS X makes it for a very go...

Second another important reason is that I'm working and communicating with my colleagues and clients who I'm sure 100% use Windows. I know there are lots of utilities, but it's not funny to send them Mac specific format file and they can't open it ;) I am the only Mac user (running Mac OS X and occ...

And you'd be wrong... and look like another Mac groupie that thinks Steve Jobs is the messiah. Well, the only truth here is of course that there is no right or wrong, only opinion. And if you knew anything about me, you'd know better than to write what you wrote. Macs are OK, but I find PCs are in ...

Well, the truth is if you knew me, you wouldn't have written what you wrote in the first place. There is always a right and wrong, and in most cases I am the one who is right. I guess at least that's your version of the truth ;) Well, you know, when it comes to hiring staff with computer skills, ob...

The iPhone runs OS X and the web browser is Safari. Apple released Safari (beta) for Windows so people could go ahead and develop web apps for iPhone using Mac or Windows, I believe. It's technology that has been out for a while, sure, but I'm not sure it's right to call it old technology.

It's not the first iPhone, but it's the first one as far as I know that the public can try out. It's not for sale though

If you haven't done so already, post to EmiratesMac.com too, we're the only Apple User Group in the UAE.

And if it it is like living on the moon to buy a Mac, then I think the moon is a pretty pleasant place

And it's Mac, not MAC

I was in Dubai last month and used my iPhone for maybe 20 minutes and it was a $200 USD phone bill. Crazy.
