Apple plans 'AppleCare Plus' for iBooks & PowerBooks

... according to this ThinkSecret article.
A quote: "AppleCare Plus would reportedly cover accidental damage, but would only be available for iBooks and PowerBooks. Laptops, of course, are more likely than desktops to incur accidental damage, in situations such as travel."

Another Nokia 6600 Review

This time from powerpage.org. The article features quite a few screenshots (although jpeg-degraded) and says nice things about the smart phone.
We would urge you to also take a look at the Sendo X (review link here) before buying the N6600, as it is said to feature more for about the same price - and also looks (and is) a bit lighter.
Buyers should also be aware of the fact that this phone (the Nokia 6600) isn't supported by iSync out of the box. You'll need to change some stuff in the XML .plist files of iSync, so that iSync thinks it knows about the phone. (Basically, the protocols are the same as for the 3650 and the 7650, so the code should be the same, only renamed.)
