In a research note to clients — as noted by MacRumors — Barclays analysts Blayne Curtis and Tom O’Malley said the iPhone 15 will support Wi-Fi 6E. However, they didn’t know whether the feature will be available on all models or limited to the Pro models. Apple has...

I finally got my iPad 2 on Tuesday, after days of my local Apple Specialist, the Mac Authority, the Nashville Apple retail store, Best Buy, Target and Wal-Mart being sold out. I liked the original iPad, but the sequel is even better.
The original iPad was hardly chunky, but the second gen tablet is even more svelte — 33% thinner and up to 15% lighter than the original iPad thanks to, among other things, tapered edges and a completely flat back. From a practical viewpoint, that makes little difference, but Apple and CEO Steve Jobs do love their slim and trim.
When it comes to capturing, copying and converting digital media and entertainment — and burning disks — Roxio Toast Titanum from Rovi Corp. has long been the leader. And with the just-launched Roxio Toast 11 Titanium (US$99) for Mac this hasn’t changed. I’ve just finished test driving the Pro version and recommend it as one of the best buys around in Mac software.
I’ve always found database programs to be a necessary evil. However, when FileMaker Inc. (http://www.filemaker.com) debuted Bento they offered a database app “for the rest of us” that almost makes creating a database fun.

On the heels of the E-P1, Olympus (http://www.olympusamerica.com) has released its latest Micro Four-Thirds camera, the Olympus PEN E-P2 (US$1,099.99). Like the E-P1, the E-P2 is an homage to their 1959 35mm film rangefinder Pen camera series.
The E-P2 uses the same 12.3-megapixel Live MOS sensor and 3-inch, 230,000-dot LCD as the E-P1. And, like the E-P1, it has no prism or mirror assembly, so light travels directly to the sensor. The result is a relatively light, compact camera that supports interchangeable lenses.
