Wireless with Macbook & Vodafone

Now I am online when I want to be (and have my Macbook with me :)).

Bought Vodafone MobileConnect a week back. To tell the truth, speed sucks, but I don't (read CAN'T) mind. Only reason I bought MobileConnect from Vodafone is they promise it will work with Mac OS X. And it does.

On Mac updates, I have come across plenty of keyboard and trackpad shortcuts which make life easier. I was planning to use it for some development but so far its songs and movies only :).

Mac comes with XCode installable DVDs, which is a fully loaded development tool from Apple. Just installed it and compiled/ran Hello World!. So good to go.

Finally, I have a MacBook

Bought a new MacBook 13" yesterday. Here's the screenshot.



Mac is not as simple as I thought it was. Any habits are hard to break once you live with them for a while. The key sequences and some standard shortcuts are not always same as Linux or Windows. Anyways, it should be enough to spend some spare time.

I have tried only a subset of applications so far, like iTunes, Safari and iChat. And they worked great for me. Will keep posting as and when I get time.

And thanks to Venkat, I got a healthy discount!
