This has already been a big summer for Apple. We have seen a refresh of the iPhone with the 3GS and apparently on Friday we will see a new addition to the OSX family with Snow Leopard. Rumors abound as to what Jobs and company have in the works to unveil at their annual grand gala in September. These rumors include new versions of the iPod Touch and iPod Nano, perhaps larger storage capacity with a camera. Perhaps a new generation of the venerable iTunes, an advancement to iTunes9. The rumor mill has also been burning with talk about a touch screen tablet of some sort, a device to compete in the netbook market.

All this talk is just that of course…talk. While some rumors may, such as the iPod reboot, have more credence than others, we will see soon enough what Apple has in store for the upcoming year. What about this years new products that have already been released and are available right now?

The iPhone 3GS has been around for a few months now, and has been written about by others large and small almost to death. OSX Snow Leopard will be released as I mentioned, on Friday. I wrote a little bit about this the other day for our UK site. You can read about it here. There are few other products that have gotten makeovers this summer that haven’t received as much press hoopla though. These being, this years versions of the MacBook, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air.

I recently purchased an Apple for my wife’s birthday and after not using one for a few years I had kind of forgotten how well made they were. My PC has beefier specs but I swear the Apple runs just as smooth if not smoother.
