Groupon is currently running a deal on tickets for Macworld 2011. You can get a 3 day pass for $10 (regularly $25.)
Macworld 2011 will take place at the Moscone Center in San Francisco for January 27-29. Since Apple no longer exhibits at Macworld, the wind has definitely been taken out of the Expo’s sails. That said, there are still companies and attendees rowing the boat forward.
If you’re in SF and want to check out the latest and greatest, or just see what kinda swag you can score, checkout Groupon for the deal.
Just in time for newly announced Verizon iPhone, the wraps are ready to come off shinning new Verizon store in Steve Jobs’ home town.
Located just a few blocks from the Apple Store in downtown Palo Alto, this new Verizon store’s design is straight out of Apple’s playbook.
Between this store and AT&T’s recently expanded store in Palo Alto, it seems like the carriers are picking up some of Apple’s DNA in hopes of picking up some more iPhone customers.

New rumors suggest that the iPhone may finally be making it’s debut on Verizon in the first week of February.
While rumors about when the Verizon iPhone will launch have been commonplace since the iPhone first came out, two of the data points behind the Feb. launch rumor look promising.
1. AT&T just slashed the price of the 3GS to $49 with 2 year contract. Lock ‘em in before Verizon gets a chance.
2. The Apple Store has reportedly restricted employee vacations for the first week of February, which often tells of a new product being immediately available for sale. Especially one that will require all hands on deck like mass iPhone activations.
It’s been time, for some time, for Verizon customers to have the option of getting an iPhone. And for us already using one on AT&T, more competition should lead to lower prices and better service.
Apple’s Mac App Store is now open for business. You can now purchase, download, install, search and update OS X apps for your Mac just like you would apps for the iPhone.
The store has opened with over 1,000 apps. Both free and paid apps are available in a variety of categories.
The Mac Store is available from Software Update for any Mac running 10.6 Snow Leopard.

B&W has announced their new Zeppelin Air iPod speaker system. This premium speaker system will use Apple’s new AirPlay technology to wirelessly send music from your iPhone, iPod, iPad or Mac.
The new Zeppelin Air will be available in March and will retail around $600, placing at the high end of this segment.
While we’re still waiting for pricing and availability details on the upcoming AirPlay wireless stereo from iHome, the new Zeppelin Air looks to be a strong, albeit pricey, AirPlay contender.

Eye-Fi, makers of Wi-Fi enabled memory cards, has announced a new Direct Mode for sharing photos from your camera to your mobile device without the need of a Wi-Fi network.
The new Direct Mode works by creating an ad hoc wireless network with your iPhone, iPad or MacBook so you can instantly send photos from your camera to your mobile device.
The main benefit of this solution is the ability to use your favorite digital camera and immediately get the photo sharing and tagging benefits of your smartphone or mobile device.
The new Direct Mode will also be available as an update for current Eye-Fi X2 cards later this year.

BMW has announced their first iAd for the new X3.
This interactive ad allows the user to customize a new vehicle, share their creation and schedule a test drive from their iPhone, iPad or iPod touch using Apple’s new iAd platform.
We should start seeing iAds show up on our iOS devices by the end of the year at which time we’ll find out if the highly customized, “fun to use” ads will be more welcome than the banner ads we all usually ignore.
