Apple Inc. to Enhance iPhone and iPad Devices with Multitasking Function
Apple Inc.'s iPhone and iPad devices will soon be able to run more than one program at a time, an ability that phones from Apple's rivals already offer and that iPhone owners have long sought. Although Apple is making the updates available to all iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad models, the multitasking function will only work with the newest devices. Other new features will be available to older models as well. They include the ability to have messages from multiple e-mail accounts land in a single inbox, support for folders filled with applications and a way to connect an iPhone with a regular keyboard using Bluetooth wireless technology.javascript:void(0)

Apple has updated the 15-inch and 17-inch MacBook Pro models with Intel's Core i5 and i7 processors, which will include two integrated graphics processors to improve the laptops' battery life and performance. Apple users can pick between four standard models, three with a 15-inch display and one with a 17-inch display, according to the company's online store. The least expensive option is the 15-inch model with a 2.4GHz Intel Core i5 for $1,799.
The high-end 15-inch model has a 2.66GHz Intel Core i7 and costs $2,199. The new 15-inch MacBook Pro comes with a 1440x900-pixel LED glossy display. Users can also choose a high-resolution 1680x1050-pixel glossy or antiglare display, which will add $100 and $150, respectively, to the cost, according to the Apple Store. All three models have 4GB RAM of memory as the standard, and an upgrade to 8GB costs adds $400 to the cost. The graphics are based on a Nvidia GeForce GT 330M with 256MB of memory. The standard 17-inch model comes with a 2.53GHz Intel i5 processor.
Upgrading to a 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7 adds $200 to the $2,299 base price. It has 4GB of RAM memory. The display has a 1920x1200-pixel glossy LED display. For another $50 users can buy the antiglare version. It also has the Nvidia GeForce GT 330M, but with 512MB of memory. In addition to Nvidia's graphics processor, the Core i5 and Core i7 chips also include Intel's graphics processor integrated with the CPU in a single chip package. But the Nvidia chip adds a whopping 182 gigaflops of processing power to the laptops through 48 processing cores.
