Hmm, I wonder...

Just curious to how Mac OS X would perform on this system? ;)

What about iCall? Where for art thou? ;)

I noticed that the calls weren't very cheap even compared to my AT&T plan I have here in the states. My problem is poor cell signal at home but not wifi. I've considered Magic Jack but decided to wait and maybe try iCall for the iPhone or perhaps someone else in the coming months.

Make a new Mac snappier!

Maybe not for games but it'd be nice to see that chip in some Macs! MacBook Pro or the next iMac revision.
