April 20, 2009

This update of EveryMac.com features complete specs on the new "Nehalem" Xserve and education-only Aluminum iMac in addition to revisions to the iPod Q&A and iPhone Q&A to cover the latest models and operating system changes. A variety of other Q&As also have been added.

Additionally, the "By Year", "By Processor","By Case Type", and "By Capability" Mac specification listings have been updated and the "Ultimate Mac Comparison" has been updated as well.

The iPod Q&A answers "What are the differences between the iPod shuffle 3G and the earlier iPod shuffle 2G?" and "Which iPods can sync and charge via USB? Which iPods can sync and charge via Firewire?" along with dozens of other questions about the inexpensive iPod shuffle 3G and the rest of the iPod series.

The iPhone Q&A answers "How much longer is AT&T Wireless the exclusive iPhone carrier in the US? Can you purchase the iPhone 'unlocked'?" and "Can you use the iPhone with an external keyboard?" and everything in between about the iPhone.

In case you missed one, Q&As since the last major update include:
