Hold yourself over with the iPhone VR
What did I do when I was forced, inhumanely, to wait for my slick new (at the time) MacBook Pro to arrive at my door in all its aluminum-y goodness? Why, I turned to Apple's MacBook Pro QuickTime VR to ease the anticipatory pains and tide me over 'til the doorbell rang and the heavenly delivery man made my dreams come true.Well, if you're desperately eager for the iPhone and canna' take it any longer (imagine that was a bad Scotty impression), then here's some Tylenol-style relief: Apple (finally) posted a QuickTime VR of the lovely device, giving you a 360 view of iPhone in all its glory. Play with it, spin it around, check out all the cool angles and curves -- and quickly hide the window when your wife walks in.Don't want her getting jealous.Thanks MikeE!
Macworld Expo 2007 QuickTime VRs
While we whipped out our own photo galleries feature last week for Macworld 07, Panoramas.dk specializes in putting together QuickTime VRs of major events and places. TUAW reader Christian Chladek just tipped us off to Panoramas.dk's new Macworld 07 gallery, containing over 15 full-screen VRs of various booths from the likes of Canon, Microsoft, Crumpler (their booth really was pretty unique) and - of course - the iPhone in its awe-inspiring rotating glass case. The VRs look pretty nice and are one more way to 'be there' without being there. We just wouldn't recommend trying to lick the iPhone display.
Waste time with the MacBook Pro VR
I'm incredibly impatient, and there's nothing worse than eagerly waiting for a brand new speedy computer that's scheduled to arrive at your door in just days.To kill time and ease the pain, I've taken a liking to playing with the MacBook Pro's QuickTime VR at Apple's website. Sure, it's a bit excessive and quite literally the virtual equivalent of tech pr0n, but it's a perfect way to build up excitement and admire the beauty that is MacBook Pro before you're fortunate enough to actually have one.Hours of fun -- and you can get some great-looking angles.Don't thank me. I'm just doin' my job.
