Blackberry, iPhone and Android. A few months back I got to handle the  Blackberry Bold ,  Motorola Milestone  and the iPhone 3GS on the same day, thanks to my bro-in-law visiting us.

Intel and AMD in Mac

Today I got the mailer on the new MacBook Pro that is being launched. The specifications were good and as usual I was soon drooling over another classy device. But the thing that caught my attention were two logos, one was of Intel and another of AMD on the features page. Surprised that two rival processor companies were in the MacBook Pro. Intel was for the i7 processor and AMD for the graphics.  I am not sure if this was the case earlier too. But just noticed it.  http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/features.html
