Stashbits: Apple In-Ear Headphones Available, 24 Inch LED Cinema Display Deboxed

Despite managing to ship their newest iPods introduced during the fall 2008 media event, Apple has slipped on delivering their newest earbuds which bring mic and playback controls buttons (but are only supported on the 4G Nano, 2G Classic and Touch) alongside new in-ear headphones. However, shoppers visiting the online store will notice the in-ear headphones can be ordered and will ship soon. Meanwhile, Apple has started to ship out the newest addition to the Cinema Display line and the lucky Bloggers of Apple Insider have posted unboxing pictures.

Apple’s Newest Cinema Display Unboxed, Photographed, Fondled

Replacing the 23 inch Cinema Display which still packed a matte screen and fluorescent backlighting, Apple’s 24 inch monster brings a glossy screen and LED backlighting which is reminiscent of the company’s iMac line. Clad in an Aluminum enclosure, the new Cinema Display ushers in the era of Display Port (albeit in a yet to be standard Mini form) and acts as a sort of docking area for the newest revision to Apple’s MacBook line. While the shipping date shipped, Apple finally sent out the first orders of the new display and have received their unboxing treatment.

Apple Insider have posted their high quality unboxing shots of the Display and while they have yet to post a review, you can get a general perception of the color depth and quality.

Apple In-Ear Headphones No Longer In Shipping Limbo

While Apple has gotten on the ball delivering their newest range of iPods, they’ve slipped somewhat on pushing out the newly introduced earbuds which now sport volume range control, playback buttons and a mic which is only compatible with the fourth generation iPod Nano, second generation iPod Touch and Classic.

Fortunately, for users who have been waiting for Apple to update the shipping status for the in-ear headphones, they’ve done just that. The new ‘buds ring up $79 and arrive to buyers in 7-10 business days. Meanwhile the $29 earbuds which include the mic, volume and playback controls have a wait time of 3 to 4 weeks and will surely miss holiday stockings.
