Such options include Apple mice, keyboards, displays, printers, scanners, digital cameras, iPods, Apple TVs, iPhones, iPads, Wi-Fi products, Newton, and versions of iOS and OS X. This will literally serve as your one-stop shop for everything you need to know about Apple products. There are a variety of ways you can find a specific Apple product. You’re allowed to browse through categories and easily see all the deivces right in front of you. In addition, there is also a specific section for current products so you can find the devices that are currently in production extremely quickly. There is also a fantastic timeline view that will allow you to see how the Apple brand has developed throughout the years. But if all else fails, there is an included search feature that will easily find you whatever your looking for. However, it is rather inconvenient that the search function requires the serial number, date of purchase, and warranty information when you want to find your personal computer. Once you find the device you’re searching for, you can see a ton of information about it. It will elegantly display the processor speed, memory, optical drives, graphic cards, supported Mac OS versions, expansion options, and several other key aspects of information. Once you get all the information, you can then choose to add a device to your inventory. Check them out here.While this is a great feature, there is no iCloud or Dropbox syncing functionality. If you’ve ever wondered about some of the apps Apple features in their iPhone TV ads, they’ve put theme all in one spot for you. Get Mactracker today from the App Store as a Free download. ![]() Otherwise this app is great! I highly recommend it! This way I could go through the database finding all my gear and mark it as a Favorite or “I have that” and then whenever, I wanted/needed to know the specs of a Mac or piece of Apple gear that I owned I could just go right to that section. I’d also like to see an “I have that” section. Don’t get me wrong, I know that the desktop app doesn’t have this either, but it seems like such a natural for the iPhone version. I was actually quite surprised that there was no option to email the specs page of a specific machine. Although the App works as advertised and best of all it’s FREE, like most things there is some room for improvement. ![]() Having Mactracker on my iPhone is GREAT! I love the instant access to the specs about machines that I’ll never remember or care to remember. So if you were selling or buying any other Apple gear, this would be a useful tool to have. You guessed it! That stuff is in there too. Let’s say you are a Windows user, but you have an iPhone, iPod, AirPort Base Station, Apple Display, or Apple TV. Processor speed, latest Mac OS that it could run, maximum amount of RAM that you could put in it and all the info about Expansion, Ports, Graphics, and even the famous audible “Startup Chime” feature. Things like when it was introduced and when it was discontinued. Once you scrolled down to iMac G5 (20-Inch iSight) and tapped on it, you would then see all the important information. There you see every iMac model since the first Bondi Blue introduced back in 1998. You would first scroll up to Desktops (assuming you had scrolled down to see what was there) and then you’d tap on iMac. ![]() So lets say you wanted to know the specs on the 20″ iMac G5 with iSight camera. Just like the desktop version, Mactracker for the iPhone is organized by category and then by Mac type. Well now that tool comes to your iPhone or iPod touch. It’s a great tool especially when you’re in the market for a used Mac or selling your Mac and you or your customer wants the specs. Mactracker has been a long standing indispensable reference tool on the Mac to look up the specs for all the various Mac hardware that Apple has released over the years. However, Windows users stay tuned, I’ve got a reason why you might want this too. This one is definitely going to have more appeal to the Mac users out there than the Windows PC users. ![]()
