So after all the public thrashing about I did about why and why you shouldn’t get an iPhone just yet and despite the fact that I already own a 16GB iPod touch, I ended up deciding late yesterday that I would be getting one after all. My reasons for the about face were: I hardly [...]

I’m like a crack addict counting all the good things that kicking an addiction brings back to your life while drenched in sweat from head-to-toe, teeth clattering from the “shakes” and making paranoid peeks out my window as I write this. It’s already a given that most people who buy any exciting new Apple product [...]
Now that the 3G iphone is no longer an urban legend but impending reality and the long-awaited app store is on its way, I’ve been thinking about what kind of business opportunities await the lucky iPhone SDK developer. I don’t think we’ll be seeing a “gold rush” more like a “rush” unless you mean it [...]
This year’s WWDC feels like Apple’s waking up from the coma that was last year to finally kick ass and take names and not the other way around. When you think about it, the only thing they got right was the iphone and ipod touch and those were sold high on promise and potential. Case [...]

Tell me if this doesn’t look like an iPhone. At least it does in the ads. I guess Japan’s third largest carrier, Softbank, couldn’t wait for the negotiations with Apple to get settled or maybe they thought the largest carrier, DoCoMo, would get it. Either way, we now have something for the diehards in case [...]
The iPod touch is now 32GB, at least the top of the line model. I’ve got a 16GB model which is now the middle version a video iPod with 30GB (60 was the max, which is now 80GB and 160GB respectively). It’s hard not to feel shafted when Apple keeps pushing out products that improve [...]
MacBook Air. I have a theory that Apple’s product naming scheme is getting inversely more crappier as the products become more amazing. So, we get an oversized iPod Touch for $1799 with a nice hardware keyboard and a hard disk drive with the capacity of a laptop from the early 1990s. Truly newsworthy. What’s more [...]
Now that the Macworld Expo is looming, I thought I would put out some wishes for Uncle Steve. I really don’t want anything big or fancy. Here we go. Fix Those Damn Leopard Issues Good I was all chuckling and smug at the little jokes made at Windows users and Vista victims at their expense. [...]
