My Thoughts on iPhone 4

June 8, 2010

When Apple released the iPhone 3G, I immediately upgraded. It was a no-brainer for me. I wanted the speed of the 3G network. The only thing that I missed was the design. I’ve always preferred the original design to the iPhone 3G and 3GS.

When the iPhone 3GS came out, most of the features that came [...]

Thoughts on new AT&T Data Plans

June 2, 2010

Earlier today I posted about AT&T’s announcement of tethering, which has me most intrigued. The other part of the announcement — actually the main part of the announcement and what has received the most press — was that AT&T is changing the rates for their data plan.

Macworld has a great “What You Need To Know” [...]

iPhone Tethering: More Questions Than Answers Right Now

June 2, 2010

AT&T announced today that they would finally offer tethering to iPhone customers, doing so a year after the feature became available on the iPhone for international users.

I try not to harp on AT&T too much, as I think all cellular carriers have problems, problems which would be grossly exaserbated if they were exposed to the [...]

Ever since I knew the iPad was going to be a reality, I’ve dreamed of what it could do for print journalism.

Via the D8 Conference and AllThingsD:

September 29, 2009

Patrick Jordan of Just Another iPhone Blog is responding to criticism over his not agreeing with $3 upgrade price for Tweetie 2.0 for iPhone:

NetNewsWire 2.0 for iPhone released

September 23, 2009

Newsgator has released NetNewsWire 2.0 for the iPhone, which now syncs with Google Reader, just like its desktop coounterpart. It also sports a new icon, itself an improvement over the 1.0 version.

160GB Apple TV gets price drop; 40GB model is killed

September 14, 2009

I love my AppleTV, so I’m rooting for Apple to upgrade the device with new options, such as access to Netflix and Hulu. Of course, these things are doubtful. That doesn’t mean they can’t offer some worthwhile upgrades.

Until then, I just hope they don’t discontinue it. So today’s news of price drops for 160GB models [...]

New in iTunes 9: Sync libraries with multiple computers

September 9, 2009

For me, the most exciting announcement from today’s Apple event was the introduction of Home Sharing:

Home Sharing brings iTunes synchronization to a home level. Up to now, it hasn’t been easy to synchronize iTunes between multiple computers without the use of scripts or third-party applications. Now up to five authorized computers in your house can [...]

Flickr iPhone app goes live

September 8, 2009

I just downloaded the Flickr iPhone app (iTunes link), but I haven’t tested it. It looks great, and the feature set described is near perfect. To boot, it is free.

I’ll save passing judgement until later, but at least one early review is not glowing, that from John Gruber of Daring Fireball.

But man, is this app [...]
