The grand idea of the Apple Tablet becoming the next big eBook reader might not happen the way many of us thought according to this piece. Apparently this is simply not a market in which Apple wishes to spend much time with.
At the same time, with the video and music market already having Apple’s boot [...]

Honestly feeling bad for the Chinese consumers who are excited at the prospect of finally having access to the iPhone. Why? Because it is going to be lacking a big feature. No Wifi.
I cannot even wrap my head around not having access to wifi with my iPhone. I say this as the 3G access on [...]

The person who is largely behind the successful Apple ads over the years is not going anywhere. No really, the rumors beating about the web stating that he is somehow moving on from Apple advertising efforts is simply not true.
Apparently there was some confusion when word got out that his company was doing some personal [...]

Android is not nor will it likely ever be a threat to the iPhone. This being said, I do see it as a significant threat to Windows Mobile. See, enterprise users that want a true Enterprise level phone are likely either going to use the BlackBerry or setup an iPhone with as many enterprise ready [...]

I rarely agree with Scoble much on tech issues. However this article illustrates one instance where I believe he is spot on. These days, it is the most used applications that win the mobile game. Clearly for more and more people, this means the iPhone.
Take the Amazon Kindle app for instance. Until the Kindle comes [...]

Okay, so clearly a Tablet computer is definitely in Apple’s future. With all of the speculation rolling around, Apple would be foolish not to act on all of the hype by this point. There is just so much opportunity out there.
Now the question is what it is to be used for? Is this to be [...]

To be honest, I have a number of mixed feelings on the idea of a Mini Server edition. I mean, the Mini was always best targeted to the new Apple users who did not wish to drop $1000+ on a new computer first time in.
But with the changing economy, comes the need for a cost [...]

Honestly have never been too impressed with the AirPort Extreme or the Time Capsule. This being said, the improvements being described here sound like they are long overdue.
The new antenna design for the AP Extreme are great to have available for sure, while the bugs plaguing the Time Capsule in the past appears to be [...]

Is it just too little, too late? Some people might feel this way when it comes to considering where this leaves Apple’s presence overseas with regard to iTunes. The fact that matter is up until now, those in the EU wanting to purchase from iTunes where largely out of luck.
As with most things legal, bringing [...]

Seems like Apple is really out to stop jailbreaking no matter how many people it may tick off. Then again, it is their device, they make it very clear that it is NOT open in any way. So blocking jailbreaking should not shock many.
What will eventually happen is enough people will find this unacceptable and [...]

Despite the fact that we are still very much in a troubled economy, ripe with job loss, Apple is seeing Mac sales doing quite well everything considered. And to that end, computer sales overall, appear to have recovered greatly despite the continued economic troubles felt by other industries.
With the upcoming release of the Windows 7 [...]

Trillian is ready with their own IM client for iPhone users. And yet as usual, we see Apple dragging their feet with the release of the Trillian app for the iPhone even though it sure seems like Trillian has done everything right on their end?
Sure, there are already plenty of instant messengers for the iPhone [...]

Wow, according to this article is looks like Apple is finally looking into the data loss (or misplacement) issue that the Internet has been abuzz about lately. This is a good thing. It’s actually rather sad, as it does seem like Snow Leopard was filled with entirely too much yellow snow in its initial release. [...]

Word on the street is that Apple’s Mac sales actually do better than Microsoft opts to release a new version of Windows. Honesty, not being a fan of either, I am fairly comfortable with either in a state of new release and I was skeptical about this news.
Still, as the link demonstrates above, clearly it [...]

As most of us remember, the Blackberry Storm 1 sucked fairly badly. So when I heard about the release of a Blackberry 2 phone being called an iPhone killer yet again. Frankly, I am beyond doubtful. This is not to say that the new Blackberry is not worth taking a look at, simply the fact [...]

Lately I have NOT been in love with my iPhone’s constant memory leaks or the given network available for us in the U.S. Regardless, the folks over at J.D. Power have shown that smartphone owners are happier people.
The areas in which the iPhone was specifically awarded high marks generally seemed accurate. However in the section [...]

Something early on told me not to use my wife’s new Snow Leopard upgrade. Clearly, I was spot-on with waiting it seems. According to the linked article, there is a NASTY OS X bug that has Snow Leopard users scrambling to make sure their backups are recent ones.
Luckily there have been reports of a method [...]

The idea seems fairly straight forward. Provide an iPhone compatible GPS solution, using one of the most popular smart phones available today. But there are a couple of issues, as pointed out in this short article.
First of all, the iPhone application is not included with the TomTom kit for the iPhone. Not really a big [...]

Sometimes Ballmer is so out of touch it hurts. This is clearly one of those moments. According to the Microsoft CEO, your desktop or notebook is all the eBook reader you should ever need. Uh, then why is my wife using her Kindle app for the iPhone like it was dispensing candy then? Simple, because [...]

It’s something that has been bugging me a bit. Is adding MapQuest to the iPhone merely redundant or instead are we going to see added functionality? Based on what I can see, it looks like a lot of cool functionality is being added.
But all of the cool new features in the world means little if [...]
