Posted on August 7, 2009 | 5 Comments
I have been a tablet (convertible) user for a long time. Recently; I bought an older TC1100 with a SSD instead of a hard drive and installed Windows 7 on it. Amazing! But that is for another post. I originally wanted an Apple tablet… but that’s not going to happen,...

“..Wobble iBoobs is not rated, and the classic first person shooter, Doom, is rated 12+. However, e-book reader Eucalyptus is rated 17+ because you can search the Internet and access the Kama Sutra.” Really?

Notes from WWDC2009.. HTML5 and Video

Posted on June 8, 2009 | No Comments
I’m not going to go over everything, you can find that anywhere.. I’m instead going to look at a few things that I think are really interesting… HTML5 support! Why is this so important? HTML5 is like having flash lite without the plug-in! (I still wish I had flash though)....

The Palm Pre pricing is out. A bit cheaper then the iphone.. Cheap enough?

Posted on May 19, 2009 | 1 Comment
Maybe. Its $199 if you take on a 2 year plan and send in a $100 rebate. I HATE rebates. Enough that it could turn me off from thinking about the Palm Pre, but we’ll see what the user experience is like for sending them in and getting the money...

Well, according to macosxhints. They have not tried it, nor have I, but it seems like it could work. Since the new MacBooks now receive input from the iPhone’s headphones, you can use those headphones as a remote for running a presentation in Keynote ’09: One click starts the presentation....

At GDC yesterday, I walked past a display showing the ‘Zeemote’.

iPhone a FAIL in Japan? Sayz who?

Posted on March 1, 2009 | No Comments
Like everyone else, I’m been seeing a string of articles (most based off the wired article) saying Japan hates the iphone. Now hate is a strong word, but I bought most of what I read. Most.. The only thing that seemed odd to me was the ‘unfashionable’ bit. Really? I...

Posted on January 19, 2009 | 11 Comments
Finally, my clarifi case arrived. And so as promised, I did a few experiments… First though, the case itself. It’s a nice case, a bit too smooth for me which makes me fear I will drop it at some point. I may place a grip sticker on it. The case...
