Watched some of the live stream from Engadget on the iPad announcement today. It was, as expected, a tablet shaped like a big iPod. It comes with wireless and it can hook up to a 3G network if you buy the big one. Notably, for me, were the things it didn’t do:
No camera (!)
Poor battery [...]
I noticed something odd when thumbing through my calendar the other day on my iPhone. I noticed I had doubles of every entry in my calendar. I figured it was a sync issue so plugged it into my machine and noticed that I was syncing to the computer as well as to MobileMe. I figured [...]
I was going to write a little thing about how fun the ngmoco game Topple was, maybe even with an accompanying screen shot, but the App Store is still ridiculously slow here.

I’ve had my iPhone 3G for awhile now. When I first got it, I wanted to do a review of some of my favorite apps. Months passed. Summer turned to fall. There was still no review. But then, how could there be? I was still learning the territory, and there’s a lot to learn. iTunes [...]

The recent fiasco about Apple limiting an application on iTunes’ AppStore is well-documented. A great comment from the Twittersphere even hints at the kind of dark times this may be the harbinger of.
I’ve babbled about how DRM is bad for consumers and bad for the world before. I think it’s important to keep in mind [...]
A few weeks ago, I posted the first of a three-part headphone review. This is the second.
For the past five years or so, the Shure E3 headphones (now called SCL3) had been my sound delivery weapon of choice for serious business. Developed for stage use, they quickly became popularized for portable audio for their excellent [...]
I posted yesterday about some of the features I wished my iPod could do, and some of the things it can now as of the 2.0 software upgrade. There was a huge din of silence surrounding some vagueness about being able to watch video and listen to podcasts on your iPods. To clarify, of course [...]
