iOS 4.3: I think we’re done here

Almost 3 years + 1 month later, the last item on my iPod wishlist can be checked off: iTunes connectivity – it already hooks into the iTunes Music Store via wifi, why not allow it to browse and playback music from shared iTunes libraries on the LAN? I would love to be able to access [...]

iOS 4.2

A couple of years ago when I got my first iPod touch, I wrote up a small wishlist of things I’d like to see it be able to do. That was back in 2008 and I’m happy to report that 3 out of 5 things have been done. Not bad, but the number one thing [...]

Top 5 iPhone / iPod games

It’s been awhile since I’ve done a favorite list of apps for my iPhone. Even more shockingly, I don’t think I’ve done a Top 5 games on my iPhone. A list that changes nearly every month as a new favorite rolls in and bumps out the old. Here’s what I’m playing now. (note, links to [...]

Instead, I’m going to write just a little bit about monocultures and why they suck. When everything works, you can almost believe that [...]

My top five favorite iPhone/iPod apps

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 demise of this iPod is greatly exaggerated

Since Woz spouted off about the death of the iPod in an interview yesterday, some pundits are all a-twitter about what this means for the world’s favorite media player. While I can’t argue with the fact that the devices have become commoditized to within an inch of being useless (the change from Wolfson Audio to [...]
