The Courier is Dead
This is one tech news story that makes me sad: Microsoft has apparently pulled the plug on the Courier project before even giving it a chance to sell. STUPIDEST. MOVE. EVER. Now what am I supposed to do for my dreams of having a tablet device of some sort take my handwriting and put into [...]
What the iPad should have been
Well, well, well… I heard about the Courier last year (in September on Engadget, which I referred to on ‘Thoughts on the iPad’ as the Contour by accident…) I was super excited and hoped this wouldn’t be an “in the lab only” device. It looks like Microsoft is planning on releasing this bad boy, and [...]
Engadget column on iPad
I found this Engadget column from Ross Rubin interesting, if only because it matches my own thinking about “minding the gap” with Apple’s new iPad.
The price of piracy
First off, let me just say that I still maintain a firm “what is this thing really for” attitude toward the Apple iPad. But since its announcement, a lot of the different aspects of the device have been rolling around in my mind. The new iBook bookstore that will be in iTunes is one of [...]
Who will buy the iPad? Wired has the answer
Apparently Wired writer Lore Sjöberg (who has a name I could never pronounce) has a good idea of who will be buying the iPad once it comes out in the next few months. My favorite: Star Trek cosplayers. Looking for my thoughts on the iPad (if you missed it.) Click here or here.
E-readers and why they haven’t taken off yet
When Apple had announced that they were releasing the iPad, I had high hopes and expectations for a device that could do all sorts of things. Heck, I was hoping it would even read my thoughts and translate them into exactly what I’d want to do at any given moment. The problem is that by [...]
Thoughts on the iPad
Let me be honest here: I do enjoy myself some Apple products. I was on the bandwagon with the iPod Touch when it first arrived on the scene back in 2007 and ordered one off the Apple website with the custom inscription on the back that reads “Mr. Gnome’s Magical Music Device.” Back in 2007, [...]
Apple iPad. Really?
First, let me just say naming something like Apple’s new tablet device, the iPad, shouldn’t come with the thought of “isn’t that a feminine hygiene product?” I say this because that is what I thought at first, along with an anchor on MSNBC and a friend on Twitter. And let us not forget that Mad [...]
AppStore, the real big release for Apple yesterday
I’d like to argue a point here that I think many in the press are likely to overlook because of the sleek, sexy new iPhone 3G that came out yesterday with all those dang bells and whistles that got added to the 2.0 model. I imagine the next one will have WiMAX or something like [...]
The New and Improved iPhone
You know, those dreamers over at Apple have done it again: left me feeling an emptiness inside and cursing myself for switching over to Verizon midway through the year. If only I had held on six more tumultuous months I could have been staring the brand spanking new iPhone 3G in the face, and much [...]
