In the last days of typing and re-typing my SMTP address, I discovered the iPhone text typing magnifying glass. If you need to make changes in the middle of a word, when you hold your finger to the touchscreen for a few seconds without moving it, a magnifying glass will appear that lets you move […]

Yes, there is one very non-Apple like flaw in the iPhone SETTINGS. I’m NOT sure why they didn’t point this out or just pre-set it so people wouldn’t spend a day thrashing about trying to set it. I even had to walk outside and a distance to finally find a weak WiFi signal and finally […]

While it’s easy to think of Flash as being a mainstay of the consumer internet era, the reality is that it was the equivalent of a Spray Paint Gun, in the hands of an artist, it was and can be art – bringing complexity and depth to a 1-dimensional webpage. However, the reality is that […]

Hmmm…new iphone or new PS3? Even at $499, the PS3 is over priced imo. For those that have been holding out, perhaps now is the time to shop away? Slashdot throws some more digital ink at the subject here. Riccitello is harping about making better games over at EA (Metroxing and I are both multi […]

Whether you want to politely request something, or to use your outside voice, Apple would like your feedback and suggestions about the iPhone. My only complaint is how come my iPhone doesn’t seem to do everything in this video … [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcB8CKa73B0] Or yeah, this other guy accidentially broke the screen within a day – somehow […]

Thanks to reader STEVE for the update, only Tigard Oregon, Bridgeport Village & Pittsburgh PA, Shadyside Mall (?) is reporting iPhones in stock. For UPS & FedEx, July 4th is a “Ground” holiday so presumably no shipments arrived today at the Apple store. The Apple stores won’t report in again to the online page until […]

The iPhone has the exact same video specs as the 5.5 Generation iPod (aka: 30 GB & 80 GB video iPod): Video formats supported: H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio […]

The Universal boycott or game of chicken or gamesmanship is certainly an odd way to do business with iTunes. A writer from Forbes actually defends their actions as “good for industry.” Huh? WTH? Let’s review. CD sales are down. Free illegal downloads are still around. The ONLY major growth is LEGAL downloads of which iTunes […]
