Apple Notebook Event 14 October

Right, now after the rumor press has gone mad and there has been a lot of spoiling the wait for the announcement I share my take on things.
First off, let’s take another look at the picture that was used on the invitation:

What if this was it?
What if just this element was the notebook and there [...]

Video of iPhone running firmware 2.0 beta

For anyone curious about what awaits us in iPhone firmware version 2.0 beta, here’s a great post from engadget with descriptions and even videos. June is drawing nigh and I am very much looking forward to the new firmware. Unfortunately I haven’t really had time to play much with the SDK which the 2.0 firmware [...]

iPhone SMS Bug

Apple gives $100 to pre-price-cut iPhone buyers

Everyone who paid $599 for the 8GB iPhone up to 14 days before the price cut is due a $100 Apple in-store credit.
Apparently Apple received hundreds of emails from iPhone buyers who were upset about the price cut. Nice move of Apple, I would say, tough luck, that’s technology for you and guess what, things [...]
