Even if the numbers of a million iPhones being unlocked are correct, that’s a MILLION iPhones walking around all over the world as FREE marketing and advertising for Apple – the most effective advertising of all – because it gives those users the cachet of doing something “not quite legal.” That they are “above the [...]

It’s pretty amazing the number of journalists who don’t look at a situation before just plowing ahead and writing words and “a conclusion.” They either choose to ignore the real world or they simply don’t understand it. Either way, it’s appalling. Yes, Amazon’s entry into the “unlocked” DRM free Mp3 market will affect Apple & [...]

Not actually blogging from here since we’re only #72,000 on Technorati … there are only about 15 seats … maybe next year. Other than the keynote, there’s not much to see that’s new – I don’t think Adobe is even here. The nicest booth by far is Belkin’s … If this were in Venice, it’d [...]

You’re on a plane, the movie they are offering is NORBIT or the edited 9-minute version of DEADWOOD … fortunately the rotund dude in front of you who had to buy two tickets is sound asleep and he’s wearing a white shirt – just attach the Pico Movie Projector to your iPod and you use [...]

Steve Jobs stumbled a bit around the quick price drop of the new iphone so maybe he is learning because the Apple web site confirms that Apple will be opening up the iPhone and iPod Touch to third party developers. While the recent iphone update (ver 1.1.1) bricked hacked iPhones, it also bricked iPhones running [...]

Part I covered the “extra” features of the iPhone – most not revolutionary and not even evolutionary but here’s a strange concept to them apparently for cell phone manufacturers and mobile service providers … something really, really radical … A concept strange to them … EASY TO USE. What a strange concept. Anyone can throw [...]

There is a lot of heated rhetoric regarding the iPhone but let’s separate the idle chatter from real facts: IF YOU TRY TO UNLOCK IT, YOU MIGHT BRICK IT Uh, yea. If you try and replace the carburetor on your BMW 6-series and your car starts belching black smoke and all the lights on the [...]
