What people aren’t saying about the iPhone

Posted by Simon in Apple with 3 Responses

SoiPhone Launch, it’s not far off now, one of the biggest launches on consumer electronics history.  Yes, I am, of course, talking about the new George Foreman Grill.  Now, you can grill half a donkey in 46 seconds while still retaining 82% of the nutrition and banishing 68% of the fat.  Mmmmm, donkey.  No, I’m actually talking about the iPhone.  In a few short days there will be lines of people queuing (or sleeping) outside stores across the US waiting for the launch.  Thankfully, Apple put up a fairly long introductory video explaining the main features.  Which is nice.  There are, however, some things people just don’t seem to be talking about.  And for me, they are fairly crucial as to whether the iPhone is a viable device or not.  So lets go through them here, and now.

    Posted by Simon in Web Design with No Responses Yet

    I’ve written about the BBC and their odd website and IT practices before, but this one is just plain strange. I was thinking about heading down to Cornwall over weekend for a few days R & R, so, as you do in the UK’s changeable climate, I wanted to check the weather forecast. [...]

  • Has Apple Lost the Plot?

    Posted by Simon in Apple with No Responses Yet

    So the WWDC keynote has been and gone, and we’ve seen most of what Leopard has to offer. No great surprises (except for what’s missing perhaps) and a few tidbits about the iPhone and Safari on Windows. I wrote briefly about the Leopard details earlier, but now I’d like to look at the [...]

  • 5 Things you may not have noticed about Leopard

    Posted by Simon in 5 Things, Apple with No Responses Yet

    I’m sure most of you who are reading this right now have already scoured the keynote coverage from earlier today, trying to seek out every last morsel of information. Well, so have I! Strangely, the real source of information wasn’t on stage, but rather on the apple site. Out of the 300+ [...]

  • 5 Ways to get the most out of Spotlight

    Posted by Simon in 5 Things, Apple with No Responses Yet

    I remember when Spotlight was a major selling point of OSX. This ability search your entire computer and have the results before you’ve finished typing was very impressive. This ease of use belies the power that lies within Spotlight, it really is a Google for your desktop (as opposed to Google Desktop, which [...]
