Efficient parsing of the top tips for typing more effectively on the Apple iPhone virtual keyboard…thanks Howcast.
iPhone: The Palm Pre is here. *Yawn* – for how long?
Ok, I’ve been reading every damn post, article, tweet, and blog post re: PALMs new Pre smartphone. And have come to the conclusion that the Pre will not be an iPhone killer out of the gate. Here are my reasons:
Video: Google Wave – Is it a Killer App?
I’ve just watched a video from Google IO 2009, where Lars and Jens, the guys who created everyone’s favorite map tool, Google Maps, have just unveiled Google Wave.
NYT: Gadgetwise: Blu-ray – Is Optical Dead?
[Rethinking Blu-ray - Gadgetwise Blog - NYTimes.com] Ok, the NYT is saying the indicators are that Blu-ray is on the upswing…personally, I’m don’t buy it…I don’t know anyone w/a Blu-ray player that didn’t come as a by-product in a game console and I don’t know anyone buying any discs? Do you?
NYT: Oracle to buy Sun for 7.4 Billion
Oy, apparently this makes sense…but there’s something about this deal take makes me twitch…maybe it’s Larry’s overuse of “Just For Men”.
PRE PALM PRE: “Let’s keep the momentum going boys…”
Ok, so believe it or not…there were smartphones before the iPhone…in fact, PALM had made quite a few of them…prior to my owning an iPhone, I owned no less than 4 Palm devices…2 of which were smartphones…the Treo 600 and the 650…both of which were handy devices…in fact, for note taking, IMHO, they were better devices than my iPhone…which I still can’t import those notes into w/out a mod…that said…the iPhone blows the Treo away on almost all other counts…as soon as APPL made their phone available…and I managed to get my hands on one…I sold both the iPod and the Treo…because I was sick of having to carry around mulitple devices…
TC: Google in talks with Twitter.
