Well, maybe I did…In my original post, from almost exactly one year ago, and which is basically a visceral reaction to a phone conversation I had w/Caples’ and his stubborn arrogance about the services superiority, I make the following points (I’m paraphrasing myself here):

iPhone OS 4.0 Event Today – Take the Hit Now or Keep the Momentum Going?
With the iPhone OS 4.0 event today…I’m betting on some nice new features. Odds are low on the Verizon or iPhone HD announcements, although that would be nice…And I expect Steve to intro Scott Forestall who will do most of the talking…but you never know…one last thing may show up…
Bouv’s Apple Tablet Round Up – Why the Splashy Color Invite?
[Apple's invite image for 1.27.10 ] In just over a week, on January 27th at 1PM EST at the Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco to be exact, Apple may end literally years of speculation surrounding their creation of a tablet-style consumer device. Will it be a full-fledged computer? An e-Book reader? A giant iPhone with video conference capabilities? I have some thoughts…
Microsloth Leading the Sheep to the Slaughter – “Look, we have stores too!”
Microsloth, in yet another un-original move, has opened their own retail presence.
Congratulations, that’s 1000 stolen business plans! Most people who inhabit the spaces that will contain the stores may become confused when they purchase their computer from a Microsoft store, and then accidentally wander into an Apple store looking for support…oh well…
Apple + iTunes + The Beatles – Finally!
9 to 5 Mac is reporting that Apple will finally offer The Beatles catalog through the iTunes music store.
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…
iPhone 3.0 Software Sneaks Out Today. How’d I miss this?
MobileCrunch has a very good post re: today’s iPhone 3.0 software update, including a citation of definite cut and paste from Mr. Kevin Rose himself on a recent SXSW Diggnation episode:
Apple Dumps MacWorld: Feh.
In this weeks MacWorld newsletter…longtime editor Jason Snell waxes on re: Apple’s decision to dump MacWorld Expo.
Most of his points follow the common thinking…
1. The announcement may have been a cover for SJ’s ailing health.
2. Apple is sick of having to pull the curtain off of new products along IDG’s schedule.
3. Apple Stores are like Mini-MacWorld show floors.
Apple: Creative Pro: WISDOM.
The Apple marketing team does a very nice job with the case studies, this latest one…on a documentary focusing on life lessons called Wisdom by director Andrew Zuckerman dovetails nicely into the Apple milieu. Check out the videos…
