Apple iPad - Live Coverage and Analysis in Apple
After years of rumors, speculation, and leaks, Apple today announced its long-await tablet, the iPad.



Chief executive Steve Jobs complemented the introduction of the new device with a new e-bookstore, called iBooks, together with partnerships with four major publishers, and showed off new versions of its iWork application and third-party applications.

Jobs kicked off the company's launch event in San Francisco on Wednesday by highlighting the history of the company's mobile products. "We're the largest mobile device company in the world," he told the audience, showcasing the iPhone and the company's line of MacBook products.

"There is room for something in the middle," he told the crowd. "If there's gonna be a third category, it has to be better at [Web browsing, e-mail, photos, video, music, games, and e-book reader]—otherwise it has no reason for being."

While netbooks have attempted to address the space, Jobs added, "netbooks aren't better than anything…They're just cheap laptops."

The key, he insisted is the tablet—a new device the company has christened the "iPad," one of several rumored names, including the "iSlate" and, simply, the "Apple Tablet." The iPad features a 9.7-inch, full capacitive multi-touch IPS display, weighs 1.5 pounds and measures 0.5 inches thick—"thinner and lighter than any netbook," according to Jobs.

Pricing for the iPad starts at $499 – far lower than the early $1,000 projections of many analysts. The 16-, 32-, and 64-GB devices run $499, $599, $699 – with an additional $130 for 3G capability. The device will begin shipping in March.

For the chipset, the company went in-house, designing a 1-GHz Apple A4, contrary to rumors that the device would be powered by an Intel or Samsung chip. The iPad comes in three capacities: 16-, 32, and 64GB. It features built-in 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1, an accelerometer, company, speaker, and microphone.

The iPad has a built-in iTunes store, for music playback. Itcan also do video, naturally, either via iTunes for movies and TV shows, or via third-party apps like YouTube and YouTube HD. The device syncs to Macs and PCs via USB, in much the same manner as the iPhone, so users can transfer content like movies and music from iTunes.

According to Jobs, the device gets 10 hours of battery life. "I can take a flight from San Francisco to Tokyo and watch video the whole time." It also features a month of standby time on a single charge, he said.

Apple is offering two 3G data plans for the device: $14.99 a month for 250-MB or $29.99 for unlimited data. "Data plans usually cost about $60 a month," Jobs told the crowd.

Contrary to early Verizon partnership rumors, the plan is available solely through AT&T. No contract is required. "International plans will be in place by June," Jobs added. Those uninterested in 3G data will be able to use the device with Wi-Fi, of course.

Jobs surrendered the stage to a number of content providers. First off, Mark Hickey from video game publisher Gameloft showcased a first person shooter for the device called Nova.

Travis Boatman from EA showcased a the upcoming title: "Need For Speed: Shift". "Building for the iPad is like holding an HD display up to your face," he told the crowd.

Martin Nisenholtz from The New York Times took the stage to show off "something special for the iPad." The paper's layout on the device mimics a standard newspaper. "We think we've captured the essence of reading the newspaper," he told the crowd. "A superior experience in a native application." The application also lets users play video, making newspaper reading a multi-media experience.

Developer Steve Sprang showcased an application called Brushes, which is already available as an iPhone app. In iPad form, the application takes advantage of the device's significantly increased real-estate, offering a deep artistic canvas experience. The app, according to Sprang, will be available when the iPad launches. Chad Evans from MLB.com also showcased a new app for the device featuring live video.

Jobs came back on stage to take a shot at Amazon's successful Kindle. "Amazon has done a great job of pioneering [e-readers]," Jobs told the crowd. "We're going to stand on their shoulders for this." The new e-book reader for the iPad is titled, fittingly enough, iBooks. Apple partnered with a slew of major publishers, including Penguin, Harper-Collings, Simon & Schuster, Macmillan, and the Hachette Book Group to provide content for the device's online book store called the iBookStore.

Unlike the Kindle, the iPad displays titles in full color. The screen's animation lets users flip quickly through the pages of the book. Users can even change the font of the books they're reading. The device utilizes the nearly universal ePub format for its titles.

For more business-minded users Apple has developed a special iPad version of iWork, making it possible to create and view spreadsheets on the device. The device can also view slides in Keynote and PDF files via Adobe Acrobat. iWork applications will run $9.99 a piece and will be compatible with Macs and projectors.

Apple is also offering a number of accessories for the device, including two docks. The first is a picture dock, which lets the device stand upright for video and image viewing. The other has a built-in keyboard, transforming the iPad into a more fully functioning netbook of sorts. Apple's case also lets the device stand upright.

Exclusive Hands on: BlackBerry Bold 9700 review in Entertainment, Film and Music, Mobile devices and media
RIM has announced the new BlackBerry Bold 9700 to the world today, and TechRadar got some good face-time with the new phone at the press conference in Germany.

The new Bold is a remodelled version of the original model - the Bold 9000 - meaning it once again packs 3G connectivity, which most in the BlackBerry range don't have.

It's been downsized quite significantly over the original Bold, which may be an issue for fans of the original - many were attracted to the larger screen and well-spaced keyboard.
       
RIM has announced the new BlackBerry Bold 9700 to the world today, and TechRadar got some good face-time with the new phone at the press conference in Germany.
The new Bold is a remodelled version of the original model - the Bold 9000[ - meaning it once again packs 3G connectivity, which most in the BlackBerry range don't have.
It'sbeen downsized quite significantly over the original Bold, which may bean issue for fans of the original - many were attracted to the largerscreen and well-spaced keyboard.

Inpractice, we didn't find it much of an issue. The keyboard is nicelyraised for easy keystrikes, and while we might have been a tiny bitless accurate inputting text, the Bold 9700's svelte frame more thanmade up for it by sitting more comfortably in the palm.

Anotherbig update is the loss of the trackball - it's been replaced with thesame optical trackpad seen on the Curve 8520 and some Samsung handsetstoo.

It'sa nice update to the hardware, and while BlackBerry is extolling theimproved feel and accuracy of the optical trackpad, the main sellingpoint is there will be no more broken trackballs - something whichanecdotally has affected a fairly high number of phones.

The outside of the phone is also similar to the Curve 8520,with rubberised buttons for the volume, camera shutter and functionkeys. The headphone jack has also been recessed into the curvedchassis, which we felt wasn't as nice as a flat port, as the 3.5mm pinsticks out slightly on the new Bold 9700.

We'renot huge fans of the faux-leather rear either - it's an odd one as RIMclearly favours it for the BlackBerry range, being used on the previousBold as well.

Ituses microUSB with an open port on the side for charging and PCconnection (BlackBerry Media Sync is included for connection to iTunesand Windows Media Player) so you might need to watch out for dust andother such nasties collecting in there when in the pocket.


Thescreen is bright and vibrant though, with the BlackBerry 5 OS workingnicely with a good layout. The home screen isn't going to be anythingnew to BB fans, but at least the new user will be able to work outwhat's going on instantly.

Onenice element to the Bold 9700 is the 624MHz processor under the hood -it's not in the same league as the Snapdragon 1GHz from Qualcomm butthe interface really zips along with the new Bold.

GoogleMaps was very quick to load up for instance, and generally opening andshutting applications was as fast as you can hope for, with the littlepausing timer icon a rarity to see.

Andwhile the screen may have been reduced to 2.44-inches for the Bold9700, video looks phenomenal and high resolution, despite only beingHVGA in terms of the number of pixels.

Overall,we were impressed with the new Bold 9700 - it's not a game changer byany stretch of the imagination for RIM, but the company has built areputation on slowly releasing ever better handsets (with the Storm perhaps an exception, although the new release does go some way to tempering that).
Givena UK release date for the start of November, we're awaiting news ofwhich vendors will be carrying it, with O2 reportedly at the head ofthe queue.

Roberts solarDAB radio - Best Solar Powered radio (Review) in Entertainment, Film and Music, Mobile devices and media
The Roberts solarDAB Radio is one of the best innovations I've seen in
the DAB radio market for sometime.  Whilst most radio makers try and
compete with the iPod by offering you the ability to stream music from
your computer Roberts has taken a step back and produced a radio
that's proud to live up to it's DAB title with a little twist.



As I said this is a true DAB radio with one special feature, a solar
panel.  Whilst at first it may sound gimmicky it's actually quite
useful.  Once you get the radio you'll need to leave it to charge for
24 hours then your set to go. Leaving it in a sunny spot for a few
hours won't use any of it's internal battery, just as long as you have
enough solar 'juice'.  A  handy level indicator on the display shows
the power level generated by the solar panel.



From a design standpoint the solarDAB is very functional and good
looking.  With five buttons and two giant rubberised knobs this would
be a great gift to give to a family member who isn't much of a techie.
Whilst it's been pointed out to me that the screen is a little small
it does make up in clarity and brightness and you'll have no problem
using this out in the garden without having to cover the screen to see
what you're looking at.



The aerial is detachable which is great for people who travel and
comes with a standard headphone jack and a line in socket for iPod
playback.



The speaker is good for a small radio and like most Roberts radios the
sound is rich and warm.  The radio is best suited for people who leave
radio 4 on all day.

Whilst the green ECO badge isn't officially accredited mark it's
certainly a lot cheaper to run than any other DAB radio on the market
today.

You can pick up the solarDAB radio in white, black, red, green and of
course the obligatory pink.  Amazon are currently selling the radio
for £68.00 but you'll be able to get a better deal on the web if you
do you do a bit of digging.



I'm really impressed with the solarDAB and whilst I have a few niggles
I'll defiantly be recommending this radio to all and sundry.  This is
a clear step away from the norm for Roberts who are synonymous with
making those 'old' looking DAB radios and this can only be a good
thing for a company renowned for it's excellent sounding radios.


The Good

       
                   
  • One of the best looking radio's I've seen in a long time.
                   
  • Being able to charge the device whilst using it at the same time.
                   
  • The retractable ariel, great for taking the device away on holiday.
           


The Bad

       
                   
  • It's only DAB, no FM which isn't great if you plan on taking it abroad.
                   
  • The small screen can be an issue for some people.
                   
  • We live in Britain, so finding sufficient sunlight can be an issue.
           



Specifications




Does the solarDAB work? Yes it does. There's a little sliding scalethat appears on the display when the product is exposed to usablesunlight, with the number of bars displayed representing the amount ofpower being delivered by the unit’s solar panel. Roberts says if lessthan half the ten bars are showing, then there's enough power beingprovided to assist the unit’s rechargeable batteries, and the radiowill operate for longer than it would if just relying on therechargeable batteries alone.
If more than half the bars are illuminated, then the photovoltaiccells can power the radio on its own and have some juice left over torecharge the batteries too. If all the little LED bars are lit, well,you're laughing. The radio can operate without the battery pack at all,but this doesn't produce very satisfactory results.


We found that the panel was pretty sensitive. We placed it behind aheavily frosted window on a moderately sunny day and there was stillaround half the bars showing. Indeed, a nice sunny windowsill is theradio's preferred spot. But it is outside that it really comes into itsown.
Even moderate sunlight means the radio can keep going for reallylong periods of time, even at a decent volume. On its own, withoutassistance from the panel, the radio can manage around a quoted andbasically accurate 27 hours of playback. If the weather is really good,it can keep going as long as the sun shines, in theory at least.

MySpace is to Facebook as Twitter is to... in Business and Industry in Gaming, Media, Web, IT and Computing
The past few weeks have come with two major reveals for the weirdoswho follow online social networks. The first was big news. Twitter’sinternal documents leaked and the identity-crisis of earth’s most popular start-up is now public. The second was more under the radar but just as important. In a memo that went out to staff, the CEO of MySpace admitted that their users are caught between three competing notions of what MySpace is or should be.
Twitter and Myspace are different companies in different markets butthere is a lot of evidence to suggest that they share, and will alwaysshare, the exact same problem. MySpace and Twitter are hugely popular for uses neither company anticipated.The mission of each company is so vague that their products arestretched and molded into a variety of different uses. Instead oftargeting and building their business around one of these users they take their sudden popularity as a sign they have a killer product. They don’t.
Scale is Everything


When an industry is in transition or an idea like ‘social networking’ is still being fleshed out, getting explosively popular without knowing the nuances of why is a curse.Twitter is young but in my opinion, it’s already too late. It has growntoo big, too fast, for too many different purposes. It will take 2 orthree years but Twitter will be lapped by a variety of similar services with focus and actual business models; how Facebook developed in response to MySpace sheds light on what kind.
How MySpace Scaled


Since its inception MySpace has gone after users as if they werePokemon’. MySpace managers ran competitions on sign ups and theemployes used a slew of methods to capture. The result was a sprawlingnetwork of users but by 2005, it seemed to be working. If you looked at the stats, MySpace was an utter phenomena. It destroyed Friendster and after it was purchased by Murdoch it was getting all types of press and valuations. What the raw stats didn’t tell you is that user habits on the site looked something like this:




The problem with this way of scaling is simple. When a new cultural practice, like ’social networking’, is in the grass roots stages of development you can’t assume that people are going to your site because they like it. Your competition doesn’t really exist yet. What they might like are certain aspects of your productor they might be using parts of it in ways you never designed. The onlyway to address this is to study your users obsessively, focus on aparticular experience, then update your product accordingly.
Because MySpace grew in so many different markets at a single timeand gave users so much space to use the service how they liked, they’ve never been in a position to either watch or effectively control this experience. How do you update a product without knowing its target? You don’t. MySpace at its height and the current MySpace look remarkably similar, it lost control to its users. It has gone from being hailed as one of the best acquisitions ever made to a drain on News Corps portfolio. The results look like this:


How Facebook Scaled


When it comes down to it the mechanisms of MySpace and Facebook are not that different. Thepieces and concept are nearly the same. Both are constructed of userprofiles, avatars, walls, interest spaces, groups, photo capabilities,and a friend confirmation/listing process.
Facebook distinguished itself philosophically and pragmatically. Zuckerberg’s biggest insight into designing the site was that you are online who you are in real life. Facebook was one of the first social networks to emphasize genuine identity insofar as they required full names, university email addresses, and deleted accounts that used aliases. The second was pragmatic. Facebook launched in a single target market. In this case, of course, it was Harvard.
What this enabled was a less abstract more manageable mission.Instead of having to define what an ‘online social networking space’was supposed to be for everyone, Zuckerburg just had to answer forHarvard. As Facebook became popular on campus, he was able to see directly into how his peers interacted with the site and was able to update the product to help them use it more efficiently. Becausethey were all college students, the feedback he was getting was focusedand nuanced. Having less users also meant they could redesign theirentire product without pissing off disparate subsections. The resultwas an incremental evolution. The Facbeook that started at Harvard looks radically different than the one we use today. It worked.
How Twitter Scaled


Twitter grew much like MySpace. It ran competition for signing upusers, aliases were allowed, and it grew in multiple markets at theexact same time. Twitter started as a group SMS texting service then became popular for something wholly different. By restricting the length of a message the site inadvertently addressed one of the oldest problems in group communication. How do you hear many voices at a single time? Twitter’s answer is dead simple. 140.
This little restriction has produced a fascinating, highly-addictive product. If you look at the stats, Twitter seems to be working. It’s one of the most popular websites in the world and now has an excess of 44 million members.For those who invested or employees that had stock options, it must bean incredible feeling. I have grown to love Twitter but in my opinion we are rapidly approaching its peak. Its parallels to MySpace in 2006 are explicit. Twitter has been bootstrapped for a vast number of uses and while its exciting to watch, its service is not containable . Like MySpace, Twitter is getting pulled in a variety of directions:

Why Twitter Will Dissolve and Turn into Detroit


The ability to hear and communicate messages with a group is what brought Twitter its initial wave of users but the real allure of Twitter, the reason it has caught the imagination of the press and millions of users, is something much more abstract.
On Twitter, you can hear a public.
Of course, there isn’t just one public, there is an infinite number.Whether it’s your country, your college, your city, or a shared nicheinterest like nyc media, everyone belongs to many publics and most everyone has a natural curiosity about what’s happening inside of them.
Twitter offers a way to manage how you see these publics. The problem is that its 140 character restriction is a blunt instrument. The site does not reflect the potential or nuance in which a public can speak to itself online.

Twitter as a network is an ungodly mess. From the onset, the site has allowed users to register aliases on custom URLs and because of it, usernames are inconsistent and confusing. It’s hard to find people who you know and its often even difficult to deduct wether that person is who they claim to be. Twitter is mobbed by impersonators,some of them hilarious, others manipulating. Twitter addresses thisissue recently by creating a ‘Verified Account’ stamp, its sloppy butmore importantly, perpetually incomplete.

There are a host of other problems related to reputation and maintaing users but the biggest issue concerns its identity, which is also where the leaked documentsgot interesting. Twitter employees are so clearly uncertain about whattheir product is even doing. Shots at it swayed from, “Twitter  is fordiscovering and sharing what is happening right now,” to, “Twitter makes you smarter, faster, more efficient and more powerful.”  

Twitter became popular before it had a mission. What this means is that its employees and investors will forever be trapped in boardrooms having these inane cyclical discussions about its identity. Twitter will either perpetually be simple insofar as its millions of users will have to hack the service to reflect their own values or it will roll the dice on a focus, put the site through chronic redesigns, and risk a mass user exodus.Either way its top talent will likely get frustrated and leave thecompany. Its top users will drift to something else then jump.

How Twitter will Resolve

The first thing to realize is that thereprobably isn’t going to be just one product to replace Twitter, therewill be several and they will battle it out or find niches. I see theirdesign following two trends with a potential for a hybrid.

The first trend is a service with the most minimal centralization possible. Both Dave Winer and Anil Dash have discussed plans for such a product. Winer calls his the RSSCloud and Dash describes the project more generally as the Push Button web. The RSSCloud grew from discussions with Jay Rosen over frustrations with Twitter and how its users have been bootstrapping. The line of thought is that your data belongs to you, not Twitter, and you should be able to use your data how you like with as little brand interference as possible. The proposal is to build RSSCloud, a loosely coupled service that will push your data to any website in real time.

The second is a product that is centralized but has an elegant way of organizingits content and attracting users. This is a product that would look andscale much like Facebook. It would start in a single target market anddevelop as a place for users to hear and communicate to thatpublic. Ideally it would begin in a cloistered network like auniversity where establishing members is as easy as checking their .eduemail address.

Addressing what’s wrong with Twitter isn’t going to come from thin air. It’s going to take a lot of time, development, and platform competition.

Many will soon be working on this, myself included. What will fill the blank is likely to define modern news production.

10 Gaming Gadgets That Will Make Us Hurt Ourselves in Gaming
Maybe videogames are hazardous to our health — just not in the waypeople usually think. Since the success of the Wii and its motioncontrollers, companies looking to cash in on the videogame fitnesscraze have concocted loads of accessories and controllers designed toget players jumping and flailing around the room.
It’s all fun and games until somebody gets a Wiimote in the eye.Here are the game accessories we think have the greatest potential fordamage.
10. Wi-Bowl
(CTA Digital)
As if enough televisions haven’t already been destroyed byoverzealous Wii bowlers, here comes Wi-Bowl. According to themanufacturer, the accessory lets you “mimic all the critical motions a’striking’ performance requires” and is modeled after a real bowlingball. Though the company advises that you securely fasten the wriststrap, we have a nagging feeling the real feel of the bowling ball willcause some players to forget they’re not at AMF Lanes and let go.(Watch out for Grandma’s two-handed toss, too.)


9. Wii Boxing Gloves
(Everlast)
These officially licensed gloves are meant to intensify your Punch-Out!! experience.But we worry that the padding on these gloves, which attach to the Wiiremote and Nunchuk, will give people the idea that it’s OK to punchtheir real-life opponents. The gloves come in black or red, the perfectcolors to match your kid brother’s shiny black eye.

8. Tony Hawk: Ride Skateboard Controller
(Activision, October 2009)
The new game in the popular skateboarding series will be the firstto include an actual skateboard peripheral. This sounds like a greatidea, but then again, isn’t the whole point of skateboard games to avoidthe injuries that real skateboarders endure? If you flip out on theboard controller, you can get skinned knees and take crotch shots inthe comfort of your own home. We’re waiting for the YouTube videos ofgamers grinding coffee tables and board-sliding down the basementstaircase. (Not to mention some of our suggested games for the Ride board.)


7. Dual Glow Sabers for Wii
(Dreamgear)
Yeah, like you’re not going to be smashing these together while making wreeeoooow noises with your mouth.

6. The Wii Balance Board
(Nintendo)
The Balance Board looks innocuous enough, but it asks players to perform physical feats they may not be used to. Games such as Wii Fit certainly test your balance with risky exercises like the one-legged yoga tree pose. EA Sports Activehas you doing karate kicks while standing on the thing. Some personaltrainers warn that the Balance Board can be dangerous if you don’t knowwhat you’re doing and, like Wii Tennis elbow, some gamers have beguncomplaining about “Wii knee” from using the board too much.

5. Music Orchestra for Wii Music
(Dreamgear)
This just makes our heads hurt, actually.

4. Bass Pro Shops Fishing Pole Peripheral
(Griffin International, fall 2009)
In order to bring a realistic fishing experience to consoles,Griffin International decided that we needed controllers shaped likefishing poles. And just like in real-life, if you cast too vigorouslywith people nearby, there’s a chance that your big catch of the daymight be someone’s nostril. Also, there’s no strap on this one to keepyour pole in place — casters, take caution.

3. Wii 8-in-1 Weapons Bundle
(Dragon)
OK, seriously? This bundle of Wii peripherals includescontroller attachments in the shapes of swords, knives, axes, guns and,thankfully, a shield. Anyone who doesn’t cringe just a little bit whenthey look at this should switch to playing Tetris for a while.

2. Project Natal
(Microsoft, release TBD)
Project Natal isn’t close to being released, but we can alreadyenvision all the injurious possibilities the advanced motion controllerwill present. Microsoft made fun of Wii’s “pre-canned waggle gestures”at E3, but at least you don’t run all around the room using theWiimote. Natal seems like it will let players exert themselves in allsorts of ways, asking them to flail their limbs in different directionsfor certain games. Nintendo decided to sell a protective plastic condomthat fits over the Wiimote; what will Microsoft make us wear whenplaying Natal?

1. The Wii Car-Lighter Adapter
(Dragon)
Gaming in vehicles shouldn’t be restricted to handheld devices. Whynot bring your whole Wii? With the Wii car-lighter adapter, you can setup your console in the car, allowing passengers to play games on theroad. Because we’re sure swinging Wii remotes won’t be a distraction towhoever’s driving. Hell, why not live even more dangerously and bringalong the Wii bowling ball?

Billions stolen in online robbery: Eve Online in Business and Industry in Gaming, Media, Web, IT and Computing
Space trading game Eve Online has suffered a virtual version of the credit crunch.
Oneof the game's biggest financial institutions lost a significant chunkof its deposits as a huge theft started a run on the bank.
One of the bank's controllers stole about 200bn kredits and swapped them for real world cash of £3,115.
As news of the theft spread, many of the bank's customers rushed to remove their virtual cash.
<!-- E SF -->
Space scandal
Thetheft from EBank took place in early June but only now have detailsemerged about the amount of money stolen and why it was taken.
Thetheft was carried out by EBank's chief executive, a player known asRicdic, now known to be a 27-year-old Australian who works in thetechnology industry. His full identity has not been revealed save thathis first name is Richard.
The stolen kredits amounted to 8% of the 2.6tn that Ebank had in its virtual vaults.
"Basicallythis character was one of the people who had been running EBank for awhile. He took a bunch of (virtual) money out of the bank, and tradedit away for real money," Ned Coker, of Icelandic company CCP which runsEve, told the Reuters news agency.
Eve Online has about 300,000players all of whom inhabit the same online universe. The game revolvesaround trade, mining asteroids and the efforts of differentplayer-controlled corporations to take control of swathes of virtualspace.
It has now emerged that Ricdic used the cash to put down a deposit on a house and to pay medical bills.
"I'mnot proud of it at all, that's why I didn't brag about it," Ricdic toldReuters. "But you know, if I had to do it again, I probably would'vechosen the same path based on the same situation."
Ricdic has now been thrown out of the game as trading in-game cash for real money is against Eve Online's terms and conditions.
Therules governing play within Eve would not have sanctioned Ricdic if hehad simply stolen the cash and used it in the game, nor if he hadbought kredits with real dollars.
The scandal is not the firstto play out in Eve Online. In early 2009 one of the game's biggestcorporations, called Band of Brothers, was brought down by industrialespionage.

Macbook Pro Glossy screens suck hard in Apple
http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/multi_page.asp?cid=7-9320-9876



" At the time, Apple was beginning the transition to LED backlights in its laptop line, and what we found was the display was incrementally better than the company's previous offerings in this size and offered a decent platform for assessing and doing basic adjusting of pictures in the field. "


I cried a little when the glossy screens came out. because as you read on the once fantastic matte screens have now been replaced by these craptastic glossy screens. Sadly a company that rarely bent to what consumers thought looked cool has done so & now the real end users for a macbook pro have to suffer.

Is Palm copying Apple's iPhone design? in Entertainment, Film and Music, Mobile devices and media
Okay first of if your making a touch device there are only so many things you can do to interact with the device. If your going to start this then you could say that apple ripped of minority report & so on & so forth.
Palm have a solid idea & could make a nice alternative to the iPhone, the keyboard is the winning factor for me at the moment. However the interface needs to be perfect, giving the level of polish the iphone has. The last thing palm needs is to follow the blackberry storm or lg prada.

On a tangent what is it with hacks & jobs. Apple is not jobs. It takes more than one person to make a product. The company will survive without him. If you took jobs out of apple the only thing that would fall over would be jobs.

New Canon Powershot design! in Entertainment, Film and Music, Mobile devices and media
After a year of duty, the PowerShot A470 is finally withdrawing from the retail market. In its stead, Canon has announced the 10 megapixel A480. It's 25% smaller than its predecessor and features a 3.3x optical zoom (up to 4x digital), 2.5-inch LCD screen, and a DIGIC III processor. The company is also touting a simplified button scheme and a choice of four colors to match your fashion tastes: red, blue, black, and silver. No definitive word on a US release, but Europeans can look forward to these in February for around £129.00 (US$188).


Thoughts? Do you like the design? Like the old one better?
Hate Powershots in general?

Is Palm copying Apple's iPhone design? in Entertainment, Film and Music, Mobile devices and media
In case you missed the keynote, Palm took some special moments to let everyone know that they're not trying to compete with Apple -- which is of course exactly what they're doing with the Pre and webOS. Sure, there's plenty of room in the market for multiple operating systems and manufacturers, as both companies have pointed out, but we can't help but think that Palm took a long hard look at where Apple was at with its ultra-successful mobile OS and what they could improve upon, and we would like to assume that Apple is looking very carefully at webOS right now (and hopefully the Pre's physical keyboard, but we're dreamers) and comparing it with its current iPhone OS. So, if you'll indulge us, let's look at a few of the iPhone's existing shortcomings that Apple might try and shore up -- or perhaps already has fixes in the works for -- now that there's some very serious competition on the scene. Plus, with Steve on the sidelines, we can imagine there's some extra pressure on the company to prove that innovation at Apple is not just about one man.


They look very similar, do you think the design was stolen?

Apple iPohone or Palm?

Palm Pre Launch CES 2009 in Entertainment, Film and Music, Mobile devices and media
From Engadget.com

When Palm launched its Prelast week at CES, we were both blown away and pretty overwhelmed.Besides issuing new hardware, the company also demoed a completelyoriginal operating system called webOSwhich incorporates some pretty heady ideas about what a mobile phonecan do. Now that we've had a little time to step back, we're taking amore methodic look at the device and its software, and hoping to answersome of those nagging questions you've been asking. Read on for a lookat everything we know about the phone right now.

Based on the review by Engadget and others it looks like Palm may have a sliver of hope for its survival.

Do you think they have enough Intellectual Property in the "Pre" to make someone like RIM or MS want to buy them for the technology?
