Google Sync

Oh my. Microsoft emailed me today to explain that they have licensed intellectual property to Google: Earlier today Google announced Google Sync , which is made possible by a patent license they obtained from Microsoft covering Google’s implementation of the Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync protocol on...

iTunes Plus upgrades go a la carte

When Apple announced that they were going fully DRM-free earlier this month, I hailed it as a good sign. In fact, with Windows 7 picking up AAC compatibility across the board, iTunes’ use of 256 Mbps non-protected AAC files suddenly makes more sense, and that service is among those offering the highest...

Macworld 2009: My iPhone dilemma revisited

So, yesterday I posted about my hopes and dream for Apple's last Macworld keynote. Consider those dreams crushed. :) That's OK. But I guess it's at least partially worth examining what did and did not happen, based on what I commented on before the show. MobileMe/data sync/iPhone improvements...

Macworld 2009: My iPhone dilemma

In about 10 minutes, Apple will keynote its last Macworld trade show. For a variety of reasons—Steve Jobs’ inadequately explained new illness, the lack of Jobs at the show, the fact that Apple is leaving after this year—this Macworld is less interesting than most. But I’m still going to be hanging on...

And the first Microsoft iPhone app is .. Windows Live? Hotmail? Office? umm… Not quite

It was a question of “when” and not “if,” but Microsoft has finally released its first and long-awaited iPhone application. In the bad news department, it’s nothing mainstream at all and is, instead, sort of skunkworks research project instead of a major, tier-one application. I guess you can’t have...

Apple: Our advertising is clearly bull@#$%. Clearly.

Ah, Apple. Gizmodo points out that Apple’s defense to the recent pulling of the deceptive iPhone ad in the UK prompted the following statement from everyone’s favorite company: “No reasonable person in Plaintiff's position could have reasonably relied on or misunderstood Apple's statements as...

iPhone's touch screen a short-lived fad?

So I read this New York Times article over breakfast and assumed it was going to be about how all the smart phone makers are copying the iPhone's touch screen UI, a notion I find pretty obvious. But it's actually about something a lot more interesting, and is admittedly something that hadn't...

Apple forced to drop iPhone ad in the UK

So I got a bunch of email about this this morning, and it’s certainly noteworthy. I’m an iPhone user and I have to say, I really love the device despite some obvious flaws, but it’s also about a million times better than the competition, so it’s unclear what my problem is. Anyway, in usual Apple fashion...

Please Fix The iPhone … Dot Com

The iPhone is just the most curious mix technology, and anyone who tells you it’s perfect should be immediately suspect. Some of the iPhone is laugh out loud perfect. But much of it is just deeply flawed, with no fix in sight. I love the iPhone, I hate the iPhone. It’s the ultimate Apple product, in...
