Status bar changes when a phone call is in progress - Apps can either handle it or the entire app gets pushed down. I noticed that I can't see the full screenshot anymore on my 4S (need to scroll to see the whole thing) in the new app store app det…

I've been waiting for this feature for a long time - we'd resorted to sharing a single iCloud account across the family, but now we can just each create shared streams and subscribe to each other's. Now we can each have our own iCloud account. In …

The LTE yearly plan is amazing. I have absolutely no idea how Amazon is going to foot that bill, or how they got AT

I've long since said that EasyPay, Paypal and the like are going to disrupt retail. I think the secret sauce here is that Walmart already requires all their suppliers to RFID their pallets. Next up: RFID tagging for all items. All you nee…

If we're talking SKUs, Amazon could add 6 models of Kindle Fire quite easily just with a variation of 3/4G option, color and storage sizes.

The real story is that, for AT&T, the iPhone is too successful. People don't buy AT&T anymore, they buy the iPhone (in large part), and the power and profits are shifting to Apple... sure they make more money, but they're desperate to regai…

All of them (aside from the ones from Ahnold and Eric Schmidt) are really heartfelt. The one from Obama said it most clearly to me.

So THAT's why the cables are so expensive and have powerful connector-chips built-in. The thing they're not saying is that current Tbolt cards are still only 4 or 2 lane PCI-e, it would take more lanes to increase the throughput.

I am much more interested in a dedicated hotspot (esp. if it's 4G). An internet hotspot device which allows access for your phone, tablet, ereader, and spouse/kids devices as well is looking like it's worth the monthly.

For those engineers hired by Apple: congrats, and hope the commute is shorter for you. For the thousands of layed-off talent in the bay area, it's still a sucky hiring market out there.

A lot of the critique is actually high praise... if you compare this device to Android tablets like the Xoom or Galaxy 10.1. The battery life is probably on-par, the WebOS is much better than Honeycomb, and 300 apps? that's like 3x as many as wh…

I did enterprise sync (synchronizing subsets of databases for "mobile" apps back in the 90s when mobile meant untethered laptop). Sync and conflict resolution are really hard and customers generally don't understand the complexities and compromis…
