I wouldn't expect a major update any time soon. Any changes in the near term would likely be almost invisible to the user. I do think it is a little pricey, but still worth it. Wi-Fi N is here to stay for the next few years at least. While the…

Dizzy Bee is a good game, very original. There is a free version that convinced me to buy the full one. It has been compared to Pac-Man, in that there are maze-like playing fields, and you have to pick up the little flowers, and more importantly…

I hope these "luxury hotels" start treating network access as an essential. Recently, I stayed at the Hilton Anatole in Dallas, the most high-end I've been in. The room was $150 a night, but network access wasn't included. If I wanted to use th…

It seems apparent to me that a major reason for the dominance of PCs was/is customizability. In the past, a basic computer was only suitable for the most mundane tasks. People had to consider their uses, then carefully pick-and-choose the hardwa…

That's just a fact of life for technology consumers, especially in a market segment as saturated as cellphones. That said, if the iPhone interests you, now probably is a good time. An upgrade isn't likely for another year, and while there are lo…

This is a wild guess: How about a transition of the iPod line to in-dash automotive systems? Last year, there was some buzz on Apple working with Volkswagen, even making an appearance on the VW Up! Concept car. Microsoft has been working to get…

I don't see either 3G/EDGE or GPS in the Touch. First, is the cost of the 3G/EDGE data plan. The point of the iPod Touch is that the total cost of ownership is fairly low. If you'd need a data plan for an iPod Touch, you might as well have the …
