So recent iOS hardware and software faux pas now read: Antennagate Glass Shattering and/or fragility Withdrawl of Slide on Cases Proximity Sensor Bug (which personally has forced me to return 2 iPhone4s) Poor performance of iOS 4 on iPhone 3G…

Hmm. We're two weeks away from submitting a (fairly substantial) app to the Store. We HAD Airprint enabled - but now wondering whether to remove it. Should we include a button in our App's UI that might not work?

AND, even though the exchange rate is currently $1AU = $1US, it's on sale outright here for $999!! http://www.harveynorman.com.au/produ...ung-galaxy-tab

Gizmodo's review is pretty damning, calling the Tab a "...train wreck. The Tab is like a compromise's evil twin, merging the worst of a tablet and the worst of a phone." http://gizmodo.com/5686161/samsung-g...le-train-wreck Which seems to back…

Even though the resolution may be similar on the proposed smaller 7" tablets, remember that the iPad's 9.7" display is an optimum size to view one sheet of a standard A4 document. 7" might be too small for older eyes. My suspicion is that for produc…

It is important for iPads to be physically located in stores near to competitive devices (not just tablets but competitive in the sense of 'for your Xmas holiday spending'). There is a big market of buyers who won't venture into an Apple Store. i…

Market Share is only one factor in success. Mind Share is another. Here in Australia, where the iPhone has always been available on the 4 main carriers - Telstra, Optus, 3 and Vodafone - the iPhone 4 continues to be sold out and new buyers are being…

There certainly seems to be a lot of suspicious apps at the moment, like "visual tips" for $119.99 or "Mos Super Killer" for $114.99. Neither of which seem to do anything. The (c) credit suggests a Chinese author. The developer is listed as "ZZZ" an…

John Gruber lists the people affected by Apple's decision to change section 331 in his excellent "Daring Fireball": http://daringfireball.net/2010/04/wh...ed_section_331 - but there are other users affected by this decision not in his list... …

Any information on the specific hardware and software chosen? Is it Apple developed or third party?

Or how about: PC: "Hi Mac. I'm just trying my new cheaper Windows 7. It's cheaper than Vista." MAC: "Oh cool. Is it cheaper than XP?" PC: "It's cheaper than Vista" Closing screen shows the price of the SL UG v W7 UG

It will be interesting to see the scripts for new "I'm a Mac" Ads - comparing Snow Leopard and Win 7. I expect the angle will be along the lines of PC Guy being proud of all the Vista code that has been removed - for only $120 upgrade, compared to M…

i.e. the iTablet becomes the MacBook (consumption), versus the MacBook Pro, as in Pro-duction.

To dominate the consumer electronics, Apple needs 3 product categories; Pocket, Couch, Desk. Apple already has sewn up the mid-to-premium markets in Pocket and Desk with the iPhone/iPod Touch and iMac/Macbook/Pro respectively. Therefore a device sim…

Snow Leopard could be Apple's most important version of OS X. If we assume, for a moment, that the future of (domestic) computing is a landscape made up of iPhone-OS X style touch based device(s) and Android Netbooks, then Snow Leopard could well be…

If the concept of 'total cost of ownership' was more widely understood, then ads such as these would not gain traction. Does the valuation include the free-with-purchase iLife application suite? The whole premise is as pointless as an ad about tryin…
