Those of us who are “old” enough to have been part of the Internet bubble a few years back are most certainly recognizing a lot of the signs of another bubble…as such the only question is: When will the crash follow?

I went to the Apple Store in London (Regent Street Store) tonight after work to pick up my copy of the new OS as soon as it became available..and also maybe to get a free T-shirt. The store closed at 16h00, I guess mainly to allow them to upgrade all of the machines at display [...]

One of the features missing on the iPhone is GPS. I was used to have it on the Nokia N95, and although I didn’t use it very often, it came in handy a few times. Well, the iPhone has Assisted GPS since today. Well, sort of. When checking for new application within the installer, [...]

The announcement of the $200 price drop on the 8Gig iPhone did not only cause positive reactions. A lot of the early adopters weren’t too happy to see such a huge drop in Price after only two months. What made it worse, was a comment from Steve Jobs in an interview: “Q: What do you [...]
Plenty of new iPods
Looks like all of the different rumours were true. And my prediction weren’t really wrong either, but then again, I guess a lot of the stuff was kind of predictable, although it was a surprise that really nearly all of the different rumours were correct this time. – iPod shuffle “Product red, and other new [...]

Anyway, as Wil announced on the latest TWiT podcast that he is in [...]

Assisted GPS on the Nokia N95
Nokia recently released another Firmware update for the Nokia N95. One of the major new features is Assisted GPS (A-GPS).

Finally…what to do with your iPhone
Too much hype around the iPhone these days. In my very personal opinion, it is a nice piece of technology, but there are simply too many features missing…3G/HSDPA, GPS, replaceable battery, memory card slot, no possibilities to customise/install applications… As such, here is finally a interesting use of the iPhone. Just kidding. But anyway, I [...]

MultiTouch Displays have been around for quite some time now, but none was actually really available in a commercial product.The first commercial product to actually have a MultiTouch display/interface will be the iPhone, but Microsoft has now announced their own range of MultTouch devices, and I have to say that they look very impressive!
