Sometimes what looks weird can also be insanely beautiful and admirable. This wooden iPod speaker bag designed by Japanese artist Yoshihiko Satoh fits into that group of weird beautiful things. Desirable and nice to own kinda stuff.
This accessory isn't totally for music but more for carrying things around in a stylish way with music accompanying you all the way. You shouldn't be surprised if people glare at you rocking all the way with this innovative wooden bag hanging from your hand.
The design is said to be pretty simple to ensure ease of use. You can see the speaker placed in Read More...
iPod burning in a pant pocket, decolorization of new white iPhone 3GS due to overheating were not cooked stories. Everything that is beautiful and handy have their bad sides too. Apple has acknowledged that overheating your iPhone 3GS or iPhone 3G is risky. You need to take good care of it (the same way you look after your mumbling toddler.)
Apple says iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS is ideal for use where the temperature is between 0º and 35ºC (32º to 95º F). Lower or higher temperature conditions can either shorten the battery life or make the device stop working properly Read More...
I use to think it is only muggers who would be willing enough to pin you down, smack you and finally run away with your iPhone, iPod touch, iPod etc. My presumption was wrong, iPhone and iPod owners can harass you for stealing their device both out of anger and love. You would even be water boarded.
Something very similar to this happened in Queenstown recently. 21-year-old Amanda Weaver found her iPod missing among other things after 22-year-old Ivy Lockwood stayed at her Queenstown home.
Ivy was the prime suspect of the theft, so Amanda called Lockwood home and an argument started. Read More...
The past few days I've been thinking what Apple would likely to do to keep Palm Pre out of iTunes. For now, the Pre is reported to be sitting so comfortably on iTunes. Thanks to Rubenstein's magic.
Apple is not likely to watch there as a mute spectator though. The first instinctive guess here is Apple would block iTunes access to the Palm Pre in future software updates. The how part is what we all don't know yet.
It's worth looking at what Palm has done to make the Pre act like Apple products. According to Johansen, the iPod had a specific Read More...
Here is another iPhone game I should say is dumb, but fun in some way. It's a peeing game meant for children and surprisingly it's one of the top free games in the App Store right now.
The rule of and gameplay is simple. There is a monkey dangerously perched on a slippery soap bar and is sliding from left to right; he is peeing at the same time. This monkey is suffering from some chronic disorder and he can't stop peeing. You are to make the pee go into the toilet seat without letting it spill on the toilet floor.

I am telling you again that I love my iPhone but really hate the battery. If only I had the choice to use Nokia battery on the iPhone I won't have any complain with this Jesus phone. All those extra juice backup chargers aren't cheap and I am never tempted to buy one. However, here is one offer from Buy.com that is about to change my mind.
Energizer Energi To Go Battery Charger is a backup charger that can be used for charging the iPhone (both first gen and the 3G) and almost all iPods. The product is super sleek, which Read More...
Long time back I spoiled my first generation iPhone when I dropped it into a stream; the screen broke and water got into the device. I shook that Apple baby like crazy, but it won't simply start up and there was no more warranty on the device. It became a personal museum piece. Apple devices are not water proof, however it seems they are snow resistant according to one exciting write up I read here the other day.
Andrew Robulack wrote that he found an iPod buried in snow near Takhini School few days back. The device probably had been lying Read More...
Waiting for quarter earning reports is never fun, especially Apple. The guys out there have the talent to beat around the bush and make you doze off. This time it was a bit different. Nancy just gave a brief introduction and Oppenheimer took over and jumped directly to the report.
Here is the nutshell of the second quarter earning report. A positive report of course was expected though.
Apple's second quarter sales brought a grand total revenue of $8.16 billion accounting for a net profit of $1.21 billion profit to the company.
Among the products that make Apple revenue boost are the Read More...

Apple's App Store as a software distribution platform has made Smartphone makers realize that it is an ideal distribution system of all times. App Store has made life easy for both the users and the distributors of applications. We've heard that other companies are planning to launch the likes of App Store for distributing applications for their mobile devices.
Google, RIM, Palm, etc have plans to launch a platform for hosting applications for their devices. For Nokia, the arrangement to launch their App Store seems to be real and near. There is strong indication that Nokia would probably announce the launch Read More...
Apple has announced that Mark Papermaster would start work as Senior Vice President of Devices Hardware Engineering starting April 24, 2009. Papermaster was recruited in October 2008 to replace Tony Fadell who resigned as the iPod and iPhone division chief for personal reasons.
Papermaster joined Apple in November 2008, however, but he was asked to cease work with Apple according to the direction of US Federal District Judge Kenneth Karras. He was asked to cease work in view of a lawsuit filed by IBM stating the former IBM employee violates the non-competitive agreement by joining Apple.
Papermaster had argued that Apple and Read More...
