Why the Motorola iTunes Phone Sucks

iPodGarage’s Bill Palmer wrote an excellent dissection of exactly what we were talking about when the joint Motorola/Apple announcement came up. I just knew that this wasn’t Apple’s style at all and Palmer puts it all down in black and white, even adding his own conjecture on future iTunes phone designs and the future of…

Apple II Emulator for the PSP

I’m just going to post this up and not comment too much. PSP haxors have ported an Apple II emulator to the handheld, which means, I suppose, you can play Oregon Trail on the bus (“Wolves have eaten your mother!”). I posit that the number of possible PSP ports is infinite. I leave the proof…

Apple Responds to Busted Nano Owners

So after all the hoopla over iPod Nano screens cracking for some people, Apple was kind enough to respond. Summed up, it’s pretty much: Dear Valued Customer, Hahahahaha.

Mac mini Updated

Mac mini got the hook up recently from Apple as it was upgraded here and there. There are some new tiny upgrades such as the boot ROM version, but the main thing is the jump from 1.42ghz to 1.5ghz. You can also get an 8x dual-layer superdrive now which is pretty nice. Lastly, you get…

DAP Delights for September 27

Today’s DAP Headlines: A day without nano news hardly counts as a day, right?. Today we’ve got our official iPod nano review ready for reading (Verdict: small and nice), and on the flip side, we’ve uncovered the worst iPod accessory ever made (Verdict: very bad, duh).

RAZR to Covet Motorola’s iTunes relationship

Now that the ROKR is out and about, Motorola is planning on putting Apple’s iTunes on its next gen RAZR phone, now nicknamed the RAZR2. Apart from improved noise-canceling and a cool feature called “airplane mode” that lets you listen to your songs without the cell phone completely turned on, expect a larger LCD and…

Apple Integrating iSight Into Laptops?

A newly published patent filing reveals that Apple has been toying with ways to integrate a video cam into the latch of a laptop since 2004. And the company considered the idea again as recently as last year. Which means an iSight integrated PowerBook could arrive sooner rather than later considering that Apple has made…

iPod nano Altoids Case

Altoids needs to take a hint from the electronics industry and drop the mint idea completely. If they just sold their tins, in the exact same physical form as they are now, but as cases, they could make kajillions. Since the Apple website is back-ordered for weeks on nano cases, some people have taken the…

DAP Delights for September 15

Today’s DAP headlines: JVC wants to join the game – their 6GB Alneo XA-HD500 doesn’t really make too much of an impression, though. A bit more baffling are the final specifications for Digital Cube’s i-Station V.43, which seems capable of doing anything but recording videos. Sony is up to something with their new Walkman series…

Pimp out your brand new iPod Nano with the Griffin Tunebox for the iPod Shuffle.

The nano News and ROKR Re-up

There has been lots of news, rumor and speculation since the ROKR and nano were released last week. Instead of posting dribs and drabs about how hard it is to access the ROKR sim card or the algorithm for determining the weight-offset of the nano when placed inside a pocket protector (took me all darn…

The Big nano Update

The nano has already been dissembled and now hacked. It sounds like the nano does not mod as easily as its predecessors. But instructions on how to changes the text, font and graphics looks easy enough. [Make] Samsung has raised the ire of everyone else in the NAND flash marketplace because they offered such a…

The ROKR Re-up

When Motorola says 100 songs, they mean it. It turns out that ROKR prevents you from adding more than 100 tunes, even if you are using less than the 512MB of space available (pity all the punk rockers who listen to 3 minute Ramones songs). [Dave’s iPaq] The iTunes interface is clunky. Nothing wrong with…

The Motorola ROKR E1 is here. And it’s the image we’ve been seeing for months. I liked the fake iPhone images better—how about you?
