Today was the big day. I’ve been anxiously waiting all week. Yesterday the big announcement came: at 5:30am (PST) Apple new iPad would go on sale (for pre-order, arrives by April 3). I was up by 5:20. Paced in front of the computer and at 5:29 sure enough the store opened with a shiny new [...]

This is very cool! Google just added bike paths and bicycle directions to Google Maps! Currently, the directions are available for 150 cities. To enable it, click on the More button lurking up by the Traffic, Satellite and Terrain buttons in the upper right corner of the Google map. It’s been a solid week on the road for Chuck and me. We’ve been traveling since last Sunday, and got home late yesterday. We spent five days in Yuba City where Chuck was doing some training, then headed down to visit friends in Vacaville, then yesterday we went to San Francisco to check out MacWorld [...] I viewed/read the Gizmodo liveblog of the Apple event this morning announcing the (ta-da!) iPad. Now that the wait is over (well, for the announcement, at least – you’ll have to wait 60 days for the device to start shipping), it’s oddly, well, if not disappointing then not quite as magical as Steve Jobs claimed, [...] My inner Apple fangirl is about to burst out and take control of my body for the next 12 hours or so in anticipation of the big announcement coming from Apple tomorrow. Will it be a tablet? Will it be under $500? Will it be able to walk on water (okay, probably not that…)? I [...] AT&T will launch MMS for iPhone service on Sep 25!! Yippee!! Read all about it here. The bad news: not available for first generation iPhones. The good news: an excellent reason to upgrade! Apple announced the new iPhone 3GS this week, and good little Apple fangirl that I am, it made my heart go pitterpat. But once my heart rate returned to normal, reality set in (well, actually reality in the form of a $399 upgrade cost) and I decided to really take a look at what I’d [...] The camera on the iPhone is pretty weak in anything other than daylight, let’s be honest. No flash, 2.0 megapixels – it’s okay but good luck with the night shots. Want to beef it up? Try Night Camera. It works its magic by utilizing the accelerometer. And it’s only 99 cents! If you want to [...] I have read throughout the campaign and election that President-elect Obama is a CrackBerry addict. Well, for anybody who loves their BlackBerry, or iPhone, or Treo here’s the latest horrifying news: he can’t use it once he takes office! Yep, they’re taking it away from him. lt seems that our little friends lack the proper [...] iBreviary: a new app for the iPhone, straight from the Vatican! It’s free, and offers prayers and stuff in Italian and English. This totally would make up for the fact that I downloaded Pull My Finger, right? |
