Ipod Touch / Iphone

[postjack]

As far as case/headphone problems, I have never really understand the mania over iphone cases. I've always kept mine nude. Sure it gets scuffed up, but I decided early on I'd treat my iphone like a tool. Its a tough little device.

so what is awesome about the above is this week I drop the iphone and start having "stuck button" issues with my standby button. Meaning it can get stuck and send the iphone into a continuous turn on/shut down loop. I had the same thing happen with my down volume button a few months ago, and it has slowly gotten worse. Meaning it will turn my ringer all the way down or turn my call volume all the way down.

So my iphone is slowly approaching unusability.

It looks like ATT has made some moves to improve 3G coverage in NYC and SF.

One more thing the iPhone fixes in my life.

[Dusty Chalk]

Auto-Tune my Life.

I would leave that on all the time.

As a vocal instructor, I should be vehemently opposed to anything associated with auto-tune...but I have to admit that is pretty dope:palm:

[recstar24]

backstabber.

The current-gen iPod Touches just got a nice price cut ahead of the launch of the new ones. The 32GB is $120 off at $279.

Press event about to start. Look like it could be a real snore.

Hey, app management on iPhone. Took a while, but that's nearly enough for me.

Live from Apple's 'It's only rock and roll' event

new itunes actually looks kind of cool.

[n_maher]

Home sharing sounds pretty decent too. Makes me want a mac mini for the living room even more.

[The Monkey]

^agreed re the Mac Mini. I also want a MacBook.

[The Monkey]

heh, Apple just took a shot at MS by claiming 73% of the DAP market to MS's 1.1%. Not exactly the approach I would take with reinvigorated antitrust regulators in DC. Arrogance like that gets folks in trouble.

Favorite shot of presentation so far...

[The Monkey]

apple isn't using a monopoly in one field to create a monopoly in another field, so i'm unsure how they could run afoul of antitrust laws.

'reks, I think it's arguable that a lot of Apple's behavior with respect to its music devices and iTunes is anticompetitive and raises antitrust concerns. And those are pretty well documented. But my concern would be more prospective. If Apple is considering new acquisitions/JVs/etc., then market share is a real issue. Bottom line: I don't see much upside to trumpeting market share that publicly. And I see lots of risk.

Damn, 64GB Touch.

damn $400

So I just got an 8GB 3G iPhone today. Bad timing?

I also just downloaded iTunes. Is this the cool new version?

[blessingx]

If it's 9.0. Otherwise do an update. It's out.

[VPI]

I guess my three week old 32gb Touch will need to be replaced now so people don't laugh at me on the subway.

[grawk]

That would make a great present to the host of danjam

[Dusty Chalk]

They're not laughing at you, those are the voices in your head.

[mirumu]

No mention of screen improvements in the touch which disappoints me. There was never any suggestion there would be, but I still had some hope. The faster CPU/GPU and larger capacity is welcome though.

Rhapsody App now out...

... and it streams at 64 kbps (not sure the codec).

Rhapsody App approved by Apple: 8 million tracks streaming to the ether (update: video!)

After a small bit of fuckery I am all systems go w/ the iPhone & iTunes.

Was surprised that I could not make any mp3 into a ringtone but I found a program that will so all good. Found some cool apps already. Was very pleasantly surprised with the SQ. Not bad at all.

I am considering calling the dude @ the AT&T store to see if I can trade up to the 3Gs today.
