iDevice 1.0

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

Here is a quick rundown of what an Apple iDevice will (might) be like. I’ve been an Apple watcher for years and never been surprised by what they do and don’t release.

First off release date, its quite obvious that the release of any iDevice won’t be at this years WWDC. We haven’t seen the rash of rumours (or chatter) that accompany any new Apple release. A September/October time-frame is more likely, ready for the holidays.

The look ‘n feel, is almost more important to Fanboys then price, battery or even if it exists at all. CNET are suggesting a 7-8 inch screen, thats just wrong. 10-12 inches is the sweet spot.

How To: Growl and Twitter

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

THIS POST HAS BEEN SUPERSEDED BY Twitter + Growl = Trowel v1.0

 

OK, so I’m new to Twitter. I didn’t (don’t) get it. Who wants to know what I’m doing? Well as I keep telling myself thats not the point. The point is to spread information, I had a lot of fun on Election night tweeting away about the coverage and calling states (I was surprisingly accurate).

The one thing that did annoy me was it added another website to check – not just a lunch but a refresh every 5 minutes. Something had to be done. (more…)
