Recently I reported on a rumor that Apple is readying a tablet-sized iTouch for release sometime this year. With Macworld right around the corner, now’s about the time we’d expect leaks of such potential announcements to surface. If Apple really is readying an iTouch tablet device, you better put money on the fact that it will be the hottest gadget of ‘09.
Recently, many have been speculating whether or not Apple will take some of its productivity applications online to make them available to a wider group of people. But Google already has a pretty strong grip on the free Web-app market. Would Apple benefit by making a completely free, Web-based application suite like that of Google Docs?
Apple’s iMovie is a fantastic tool for all types of video creators, but its latest revamp was not only lack-luster, it actually seemed to be a step backwards in usability. However, that could all change, as a rumor floating around asserts that Apple will unveil a new and improved iMovie with a much greater scope at Macworld in January.
What’s new, right? Apple could be releasing a tablet. But in this case, there’s good word that Apple actually has developed prototypes of a tablet iPod Touch, and with the flood of games and applications to the Apps Store as of late, now could be the best time ever to make the Apple tablet a reality.
Apple is a unique company in that, at least since the turn of the century, it has achieved an almost frenzied popularity that is unmatched in the technology world. And the Internet has proven an apt speakerbox for spreading every piece of news or hint of development that involves the company. But how much of what’s called Apple “news” is more than empty rumor, and more importantly…do we care?
Steve Jobs doesn’t work for salary. But he certainly isn’t out for charity and the advancement of modern technology, either. If you had to put a price tag on what Steve Jobs does for Apple, though, what would that be?
There’s nothing worse than working really hard to become the best at or most recognized for something, only to realize that nobody cares. That’s where Apple currently stands. Though consumers are finally starting to embrace Apple computers, they certainly couldn’t do so at a worse time.
Over the weekend I was fortunate enough to get some iPhone facetime thanks to a few friends of mine (we don’t hold enough clout yet here at Blorge.com to get freebies from Apple), and I will say I was delightfully impressed with some features and downcast and disappointed with others. Below I’ll break down the pros and cons of the lovely little smartphone.
With the iPhone sleeping peacefully in stores until tomorrow’s debut, OS X Tiger winning fans long-associated with the Windows camp, and Leopard poising itself for complete domination of a currently feeble next-gen OS showing, Apple is solidifying itself as the champion of consumer hearts in all aspects of life. 2007 is quickly proving itself to be the year that Apple flexes its creative muscle and engrains itself in the hearts and minds of consumers worldwide with its powerful trifecta: the iPod, the iPhone, and OS X.
So you’ve decided you will take all necessary measures to make sure an iPhone is in your hands on Friday, right? I recently provided a method for joining AT&T and receiving almost $200 off your iPhone purchase here, but what do you do if you’re locked into your carrier?
