What a Lie about an iPhone

Say it ain't so. I am shocked and stunned that some retailer would tell a lie about an iPhone.

Right after the iPhone came out I was looking at upgrading my phone. Now I did end up with the Palm Treo 680.

But a retailer told me all kinds of lies about an iPhone to get me to buy a blackberry (aka crackberry).

Amazon Kindle

The Kindle seems like a great device. People are asking about the same dumb questions and whineing about it.

Let me try to answer some of the questions.

PDF - no it does not support PDF. There is a workaround with mobi creator
Back light - no back light
$400 - yes it is $400 - I am not 100% sure it is overpriced
EvDo (3G) Network - grrrr . yes it is required and as far as I can tell there is no wireless workaround or slower method.
USB - load your books via USB instead of wireless
DRM - yes it does and yes it sucks

IT is not a real computer . . . please remember that. It is an eink reader.

The Treo 680 in TV

I have noted that the Treo 680 is showing up in a variety of Television Shows.

So far Law and Order: Criminal Intent has a Treo 680 on the floor at the start of episode of two.


CSI: New York, has a Treo shown prominently.


I wonder if these are shown because of the iPhone being so popular. And it is well known that Apple does not pay to have the product shown.

Have a happy day.

Guitar Picts II

Here is the second one for this guitar for sale

Guitar for sale

This is for a gutar for sale on ebay I though this would be the easiest way to show the picts

Is iTunes Really Better?

You would think that having iTunes would be better than CD. With iTunes Music Store I can buy what I want. I do not have to buy a whole CD. I will confess I bought my share of whole CDs.

I like getting the free short films fromhttp://www2.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gif iTunes Music Store. I recently downloaded Hotel Chevalier and there is a song called, Where Do You Go To. I happen to like this song and would like to purchase the song.

However, guess what . . . as of the writing of this post, you can only buy the whole album. That is right, only the whole album.

Come on Apple, let's do this right.

More Free Stuff on iTunes

It is time for televising to start on the new new seasons and of course, iTunes is there.

This year on iTunes, Fox is offering many series premieres and season premieres on iTunes for free. Yes that is right . . . FREE.

IF you think you may want them, you best log on to iTunes quickly and get them quickly. These free episodes usually do not hang around for long.
