Another iPod killer rumor

Another iPod killer rumor 05/28/2004 10:46 AM

What has it been now a couple of years since the original iPod was released and people are still running around saying that there is going to be this device or that device that will knock the iPod off it's pedestal. Some company can only hope they get that lucky. Slashdot has the latest rumor and until a product is seen and tested all this talk is just vaporware. [Slashdot ]

HP's iPod Killer To Be... The iPod


HP's iPod Killer To Be... The iPod 01/08/2004 08:41 PM
While everyone else is scrambling around trying to design an iPod killer, the folks over at HP figured why bother? They've gone and licensed the technology directly from Apple and will start selling their own branded version of the iPod - complete with iTunes. This is a bit surprising, because you'd expect HP to just sign up for a Microsoft-supported product instead. Still, any bets on whether or not this device will be called the HPod?

Not only will it be too bulky to easily carry around with you, I also don't... (466 words)

$50 Microsoft iPod Killer? Feh!! 05/28/2004 09:39 AM
Microsoft is apparently preparing to battle the iPod. Not satisfied with decimating the Macintosh with undercut pricing (and, admittedly, a more sound distribution model) Microsoft wants the iPod to have a more Apple-like 5 percent market-share. But will it work? Yes, and no.

Yes, because there is a significant percentage of people out there who simply don't appreciate the stunning combination of design, technology, and usability that is Apple. These people appreciate a cheap price, languish in the familiarity of all things Microsoft, and don't appreciate good design.

The Wall Street Journal's technology columnist, Walter Mossberg, t akes a look at Sony's new 20GB Network Walkman NW-HD1, the first Walkman portable music device to feature a hard drive (subscription required to read the article). Already dubbed an "iPod killer" by some industry wags, the Walkman fails to impress Mossberg on several points, including "confusing" user interface, "tedious" song-loading process that took more than two hours to transfer 416 songs, and less robust companion music download service that also sports more restrictive rules than the iTunes Music store. "The iPod wins this round, and remains champion," said Mossberg.

Killer Mobiles for Killer Apps


Killer Mobiles for Killer Apps 02/01/2005 08:35 PM

Continuing my series on mobile platforms, I now think killer mobile apps need mobile devices designed like game consoles, meaning that it has one or two slots for application cartridges.  Each cartridge contains one or more applications.  Cellphones would come with a built-in cartridge containing the phone app as well as others.

Adding a cartridge adds new apps.  Applications have two modes: running and stopped.  The Next-App button (aka Appy button) activates (brings to front) each running apps in turn.  Some apps can activate itself when an event fires (phone call received).  To see the list of available apps, keep the Next-App button pressed for a second.

Eventually, app cartridges will be advance to become platform cartridges, taking over the full functionality of the mobile device to offer better application platform services than the one that came with the device (i.e. easy to use app download service that auto-configures apps for your device).  If you don't like the built-in calender, just stop it and run a third-party calendar instead.

There is word afoot that SP-2 does something we wouldn’t like. Although Microsoft insists that it’s a security measure, SP-2 is said to limit the number of TCP/IP open connections.

Yep- they open multiple TCP/IP pipes to one or more Internet locations and download your files in what seems like…

Many of these items have been rumored for the Saga line in the past, and there's a good mix of new/rehashed toys. As always, nothing is official yet, although I can confirm at least one item on the list...and no, I'm telling which one.

In related news, Apple is also secretly working on successors to the PowerBook, iBook, Power Mac, and iMac. Some will have modest upgrades, while others will be more "exciting." Apple intends to release new versions some time in the future, on a date which we have yet to be confirm. :-)
