$50 Microsoft iPod Killer? Feh!!
05/28/2004 09:39 AMMicrosoft 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.

01/08/2004 08:41 PMWhile 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?

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

How to Make iPod Video Work
How to Make iPod Video Work
02/05/2005 09:12 PM
Quite simply the reason the iPod Video didn't come out is that the
only video that's copyright-free is the stuff you make in iMovie
(well, you own the copyright, so it's more of a non-issue
than copyright-free). Frankly, I know few people wanting to copy
their movies of weddings, kids, and cats onto a device to view them
elsewhere. What we want are our TV programs and DVD movies.
So Apple, to make the iPod Video work, would need a PVR app (and hardware). Then Apple can let you
create content that is free of issues (personal recording is allowed,
regardless of the 1984 world the MPAA
wants us to live in) and encode it in H.264/AVC so that it can scale down to the
iPod level well (it's also used in 3G phones, so the iPod is a
no-brainer). Set it up to record whatever you want, select "iPod" as
the recording destination and then you get a file that is as small as
it can be to give good quality on the iPod. Or choose "TV" and then
use the supplied A/V cables to view on a random TV somewhere (use
those front inputs on that TV in the break room at work!).
Do this, and the world will follow quite quickly. Make it simple,
Apple simple, and the portable media market is
Apple's. Get a foothold in music and video and the iPod will clobber
all the other devices.
It's not so crazy, and it just might work. Hell, it might kill
TiVo if done right, and I love mine as much as the next guy.

HOWTO Make high-quality recordings from

HOWTO Make high-quality recordings from
an iPod
12/30/2004 04:31 AM
Cory Doctorow:
Phillip Torrone's article on Hack-a-Day explains how to trick out your
iPod to get it to record audio
really well, bypassing the
crippling restrictions imposed by Apple:
apple cripples recording on an ipod so belkin and griffin then have to
sell us add-on devices for over $50 that can only record at 8khz,
which is all pretty shitty. apparently (the rumor is) apple does this
so people don’t use their ipods to record stuff they think we
shouldn’t, like concerts, whatever.
but don’t worry, there’s a way around it and you can record at
high quality, all for free.

Sources: Asustek to make iPod mini for
Apple
09/03/2004 08:23 AMAsustek Computer has received OEM orders for the iPod mini digital
music player from Apple Computer, according to market sources. Asustek
is the second Taiwan-based manufacturer of the digital devices since
Inventec Appliances also produces the iPod for Apple. Asustek will
assemble and ship the iPod to Apple from its plant in Suzhou, Jiangsu
Province (China), the sources said.
The iPod orders will help Asustek in working toward its goal of
becoming a key provider of consumer electronics products, the sources
noted. In related news, Inventec is expected to continue to supply
Apple with its current iPod models. In addition, Inventec is also
likely to secure orders for a similar version of the iPod from
Hewlett-Packard (HP), the sources said. Apple and HP entered into an
agreement earlier this year for HP to resell the iPod under the HP
brand.
Asustek and Inventec both declined to comment on the report, citing
client confidentiality

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.

that doesn't happen when you have an omniscient navigator. I did
manage to make a wrong — unindicated — turn, I think
because I was not used to how far away an intersection is when the
navigator says that I should turn left in 400 feet. A few seconds
after you make the wrong turn, the navigator calmly says that you are
"off course" and recalculates the route. As a result, it took me...

12/18/2002 05:02 AMRumors: Get 'em while they're hot
Rumors: Get 'em while they're hot
03/14/2005 04:23 PMWe all remember our first Mac rumor. Like our first tooth, kiss,
paycheck or car, the first time we navigated to MacRumors or
ThinkSecret or AppleInsider, and stumbled upon a tidbit that allowed
us a glimpse into Apples fortress of development.
It used to be that rumors were accurate about 50 percent of the time.
And that was half of the fun trying to decipher which parts of which
rumor were correct, inaccurate or just completely fabricated.
Raise your hand if you can remember iWalk.
In recent years, however, a few rumor sites especially ThinkSecret
have gotten a little too precise. For the most part, Apples
announcements have become a matter of formality, as the community
at-large (and often mainstream media outlets, too) have already
received, absorbed and dissected the news, leaving little else save
the decision to purchase.
You have to admit, it's kind of taken the fun out of things. I mean,
we were actually surprised when the iPod came out.
No, really, we were.
So, when Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge James P. Kleinberg
ruled Friday that "an interested public is not the same as the public
interest," part of me was eager for a return to the Apple of yore,
when a Macworld keynote was a reason to stay up all night in
anticipation.
(The other part of me was deeply afraid that journalistic integrity
and responsibility would continue to be eroded until the only source
of reporting would lie somewhere between supermarket tabloids and FOX
NEWS, filled with half-truths and barely relatable sound bytes, all
slapped under a 140-point misleading headline. But thats not the
point of this particular column.)
For the most part, I agree with Kleinberg's statement, even if the
ruling troubles me as a journalist. Apples trade secrets are, indeed,
stolen property, but it remains to be seen just how hard the company
can lean on the bloggers in question. Before the ruling, for example,
ThinkSecret published two more rumors on its site: one about iMacs and
eMacs, and one about Tiger.
So, will we return to a dry, rumorless existence? Will the fertile,
accurate soil that grows today's rumors dry up once Apple begins to
enforce its court-appointed power?
Or are we simply in store for a battle of rhetoric? Yesterdays
reports on ThinkSecret cited "well placed sources" rather than the
traditional "reliable source" we've all come to trust so readily.
We've all seen countless rumor sites come and go, and come and go
again, but never have we faced such a bitter fight for dominance.
So grab 'em while you can, because reliable rumors may soon be as hard
to find as an iPod with a FireWire cable.
Or, I suppose, an iWalk.

The freshest rumors about
PalmOne's forthcoming Tungsten read a little lot like a fairy
tale, so we won't get our hopes up just yet. Features for the T6 (or
Tungsten 2005, as the case may be) include Bluetooth, Wavelan, 1GB of
Flash memory, a 3 MP digital camera, an ethernet port, iTunes
compatibility, an initial price of about $400, Graffiti 2 Plus with
voice commands and the ability to clean your teeth while you sleep and
print money.
To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure I have enough grains of salt
to accompany this list, especially considering the hat tip from
A_Man_In_Black in #gizmodo:
The Tungstens
consciously don't include cameras, because of workplace restrictions.
A new high-end Palm with a camera would be a Zire, not a
Tungsten.
