I was surprised to find out the Apple stores started to sell them before September 28th. I called the Victoria Gardens and Brea location and they were sold out. Finally found on in the Manhattan Beach location. So I rushed over there with a co-worker so that we can jump on the carpool lane. 25 minutes and $432 later, I got my new iPod touch. That’s solves my “should I buy an iPhone” question. No iPhone for me thanks. I’ll play with it over the weekend and do a review soon.
I knew this was coming. It’s an iPhone without the AT&T service. I’m so tempted to get me and Abby one. This will replace her dusty, new Palm T|X. My biggest gripe is the 16GB max capacity. Since it’s using flash memory, I guess that’s the largest at this time. Flash memory is the reason…
Apple recently released 10.5.3 update for Leopard. One of the updates I’m excited about is the ability to sync Address Book with Google and Yahoo!. If you want to set up a sync with Yahoo!, view this page http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/addressbook/autosync/autosync-20.html.

I finally couldn’t stand the heat generated by my Macbook Pro. I downloaded CoreDuoTemp to monitor the temperature. I was getting an average of 147°F when it either idles or low load (web surfing, iTunes playing, FTP, or just coding some apps). But when I play World of Warcraft, I noticed it get as high…
I’ve been hoping for this collaboration to happen and it finally did. Google is starting to embrace Apple OS X. If you visit http://google.com/mac.html you will find some applications that will run on your Mac. Apps like Google Earth, Google Notifier, etc. The story can be read herehttp://www.macrumors.com/pages/2006/10/20061010090147.shtml and here http://googlemac.blogspot.com/.
I recently jailbroke my iPhone 3G running OS 3.1.2. Then I installed MyWi to check out the tethering capabilities for the iPhone. With this app you can tether using USB, bluetooth and wifi. Here is the speed test results. The latency is pretty high but the connection seems consistent. I used to run a Verizon…
