I just loaded up MacRumors and saw a post claiming that an Apple PDA is in the works. My first thought was “No f*@%ing way!”. And I mean that literally; not in a “that would be so cool” kind of way, but rather as in “after the release of the iPhone that would [...]
More and more of my friends are picking up iPhones. The latest convert is Cory. My dad thinks it is only a matter of time before I join the club/cult. I have to admit, there are some things that continue to tempt me about the iPhone. Still, I just don’t see [...]
On July 31, 2006 I wrote Why Apple Will Release a Cell Phone to share my thoughts for the business case behind what we now know as the iPhone. (At the time there was a fair amount of people saying that the cellular market was not a market Apple would want to enter). [...]

I have a cellular internet card that I use in my MacBook Pro (thanks work!). If I wanted to (not sure about the terms of use), I could turn my laptop into a wireless access point. OSX makes this trivial to do. It is just:

The other phone makers are going to have to step up their game in the US. If they want to compete with Cingular and the iPhone, they are going to have to bring their best phones to the US as fast as they can. Sprint and [...]
I don’t think I know a single person who is going to get an iPhone tomorrow. I know some people who would like to but feel it is cost prohibitive. I know some people who want to wait for a later generation iPhone with the kinks worked out. I know lots of [...]

Why would Apple release Safari for Windows? James Robertson has an interesting idea:
All by itself, Safari for Windows makes little sense. However, as a port test for Cocoa and Apple’s libraries, it makes a lot of sense.
