Today I played with the iPhone for about an hour in the store. In person it’s better than anything you’ve read. I don’t understand how Apple got the phone to be so “snappy” (aka. responsive). You can switch tasks, watch videos, scroll around on a website, all without any lag. It’s amazing for a phone. I’ve used Sony, Nokia, Blackberry, Palm, and LG phones. None which come close to matching the iPhone’s responsiveness and overall aesthetics. My current E62 takes 5+ seconds whenever I click on a application, and the multimedia features are about useless.

It’s really like going from Windows 3.1 from 1994 to Apple’s OSX in 2007. They both have “windows”, let you use multiple applications at the same time, both have calculators, and both let you type Word documents – but once you get past the list of features and actually use it – it’s obviously a world of difference.

The one thing that was holding me back from getting an iPhone was the lack of corporate email support, but after playing with it today, that seems minor…

Today’s the day… The app l spend the most time in (besides good old Firefox) has turned universal. PhotoShop CS3 is here.

I’ve posted some screenshots on my flickr account. So far so good, it’s faster – has some nice UI changes, and it’s faster. Did I mention it’s faster? My MacBook Pro is loving it!

My .mac is up for renewal and I’m not going to renew this year. I just received this email:

Thank you for being a member of .Mac! Your .Mac membership is set to renew on October 07, 2006 PDT; however, the credit card information you provided when you joined .Mac may now be invalid or out-of-date. Please check your credit card information in your Account Settings to update it (if you want to renew) or to remove it and uncheck auto-renew (if you do not). We appreciate your attention to this matter.

Now the problem with this is you can’t remove you’re credit card info (like the email says) – and if you can’t remove your credit card info, because then the form won’t validate – you can’t un-check auto-renew either.

So here’s me trying to un-check the auto-renew option…

My Google services in Gmail just got a little longer. What’s next? Word Processor? Files Storage? Media Center? Google, what would I do without you?

Apple just released the new MacBooks, and in a new color too – black!

What do you get when you put up to 2GHz of pure Intel Core Duo power, an iSight camera, Front Row, iLife ’06, and a 13-inch glossy widescreen display into a sleek case? More than you thought possible for less than you thought possible. Meet MacBook, starting at $1099.

Looks like a sweet little laptop. I may be selling my 17inch here shortly!
