Filed under: Cellphones, Handhelds, Portable Audio, Wireless Fresh off an extensive corporate decaffeination downsizing and a scaling back of its foray into music sales, it's a fair question to ask: just how ironclad is Starbucks' commitment to rolling out iTunes WiFi Music Store integration across its entire chain? We just happened to notice that the Starbucks page on Apple's site is now stone-cold gone, redirecting to the standard iTunes 8 stuff. You might say "no ...

This week, At Bat has dropped in price from $4.99US to $2.99US.It's on sale because it will "expire" when the current season ends (Go, Sox!), meaning you'll have to purchase ...

Filed under: Portable Audio, Portable Video Hope you don't mind two similar worlds running together, because today we're asking about not one, but two of Cupertino's latest. The iPod touch 2G and iPod nano 4G were both simultaneously (give or take a few minutes) announced back in early September, and after getting a chance to handle both, we felt that Apple did a stand-up job with the each of 'em. That being said, there's always ...

Filed under: Software, iPhone, iPod touchForbes is reporting that the iPhone has become the country's top eBook reader. The claim is based upon the number of downloads of Stanza [App Store link], an ebook reader for the iPhone and iPod touch (395,000 and counting), versus the number of projected US Kindle sales (380,000). For those unfamiliar with Stanza, it's a free application that lets users download books over the air, as does the Kindle. All ...

Filed under: Software, iPhone, iPod touchThere's a great article at Treehugger on saving money with your iPhone. Specifically, they explore four categories: automotive, travel, energy consumption and green shopping.Applications like iGas, which helps you find cheap fueling stations, and GasHog, which measures fuel efficiency, are listed. However, what's interesting to me aren't applications. PrimoSpot lets New Yorkers (Manhattan and Brooklyn only) find available parking spots, even identifying parking meters that are about to expire.

Even so, Apple's market share continues to prosper, according to Register Hardware. Their site is reporting that Apple's market share is now 35% if you look at revenue garnered -- largely due to notebook sales.

Filed under: ポータブルプレーヤ, 携帯電話, アップル アップルがiPhone開発者に対するNDA (non-disclosure agreement, 非開示契約)の一部取り下げを発表しました。アップルのiPhone Developer Programは形式的な審査とごくわずかな費用で参加できること、App Storeを介した配布・課金システムが完備されていること、なによりもiPhone / iPod touchプラットフォームの魅力から多数の開発者を引きつけることに成功していますが、従来はやたらと厳しいNDAのおかげでiPhoneソフトウェア開発に参加した途端無口になる開発者が続出するといった問題もありました。今回の方針変更はすでにリリースされたiPhoneソフトウェアに関してNDAを取り下げるというもの。告知ではiPhoneの技術を守り他者に食い物にされないため保護が必要だったとしつつ、iPhoneの成功に協力する側の開発者や執筆者ほかにとってNDAが重荷となっていた場合を認め「リリースされたソフトウェアについては」取り下げるとしています。ライバルと目されるGoogleのAndroidがプラットフォーム全体のオープンソース戦略を強調し開発者コミュニティの力を重視しているのに対して、とりあえず全部口封じ式のNDAは害のほうが多いとようやく気付いたようです。Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

The devices, both set along an evolutionary (rather than revolutionary) path have certainly been nipped, tucked, and updated -- but we wanted to know if they'd been improved at all. For the nano, we've seen some iteration of the same device ...
