The genius behind Apple's App Store

Peter Timpone — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 12:23:22 -0400

Is Apple's App store just a good way to make additional revenue or has Apple taken a page from Google here?

When you think about it with every downloaded app from the store, free or not, Apple has just gotten another glimpse of what you are using your iphone and ipod touch for.

Now the big question now is will Steve use that data to determine the direction he will take the next iphone.

What about Me?

The most frustrating thing about Apple's newly introduced "mobileme" service is that it seems I can’t create an alias return address with my own domain name. Yes, I can forward all of my other email addresses to my me.com address, but if I reply using the me.com service I must use my me.com email identity.

At best, it's not obvious how to use my own email address if I want to.

Amazon Now Supplying "On Demand"

Rip Empson — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 15:48:27 -0400

Yesterday, Amazon introduced its new on-demand, online store for movies and TV shows, called “Amazon Video on Demand.” Supposedly, Amazon’s new repository will operate much like a cable-on-demand service, offering customers access to more than 40,000 titles in streaming digital video.

The Overwhelming and Unfounded Anticipation for the iPhone

Kevin Ohannessian — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 11:28:17 -0400

The iPhone, just as the iPod before it, has become the latest gadget-du-jour. As a gadget-nut I trolled the gadget blogs the weeks leading up to the Jobs keynote and then I trolled the blogs the weeks before the release. In these anticipatory days every little detail has been a revelation, every hands-on preview one more sermon to convince us that this gadget is the second-coming. That this one, not all the others before it, is the one that will make our lives better and give us something meaningful.
