Who is more surprised?
Me because someone is reading this? Or you because I have written something?
Just a note to tell you I’m updating / changing the site today, with a goal to start actually using it in 2010.
The new URL will just be 360mac.com – no /blog. There is also be a new RSS feed from feedburner.
So if you get this – you won’t get anymore. Please come by and visit in the new year to pick up the new details.
Hippy 2010.
March 17th, 2009 — Apple, Developers, Predictions, iPhone, tablet
There is nothing like hitting Publish on a post to unlock a flood of new ideas. Lets add a couple more to the list:
(this is the Wu Method of naming everything you and everyone else can think of, analysts get paid big bucks for this)
One More Thing…
Support for larger sized screen – 7 or 10 inch – for Apple Tablet product to be released in September / October (with next iPod rev). If Apple plans to release something like this in 09 – this will be the occasion for developers to be told about it so they can.. develop.
Oh. And if Voice Play is announced – that one was mine too.
UPDATE: The silly section.
March 17th, 2009 — Apple, Predictions, iPhone, xcode
Apple have announced an event to discuss what they are working on in the next version of software for the iPhone – iPhone 3.0. It’s going to be held March 17 US time – in about 17 hours from now. So time for a few quick predictions.
My SHUT UP List (just do it to shut everyone up)
I’d be VERY surprised if all of these (except maybe video) wasn’t included. And seriously – after 3 revs of the software – people can rightly feel pissed if they aren’t.
Improvements to existing stuff
There are a lot of little improvements Apple could make to existing Apps.
NEW Features for iPhone 3.0
It will be interesting to see how many ideas Apple takes from Apps selling in the App Store. Yes it will suck for the developer, but you can’t use that as an excuse not to improve the OS. Not like they haven’t done it before with Mac OSX (Spaces, Dashboard etc)
June 10th, 2008 — Predictions, WWDC, iPhone
During Phil Schiller’s presentation of the new Mobile Me at WWDC 08, he made a couple of Faux Par’s.
OK, the “Active Stink” one was pretty funny. Gotta believe thats a little inside joke at Apple and one that’s going to stick pretty well.
Hell – if the name fits…. Active Sync sucks.
But a few minutes later I think he really slipped up – and no one else seems to have noticed.
To Quote:
Phil Schiller: 1:08:30 “Mobile Me stores your information up in the cloud. So you can get to it from anywhere, using any of your devices. Using a Mac, happen to use a PC, and most importantly, use one of our great new devices like an iPhone…”
LIKE an iPhone ?? What else is there Uncle Phil? (Yes I know there is the Touch but I’m pretty sure thats not what he meant)
New devices coming soon from Apple once the 3G frenzy wears off? See you in August / September.
June 10th, 2008 — iPhone
Been looking at the iPhone page for Maps with GPS feature.
Will this replace my “proper” existing GPS (a Road Angel 6000)?
It seems obvious that it should – but I don’t see the same perspective view that I am used to with a GPS in a car.
I guess the much bigger screen and the zooming functions with the Google Maps would make up for it – might even be better.
Anyone used an iPhone as a GPS before? Put your experiences in Comments.
