An Apple Surprise!

Posted by Jim as Apple, News, Portable Media Players, iPod

A tale of two worlds:

The guy who woke up, opened the Apple website (a cult member no less):

“I knew it! I knew it! It was worth the wait. (motions to do the macarena geeky dance). Where’s my plastic? Oh there you are! Come here you… come here you… aahhhh…. let’s go to the apple store you and I. (winks at his card, and hippity-hops out the door). From a distance, he shouts ‘I LOVE YOU STEVE JOBS!’ “.

Now the guy who woke up, opened the Apple website (a high ranking cult member, an early adopter definitely):”Noooooooo!!! Why did you do it! I trusted you… (and in an eeny meeny voice) I loved you! (squeeky whimper). Whyyyyy!!!

Back to reality:News news news. Apple doubles the capacity of the iPod touch and the iPhone. The phone, again, comes in two new variants. The 8GB iPhone sells for $399, while the new 16GB iPhone sells for $499. The iPod Touch out now with three variants, the 8GB iPod Touch sells for $299, the 16GB sells for $399 and the 32GB for $499.Now both products seem to still carry the same form factor, but the Steve-o promises of Macworld 2008 is now in these babies. For more information, check out the apple.com page right now.

The CrunchPad is dead. Now what?

It’s dead, Jim.

And now, news of the CrunchPad’s demise has reached the blogosphere (twice-over, I must say), we’re here to examine the post-mortem. It was an ambitious project: an internet tablet meant to sell cheap. Everybody was waiting for it with bated breath, but it never came.

Sony reveals PlayStation Move

I have to admit, my mind is officially blown. Sony finally revealed its new PlayStation 3 motion controller at GDC 2010 in San Francisco, and boy is it looking good.
