Ars Technica is reporting that on March 6th Apple will hold a press conference where they will announce the “iPhone Software Roadmap”:
learn about the iPhone software roadmap, including the iPhone SDK and some exciting new enterprise features.
Wow, look at Apple sounding so enterprisy with words like “Roadmap”. So it’s pretty much set(as I said before) [...]

iPhone and iPod touch eye candy
Nice roundup of iPhone/touch wallpapers.
My favorite is Poolga.com which has really cool modern web art.
P.S. Helvetica is elegant. I should use it more often.

iPhone firmware 1.1.4 but no SDK
On Sunday night I said we should expect the the SDK but no consumer update. I got it….but completely opposite.
So next time I make a prediction….believe the contrary.
But trust me… the SDK won’t come out without Steve presenting it. It’s his baby!

My Guess: SDK on Tuesday, but NO Consumer Update
The end of February is imminent and most importantly iPhone update is right around the corner(or delayed a couple of weeks). So instead of repeating what every one is saying, let me list a couple of things we should expect.
-The release will be geared towards developers: don’t expect iTunes prompting you to upgrade your [...]
iPhone Pr0n!
My brother took some pics of his friend’s destroyed iPhone.
Warning: some of this pictures might offend Mac fans…proceed at your own will.
$99 Voice plan would be nice
Matt Hickey rumors about Verizon’s $99 unlimited voice plan:
Verizon is setting to offer an all-you-can-talk voice plan for $99. Word is it’s to launch on Tuesday, with ads popping up randomly on USA Today’s website, among others. This is hardly surprising as unlimited plans are the next logical step for carriers if they want to [...]
VisualHub, the essential video tool
Nice write up on VisualHub, the best video conversion tool I’ve used.
What I like about it: it is blazing fast…and:
VisualHub has become the must-have tool of choice when it comes to converting content for iTunes. Conversions can be optimized for the current selection of Apple devices. There is an option to have concerted content [...]
iPhone QuickOrder proof of concept
If you are like me, always ordering the same thing at Starbucks, you’ll find this QuickOrder proof of concept very convenient. This concept might not be so far fetched considering the iTunes-Starbucks deal and AT&T’s recent switch as Starbucks’ WiFi provider.

Blackberry’s Single Point of Failure
The really stupid thing regarding Blackberrys is their dependence on RIM to route the services through their data centers. The service is the single point of failure(spof), which incidentally the iPhone doesn’t have, since you can use pretty much use any email service(IMPA, POP3 and through the browser). You could say that the iPhone’s SPOF [...]
Max asks: What is the iPhone hype all about?
At the beginning cellphone were huge. I remeber that they were considered weapons and not allowed into high profile soccer matches. Innovation only came from new smaller form factors. After a couple of years of smaller and smaller ridiculous phone people stopped being impressed. In the early 2000 camera phone came out as means of [...]
