Maybe you’ve heard of ill-fated Microsoft iLoo. Well, someone took at Atech took that idea and ran with it, like they were afraid someone would take it away from them. Anyone want to make bets whether they made a profit on this one? Can we dream for a ‘works with iPhone’ sticker on this must-have accessory? [via camarochris]
If you like rumors, we have two. Well, one, really. I think the speculation stems from the patents recently granted to Apple, but I think it’s fun to see the two different views that stem from it.
Huh, another article about Steve Jobs’ brilliance. He invented the GUI in 1984 and the digital era of publishing with iTunes just a few years ago, and they say he’s going to three-peat his previous two performances with the iPhone. I may as well publish it, after all, it’s 100% correct, and it’s a well-written piece at the Economist. Also, Boom! Another one. [via]
One of the things that Jobs really was intent on talking about throughout the D5 conference is what happens to computers and gadgets in what he called the Post-PC era. That’s not to say that the PC, as in personal computer, is going away. Far from it; it’s still necessary to function as a media center, digital hub, or media entertainment center. All of those gadgets in your drawer, they have to sync to something.
Walt Mossberg’s All Things Digital, aka D5, has posted video of the Gates and Jobs fireside chat. It’s unfortunately in 9 chunks of FLV; there’s no stream, no MOV or WMV that you can download of the entire event. That shouldn’t stop you, however, as the chat is excellent. Jobs and Gates are relaxed, affable, and make jokes throughout, and it’s frankly great to watch both of them. They talk openly about the mobile space, where “post-pc era devices” (Jobs’ term for devices like Zunes, iPods, GPS, and other catch-all convergence or divergence devices) are headed. It’s an investment of time — roughly an hour — worth its weight in gold.
One of the best parts, for me, is that Jobs confirmed they’re still working on 3rd party applications for the iPhone, how to do it right; how to do it without making the device crash twice a day. A more in-depth article should follow this afternoon or evening.
In any regard, D5 has posted a highlight reel, but I’d personally recommend just watching the individual flash videos. Read on for the links.
Read the rest of this entry »I’m a big Lost fan. I was introduced to the series by my wife; we watched the season finale yesterday with a group of friends as we always do (no spoilers). We both enjoy the show. It’s my favorite show on major networks. I’m a Lost fan.
So, when I found out that one of my favorite mobile game companies Gameloft converted their great-looking Lost for mobile phones to the Lost iPod game (iTunes link), I had to try it. Right then and there, goodbye $5. So the question remains, how was it?

The iPhone Blog merged with the Phone different site in May of 2008. Both sites were founded on a premise that comes one from one of Apple's old slogans: Think different. The iPhone Blog: for people who dare to phone different.
