A $45.13 Amazon Kindle story with a happy ending

The Amazon Kindle world just snuck up on me and removed $45.13 from my wallet. And the experience turned out to be a pleasant surprise.
I'm not technophobic, but I honestly was planning on sitting on the sidelines for this particular...


Report: iTunes 9 to support DVD ripping, Facebook

A report filed by a tipster claiming access to iTunes 9 says that it is "possible" the next version of Apple's media player will sport both DVD import and playback as well as Facebook integration, allowing users to advertise songs and playlists with their friends.


Xbox 360 update - Games, Netflix parties, Avatar Marketplace

While Project Natal and the Xbox 360 debut of Metal Gear Solid stole the show at Microsoft's Electronic Entertainment Expo media briefing, not everything the company revealed was so far off in the future. Some of those plans are nearing fruition, as Microsoft has confirmed a handful of additions to Xbox Live.

Jailbreak and Unlock iPhone Firmware 3.0.1

Apple released the iPhone OS 3.0.1 firmware update the other day to fix an SMS security flaw. This has rendered purplera1n useless, and creator Geohot has abandoned the project for now. That being said, redsn0w from the iPhone Dev-Team still works.


Palm Pre Syncs With iTunes Again

Last week Apple sent out a software update for iTunes that stopped the Palm Pre from syncing with it. Before the update, when you plugged a Palm Pre into your computer, it appeared as an iPod to iTunes, which happily linked up and downloaded music, photos and videos. No other phone — besides the iPhone — could do that.


3 Ways to Make the PSP Go a Must-Buy

The PSP Go could finally be the iteration to face the DS – or, more specifically, the brand new DSi – head-on, but doing so beneath such a hefty price tag could prove an uphill battle. I’d imagine that, like me, many gamers will warrant some convincing to drop such coin, or Sony could just take the safer route and adjust the asking price.


Zune HD Amazon mentions apps, Xbox games

A product page for Microsoft's Zune HD portable media player has popped up on Amazon.com, offering some tantalizing new details. Aside from explicitly spelling out the link between the Zune HD and the recently announced upgrades to the Xbox Live Video Marketplace, the product description mentions the availability of "apps" for the Zune HD.

Among other announcements, the company has updated its MacBook Pro product line, launched a new version of its Safari Web browser, offered a preview of its upcoming Snow Leopard operating system, and readied iPhone 3.0 for market.

Amazon unveils Kindle Application for iPhone

NEW YORK—You may not have the latest $359 Kindle electronic book reader from Amazon.com, but if you own an iPhone or iPod Touch, a new application will let you access much of the same content on your Apple device....

Amazon Releases iPhone's Killer App

Suddenly, iPhone is a true e-book reader, and there is loads of easily accessible content. Whoa. Amazon had said the Kindle app was coming, but that wasn't even a month ago. I'm stunned to see it now—and so soon after the Kindle 2 e-book reader shipped to customers (officially, Feb....

Griffin's iTrippin' on iPod nano 4G

Apple iPod accessory makers Griffin Technology gave us the iPod's sweet music for our car and home radios back in 2006 with the introduction of the iTrip, and while the new iTrip nano does the same, it is designed to fit seamlessly with the latest 4G nano's curved and...

Ten One Design Pogo Stylus

It was one of the funniest fake-outs in a stunning product introduction: Steve Jobs unveils the iPhone, telling an excited audience that the touchscreen device is "going to use a stylus," a nod towards the conventional interface for such devices. But after a pause, he reverses course. "No," he says. "

iPhone apps of the week

When I was at Macworld a couple of weeks ago, it shouldn't come as a surprise that I had my eyes peeled for upcoming iPhone apps. Certainly the new 17-inch MacBook and the updates to iWork and iLife were at the top of my priority list, but once I started walking around the show floor, my mind quickly turned to iPhone apps...

Apple said iPod division vice president Tony Fadell and his wife, Danielle Lambert, who is vice president of the company's human resources department, are "reducing their roles" to "devote more time to their young family."...

Android G1 Jailbroken Already

It's been less than two weeks since T-Mobile's G1 hit shelves, and Android's already been jailbroken. Folks over at the xda-developers forum discovered an easy way to start telnet on the device, log in as root and get full system access and read and write. While the Googlephone is nowhere near as restricted as the iPhone, there were apparently...

Top 5 iPod features you'll never see

All signs point to a new crop of iPods in September, and while I'm as interested in the rumors and blurry "leaked" photos as the next fanboy, I'm also preparing myself for disappointment. Deep down, I know there are iPod features that will never see the light of day. Sure, Apple always trots out a few iPod-related surprises like iTunes movie rentals and Cover Flow, but I've all but given up on the following innovations...

Zune 2 family launched
