App Store - Software Reloaded
There are lots
and lots of blogs dedicated entirely to trying to
predict Apple's next move, and a fair chunk of them
cite inside and anonymous sources.
We don't. Everything you see here is pure speculation based on conversation over coffee. That said, our coffee driven conversation has come up with some gems!
This is no exception - way back in October 2007 we posted this - Fast forward to July 2008 and we see the launch of Apple's App Store, Super Software indeed.

Multi-Touch Mac - Oops, you missed the point!

The input device
for the next-gen computer isn't a mouse or keyboard and
it sure isn't a stylus. Apple made that particular
point pretty clear (Steve Jobs: 'yuuukch') with the
iPhone and the first practical use of multi-touch in an
every day device.
At this years All Things Digital there was no sign of the Apple CEO, but the impact of the iPhone was still clear as the day it was released - with Microsoft, doing a 'super excited' demo of Multi-Touch in Windows 7 which managed to get the iPhone mentioned 3 times.
How high has the bar been set? Did Microsoft come out punching?

iPhone - Orphan, no longer.
A little while
ago we discussed the possibility that the iPhone may
become isolated because of Apple's original lock-in
with AT&T.
Apple's uncharacteristic public acknowledgment of the vast unlocking community and admission that a 'significant number' of iPhones have been sold for unlocking seem to back up our original speculation that isolation, not 10 million sales, was the only road the iPhone could travel if something wasn't done.
The iPhone SDK and Apple's ability to convince others that what's good for Apple is good for them has already started to turn the tide...

Review - Meraki Mini Pro
You may have
seen my previous post and thread at
MacTalk.com.au talking about Meraki and
the Free The Net campaign in San
Francisco, I really
like the idea of community driven wifi - so I took
the plunge and ordered a Meraki Mini Pro.
I whipped up a quick review for MacTalk.com.au, here is a repost or you can read the review and ensuing thread here.

Opinion - freethenet with Maraki
Usually, I'd
find the whole idea of community driven wifi
networks...well...scary, but the Meraki 'system' seems
to inspire something in people akin to the open source
software movements...just look at Firefox. It certainly
has inspired me. Although I've often been interested in
community projects, none have captured my attention
long enough or provided me with the interest needed to
devote what little spare time I have. Perhaps this
particular project is a little closer to home given the
state of the Internet in Australia and being a Mac
user...but I'll get to that shortly.
This is a repost of a thread I started on mactalk.com.au about some thoughts on 'freethenet' and Meraki...

Multi-Touch Future - There's something in the air
Since the
release of the Macbook Air, we've been shocked by the
explosion of arguments over the all new Macbook. We
take a look at the Air in a different light, rather
than review we want to look at how the Air fits into
the bigger picture.
Why is the 'Air' so important to OS X and what is so significant about Apple about bringing touch to the Mac?

Multi-Touch Mac - No hard drive and no verbs either.

Just a few days
ago Steve Jobs was interviewed
by the New York
Times after Apple announced another record-breaking
quarter.
In a much glossed over point, Jobs was quoted as saying that there are 'no verbs' in the iPhone interface, re-iterating the point he
made during the Macworld keynote about not wanting to use a stylus for input at all.
We look a little deeper and talk about just how important not having 'verbs' in Multi-Touch really is.

Multi-Touch Mac - No Hard Drive, but lots to Quick Look
at.
Recently
we wrote about the strong possibility that the
Multi-Touch Mac won't have a hard drive.
At the end of that post we described how adaption of a full-size operating system works against the success
of a tablet computing device.
Today we cover why Quick Look is just as important as the lack of a hard disk.

iPhone - The most successful orphan...ever?
We love the
iPhone.
But is it in danger of becoming an orphan? Could one of the most revolutionary mobile computing devices in decades become stuck between a battle of profits and control?
We think it might, here's why...

No Hard Drive on the Multi-Touch Mac
The Multi-Touch
Mac will set more than a few trends in mobile computing,
one of the most significant could be the lack of a traditional hard disk.
How will Apple push the hard disk out and usher in this new technology?
It's already started! Bet you didn't see it coming...

iPhone, cool? You ain't seen nothing yet...
While your distracted
with the iPhone and all new super-sleek iMac, Apple has
plans.
Can you imagine a device that has as broad a market appeal as an every day Macbook, with the sleekness of an iMac
and the ease of use invented with the iPhone?
We can!
