  • AT&T’s 2GB Cap is Costing Me Money
    A few months ago, AT&T changed its wireless data rates, essentially killing unlimited data on smartphones. That rate change has had a direct effect on the usage of my iPhone and the amount of money I'm paying each month.

  • iOS 4.1 Now Available
    The wait for iOS 4.1 is over for iPod touch and iPhone users. Apple released the update around 2PM EDT today, and you can get it now by plugging your device into iTunes and clicking the "Check for Update" button if it doesn't prompt you automatically.

  • Survey: iPhone 4 Antenna Problems, Verizon Costly for Apple
    According to a survey released by Apple watcher Gene Munster at Piper Jaffray, the antenna issues cost the company a decent amount of business over the summer. But it wasn't what hurt it the most in the U.S. That was the lack of a Verizon option.

  • Safari Update Addresses Critical Vulnerabilities
    Just released from Apple, Safari 5.0.2 addresses a few usability issues, as well as three security flaws that might get your Mac or PC pwned. Two of the three security issues affect both Safari for OS X and Windows.

  • iTunes in the Cloud and Why This Scares Me
    Our future is wireless at high speeds anywhere we'd like. This may be a decade away and if carriers make wireless data truly unlimited this will be a reality, but it scares me for a few reasons that simply can’t be fixed by technology.

  • Best Desktop iTunes Controller: iTunes
    There are many Mac applications which will sit on your desktop and display cover art as well as give some controls such as play/pause, next, etc. But since the recent release of iTunes 10, one application does this better than any other, and that's iTunes itself.

  • Apple Previews iOS 4.2, Still Syncs Like iPhone OS 1.0
    Reiterating much of the iOS presentation by Steve Jobs, the new web page adds a few details to what iOS 4.2 brings in November. As Steve Jobs said, "it's all about iPad," and that's a shame because it should be about the cloud.

  • Apple Doubles iPad Production, May Triple Soon
    The Apple iPad recently became available to ship within 24 hours for the first time since it began production in April. It looks like that might be due to a ramp up in production on the part of Apple's manufacturing partners, not a dwindling of interest.

  • iTunes 10 Interface: Where Apple Went Wrong
    Almost every year, Apple releases a new version of iTunes with some new feature. Last year it was Home Sharing. This year, it's Ping. Apple also usually tweaks the UI, many times creating a backlash. This year Apple has outdone itself.

  • Ping: A Social Network Inside a Walled Garden
    Whether by design or accident, Ping's lack of integration with other social networks, or even with the web itself, is now its most compelling feature — at least from a strategic perspective. It's essentially an e-commerce platform for music disguised as a social network.

  • iPod touch Is Close, But Still No Contract-Free iPhone
    Apple found a way to cram a large number of iPhone 4 features in the new iPod touch: retina display, two cameras with FaceTime support, and the A4 chip. So it's just like a contract-free iPhone 4 without voice right? Wrong on at least three counts.

  • Quick Tip: Make iTunes 10 Window Controls Horizontal
    iTunes 10 was released yesterday and brought with it a few UI overhauls. There currently isn't a way to bring back the colored icons in the sidebar, but there sure is a way to get the window controls back to their former positions.

  • Caught in the Wake of Apple’s Press Events
    After each Apple press event, there is a visible track of turbulence online, in the technology market and on Wall Street, and all that is left for the rest of us to decide is whether or not we will follow or get out-of-the-way.

  • Why the New Apple TV Isn’t Something I’ll Be Watching
    So is Apple TV still only a hobby for Jobs and company? Because if it isn't, then I'm missing something from yesterday's presentation. The new Apple TV is smaller, cheaper and sexier, I'll grant it that, but what else does it really have going for it?

  • Twitter App Updated for iPad
    Until now, the state of Twitter on the iPad hasn't been great. There were a few pretty good apps (I've been using Tweetdeck), but the field needed a champion. Enter the official Twitter for iPad app.

  • Twitter Launches iPad App With Focus On Consumption
    Twitter is launching the first native app it's built from scratch tonight, Twitter for iPad. Aimed at fostering content consumption, the app is designed for new users and power users alike. The iPad app indicates the direction all Twitter-designed apps will be heading

  • AirPlay: Like AirTunes, Only More So
    AirPlay was one of the most nebulous topics up for discussion at today's special press event regarding iOS, iPods, iTunes and Apple TV. In many ways, it's something we already know a lot about, since it's the successor to AirTunes. In others, it's a mystery.

  • Could Cheap iTunes Rentals Change Television Online?
    During today's press event, Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced that the iTunes store has sold 450 million TV episodes. How will its newly announced 99 cent rental program change the marketplace, especially with Hulu Plus around? It depends what's on offer.

  • Apple Updates iPod shuffle, Brings Buttons Back
    I wasn't a huge fan of the third-generation iPod shuffle. The lack of proper controls was just not my thing. Today, with the release of the fourth-generation shuffle, Apple seems to have seen the light and gone back on itself (something it doesn't do often).
