500 million app downloads for iPhone - Really?

Ok, so the iTunes app store has had 500 million app downloads so far! But does it really mean anything, considering that the Top app in iTunes for the iPhone and the iPod Touch is iFart, a completely useless application, that sends gaseous sounds out it's speakers. It would be more impressive if Apple promoted the iTunes app store with a press release that read, 400 million iFart downloads, and 100 million meaningful application downloads so far. Tongue in cheek, the App store has enable developers the distribution platform to reach it's users. Hopefully 2009 brings 500 Million ground breaking applications this year, oh and a iFart version 3.0.

Ipod Touch - Get's a lot more room!

It's the size the inital one should of been shipped out as!

The best thing about the Touch is watching movies on it's bigger widscreen display.. The only thing is.. movies eat up disk space!

The iPod touch just doubled in size..! You can now get a 32GB model. This is the best thing to happen, other than a 64GB model. The touch now becomes more attractive as a portable computing solution.

The biggest complaints about the Ipod Touch was that it lacked in drive space, this made almost every CONS list about it.

With the application software package upgrade and a increased HD capacity, it looks like the Touch should regain some sales momentum.

Apple also announced that the iPhone now get's a 16GB drive model as well.

                

Mac release Q1 08 stats, where are the iPhones?

When the AAPL – Apple Investors heard the news on the stats released on sales the biggest question was what happen to all the iPhones that Apple reported sold. It seems that AT&T announced that 2 million of the 4 that apple reported as sales where activated on the network. The question is? Did the other 2 million get bought to be unlocked to work on non AT&T Carriers?

Now it’s more likely that a large amount of iPhones are sitting in inventory shelves right now as the estimates are that only 20% of buyers have the intention to unlock the phone. What is worrisome is that the announcement of the 3G iPhone later this year could create a sell off on current iPhone inventory stock.

I guess this is really only a concern to the shareholders! Actually, what this means is that you’ll probably be able to find amazing deals of current iPhone technology later this year as the 3G model starts to ship. Great for the consumer! Not to mention the eBay resellers!

Is it the Apple Time Capsule or a waste of time?

It's really up to you! You might find it a waste of money. It a welcomed idea for me.

Why?
The other day, I was sitting around chatting with a friend about how I wanted to put a large external drive mounted on my electrical panel and hook it up to my wifi router to make it accessible to the laptops in my house. The day after the Macworld keynote speech we sat there and kind of snickered about how the timing of the Time Capsule announcement was so close to our conversation.

Now what makes having a wifi enabled external drive so handy, for one thing, backups! I’ve had a few near misses the last few months with losing a large amount of photos. I guess it’s the things that can’t be replaced that are so important not to lose. So the Time Capsule is here! Its two models allow you to have 500GB or 1000GB available for backing up pictures, movie clips. The things that if you lost you would never be able to replace.

I was also thinking that the time capsule will some day make a great storage option for the apple TV. Both have N wifi wireless and Apple TV now pulls from multiple data sources. This makes the extra storage handy to use as a data stream source.
Even though a data copy software will be needed for the Microsoft OS, I’m still extremely happy about this! The announcement wasn't a WOW! Factor at Macworld this year, but its still a welcome tool for many, many people.
