Next Awesome iPhone App!

by Iron Wil

Recently we have seen a shift in Apple’s products, a shift that many, including myself see as preparing for a new product that will blow our minds.  One that we [read Apple FanBoys] will want to run out and buy that same day or buy after spending half the day refreshing the Apple Store site.  I will be honest, I want a 13″ Unibody . . can’t afford it right now; but when I can  . . .

So, whether the tablet device looks like any of these [Prediction 1, Prediction 2, and My Fav!] or not; we won’t know until we actually see it.  I think that Steve will present it at an Apple event after his return.  I can see it a 10″ touch Screen running OS X: iPhone with more power and functionality.  With this, I see a new version of iWork for the handhelds.  A lighter version that will meet the needs of an ultra-mobile user, simplicity in function like we have seen.  Think, the ability to edit fresh shot video on the iPhone 3GS concept, but adapted for other applications.

I don’t know what I am more excited about; the new product or the future apps that will blow our minds.  Personally, the TomTom add-on for the iPhone ROCKS!  I look forward to seeing that work and in using it!  Apple, is still on the bleeding edge.  Products that innovate, that make you say “WOW!”.  I have to be honest, no other company is there, they are not designing with users in mind.  I just don’t believe that for a minute.  The corporate user maybe; but not likely.

Okay, the New App, would have to be iWork integration for the iPhone and “MacBook Touch”.  I can picture it and how it would work; but that is why the will have to release iWork for PCs.  I also would not be surprised to see iLife for PCs too; which I wrote about in August 2007.  It just makes sense to slowly convert people, like they have been doing for years!!!  It will get to the point where people with buy a Mac because they have everything but the hardware.  It will just be why buy all this when I can spend the extra on the hardware and get great support and functionality all in one purchase.

The EU Boarded by Pirates!

by Iron Wil

“Sweden’s Pirate Party won a seat in the European Union Parliament, swept in Sunday amid outrage over a new copyright law and the convictions of the four founders of The Pirate Bay.

The party, formed to protest copyright law, took 7.1 percent of votes in Sweden and one of that country’s 18 seats in the European Parliament.  The party stands for radical reform of copyright legislation, abolition
of the patent system and guaranteed online-privacy rights.”
