Prediction Fail

Its safe to say, my prediction on the Verizon event was completely wrong. Verizon announced the iPhone4 for their network today. So, will you be switching? Personally, I’m going to be waiting a bit since I just upgraded to the iPhone4 when it was announced. When the wife and I get closer to our contracts, I have a feeling that I will be a Verizon customer. Hopefully LTE will be out by then in Des Moines.

Windows 7 Failure?

In fact, preliminary data released overnight Sunday by Net Applications show Mac OS X’s Internet share growing by 2.

AppStore – Happy Birthday!

Wow, the app store is only one. Seems like it should be older with 50,000 apps in the store. Impressive work Apple! Apple has put together a special link to celebrate some of the top apps of the past year. Speaking of iPhone Apps… stay tuned for an announcement in the next week concerning a side project that I have been working on. We have some big plans in the works.

WWDC Predictions Follow UP

Nice! 2. iPhone 3.0 will be released with availability right away for iPhones. Once again iTouches will get the $20-$30 shaft.
