Apple has some not so nice things to say about the netbooks on the market today. On the point about keyboard (yesterday's earnings call), I'd have to agree. As for the rest, I'm not so sure. LED screens. The Atom chips aren't bad considering they run Leopard just fine. But I do understand where Apple is coming from on this. The netbooks feel cheap. The keyboards are small, even for me. And from MSI Wind (MacWind) to HP, Sony, and EEE PC, the plastics are just flimsy and you truly do get what you paid for. I never bought Apple's argument that if folks want a netbook equivalent from Apple, they should go with the iPhone or iPod Touch. Here, we know that it's merely smoke screen. I don't know if anyone really bought it. But do buy what they say about Apple having ideas about the netbook market and they're watching it closely. And these ideas have been cooking at Apple for a while now and we should see the end results pretty soon. The netbooks r...

I knew this was going to be a big issue when I first saw it on CNet but I have a feeling that by this time tomorrow, we'll see Apple, iPhone, and Baby Shaker on Fox News by tomorrow morning or at least one of the morning shows. What's this about? I've got it here at Onxo . Simply put, it's an app that allows the user who is moronic enough to buy it shake their iPhone until the virtual baby stops crying. Suffice to say, it's not in the app store any longer. But it really brings to attention Apple's app approval process. More importantly, this brings to the attention of the shaken baby syndrome . 15% Of infant deaths are due to SDS. There are more facts that you should also know about. If you want to know more about why we're giving Apple hell, please visit National Center on Shaken Baby Syndrome and Sarah Jane Brain Project . And we're not the only ones outraged. Here are others: Onxo ABC News MSNBC Washington Times Bloomberg MacDailyNews TechCr...

That's right. How do I know this? Well, I don't but apparently, ATT believes that to be the case. I'm rooting for Palm to stay alive but I won't judge until you mobile warriors have a go at it. I don't trust paid bloggers or media reviewers with agendas. So, ATT has release a comparison document between the iPhone and the Pre. So, Apple folks, what do you think? Personally, there are valid points but some are kind of weak like the Wi-Fi. Nothing about MobileMe, iPhone 3.0, or integration with OS X. You know where I'm going with this. But ATT's chart is pretty lame. Where do I start? QWERTY keyboard. Why talk about something you don't have? Limited WiFi. Dude, please, guys. Folks aren't going to stop buying Pre's because they can't have access to the Starbucks hotspots. No roaming and stuff. It's a consumer phone. But it's apoint. So you see, not a very good chart. Let's try this: Access to millions of songs on iTunes. ...

We're winding down April of 2009. Boy, the year has gone by fast. 6 more months until Halloween (I missed last year's decorations), 7 till Thanksgiving, and 8 till Christmas (I also missed this year's decoration). And if tradition holds, it'll be about 5-6 months until Apple give the Macbook and the iPod lines a major upgrade. So what's a mobile fan to do? Buy iPods. Hold on the iPhones. Buy on all of the Apple laptops if you need one today or on the next couple of weeks. However, if you don't need one right away, and you're interested in either the Macbook, Macbook, 15" Macbook Pro, or Macbook Air, hold until May or June when Apple is likely to provide minor changes to those Macbooks to keep the interest high. The 17" Macbook Pro isn't like to receive any profound changes. We might see a speed bump but that's about it. Sales appear to be strong. However, if there are changes, this is what we'll likely see: minor speed bump...

Over at Onxo, we wrote a letter to all top game developers on what they should do to bring games over to mobile devices like the iPhone and iPod Touch. Take a look and we love to hear how else we can entice Sega, EA, and others to ramp up rich and sophisticated games that are still the domain of the DS and PSP. Link: Onxo - Dear Game Developers
