Personally I’m still unsure if I upgrade to the new iPhone, because I like to hold my phone in different ways. But the nokia article is very amusing.
“We’ve been looking around and noticed there are many ways to hold your Nokia device. Whether you’re left-handed or right-handed, there’s no shortage of ways to hold your phone.”

Today the selling of the Apple iPad started in Germany. The units are very rare in the shops, so unfortunatly not everyone can buy one. So my spontaniously idea to order or buy one direct in the nearest Apple store in Hamburg was break through unavailability of a iPad for me. So the process of analyse the need for buying and owning that device starts. Ok the same process had happened with the iPhone before I decided to bought it. The really best benefit of the iDevices is the astronomical (just a image
) mass of Apps. Anyone with reallife experience and good advices ?

For those who’re to young for an original apple bought in the shop, here is the ultimative chance to get their own one
” The replica 1 is a functional clone of the apple 1 computer created by Steve Wozniak in 1976. This was the computer that Steve Jobs and Woz used to start Apple Computers in 1976. The latest version of the replica 1 is labeled SE for Second Edition. The replica 1 functions exactly like the apple 1 with many of the same components like a 6502 CPU and 6821 PIA. It comes with 32K RAM and 8K EEPROM. Addtional features like a ps/2 port, serial, USB port, ATX and DC wall power supply connectors makes the replica 1 a fully functional computer system for todays collector or hobby builder. Available as a kit or assembled, the replica 1 is sure to give you hours of fun and excitement as you relive the glory days of computing. As a new feature, a full blown assembler called Krusader written by Ken Wessen was added to the EPROM space giving the user the ability to assembler 6502 programs right on the replica 1 without a PC. Write 6502 machine code programs using mnemonics instead of just programming hex code into the memory. This added programming tool makes the repica 1 not only a nostalgic computer but a great learning tool and introduction to microprocessors.”

Or the non-hardware alternative, the apple I emulator:
“Pom1 is an Apple 1 emulator and is being ported to C from the original Java version. It uses the Simple DirectMedia Layer library and works on most platforms”

New category for the apple iPhone and the first article. Blue ember creations shows how to “build” an iPhone grip cover for the slippery back side with only Gaffer’s Tape and a few tools. Is it possible to buy Gaffer’s Tape in white for the apple logo ?

Leider nur für Apple iBook, Powerbook und Macbook/Macbook Pro.

Nachdem mein iPhone am 30.4. per DHL ausgeliefert wurde, zwei Tage nach der Auslieferung der SIM-Karte, versuchte ich das Gerät natürlich zu aktivieren. Dies war leider nicht von Erfolg, sondern wurde mit Fehlermeldungen wie “ihr Account kann nicht verifiziert werden” oder ähnlichen quittiert.
Also im Geschäftskundencenter angerufen und das Problem geschildert, dort dann die Auskunft das dies am Freitag wieder funktionieren sollte. Also heute fleissig ausprobiert, allerdings wieder ohne Erfolg aber mit der Fehlermeldung von oben. Wieder angerufen und die Aussage bekommen das T-Mobile zusammen mit Apple mit Hochdruck daran arbeitet das das Problem behoben wird. Dauern könnte das aber durchaus bis Montag.
Etwas zu denken gab mir aber folgende Seite , wo ein ganz anderes Datum (vorraussichtlich 07.05.2008) genannt wurde. Beim ersten iPhone in unserer Firma ging das sofort, mal schauen ob das wirklich so lange dauert.
Toll finde ich in diesem Zusammenhang, das man mit dem iPhone im nicht aktivierten Zustand so wirklich nichts anfangen kann. Im Moment hält es die Zettel auf dem Schreibtisch als Briefbeschwerer zusammen.
