Geek Force Utterz #022 - TVs by Apple
At the conclusion of yesterday’s NH Media Makers meeting, the last few stragglers got around to talking about this week’s Apple notebook event. One of the rumors that came up was one that I hadn’t heard in a long time (the Apple rumor mill is cyclical, and you’ve almost always heard a rumor before; it’s just a matter of whether or not you’ve heard it lately). And that rumor was the rumor that Apple might soon be releasing a TV set with a built-in Apple TV. Today’s episode of Geek Force Utterz is about my reaction to that discussion.
If you can’t see/hear the embed above (which includes an amusing mumbling of my standard introduction), remember that you can always listen to this call directly on Utterli.com.
3G iPhone Arrives June 9?!?
Maybe it’s a good thing that I haven’t yet found the money for an iPhone. Mac Rumors, Electronista, and The Unofficial Apple Weblog are all reporting on a rumor originally posted by Gizmodo that says Apple’s new 3G iPhone will be available on or soon after the WWDC Keynote on June 9. The first-generation iPhone is no longer available via Apple’s Website and is in short supply at retail outlets across the country. Many other signs in recent weeks have pointed to the imminent release of a new model, but Gizmodo is the first to claim that at June 9 launch has been “confirmed”.
I’ve been living with a third-generation iPod for four years now, and the thing is doing its best not to give up the ghost, but its time may be almost up. It regularly forgets that it has battery power nowadays, resetting itself at random intervals, and it refuses to play podcasts or high-quality audio files at all. If I had the money a couple of weeks ago, I would have bought an iPhone straight away. But now I’m glad that things have worked out the way that they have. I might be positioned just right to be one of the first to get his hands on the new device, instead of one of the last to pick up the old and out-of-date one. That would be a new experience for me—I bought my iMac last year two months or so before the newer, slicker version came out—and a most welcome one, to boot.
