Apple’s iPhone - Battle for the Zune Microsoft Cruxer - All things in a small phone!

The Mac/tech web has been all about the iPhone over the last few days. First it was the hype and exuberance of the new device, then people started to think about the limited information Jobs presented and speculate about the reality of the iPhone — what it is, what it isn’t. For some, this resulted in a pretty dramatic reversal of their opinion on the iPhone; others simply listed some concerns about the device that really were requests for more information rather than some sort of judgment.

We won’t know until June what the iPhone really is. We might see some real-world reviews beforehand, and from there we can start getting a feel for how good (or immature) this device really is.

Phil Schiller demos the iPhone for CBS’ John Blackstone, and it is impressive, especially when you see how well Apple nailed the user interface goals. The GUI and navigation aspects are simply amazing, and the phone seems quite responsive despite all the eye-candy. There’s cross-fading, real-time zooming, and incredibly smooth scrolling. As the iPhone line matures and diversifies, Apple is going to sell millions of these things

de`Ubuntu 6.10 Released

The Ubuntu home page has been updated to reflect the new release. The Ubuntu download page still shows Ubuntu 6.06 but hopefully that will change later. I’m getting on really well with Drapper Drake and now use it exclusively. I’ve got all my devices working fine. Hopefully when I upgrade to 6.10 I won’t suffer any issues with these devices no longer working.and a big thanks to FOSS community.

Brief Features of Ubuntu 6.10…
Tomboy note taking application, Firefox 2 - nice to see this addition to the release
Appearance of bootup screen nice but it appears no faster than Ubuntu 6.06
Applications like Kino video editor, Google Picasa, XSane image scanner, NVIDIA control panel
F-Spot Photo Manager - A bit like Google Picasa, although not as slick, it allows you to organize your photos and upload to services like Flickr.
