When I installed the iOS 4 on my iPhone 3G it was actually faster than previous versions. After a while though, it became unresponsive just like in this video. The title mention that it is a parody but I don’t think it is really funny when you experience it. I would have preferred Apple to just tell me that I can’t upgrade to iOS 4 because now I know all the features that I would be missing and I don’t want to downgrade either. That’s not cool. Fortunately, the iPhone 4 is coming July 30. I wanted to get a new one before experiencing that but nevertheless now I can’t pass this to my wife.

A lot of noise has been made about 2 old interviews with Steve Jobs at the All Things Digital Conference “D”. I personally took the time to watch them and here are some interesting insights.

D1 (2003)

4:52 – You couldn’t really do a music store on it (Talking about the iPod)

6:14 – 3 primary markets: Consumer, Creative, Education

7:56 – No plans at the current time to make a tablet.

9:26 – We think the tablet will fail (with handwriting)

12:41 – Mossberg: So are you working with Nokia and Motorola? Jobs: Yes, absolutely

13:01 – Mossberg: Calendar and the address book are terrible (in cellphones). Jobs: I know but they are improving at a fairly rapid rate right now.

D2  (2004)

5:18 – Music companies makes more money when we sell a 99 cents song then they do when they sell a CD

- End note

An interesting bit is that the subjects discussed during the conference are still of actuality today.

That is where we are heading!

As a Mac fan, I am a bit disappointed, it looks gorgeous but there are some caveats here. Don’t get me wrong, I would love to buy this thing but I don’t need it now. I also just watched the video and it looks amazing and some of the apps are astonishing on the iPad. Here is my list of pros and cons.

Cons:

1. The name - Let’s starts the jokes… iPad Thai!
2. iPad Keyboard dock - I already own an Apple Bluetooth Kb… sucks to buy another crap. Apparently, it works with Bluetooth KB devices
3. No camera – What? I want to use Skype on this “screamer”, as Steve Jobs said.
4. Optional 3G – Yep, Nooo way would I pay a $130 premium and another $30 when I already have a device with a data plan.

Pros:

1. No Flash – I’m happy my iPhone is Flash-free
2. Bezel – Because we need to hold you somehow
3. No multitasking – Because we don’t really multi- tasks anyway. (But we need notifications, though)

Missing:

1. Notifications – Nobody is mentioning this anywhere… so I don’t know

MadTV – Say no more!
