iTunes 10.0.1 ajoute plusieurs fonctions tel qu’une bande verticale consacré à Ping qui permet de suivre les dernières nouvelles. De plus, il est maintenant possible d’ajouter des chansons ou artistes dans nos favoris même si nous n’avons pas acheté le ou les titres sur iTunes.
Skype on Android and BlackBerry is exclusive to Verizon.
I totally agree with this statement from John Gruber
It is a good example of how Android is open, though. In many ways, its openness is from the perspective of the carriers. The carriers can (and do) take Android and modify the default UI appearance. They add new un-deletable system apps. And they can make exclusive deals like this one with Skype.
Like my father would say: “Power to the user”
Technologies should serve the population, not big corporation.
I would say the same about Apple and AT&T exclusivity deal. These deals should be prohibited by the FCC because users can’t use newer and better technologies if they don’t switch carriers. Sometimes it is impossible to switch (because of service area) and imagine this, as a customer, if I’m not happy with the service, I would expect that I can choose my provider. Because as a customer my only weapon againts these big corporation is my “monthly vote” but when there are no options, companies tend to let customer service get behind and get lazy.
Competition is good, competition is required.
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.

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.
