First post from iPod Touch

By Scott ⋅ September 30, 2007 ⋅ One comment

This is my first post to this blog from an iPod Touch. Amazingly the keyboard is remarkably usable. Apple have taken a few obvious tweaks from Blackberry such as auto-capitalising the first letter in a new sentence and adding a full stop when you enter two spaces at the end of a sentence.

By Scott ⋅ September 25, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Only a few days ago Apple unexpectedly changed the estimated delivery date of most UK iPod Touch pre-orders to 4th-5th October after initially declaring 1st-2nd October.

Added to this there is the problem of finding the time to actually write about your chosen subject when the distraction of all the other good stuff on the net seems to pull you away from writing and into surfing. There are so many good sites chock full of interesting apps and widgets that it is easy to spend all your time downloading and trying out the latest new products.

Dual Monitor Support Arrives For Parallels

When this new feature was first launched I was pretty disappointed to discover that Windows apps could [...]
