ipad launched by steve jobs
Oops, he did it again. Steve Jobs has the world going into a tizzy over his latest creation, the iPad. Millions are at the Apple altar, waiting for the latest offering. There will be the usual queues of people waiting in the cold and rain, pushing, pulling, manipulating to be among the first to get the gadget. Jobs can’t help himself. He just goes on creating. It’s in his DNA.
The world now accepts the revolutions brought about by his inventions of iPods, iPhones and eMacs. But the actual revolution was really his first invention which was the Macintosh in 1984, which was an extension of the Lisa and the Apple 2c of 1979. That revolution went by unheralded and unnoticed. Jobs was even removed years later from the Apple company he founded.
But a creator never rests. Jobs arose as the proverbial phoenix and took the company to dizzying heights.
Some critics are unable to understand or fathom Job’s genius. They attribute his success to his penchant for secrecy and the nearly theatrical manner in which each new invention is revealed. Yet, they miss out on the real reasons for Steve Job’s success.
Samsung Galaxy i7500 to hit O2 stores next week?
If a report from the hit or miss Register Hardware blog pan out, Samsung’s highly anticipated freshman Android offering could make its debut as soon as next week. According to the post, various O2 retail staff have confirmed that the Galaxy i7500 is now listed in their inventory system and shipments will arrive next week. That’s not to say the phone will launch next week but if retail locations actually do receive these alleged shipments, we can certainly expect a launch shortly thereafter. O2 would not confirm the Register’s report, saying only that the handset would launch “in the next few weeks”. We’ve been waiting for the i7500 ever since we
All 12 megapixels of Sony Ericsson’s Satio get poked and prodded by the FCC
Mmmmmmm, Satio. If Symbian is your thing, it pretty much doesn’t get any better than this forthcoming beast from Sony Ericsson. Hell, even if Symbian isn’t your thing, you still have to respect this monster of a handset. While the ever-mysterious Xperia X3 (aka Rachael) still sits at the top of our list of Sony Ericsson kit we need ASAP, the Satio comes in at a close second. Why? If you weren’t paying attention
Samsung releases list of countries slated for August launch of the Omnia II; US not included
This morning, Samsung announced the list of countries that are slated to get the Omnia II in August. Missing from the list is the United States and other major markets including the UK, France and Germany. Pretty odd, considering we know Best Buy is (or was) slated to score it later this month. We’re guessing: 1) Something was delayed. 2) BBYM will get shipments on the 23rd but the handset won’t be available for sale until early September. 3) Samsung just can’t mention the US yet as there has been no official announcement with AT&T. The
Facebook 3.0 submitted to the App Store
It’s time to whip out your rosary/tallit/tasbih/whatever and start praying like you’ve never prayed before. That’s right folks, Facebook 3.0 has just been submitted to the App Store. We’re not insinuating that we believe one of Apple’s App Store approval monkeys will roll his or her icosahedral die and have it settle on “deny the app without cause just for the hell of it” (actually, we are), but we just can’t stand waiting another day for the fifteen new features Facebook 3.0 has in tow. Hit the jump for the complete change log.
Thanks, Tony!
