I upgraded my iPhone 3GS to iOS4 when it first came out two weeks ago and since then have been running into small annoyances/bugs.

Running with Toadies
While driving home from work this evening I had my iPhone on a random playlist and these two songs played back-to-back: “Pretty Fly for a Rabbi” by Weird Al Yankovic and “Possum Kingdom” by the Toadies. Ok, yes, an interesting combination but that’s to be expected in a random playlist. What caught my eye was [...]
Apple iPhone 3GS
After over 13 years of using (mostly) PalmOS and (some) Windows Mobile devices as my PDA and/or cell phone, I now own my first device that runs … OS X. Yep, I got an iPhone. We’re in the early stages of testing the iPhone with our corporate e-mail infrastructure: Microsoft Exchange and GoodLink. Since my AT&T account has been upgrade-eligible for some time (the [...]
I love my iPod. I #$%@ HATE iTunes!
I love my 30gb iPod Video … I really do. The interface is simple and elegant; the hardware is a marvel; its changed how I listen to music, and what I listen to: I don’t listen to radio at all anymore, I listen to podcasts (or when the podcasts run out, music!). So why, why, [...]
“WALL-E” is great!
We took my daughter to see Disney Pixar’s latest animated feature, WALL-E, tonight, and it was great. For a film with only a few characters and almost no dialog, it tells a story anyone can follow and understand. It’s not as cartoonish or cutesy as Pixar’s previous fare but will still reach out to all [...]
Road Trip 2008: Day 4
We spent today in the City of Brotherly Love: Philadelphia, PA … our first day without any serious driving since last Saturday. The day started at the Independence Visitor Center after which we just started walking around the historic downtown area. Check out this great ad (to the let) for an iPod-assisted walking tour of [...]
Philips DCP850/37 portable DVD player
Our old Polaroid portable DVD player wouldn’t work off of just battery anymore since a tiny plastic latch had broken off. After researching the cost for a new battery, I decided to just sell the whole thing on eBay and get a brand new player. At Best Buy, I found the Philips DCP850/37 portable DVD [...]
5th gen iPod Video
My luck continues … I was the winner of a random drawing for a customer satisfaction survey I filled out some months back. My prize: a 30gb 5th generation Apple iPod with Video! Now, there was nothing really wrong with my trusty Archos Jukebox Studio 20 that has served me well for close to four [...]
Archos Jukebox Studio 20
I found out quick that using the Microdrive along with my iPAQ to play MP3s on the road wasn’t a perfect solution. The Microdrive would only hold about 50 songs, suck the iPAQ’s batteries dry, and using Windows Media Player is not exactly my idea of fun. At the same time, I was looking at [...]
