Red's Ramblings v.2

When people ask me about the new iPhone 3GS the feature that gets shown least is the voice control. Not that it’s not notable but because I just forget its there. Having said that when I have used it (when I remember) it is very good. I’m amazed at how accurate it is even with [...]

I posted a thread on the ITIdiots forum that was so long and said exactly what I wanted to say here that I decided to be lazy and to cut and paste it. A job I can now don funnily enough, on the iPhone.

I have a mate who develops iPhone apps and I occasionally do [...]

Its nearly birthday time again, Monday to be exact and I’ve had a couple of presents early. With the new MacBook Pro in place I thought it a shame to put it in my old Crumpler Crippy Duck, besides the PowerBook was still in there. So I went on the look out for something new [...]

It wasn’t until I saw the keynote that I remembered that it hadn’t been conceived this side of the [...]

Along with many other of my Mac ‘nerd’ brethren I sat at my screen yesterday using whatever resources were at hand to monitor proceedings in Steve’s MacWorld keynote.
