ok, after fooling around with it for a little while... 1. What a gadget... 2. I went to youtube and was watching the Rockets highlight video clips (Go Rockets2K) and got teary eyed watching Mac Vs. Sacramento... also, the Scola vids were nice. I can show my pops at work about Scola's talents... 3. Dwight Schrute rocks on the iPhone. I have had all 3 seasons in the proper format to see how they look... and wow... I'm converting Spierman 3 as I type... will come back with more info after I kept messing around... The Sidekick 3 seems so overpriced now with this price drop... I'm going to my friend's tomorrow and he is gonna put a NES emulator on it and a ringtone program and I can add more to my home page as far as icons and stuff...
For you ladies out there, a new app that turns your iPhone into a...well...uh... http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/apple/ibrate-app-turns-iphone-into-vibrator-296843.php Ladies (and gentlemen), your iPhone app has come, and it's called iBrate. It has one function: turn your iPhone into a vibrator. To control it, all you have to do is hit the one button. To stop, hit stop. Simple.
Jobs is masterful. All the new versions out and a price drop on the iPhone. I don't even know which one to get with the phone dropping so much.
Speaking of Apple vs Microsoft, how funny would it be if Apple came out with an i(Video Game Console) to join the next gen group.
Where did you find that stat? Just curious. I'd be really surprised if 32 percent of music this year was available ONLY online.
Wow, that's really surprising. One third of all releases had no accompanying disc. That's something. For my band's most recent CD, we only pressed 100 of them because we knew it would go on iTunes, etc. But, we did press SOMETHING for shows (we're just about out in fact). I'd love to see a breakdown of which CD's were download only. I wonder if there were any specific genres that did this more than others. I found an MSNBC article that said in 2005, CD's represented 95 percent of all music sold. If 32 percent last year was released only on CD, I wonder how much that has changed in only two years time.
He might have gotten his numbers from his own iTunes library. Maybe 32% of what they sell is only released digitally. Lots of indie stuff I'm sure.
I'm not sure. Indie bands really need CD's because they sell so many of them at shows, which can be a big part of earning income. I wonder if things like compilations were included. I know that a lot of rappers on smaller labels have been selling like this. To be honest, I've been considering selling digital downloads of our stuff at shows - just set up a laptop and iTunes and let people transfer them directly to iPods.
Looks like they're going to work out some sort of $100 credit for buyers: http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/iphone/b...store-credit-for-all-iphone-owners-297182.php EDIT: Also, if you happened to have bought the phone within the last 14 days (their usual return policy) it seems they are refunding the difference.
Wow, some marketing technique there. Since all the new products are over $100 he probably wants you to go buy some overpriced accessory. EDIT: Or to increase shuffle sales.
That iPod Touch looks nice. But I'm willing to bet that within 6 months, apple's going to release a 30 GB and 60 GB iPod Touch for the same price. Then, another 6 months, they'll add a camera. Then, video capabilities. I think I'll wait to when the features get reasonable. this may be weird, but I have a strange theory. The theory is that today's technology was figured out decades ago. For example, the HD-TV was invented in the 1920's. But the inventors decided to release the early blueprints over the span of time, instead of releasing the HD-TV right away. Just so they could milk the money out. Strange, huh?
