There is a hardly a day that goes by that I don’t take some time out to read David Pogue’s NYT’s blog. I find David to be highly entertaining and knowledgeable about his subject. But possibly some of the best stuff that David does are his song spoofs about technology. His latest is a video musical he did about the latest gadget from Apple. (I won’t mention it by name due to my previous promises). This video is well worth your time and very funny.

Yes, now I am in the millions that have posted blogs on the day of the release. I have read blogs that range from Woz and the Mayor of Philadelphia waiting in line for their phones. There is a weird rumor that AT&T has boosted the speed on their EDGE network. I have seen pictures of lines and people missing a day of work all over a phone. So what does this say about our culture today? Technology is VERY important to us. We have become a generation and a culture that not only loves, but depends on our technology. Apple and the iPhone will change the course of history with this device, or so we are being told, I wonder if that can be true? How can a device such as this really change our world, I guess we will find out. So for just today, Happy iPhone Day!.
Want your screen saver to turn off when you walk in the room? What about having iTunes automatically pause and play when you leave or comeback? What about being able to send SMS messages from your computer. BluePhoneElite will allow you to do all this and more. I am dying to give this app a try but my Blackberry is not supported but many other phones are compatible. This is a must to show to your Windows friend who want to see some of the power built into a Mac.

This article details a piece of software that will cause your cell phone to begin screaming if stolen from you. Most people realize that their cell phone is missing within in 30 seconds much faster than the one hour it takes us to realize our wallet is missing. I am not sure what that says but it says something. This software will cause the stolen phone to make a loud high pitched noise begging the thief to relinquish it.
The latest out of the engineers at Verizon is that the new 8703 will be available to the market beginning Sept 18th. Let’s hope they hold this date. There have been reports of an earlier launch but this is supposed to be pretty firm.

Motorola has just supplied a firmware update for the Q that will finally enable MSFP to work on this Verizon device. MSFP, or Microsoft Messaging and Security Feature Pack will finally enable Windows Mobile devices to have email pushed to them rather than pulling email. When it was announced it was thought that this would be a serious competitor to Blackberry, however it may be too late to the show. In addition to allowing for push email it will provide security features for users receiving mail from Exchange 2003 and will allow the Q to be used as a modem on a laptop. There are also some bug fixes and improvements to the OS. For all you Q users out there you will want to get your hands on this firmware update.
