iPhone Flurry

Thu, 24 Jun 2010 22:01:23 -0600

Wow. 4:30 AM alarm, pancake breakfast at IHOP with friends, and a mere 6 hour wait in line were all that stood between me and the newest rendition of Apple’s iPhone.

After a few hours and a couple of FaceTime calls, I can say without hesitation that the device is leading the pack. Between the nearly unbelievable new screen, additional and upgraded cameras, and the OS update, I’m loving it.

I’d love to go on, but I am exhausted and in much need of sleepy time.

Congrats on the new phone, Mr. Jobs. Now if you could just smooth out the distribution chain, I’d be most appreciative.

10 reasons not to buy Apple's new iPhone 4G

10 reasons not to buy Apple's new iPhone 4G:

This may be the stupidest article I’ve ever read. Ever. Matt Warman, the author, has a very negative opinion about a device that:

Has not yet been officially announced.
Has not been made available to consumers.

I’m apt to think that Mr. Warman wasn’t the best hire for the Consumer Technology Editor position at the Telegraph.

NoSQL Development in Java

NoSQL Development in Java:

I’m still looking for someone to tell me exactly what kind of situation begs for a “NoSQL” datastore, but I do find the topic very interesting.

This article on IBM DeveloperWorks is a great dipping of the toe into the waters of non-relational storage.

AT&T Revamps Data Plans

AT&T Revamps Data Plans:

AT&T announced new data plans and pricing for smartphones (and the iPad). I’m a bit miffed that the $30 unlimited plan that I originally bought in for is now a $25 plan with a 2GB limit. I suppose the question is would I have needed the unlimited plan.

I feel like someone just lowered the ceiling from a healthy 10 feet to a slightly more claustrophobia-inducing 7 feet.
