Thursday January 11, 2007 Links for 11th January 2007
|
It's been a while since I've done one of these. I've collected several links over the Christmas/New Year period. Time to clear them out. Expect a couple more similar posts in the next few days. |
- PhotoStamps - Real Postage. Really You.
We were going to do this for Duncan for Christmas, then totally forgot about it. Sorry, U.S. postage only. (Thanks Linda). - Gelaskins - Home of the best iPod skins on the planet.
I'm trying to persuade my wife to get one (or more) of these for her iPod. I see there are also skins for your Powerbook. Maybe I'll be tempted. (Thanks Liz). - A Periodic Table of Visualization Methods
What I also found interesting here was the actual technology used to do the layering. Hopefully I'll be able to use this to improve my tag cloud.(Thanks Tony and stephen)
- The new iPhone
As announced at Steve Job's keynote.There are only four things stopping me buying one of these right away:
- The price. I realize it's more than "just a phone", but it's
still steep.
- Not my carrier. I think that'll change in a little while as
other phone manufacturers realize the competition they are up
against.
- Not wanting to buy v1.0 of any new technology. There are
probably still a few bugs to be ironed out.
- It's not available until June 2007 here in the U.S.
Some of the alternative designs are interesting too. All of them much better than the new Microsoft Zune Phone.
- The price. I realize it's more than "just a phone", but it's
still steep.

Good point. I think it's early days yet. This could be like LEGO Mindstorms, in that the company haven't thought through on the full potential. If Apple doesn't give on this, I see a cottage industry building up around somehow deploying new applications to this device (perhaps reverse engineering how the software-update application on the device will work).
Thanks for the link.
