The internet was going nuts about Flash on the iPhone, and then Apple releases the SDK and has a press conference. We see Spore on the iPhone, but no copy/paste and no Flash. However, Adobe is stepping it up.

Looks like one of the huge differences between the Apple iPhone and every other smartphone is getting smaller. However, I cannot help but wonder, “Is SkyFire an embarrassment to Microsoft or a triumph to 3rd party developers?”

If you buy the iPhone, the expectation is that you follow Apple’s restrictions. This class action lawsuit regarding iPhone modifications is a waste of time. If you modify a device, whether with software or with solder, you run the risk of damaging the product, and voiding the warranty.

Apple can create as many ways as required to keep the device working as intended. Users can create ways to circumnavigate such methods. However, when doing so you waive rights of authorized and intended use.

Well we’re still here, but it seems AMP’D mobile might not be, as the company recently filed for a Chapter 11. If you’re interested, which of course you are, read about AMP’D filing for Chapter 11 here, more AMP’D bankruptcy blather here and of course there is always more + the official statement from AMP’D about their chapter 11.

Today Palm announced “the Palm Foleo, the world’s first smartphone companion product”. I don’t quite believe / agree with what they’re positioning it as, because it looks like a regular laptop to me. And so far, most folks on the web have the same perception.

Well, I have been playing with Google Street View for quite a while. I’m really impressed. Some people are up in arms for no reason, but paranoia is useless. Google Street View has the potential to become more useful than Google Search. Think of all the possibilities.

Speculation swirled about for a few hours, but many sites got the scoop that the big latenight unveiling was going to be the Mirosoft Surface. To sum it up without hyperbole, the Microsoft Surface is a 30-inch tabletop with object recognition and a multi-touch, multi-user interface that will allow users to interact, create and consume digital and real-world content.

If you thought you were going to wait it out for 6 months to a year until the Apple iPhone came to your carrier, think again. AT&T and Apple, according to USA Today are destined to be in bed together at least until 2012.

Apparently NBC and News Corp. have jumped in bed together to produce a YouTube / Google rival. I think we’ve heard this story before, but with all the money rumored to be tossed around the outcome might be different.

I was fapping away some time earlier when I spotted a post on ValleyWag citing Viacom for having double standards. Taking it up a notch, Nick Denton & Co. posted a video of Oprah the Almighty on the Viacom owned iFilm to show the company’s contradictive ways.
