iTunes drops all DRM, adds variable pricing (TUAW.com)

Apr 7th 2009 12:12PM Just plain stupid if you ask me... My take: "iTunes variable pricing has nothing to do with “supply and demand”, just record label greed and stupidity" http://www.last100.com/2009/04/07/itunes-variable-pricing-supply-and-demand/

Nokia 5800 XpressMusic review (Engadget Mobile)

Mar 30th 2009 1:33PM Lots of fair points, certainly I'm no fan of the resistive touch screen. One thing I'll point out though, the bezel around the screen is *designed* to serve a purpose - to protect the screen when the phone is face down. Just saying. More of my hands-on thoughts here.

Good news for Apple: Android delays expected (TUAW.com)

Jun 23rd 2008 4:03PM Over at last last100, I wonder if Google’s Open Handset Alliance strategy may have inherited the worse aspects of both an open and closed platform. By releasing Android to developers, carriers and handset manufacturers as a ‘work in progress’, Google has raised expectations (since anything “broken” can still, in theory, be fixed), with each partner seemingly able to make their own demands on what the finished platform will look like. Worse still, if they don’t like the outcome, Android’s open-source license means that partners are at liberty to make any changes they see fit, not just cosmetic, including re-designing the UI and closing off access to parts of the operating system. It’s in this context that Apple’s more closed strategy and the Steve Jobs dictatorship doesn’t look so bad after all.
