I hate to be the iPhone fanboy this week, but it is so hard to hate something that is so damn sexy. And apparently gives good talk time, if you get my drift.

5 hour and 38 min to be exact.



People's biggest 3G iPhone complaint or at least main complaint has been battery life, but when compared to the rest of the pack (sans Nokia) it still is better, so why are people complaining so much?

Me? I think the rumor mill just got hold of this issue and now it has a life of it's own... The truth is the iPhone's battery life does sucks...but it is still better than all the others.

When a grain of salt won't do it.

I love industry websites like fiercewireless.com and theregister.co.uk. They keep us up to date with the goings on across wide swaths of the telecom and technology industries. However, I am rarely impressed with the accompanying analysis of many tech bloggers/writers. It seems that more and more the tech media lacks the broad technical expertise required to see much past press releases and industry hype. Often, some products are so over hyped that they have credibility bestowed upon them that they have not earned (i.e.: WiMax).  In other instances, truly ground breaking and industry shifting products get labeled as over hyped, as is the case with the iPhone.

Walt Mossberg speaks up about Internet TV...
But who's listening?
Worth the 7mins.



As a person who has not owned a TV in over 5 years, partly cause I have an unusually negative physical reaction to both advertising and the 5 o'clock NEWS, but strangely, I enjoy NPR, HBO and PBS, go figure. Mossberg's comments on the idiocy of forcing users to watch irrelevant TV ads for product they will never purchase resonated deeply with me.
