Friday, March 12, 2010 at 3:05PM I did a small comparison of tech specs before and after pre-ordering iPad. Here are some things I've found:
- new: Audio formats supported: HE-AAC (V1)
- new: TV and video: Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
- image: "mute" switch renamed to "Screen rotation lock"
- iPad Accessories texts changed
Saturday, January 30, 2010 at 5:57PM About a month ago I made some predictions about Apple's event on January 27th. Let's take a look on the results:
- "iTablet": 100%
Yep, iPad is there
- iPhone OS 3.5/4.0 (should be the same OS for tablet, makes sense): 100%
OK, the version number is 3.2 but should be 4.0 when it's ready. So yes, this is the same OS as for iPhone.
- iLife '10: 90%
This is a weird one, because january is the annual time for iLife updates.
- some TV deals: 50%
- own maps app/service: 20%
- Safari update (it's time): 20%
100% missed :-)
- I don't believe the rumors about the "iSlate" name. It sounds awful.
100% true. Although I don't like the name iPad either.

So, here're my predictions for the january event:
- "iTablet": 100%
- iPhone OS 3.5/4.0 (should be the same OS for tablet, makes sense): 100%

Update 1: I don't believe the rumors about the "iSlate" name. It sounds awful.

Wednesday, September 9, 2009 at 12:16AM John Gruber on It’s Only Rock and Roll Event Prelude:
The most important iPod, the Touch, is getting a camera, and I believe will match the iPhone 3GS on processor speed and RAM. Three sizes: 16/32/64 GB for $199/299/399. iPhone OS is the future of the “iPod” brand. The Nano is getting a camera. The Classic isn’t going away just yet — I think they’ll bump the capacity from 120 to 160 GB and keep the price at $249.
Friday, September 4, 2009 at 7:54PM John Gruber on Regarding the Brouhaha Over the Version of Flash in Snow Leopard:
According to VersionTracker, Adobe released version 10.0.32.18 of Flash on July 30. Snow Leopard went GM on Friday August 7.
...
Does anyone really think that Apple should have replaced the single-crashiest piece of software in Mac OS X with a new untested version just eight days before going GM?
BTW does anybody having Windows 7 (final) knows the version of flash player installed on it?
adobe, apple, flash, snow leopard Thursday, September 3, 2009 at 5:46PM Kasper Jade on Apple already testing Mac OS X 10.6.1 Update:
Three people familiar with the matter say the Mac maker issued the first external builds of Mac OS X 10.6.1 to a select group of developers on Monday, September 1st. The move comes just four days after Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard hit retail shelves.
...
Some of the most common problems encountered by users of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard are believed to be out of the company's hands, involving third-party printer drivers and application incompatibilities.
apple, snow leopard Thursday, September 3, 2009 at 3:41PM Katie Marsal on Apple rushing to release "ready-made ringtones":
Music industry sources reportedly told CNet that Apple will announce and begin to sell pre-cut ringtones at its press event Sept. 9, if they can be prepped to sell in time.
