♦ Apple Bluetooth Headset receives feature reduction

Apple iPhone Bluetooth Headset then (Dock included), and now (no Dock for you! Starting with the Keynote at Macworld Expo 2007, the iPhone Bluetooth Headset never got much attention.

♦ Microsoft's role in iPhone 2.0: Exchange ActiveSync

With the recent launch of the iPhone App Store, I spent a few minutes trying to figure out if Microsoft had written any of the 500 or so applications that became available on day one.

Although the EDGE-capable "2G" iPhone ended up being a smash success during its one-year reign, critics wanted a 3G version from the very beginning. And so Apple giveth.

♦ iPhone Mania in San Francisco

Approaching the Apple Store, I breathed deeply of the burnt hydrocarbons and fresh urine that is a summer morning in downtown San Francisco. The brushed-metal and glass cube was yet hidden, until I turned the corner at Market Street.

Ever since flat-panel TVs began adorning walls, manufacturers have assumed that they should be treated like fine art--even to the point of disguising the sets as paintings or antique mirrors.
