Opinion: Is Apple a bigger danger to our lives than Microsoft?
Jonathan Weinberg writes… I thought I could rely on Apple so this morning I awoke to disappointment in Steve Jobs after his Macworld announcements yesterday. I was sure he’d launch a new iPhone with either 3G or bigger storage memory, thus annoying the FOUR MILLION people who have now, like cult followers, signed up to the iPhone religion.
But it was a clever move. Save that announcement for a couple of months time, and bring a second-generation device out around a year after the first and no-one can have any complaints… can they? After all, technology is always changing and those of us who spend fortunes on gadgets and gizmos, only to see them bettered just weeks later, are fools of our own making. I do it, as much as you…

UK Apple fans to be treated to our own Black Friday sale, for tomorrow only!
It may not be on par with America’s Black Friday sale last week, but currently the UK is going through some sort of pre-holiday sales-blitz, with most high street stores offering at least 20% off their wares. It’s getting to the point where I’m refusing to pay full-price now, I’m just waiting for the day when I throw a diva strop in Sainsbury’s, horrified that their skim milk isn’t discounted!
Thankfully Apple fanboys won’t have to start throwing diva strops anytime soon, as the big Jobs has kindly ordered a discount on a huge range of Apple…

HTC adds another model to their Touch family, the Touch Cruise with GPS
I’m a firm advocate of the HTC Touch family, having been an obsessive user of the first-gen model since it launched in June, and been salivating over the new Touch Dual we saw back in October. Heck, even the purple Ted Baker-branded Touch from the other week has got me dreaming of the day my mobile contract expires.
Sadly it doesn’t look like my obsessive thoughts about the Touch are going to be disappearing any time soon, as they’ve just…
Shiny Video Review: UK Apple iPhone
Obviously our US readers will look at this video and think we’re about four months too late, as the iPhone was launched state-side eons before anywhere else. The UK has just 24 hours until we can get our paws on…
Apple has developed a touch-sensitive keyboard, TouchStream, according to patent applications
Last week a patent application for a touch-screen keyboard by Apple was leaked to the rumour mill (internet forums) which has subsequently caused a bit of a storm, as you’d expect.
Already in possession of a name, the TouchStream keyboard uses the same technology behind the iPhone, which they acquired when they bought the company Fingerworks in 2005. The design shows…
Shiny Video Review: Susi checks out the Apple iPod Touch
Yes, we all know the capacity isn’t really high enough but oh my goodness, does this lovely machine look and handle well. I’m making it sound like a car, but I was watching Susi’s every move and trying to steal it from her constantly. See…
Hot gossip regarding the HTC Touch: new colours, and virtual keyboard
One thing I forgot to mention on Monday after I got back to Shiny Towers from the uber-special HTC launch, was that the first Touch version will be getting all jazzed up in some special clothes just in time for Christmas.
Next week, the Touch, which is currently available only in black and wasabe green, will be available in a special…
