When the iPhone launches in June of this year, there will be dozens of accessories available from a variety of companies. I’ve been thinking about the different type of accessories you could create for the iPhone, and have composed this list (complete with mock-ups) of 5 that I think are must-haves.

FLASHBACK: 1997 Steve Jobs Time Magazine cover
My what a difference a decade makes. 1997 was a really BIG year for Apple. Things were really, REALLY bad on the Apple homefront, and everyone knew it was time for a change. In this time magazine article Steve Jobs was quoted as saying,”Apple has some tremendous assets, but I believe without some [...]

DISCUSSION: Is Cingular really THAT bad?
I was watching Geekbrief today, as I often do, and I heard something surprising…self confessed Mac Addict, and Geekbrief host, Cali Lewis said that she probably wasn’t going to get an iPhone because of Cingular.

Apple Insider is reporting that we may see The Beatles finally added to the iTunes music store on Valetine’s Day - as a clever way to promote their new Cirque du Soleil project, Love (which, BTW - is AWESOME - and already on my iPod, so I won’t be buying the DRM’d tracks).

Office 2008 screenshots
TUAW has another great gallery up. This time it’s a closer look at Microsoft’s Office 2008. Office 08 is set to be released in the second half of 2007, and will run natively on both Power PC and Intel based Macs.
The Mac version of Office 08 will feature seemless compatibility with it’s Windows counterpart, and [...]
tv: 5 Reasons to Dump your Cable and DVDs
I wrote very briefly about my plans to do this last week…to interesting responses. So I decided to go into why I think this is a good idea in a little more detail.
Before I start…I want to say a little something about tv. This device is not for hackers, techies, and super-geeks…it’s for [...]
