Apple of my eye

May 30th, 2007

Apple recently announced at the All Things Digital Conference that iTunes now sells DRM-free songs.

I just got LaptopConnect from Cingular working.

Here is my dream mobile computer that is within the realm of current technology:
goals: light, fast, easy to use — basically an electronic legal pad
specifications:
