iTunes Breaks 10 Billion Song Downloads
I’m very very for Apple, Mr Jobs and the music industry - this is all good news. But, please, Apple, can we have some of that here in South Africa too?

Some say the Apple iPad is super-sized iPhone
What’s next? An oversized iMac the size of a surfboard?

My 10 Crazy Apple iSlate Predictions (Take 2)
A few weeks ago I published my 10 Crazy Apple iSlate Predictions
Well, 12 hours ago it launched. This is how I faired:
1. It actually exists.
Yes, bingo.
2. It runs both Mac apps and iPhone apps.
Well… does iWork count as half a point? OK, no.
3. It’s waterproof. Yep, reading in the bath is a reality.
OK, I was out on a limb here. However, I bet you some accessory manufacurer will ship a waterproof cover before the year is out.
4. You can download and read any e-zine in full colour, unlike the Kindle, etc. (Think the whole Apple ecosytem strategy here, folks. Remember, iPod plus iTunes, iPhone plus apps. Now it’ll be iSlate plus books, movies, magazines, presentations.)
Yes, bingo.
5. It does voice calls, like a phone.
OK, Apple is not all together clear on this. The 3G version has a SIM card, plus the device has speakers and a microphone, so I am guessing calls are a go… but they don’t explicitely say so. Let’s be safe and say it’s data only. So it’s a no then. Second thoughts - if you use the Skype app or Google Voice you can score a yes ;-)
6. It’s also a TV.
Well, kinda. Using the adapter accessory or H.264. Half a point.
7. It can run with or without a SIM card.
Yes, bingo.
8. You can connect it to an external monitor or data projector.
Yes, bingo.
9. It has awesome sound quality for watching movies.
Yes, bingo.
10. It will be seen as both a business tool and a tool for students (think iTunesU).
Yes, bingo.
11. Bonus point: It’s not actually called the iSlate.
Yes, bingo. iPad it is.
Oh, and off course all the obvious things like wifi, 3G+, multi-touch, OLED screens, etc, etc.
Bingo, bingo, bingo.
My list of predictions is not based on science, research or even insider knowledge (of which I have none). It’s based on some wild imaginings I have been having about this mystical device.
I wonder what my prediction score will be, out of 11?
I tally 7 and a half out of 11, if you count my half point.

Apple’s new iPad
I knew I would want one. Now that I’ve seen it, that “want” has just been replaced with “I am getting one”.
Bring it on!

3 Billion iPhone App Downloads!
The problem with a number like 3 Billion is that it seems incomparable, even small, 3 is a small number. What’s a billion anyway?
To put that into context, this amounts to 21,258 apps downloaded per minute!
Or nearly 30 million app downloads per day. Unbelievable!
