  • The Enterprise, The iPhone, and the Role of Silverlight

    With its recent announcement to support ActiveSync on the iPhone , Apple is clearly going after the enterprise user. The problem, as Colin puts it, is that the decisions that consumers make decisions on a radically different set of criteria than organizations . Lack of Exchange support was surely holding...

  • How to buy an unlocked iPhone (and thoughts on the iPod Touch)

    Go to Germany and bring $1,500 with you (well, more if the dollar keeps slipping and you don't go soon). T-Mobile will be selling an unlocked, contract-less iPhone as a result of a German court ruling . T-Mobile said Wednesday that it will sell the iPhone in Germany without a contract, complying...

  • What exactly is an iPhone application?

    Scoble mentions 3 new iPhone apps today from Newsgator, Bloglines, and Google. It's interesting that companies keep saying they are doing "iPhone development", when really these are nothing more than sites skinned to look more natural on the iPhone. The iPhone is the only mobile phone that...

  • The iPhone is a game-changer

    I recently wrote a piece for the TechDirt Insight Community about the impact of the iPhone and how the other carriers and device manufacturers can respond to the iPhone. I've come to realize that the iPhone has indeed changed the game, but maybe not for the obvious reasons. Yes, the iPhone is "making...

  • iPhone impressions

    Alex has an iPhone (two, actually) and posted his first impressions (but not until he shared his activation woes ). In talking to Alex and reading other reviews, the general consensus is that the iPhone is very good, but underneath it all it's still the same old carrier BS. I did have a chance to play...

  • Is Apple about to launch a subscription service?

    Rumors of an iTunes subscription service have resurfaced . At first I thought that the DRM-free announcement meant a subscription service was less likely , but perhaps the opposite is true. First of all, album purchases will already be the DRM-free "premium" versions. As for individual tracks, the new...

  • Was DRM-free music an Apple innovation?

    Some people have tried to paint the recent announcement by Apple as example of Apple innovating and Microsoft following . Headlines like " Microsoft changes tune on selling DRM-free songs " are simply misleading - none of the technology companies truly wanted DRM, but they were a necessary evil in selling...

  • The Day DRM Died

    As Mike Arrington put it, April 2nd was "the day DRM died". The big news yesterday was that EMI will begin selling its entire catalog without DRM . Starting in May, EMI will start offering a new "premium" option - for $1.29 (30% more than the base $0.99), you get higher audio quality (encoded at 256kbps...

    User Account Control (UAC) is one of the key security mechanisms introduced in Vista. In the past, the default account as an administrator. Following the principle of least privilege , the default Vista account runs with limited access, and Vista detects when something requires "administrator prompts...

  • Steve Jobs and Apple telling half-truths about DRM

    This has already been covered ad nasuem , but I thought I should mention Apple's denouncement of DRM last week. Steve Jobs summarily dismissed Apple's DRM as a result of demands from the record labels. Since Apple does not own or control any music itself, it must license the rights to distribute music...
