  • iPod Touch Designed to Push iPhones?

    ipodtouch Earlier this month, Apple delivered on what fans had long been asking for - a widescreen iPod video with the touch screen capabilities of the iPhone, but without the hassle of going though AT&T to gain phone service. It even debuted with a WiFi-enabled iTunes Music Store.

    The new iPod Touch looks like an iPhone and has similar capabilities of an iPhone, including Safari Web browsing, YouTube, iCal and other features. But if you look at the iPod Touch, you’ll see half the screen devoid of icons - while the iPhone is full. As iProng’s Bill Palmer points out, there are a host of features you’ll miss out on from the iPhone if you buy the iPod Touch. And as I look at the iPod Touch, I can just see myself longing for the convergence of one device, instead of having the iPod Touch in one pocket, and the Blackberry in the other. This feeling is reinforced by Apple’s leaving half the screen empty of icons - a subtle reminder every time you fire up the iPod Touch that you made a compromise.

    Its introduction coinciding with the controversial $200 price drop on the iPhone, the 16 GB iPod Touch is the exact same $399 price tag as the 8 GB iPhone. If it wasn’t for the hassle and issues with AT&T, the additional features of an iPhone would make purchasing that product a no-brainer over the iPod Touch. As amazing as the iPod Touch is, you can imagine the number of times you would be asked, “Oh is that one of those iPhones?”, only to answer no, and set yourself up for a long explanation. I find myself getting this close to ordering an iPod Touch, only to stop, because at that point, I might as well get an iPhone. And just maybe, that’s what Apple wants me to do.

  • Open Thread Weekend: We answer tech questions, too

    The open thread closes at midnight PDT (UTC -0700). Be sure to get your questions in before then!

    Although we at The Apple Blog like to hand down our knowledge and opinions on all things AAPL (sometimes a little too self-righteously, sure, but aren’t bloggers supposed to be snarky and provocative?), the real reason we’re here is to serve cool readers like you. Yep, you! Whether through the articles we write, or by answering the questions you post in open threads, our purpose as TAB bloggers is to offer you assistance and insight into the Apple world and the Cult of Mac.

    Is there some technical topic about OS X that has been bugging you for a while? Prof. MacLovin is here to help! Whether it’s configuring launchd(8) services or getting that issue resolved with your blinking AirPort Extreme status light, run it by me. Having problems getting your favorite GNU software to compile? I’ve been there and done that: I feel your pain, and I will ease it. If you accidentally break down your software RAID-1 device in Disk Utility, though, you’re out of luck. I’ve been there and felt that pain, too, and there’s nothing that can be done.

    So have it: What’s on your mind? Anything that you’ve been trying to accomplish with your Mac that you can’t quite figure out? We’ll work through it together. Answers to your questions are just a comment away.
