Government mulls antitrust look at Apple: source

Regulators are considering an inquiry into whether Apple Inc violates antitrust law by requiring that its programing tools be used to write applications for the iPad and iPhone, a source familiar with the matter said on Monday.

Senh: Wow, that was fast. Just last week, I posted a status update on Facebook about this: "Getting tired of this Apple vs. Flash business. At the end of the day. It should be up to users whether or not they want to install it on their iPhone/iPad, not Steve Jobs. It's a legitimate software made by a legitimate company. Otherwise, it's just an antitrust lawsuit waiting to happen." The iPhone/iPad are innovative devices. But not allowing competing mobile browsers and cross-platform app development is obvious anti-competition behavior. Sure, the iPhone eventually allowed Opera Mini, but only because it was able to find a loophole in Apple's app policy.

Yay! Dropbox for Windows Mobile

Mon, 05/03/2010 - 1:26pm — senh

Dropbox has became an indispensable web development tool for me. It lets you share and sync files across multiple computers - your desktop, laptop, and netbook.

I'm Not an iPhone, Not Yet an iPad

Thu, 04/15/2010 - 3:53pm — senh

Ever since I saw the specs on HTC's HD2 several months ago, I wanted to get it - 1GHz processor, 5MP camera, and 4.3" screen. You see, my contract with T-Mobile then was done, so I was looking for a new phone to replace my ancient T-Mobile MDA. I had that phone for four years which, in cell phone years, is a lifetime.
