Today is Apple’s big keynote address and Steve Jobs will be front and center to deliver all the wonderful new toys and updates we can expect this year. What we all hope to hear about is the wildly anticipated Apple 3G phone which may or may not be revealed today. The buzz across the internets is that MS will try to one-up their counterpart by announcing a Blu-ray compatible Xbox 360 before the 10 AM(PST) keynote in San Francisco. Its 12 PM now on the east coast. A couple hours away. What do you guys think?

You may have noticed I’ve been a bit absent the past few days. If you were jumping for joy, you’ll be glad to hear I’ll be down for the count for a bit longer. My Dell laptop decided to kick the bucket, a mere 2 weeks after the warranty expired. So I’ve decided it’s time to take the plunge and switch to Mac.
I picked up a 15″ MacBook Pro yesterday from my local Apple Store. I got home to discover that they keyboard intermittently stops working. Just my luck. Anyway, I’m heading back to the Apple Store in a bit to exchange this out for a different laptop. I should be back in full force tomorrow afternoon/evening.
While I’m away, if anyone has an recommendations for cool apps for Mac, or good versions of FTP or SSH software, let me know in the comments.

In case you have an iPhone or iPod Touch, we setup a custom Webclips icon for the devices. With the firmware updates released yesterday at MacWorld, you can now add Webclips, or shortcuts to web sites, on your homepage.
I went ahead and created a cool little icon to display on the devices instead of showing the page contents. So go fire up your iPhones and iPod Touches and add us as a Webclip. You know you want to

If you’re like me, you’re waiting ever so patiently for Steve Jobs to take the stage and announce new features for the iPhone and Macs. The keynote is about to begin.
If you want to check out all the action, head on over to MacRumors Live for an up to date feed on what’s going down. Here’s to hoping we get MMS for the iPhone…

So you have an ipod and are tired of listening to just music, what do you do? Play Sonic of course! Looks like everyone’s favorite spikey blue haired hedgehog is now available on Apple Ipods. You can buy Sonic for $5 or even send him as a gift for those gamers you want to get a Christmas gift for.
I am hoping this starts a big push for more games to come to the Ipod format, but something tells me that this may be a flash in the pan, since there was no support given to an Iphone version of the game.
Hit the jump for a screenshot and the press release.

We all saw this coming. We hoped it would not, but its here. Total Windows and Mac anarchy. At the beginning, you could not play iTunes songs on the Xbox 360. Now, its a total lockout. According to many people and this recent Neogaf forums post, the third generation, or 3G iPod Nano, and iPod touch along with the iPhone, apparently do not sync with the Xbox 360 and are unable to play the music stored on them. They are detected, but are otherwise useless. My question to the readers, is to confirm or deny this report. I have an original Nano and it works fine on the machine. It seems that only the new products are compatible and only the MS mp3 players will work. Anyone who has the new Apple stuff, let us know!

Well now you can. Following the Giga pets and Nintendogs craze comes Virtual Squirrel from DS Effects, where you have to take care of… you guessed it a virtual squirrel. (Not too creative with the titles over at DS Effects, are we?) You can feed it and care for it or torture the squirrel and starve it, I wonder if you can train it to take nuts out of their shells?
From the official press release:
The objective is to take care of your virtual squirrel. You can clean him, train him, feed him, and make him study, amongst other things. He can die if you let him starve or grow sick if you leave him alone for too long.
The game is available for all java-enabled phones. A free wap version, including Apple’s iPhone, is also available.

Looks like the outcry of early adoptors hearing of the price break has worked. The Apple Inc. CEO Steve Jobs publicy apologized and offered $100 credits this afternoon to customers who had already shelled out the $599 full price for their iPhone. Many were unhappy when the company unexpectedly slashed the price $200 in a push to boost holiday sales. At least a $100 rebate is not a bad compromise and a great show of good faith by Apple, think of the extra $100 you paid as a fee to get them first.

If you’ve been wanting an iPhone but didn’t want to spend the money, you’re in luck. At yesterday’s media event, Steve Jobs announced the 4gb iPhone would be going the way of the 20gb PS3, and the 8gb iPhone would see a price drop to $399. That’s a $200 price drop for those counting.
Sucks for early adopters with this huge price drop just 2 months after release, but this is going to sell a LOT more iPhones for Apple.
Check out our review here if you need some more information. The iPhone is easily the best mobile device I’ve ever had.
