What is RSS?

Guess what I'll be banging on about here? You guessed it - all my Mac stuff. Now, I hear you. You're saying that there are plenty of people covering the Mac scene and that another one doing the same thing is just boring.

That's where I'll be different. I'll be sharing the stuff I learn and use. I won't be just rehashing the latest press releases. To be honest, that sort of "me too" reporting isn't fun and doesn't really add a lot of value to the world.

My aim is to add value to your Mac life.

iPhone or iHype

I wrote this story about the iPhone some months ago for the Mebourne PC User Group. I don't think too many people would argue that the Melbourne PC User Group is a fairly conservative group and that they're likely to not be swayed too much by a bunch of market hype. That's why I did some analysis on whether the iPhone lived up to the hype.

So, does the iPhone live up to the hype? At the end of the day, the iPhone is a well designed smartphone. However, hardware is only about 25% of the iPhone story. I think that the iPhone delivers the most nicely integrated software package on any smartphone thus far. The thing is, there's nothing the iPhone does that can't be done by any other phone. What it does do is make using a smartphone easy.
