Politics, Tech: AT&T is really dropping the ball when it comes to the iPhone

  • It was even apparent during the keynote yesterday that Apple sounds pretty disgusted with how far behind AT&T is dragging them. Notice the absence of any AT&T personnel on stage.
  • TUAW contributor Megan Lavey • On the Apple iPhone 3GS launch, which had all these new features – tethering and MMS, two things that a lot of phones on AT&T’s network already do – that weren’t available in the U.S. due to the carrier. Lavey goes further to say why AT&T will regret this: “Apple won’t forget that AT&T didn’t have key features in place when they needed to be there.” • source

  • OK, we get it. Touchscreens. Ooh. App store. Whatever. But really, couldn’t you have done something even better with it than make it a faster and give it a cool new camera? Evolutionary, not revolutionary.source

Biz, Tech: Steve Jobs could pump Apple’s stock up by returning early

  • Dude’s been recovering from illness. WWDC is Monday. Hmm. Steve Jobs, who sent shockwaves through the industry by taking medical leave in January, could find himself in a position of boosting his own stock if, as reported this week, he appears at the Worldwide Developer Conference on Monday rather than returning at the end of June. A new iPhone launch is expected, and possibly more. We’re excited already. :D source

Tech: Apple clonemakers alternatingly rise and fall

  • Apple has a new unauthorized clone manufacturer to deal with. Quo Computer launches this week with a L.A.-based retail outlet. They plan to prove their worth to Apple by focusing on quality.
  • Good thing they showed up when they did, because fellow clone maker Psystar just filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. They’ll still sell Hackintoishes, but their lawsuit against Apple was put on hold.

Tech: The latest iPhone app news we got to offer to the masses

  • Apple’s policy of rejecting apps based on some minor content flaw continues, this time with an eBook reader featuring a book on Kama Sutra.
  • Finally, have you tried out the USA Today iPhone app? It’s freaking amazing. It’s easily the high standard as far as newspaper apps go. It freaking rules, kids.

Tech: Like the new Safari? Well, you won’t like what it leaves behind.

  • A huge collection of crud gets dumped into an obscure folder. Look, we love the new Safari, Apple, but we’re never going to clear out pages and pages of information inside a folder called something like “/private/var/folders/et/etuAKaR1GTeV9DVeRGfst++++TI/-Caches-/com.apple.Safari/Webpage Previews/”. And you save screenshots of every web site we go to, in case they make our Top Sites in the future. So, Apple, you may want to fix that. Jerks. source

Tech: A bunch of Palm Pre fanbois just wet themselves

  • It’s coming. June 6. $300 (plus $100 mail-in rebate). To everyone who thought the Palm Pre would never see the light of day in the overtly public way which it deserves, next month proves to be Pre judgment day. Getting a release just a couple of days before the third-generation iPhone announcement, they can either steal Apple’s thunder entirely or look like an also-ran in the market. Either way, Bono wins. source
