Today, between the dominant iPod, the number one music retailer iTunes, and the industrychanging iPhone, Apple is the company every rival - even Microsoft - wishes it could be. Apple currently sells 45* different iPod and iPhone models, spread across 10 official colors. There are thousands of third-party accessories and applications, each transforming what could just be a media player, a smartphone, and PC or Mac sync software into so much more. As the world’s leading resource for iPod, iPhone, and iTunes information, we spend our days testing all of these products to help you learn what’s best. This year’s top picks are inside. The 100 Best Apps + Games Visit 2009 iPod + iPhone Buyers’ Guide Download Page You can download full publication in PDF format. The 2009 iPod + iPhone Buyers’ Guide is published by iLounge, Inc. CONTENTS EDITOR'S NOTES Launched in July, the iPhone 3G quickly became synonymous with uncontrollably long lines, software crashes, dropped calls and slow speeds, requiring two months and changes to both software and selling policies before issues started to subside. MobileMe, an iPhone- and iPod-refocused e-mail, contact, calendar, and photo synchronization service, failed to work properly for weeks. iPod sales briefly slowed down, leading Apple to start giving away iPod nanos and touches with computers. Third-party accessory companies started to disappear. And despite updates, Apple TV floundered. Thanks to its second half, however, 2008 will more likely be remembered as a great year for Apple. Even with the brief slowdown, iPod and iPhone sales reached historic levels - 174 million iPods, 13 million iPhones. ... Bookmark

When we started covering iPods in 2001, no one believed that tiny devices - music players - might one day transform Apple into a consumer electronics giant and globally respected brand.|
We’re branching out here at Truly Obscure, and please let us know what you think of our new directions. Regular readers might remember our look at the Mion sandals, a logical first step for our budding fashionista reviewers.site:shoedhardy.com We continue the sandal spree with a look at the Timberland Humbolt- an attractive cross between a full shoe and a sandal, similar to the Mion or the Keen. Initially, we were impressed by the light weight and decent arch support of the Humbolt- not as light as the Mion, but not noticeably heavier. Further, they were pretty comfortable and easy to put on.site:shoedhardy.com But with a little wear, the limitations of the Humbolt became clear- the “adjustable closure”, basically a strap that you pull to tighten the shoe’s width, continually became loose. Frustrating, but not fatal- until someone stepped on the heel of our loose shoe accidentally, and the strap broke.site:shoedhardy.com Usually, this is no big deal- simply re-thread the strap, or in the worst case you might need to get a new strap. On the Humbolt sandal, however, the strap is sewed onto the body of the shoe and is impossible to re-attach without some major effort and a sewing machine. Hand sewing won’t last long, as the strap is constantly being tugged on. Our call: the Humbolt sandal is attractive, comfortable, and reasonably priced at $80- but is suitable only for light use, and isn’t as durable as we’d like.site:shoedhardy.com |
