Best commercial ever

Can’t stop laughing at this – unofficial of course – Microsoft Zune commercial. Yet sounds like somebody got fired for this. :(

IMHO it was a good chance to beat Apple’s iPod… :P Too bad it’s unreleased! :)

Apple unveils iPhone (for real!)

This time is for real. This is not a fake as the tons (altough some were really sleek!) which invaded the blogosphere some weeks ago. This is how the real iPhone looks like!

Steve Jobs unveiled the new iPhone, starting actually a new era and making Apple a player in the mobile market chessboard.

To commemorate the move, Jobs announced that the company was dropping “Computer” from its corporate moniker. “From this day forward we’re going to be known as Apple Inc.“, Jobs said in front of a roaring crowd.

Weighing in at 135 grams with a 3.5-inch touch screen, the iPhone looks like an iPod without its well-known scroll wheel. It has no conventional buttons, instead using a finger for navigation. It will be available - in the US :( – in June through an exclusive, multi-year partnership AT&T’s Cingular Wireless (read here if you eventually want to switch) and cost between $499-4GB and $599-8GB each.

Ok price is high, but not that much if you compare declared features with those of state-of-the-art phones out now in the shops.

It seems this is going to tear down the barrier between mobile phone and personal computing, providing real wireless access, together with a really innovative interface. I’m really curious about that.

Apple shares already gained a 7% since the launch, and wireless device makers lost millions (-6% both for Blackberry and Palm, TechCrunch reports), this meaning analysts were not wrong at all when the buzz went public, back in September, 2006.

I’m afraid I’ll postpone my mobile phone switching ;) . This is going to be big!

Apple to add iPods to car systems

iPod

Looks like Apple is teaming with main car producers to bundle iPods directly into veichles.

It is an extremely interesting move, considering the sales volume of companies signing the deal (General Motors Corp., Ford Motor Co. and Mazda Motor Corp., but similar deals have been signed since last fall with about a dozen more car companies, including Acura, Audi, Ferrari, Honda, Nissan, and Volkswagen).

Full details here.
