The tech news is a buzz with Apple’s announcement on January 27th, for an alleged tablet. Listening and reading news regarding the upcoming product release is almost too much as experts try to figure out what it should be and what it shouldn’t be. A 10″ LCD is rumored to be the size with perhaps a new iPhone 4.0 SDK that will be announced that same day. Will a new iPhone also be announced with an OLED screen and a 64GB storage capacity? It’ll be an interesting next 10 days until Apple lights up the technology blogs and sites with it’s new product. What are your opinions on it?
Aliph, the makers of the Jawbone bluetooth headsets, announced a new model tonight that’s lighting up the gadget world, the ICON. What makes it different is the design, the new low weight of the unit, and its new ability to include apps on a bluetooth headset. The ICON allows you to goto a mytalk website and add features such as announcing Caller ID and other features to change the voices of the ICON headset. Very interesting to say the least and we’re hoping the PR folks at Aliph might be able to spare a unit for review. We’ve posted reviews of different headsets and hoping to add more to the list.
If you haven’t been searching on the net lately, a new and exciting version of Wordpress has been released. It’s version 2.9 and it’s a huge improvement over the previous versions. Mass upgrading of plugins and video embedding support are the main upgrades. It’s a simple click and upgrade feature within most hosting packages and we’re on it now. No visual changes to the end user, but it’s a huge improvement for the site owners. Congrats to WP for this achievement.
