Bluetooth headsets, although very practical , still, in my opinion, haven’t received the widespread acceptance they deserve. Perhaps it’s the fact that they’re just another battery that needs charging, perhaps people just forget them or perhaps it’s there size. With many states introducing laws that require drivers to use some sort of hands free device [...]

iPad Shipping “Update”- Apple’s Got The Power!
Yesterday Judie and I posted our sad tale of woe after speaking to UPS and both being told that there is no Saturday shipping in our areas. I could understand Judie’s situation since she is in a totally rural area but I am in New Jersey! It didn’t make sense that I would not be [...]
Collapse! Chaos Free for iPhone/Touch
We are all feeling the financial pinch! Blue Plate Special is a weekly review of bargain apps for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Nothing over $.99.

Fictionwise Discontinues “Buywise” Program Due To Agency Model
The agency model is making some hardcore waves in the ebook world. First Kobo explained they would be discontinuing coupons, and now Fictionwise has quietly booted their membership program. Buywise offered 15% off books for members, along with special “micropay rebate” offers. It looks like the discount on the books clashed with the new clauses [...]
Same Device + Different Users = Totally Different Perspectives.

Verizon *Finally* Updates Motorola Droid to 2.1 … so who cares?
Image courtesy of TalkAndroid Operating System updates are a funny thing – we just got one from Apple the other day (OS X 10.6.3), but how many folks who have applied it really even know what it does?

Cool Mashup – ‘What a Wonderful World’ Meets Death Metal
Image courtesy of Wilson-Benesch I have been a huge fan of Louis Armstrong for decades, even having ‘What a Wonderful World’ as the dance I did with my mother at my wedding. The song was a huge hit for Satchmo at the end of his legendary career, and was re-released upon his death in 1972, [...]
Herb Ellis, An Accessible Jazz Guitar Great, Dead at 88
Image courtesy of Wikipedia Think back to the first time you met a ‘big celebrity’ – not a sighting in a massive crowd, or perhaps getting an autograph scrawled on whatever you could grab, but when you had some actual human contact with someone considered a legend in their field; contact in the form of [...]
Verizon iPhone- Rumors Everywhere and FINALLY A Thoughtful Post On It
It’s HERE!. Oh wait, it’s not. OMG the iPhone is coming to Verizon! Uhm, oops, it’s not. Again and again and again this is what we have been hearing since shortly after the iPhone was first introduced. Every few months there is a small rumor about the iPhone coming to Verizon and then BAM! It [...]

Review: BugMe for iPhone? It Does (But in a Good Way)
It’s times like this that are hard to write a lead-in for a review. Anyone who has been interested in handheld gadgets since the days of the original Palm devices are going to recognize the name BugMe! So, it’s hard not to start off by talking about how much I liked BugMe! back in the [...]

The expected new version of iTunes is out now and available. No surprise here… It syncs with the iPad and adds support for iBooks.
