Apple has rewritten marketing bumf for its MobileMe service after it emerged the "push" service actually needed customers to do their own share of shoving when it came to updating desktop apps.鈥
Greg Joswiak is Apple's vice president of Hardware Product Marketing. He must be a smart man, to get to that position right? In an interview with him on launch day, some simple and common issues about the iPhone have been raised. One of the issues discussed was the copy paste function.
And since Greg Joswiak is a smart man we were expecting some smart answers from him. But here's how iPhone's copy paste function was explained. Or should I better say the missing iPhone function?
Apparently copy paste is either a really complicated feature either a very unimportant one. Mr. Joswiak said that this feature wasn't a top priority with "other things to be more important". Sure I mean why not? We'll wait one more year for the next generation of iPhones, the CopyPaste 3G iPhone.
I imagine what really happened. Why the guys in R&D were working on the last feature to be added, the copy paste thing, someone rushed into the lab. Mr. Joswiak started kicking and screaming about how "Mr. Jobs is already on the stage bullshitting people about the MobileMe application and he really needs an iPhone device in his hand and a presentation behind him up and running. Just leave the copy paste function out! Now!". These events took place evidently on the 9th of June of course.
Getting back to reality we should really be in awe. I mean, no matter what flaws the iPhone obviously still has, Apple has sold a whole million of them by Sunday. Surely copy paste will come to us eventually.
In this new mini-laptop world, maybe one of the most expected new releases is the Dell E. The mini-notebook from Dell is rumored now to retail for just $299 in August when it will officially launch.
What an Eee price for the Dell. At some point a price tag under $500 was rumored, but I think all mini-laptops lovers are going to love the $299 thing.
Sure the E series will have various laptops to choose from with various features so I am thinking that only those entry level netbooks will retail for $299. After all Dell is always trying to oversell their products. I mean sure they have great prices and lots of deals, but when you go ahead to order online, they tend to throw in lots of extended warranty options, accessories and software. And you end up buying some of that. So don't be surprised if your final order totals a whole lot more than the actual computer price you wanted to buy in the first place.
Asus, a leading manufacturer of top of the line laptops and notebooks, has unveiled its new Montevina platform-based laptop named as the F8Va. However, the said laptop will only be available on the Korean market, but in a few months, I bet it will be released worldwide.
The F8Va runs on an Intel Core Duo T9400(2.53GHz) processor with the Windows Vista OS. It features a 4GB DDR2 800MHz memory, 320GB SATA hard drive, ATI Radeon HD3650 graphic chipset, and a 14-inch WXGA LCD screen with 1440*900 resolution.
Other features included Bluray DVD combo drive, 1.3M camera, HDMI support. It is expected to be available in Korea market in the end of July.

This is the Sony Ericsson Feng in the leaked picture above. I don't know if there's a Shui from Sony Ericsson, but if I was Sony Ericsson I'd create one. There can't be a Feng without a Shui, can it?
This phone will be announced on July 22nd and we also like to call it the W302.
The Feng will be a walkman version of the S302 phone. You must have lost interest by now. The S302 was an entry to mid range phone. Not the spectacular iPhone competitor you wished for. So the W302 will be similar to the S302. No high hopes for this one either. Besides the music capabilities, the Feng will have a 176x220 display and a 2 megapixel camera to go with that. Powered by the A2 software platform, this simple phone will be quite useful if you're looking for a fast, fun cell phone.
