WSJ is reporting that HarperCollins and Apple are having raw negotiations for inclusion of tablet-based books in the rumored Apple iSlate device to be shown to the public this January 27th in a special media presentation.

HarperCollins + Apple iSlate could hurt Amazon in the long run and catapult Apple into a new and profitable business model.

In the other hand, Michael Robertson posted a logical and almost feasible article about Apple’s …

Yesterday I received a shiny new iMac 27″ and I only have one word to define this gorgeous monster: AMAZING, this computer is elegantly designed, a perfect match for my office needs, but an ultra perfect match for my home as a real media center and this is where Apple fails miserably.

The clean and ultra sharp LCD screen of the iMac 27″ is more than perfect to fit a TV tuner, …

There is always something to write about Apple and the iPhone, the near-launch iTablet or the malfunctions at the AppStore approval, a growing pain for developers and the bad publicity it generates for Apple.

The AppStore approval process is a joke, a sour joke and Apple should take care of the whole system, shut it down and relaunch it, this is something that will make developers jump ships and while the …

Speculation about a new iTablet being developed by Apple is rampant, the blogosphere has been prototyping, faking and visualizing what it will look like and how it will transform our mobile life, but while the general perception is that an imminent introduction of a new bigger and better iPod transformed into a new iTablet is around the corner alongside the old model, Apple could kill the iPod Touch as We know …

Apple’s success is not a pure coincidence, it has been a combination of time, hardwork and ideas, the result of Apple’s decision to create its own ecosystem where it can innovate and guarantee a secure path to its evolution and this evolution at the same time has required an enormous sacrifice and dedication, sometimes a sour and sweet one.

Apple has shifted its strategy to where it has paid off, putting more …

I have been using Macs since the introduction of the Classic I and since then We were all expecting for Apple to take over Microsoft and its dumb Windows, for Apple to have a real commitment with games developers to guarantee more and new mac games, we were expecting for Apple to advertise Mac OS and show the common people how really easy is to use a mac, but none of …

We all know that Apple is brewing something secretly, maybe a ultra faster processor with small energy footprint, but what We all do not know for sure is how much is Apple interested in taking the game spotlight away from Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft or how much is Apple poised to make the iPod Touch or maybe the next iTablet a true gaming platform.

With the power the iPhone 3Gs is carrying …

As new rumors resurface about a HDTV with AppleTV attached from Apple and the inevitable dismissal of the 30″ Cinema Display and the new arrival of a new serie of intelligent displays with more features and less power consumption, plus the impending upgrade of the AppleTV to something usable, what We really believe Apple needs to end the Livingroom war against Microsoft is a Television OS.

An OS that give you …

This week we all knew about the plan to increase the royalties paid to songwriters and the immediate impact in the price of a single song in the iTunes Store, something that put Apple in a terminal decision, increase the price for any given song or shut down the whole music store….

The iPod Touch is a nice product, a touch screen, an easy to follow navegation system, a good piece of hardware marvel, but it is not an iPod nor an iPhone and the reasons for its introduction are unknown.

Let’s put it straight:
If your primary need is to listen music, jog and travel light, then the ipod touch is not what you need. Listen music is not the …

AppleTV has been a hobby project for Apple and there is not doubt that there’s something big waiting to happen, but as usual, nobody really knows what’s the future for this little device, it could end up being an attempt to enter a market that Apple later could decide isn’t sustainable, cutting down the project.

In the not so distant past the personal computer came to our homes from the enterprise users that happy with what they have as a business tool were adapting it to a more and more personal use. Every new computer or any other technology was intended first to the enterprises and then those systems found its way to home.
