Hello folks and welcome to another edition of Triple T! Let’s jump right into things.
Zoom Q3
Samson has a new gadget called the Zoom Q3 handy video recorder. Think of it as an H2 but with a video camera. Basically this is Samson competing with a Flip Video camera.
There’s a bug in my Snow Leopard
Ok well not mine personally but Apple has acknowledged it and is working on an update to fix the issue.
Jobs helping out Disney on store makeover
Well he must be feeling a lot better. In addition to being very hands out with the much rumored Mac tablet, Steve Jobs is also apparently assisting Disney with their retail store makeover. Being how successful the Apple retail stores have been Jobs should know something about how a store should look and feel to the customer. Looking forward to seeing what the first prototype store will look like.
Personal commentary time
Canon, you need to make configuring your wireless printers easier! It should take me a USB cable to get your printer configured on my wireless network, that is ridiculous! BTW, I still love you guys just take this as creative criticism.
Comcast bidding on NBC
Ok at first I thought this was a bad idea considering what Comcast did to TechTV when it rebranded them G4. Then I remembered, wait this is NBC. How could Comcast possibly make worse decisions than NBC is already? This comes the same week NBC decided to pull the plug on “Southland” even before it could begin a full season. Morons! But Comcast would make me a happy camper if they gave Keith Olbermann his walking papers, I’m sure Obama can make Olby some sort of new Czar of something for a job.
This Week’s iPhone/iPod touch apps
Pizza Hut - Although I have not tried it out yet to do an actual order, I have used the demo mode on it and I’m really impressed. You can choose from multiple address accounts on it (Note: You will have to setup the actual addresses on pizzahut.com)
Tweetie 2 - Yeah I know I griped about how Tweetie was going to charge both new and previous existing customers $2.99 for the version 2 app. But after checking out the reviews and reading the new features, I decided to give in and buy it and boy am I happy I did. As a result I no longer have Twitteriffic on my iPhone and now just have 1 Twitter based app on my iPhone. It is very nice and has all the features I desire on one single app. Trends, posting photos and video within the app, searches, geotagging , hashtag searching, shrink URL’s, multiple accounts, oh and offline line Twitter drafts which is nice.
Those are the 2 apps I played around with this past week. That will do it for another edition of Triple T. See you all next week.

Tuesday Tech Talk #14
Hey folks it’s Tuesday so time for another installment of Triple T!
AT&T MMS for iPhone
Ok so it’s finally here after more then 2 years of waiting for it on the iPhone, MMS. All I can say is I can’t wait for AT&T to add Tupelo to 3G cause the last part of sending the photo hangs for a good minute. I’m convinced this is an EDGE/2G issue more than anything else but if anyone else has 3G and notice it is hanging on the last part as well let me know. Hey AT&T, Thursday is October 1st and you said 3G in Tupelo by the end of the year, you’ve got 3 months to make good on your promise there blue Death Star. This now concludes Rob’s weekly griping about all things AT&T, remember when Comcast was the ire of my venting?
Comcast props
Let me expand on that while I’m at it. You may recall I use to have a terrible internet experience with Comcast almost to the point where I was looking at AT&T DSL plans (the horror!!). Well I am happy to say nearly 3 months since Comcast routed a new line from the pole to my house I have had zero drops on the internet now. As someone that works with DirecTV, Comcast I’m giving you 2 thumbs up and taking you off my tech enemies list, AT&T you have the top spot right now, yes even over Microsoft.
Latest Apple Tablet speculation
MacRumors has some new tidbits via iLounge about features the new tablet may feature as well as a possible late Spring release (May or June). Interesting features but if you already have an iPhone or touch it may not be of much use besides having the bigger screen it will pretty much be the iPhone OS it runs on. But check out the articles if interested.
iMac and Mac mini supplies running low...update near?
Apple has informed it’s retail outlets of constrained iMac and Mac mini shipments leading to speculation of new updated iMac and mini lines. There has been heavy speculation about iMac and MacBook but not mini updates.
Tweetie 2 near...but with a cost
Our friends at TUAW report on a new Tweetie 2 for the iPhone and iPod touch with some new features but there is a catch...this one will have a $2.99 price tag on it and even if you have version 1 your still going to have to pony up the $3 for the new version which stinks. Maybe Tweetie is taking business lessons from AT&T. Guess I will be using Twitterrific 2, at least they were honest from the start about their cost and when they made a substantial update in version 2 didn’t charge for it. Shame on you Tweetie...shame!
Well thats about it, sorry but no iPhone/touch app reviews this week. Just haven’t really tried anything new this week. See you next week though for another Tuesday Tech Talk.
