Kirb’s Musings

Kirby Witmer’s ponderings, ruminations, and meditations of… anything.

 ……..iTunes locking up in the Chicago AT&T flagship earlier this morning. We’re hearing that the servers are now definitely down after being intermittently active for the past few hours, and that customers are either being turned away or sent home from both Apple and AT&T stores to activate at home using iTunes.

That is like really funny. Perhaps Apple needs to upgrade to Windows Server 2008?

Update: I just love this classic comment: “hello I am a pc….wait where is mac? This was supposed to be a teleconference?”

Wow! Apple is doing the right thing this time around. They announced the new 3G version of the iPhone for the low price of $199. They also included a bunch of features that actually make it a real phone this time, including GPS, 3G, Exchange support, etc. RIM, you’ve got serious competition now!

Update: Robert Scoble says the new iphone actually isn’t cheaper:

The new iPhone is NOT that much cheaper. Yeah, it’s $199, but you have to sign a two-year-contract and the 3G network plan is $10 a month more expensive. So, do the math. It isn’t cheaper.
