There’s nothing like a little bit of tech news to start your day off right. In this morning’s edition of the US Update we take you to a world where Kinect and Windows 7 take multi-touch into the future, 1985 when Steve Jobs predicted the iPhone and more.
November, 2010
The painfully slow release of the white iPhone 4 can only be described as a saga. A series of delays have pushed the product into a uncertain future. For those calling China home, that future could materialize into the present as reports now suggest white iPhone 4s are being sold on the grey market.
Cofounder and head honcho at Apple, Steve Jobs, has quite an impressive set of product launches under his belt. The latest of his creations, the iPhone and iPad, have changes the way we think about mobile phones and arguably use the Internet. But, did Steve predict the iPhone and iPad way back in 1985?
The Advent Vega budget Android tablet has been available for less than 24 hours on Dixons and PC World online sites, but already it’s sold out due to high demand. Is this a first for Advent?
We’ve seen a few iPod nano watch designs before but the TikTok and LunaTik iPod nano watch straps created by Chicago design studio Minimal and offered via Kickstarter may well be the best looking so far. The TikTok lets you simply snap the iPod nano into the strap meanwhile the LunaTik is a more upmarket model made with Aerospace Grade Aluminium. There’s also a red anodised version for people who put in a bit more cash to back the project. The TikTok is due to ship in December (do you want to see our Christmas lists?) while the LunaTik is due in mid-January. Click the headline to hit the comments.
Out now | TikTok $34.95/ LunaTik $69.95 | Kickstarter
