Musings

I make lots of typos typing text messages. My finger can’t seem to hit the right letters. I tend to use the side of the finger to hit the letters. I think I’m touching the right one but it always happen to be the next letter. Pretty frustrating until I discovered that using the landscape mode and typing with my thumbs solved the problem.

For some reason, I type on on the side of the thumbs too. But I hit the right keys… Oh well. I wouldn’t say no more typos, but let’s say I’m less frustrated now.

All eyes are pointing at Apple as Sept 9 draws near. Apple has sent press invitations in the US but what new gizmos will there be? Methinks, there’ll be new iPods and maybe a new version of iPod Touch with camera. But  will there be a netbook? Most importantly, will Jobs show up?

My guess is that the netbook is destined for January 2010 and Jobs himself will launch it. The Apple media isn’t in high gear which doesn’t mean that there won’t be any major announcements. It’s just that Jobs isn’t likely to grace the stage.

We’ll find out on Sept 9.

• An era has ended
• Macworld ain’t no fun anymore
• An iPod shuffle that talks?
• My last Macworld
• A really good story on Apple
