I’ve decided to share something very personal with the Apple community so that we can all relax and enjoy the show tomorrow.
~ Steve Jobs at Apple.com/pr/
Is this what we all needed? A official statement about the health of Steve Jobs? I think that this statement is a great thing cause we now all know what’s up with Steve’s health but in the same moment I think it’s very personal and should not be our only thought, Jobs is a famous person but even he has a private live! Even though I’m glad to know what’s up and looking forward to the keynote tomorrow. Steve Jobs did a great job and he’ll go on doing a awesome job in the future as CEO of Apple.

Today I’m answering to a post which was originally written at desktopvibes.com-The Not So Immortal iPod?:
First I think the iPod will be around for years and will not stop selling that fast.
iPhone Selling?
Ok the iPhone is selling really well (especially if you compare it to the first selling of the iPod’s) but you must consider that back than apple was not as popular as it’s now (especially in the not professional working scene)!
What will happen to the iPod?
I think the iPod selling will slower or if it comes hard and fast decrees. But also I think that if they are going to hold the iPod up to date (especially the touchy thing:D) than the iPod would be going to sell great, cause the iPhone contracts are for many people really not affordable (and many people just don’t need internet everywhere!).
More likely an iPod touch than the iPhone? (My Way)
For me I’m looking forward to a iPod touch update and than going to buy that (if it offers new great things like the new 3G iPhone, especially GPS would be really nice) cause I think that everywhere internet wouldn’t be that nice and the monthly fee is just to expensive!
One thing I think they should change is the mayor updating of the iPod touch for money! They just should give it out for free!!! Or much less (something around the 5-10$US)!

Some weeks ago - long before I started publishing this blog - I found a little function in Mac OS X (Leopard, so I don’t know if it works in Tiger or lower too(?) tell me if you know). It’s nothing you need, but I found it interesting to see once than it’s enough.
What/How to see?
Did you ever see the dashboard / finder-movements in slow motion?
Well if not, now you can. Simply press “shift” and than make the finder / dashboard move with for example the F-Keys (F9 - F12) or just opening an folder.
Normally you wouldn’t see that much, it flips up fast ad there it is, but if you press “shift” this movements are slower.
Conclusion
Did you new that function(?) and what do you think of it(?), let me know in the comments.
In my opinion this function isn’t something useful, but I’m proud that I found it myself (OK it was random and not planed but I found it myself:D).
And it’s once interesting to know how the movements look in slow motion isn’t it?
The first post at this blog was about this blog and the iPhone release in Germany. Now it’s much the same.
I’m now going to publish the blog again with the hope that I thought enough about what I’m going to do in the future with it, and that I have enough to say:D
The iPhone
For now I decided not to purchase the iPhone.
Maybe you think that this decision is ugly and bad, cause I could purchase it, and the costs are not the problem, but I have thought about the iPhone quiet some time and came to the end that if I buy the iPhone, than I can go online nearly everywhere I want, and that’s the problem!
I’m on the Internet if I’m at home, and the time outside, at the train to school and so on I’m offline and not connected to the internet what means, that I do other things like reading books, thinking about new ideas and sometimes designing on white paper.
Now if I purchase an iPhone I consider my self not to read books, write down new ideas, or designing new web-designs, rather than surfing the web via the iPhone. Thats why I’m not going to buy the iPhone.
Oh, by the way: if I’m not going to buy the iPhone, I think I’m going to buy something else (not as expensive as a new iPhone but something technically)
What do you think about that desicion? I’m really interessted.
