Hasta La Gadget!

We know you’ve been on pins and needles since we cleared up some of the confusion regarding the Clamcase, but a review unit finally landed on our doorstep to put through the paces. If you need a refresher, this was one of the earliest iPad keyboard cases to be introduced, but has only started shipping recently after some manufacturing woes. We’ve had sometime to put this baby through the paces so read past the break for the lowdown.

Well, MWC is in full swing, where folks like LG, Samsung, Sony, and Nokia are pouring their souls out in front of us in device form. So, naturally, the rumors are swirling about… the iPhone nano. In a followup to the Wall Street Journal‘s big story, Cult of Mac is claiming some additional inside info from a source with a “great track record.” The main idea is that the iPhone nano would rely on the cloud to such an extent that the device wouldn’t really have any local storage to speak of, outside of a streaming buffer. This would of course go hand in hand with a MobileMe / Lala-powered streaming music service, and result in significant component cost savings (flash memory is still pretty spendy). While this sounds like a beautiful dream, it doesn’t make much sense in 2011. Streaming all your music and other media over a capped 3G connection doesn’t sound very consumer-friendly, and there are still plenty of situations where having a nice offline stash of music is a lifesaver. But there’s a bigger problem: where do you put your apps without local storage? Android’s historic shortage of app storage really bit it in the ass, and we doubt Apple wants to go down that route. Sure, we can see a 4GB or so ultracheap device, with a heavy reliance on streaming media (many people get most of their music from Pandora these days, anyways), but a memory-free iPhone just doesn’t sound feasible at this point in time.

The iPhone nano to forgo local storage? Common sense says ‘no’ originally appeared on Engadget on Mon, 14 Feb 2011 13:44:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

Fun Friday

It’s the iPhone 3G Launch Day today and it wouldn’t be complete without some humor! In about two hours (from the time this posts) at 8 AM, Apple and AT&T Stores in the U.S. will be opening their doors to all of the people willing to sign-up for a two-year contract. We happen to be two of those people willing to buy the iPhone 3G, only because we were able to sell our original iPhones (purchased in Jan. 08′ for $399 ea.) on eBay in the beginning of June for $425 each. We really can’t complain about making money off of our used phones which can go to pay for the increased price for the plans (although for us, the price increase for the family plan is pretty minimal).

Anyway, below you’ll find a few different comics regarding the iPhone or Apple in one way or another. They all come from The Joy of Tech, one of our favorite places for geeky comics! After taking a peak at the comics we’ve gathered up here, definitely checkout their site for a few laughs.

Happy iPhone Launch Day!

The Wall Street Journal has weighed in on rumors of Apple’s smaller iPhone, and citing “people familiar with the matter” the publication says that the rumors are likely true. One such familiar person reportedly saw a device half the size of the iPhone 4, bearing the codename “N97,” and said that the handset will be only about half the size of the original, and at only around half the price too. Amazingly, those anonymous sources continued to divulge information, expressing the idea that Apple could finally make its MobileMe cloud service suite free, and that it just might be the platform from which Apple could finally launch a streaming music platform and lessen the need for all those gigabytes of flash storage in your pocket. We’ll let you know if or when any of that happens, okay?

Update: The WSJ‘s source proved even more talkative after getting an eyeful of the Samsung and Sony announcements this morn; the publication’s article has been updated to read that the device is “significantly lighter” than the iPhone 4, has an “edge-to-edge” touchscreen, and “voice-based navigation” of some sort.
