Thursday, February 24th, 2005, by kurisu

To paraphrase Slashdot’s Taco, and hammer on the rumors that were flying about prior to this announcement of the iPod mini :
“no bluetooth. no color screen. no more firewire or AC adapter. lame.”
Only nice thing : 18 hours of battery life.
Am I the only one to think that recently, Apple has much less sex-appeal than [...]

In short, it’s not possible. However it is a much needed function. But if you take iTunes “as-is”, the whole architecture would have to be twisted a lot to fulfill the above requirements. Enter “iTunes Server Edition”…

It’s that time for me again… I need a new cell phone. Mine is 3 years old and shot to hell. Ok, it might be due to the fact it went through many drunken nights of clients entertainment, constant charging on my desk, etc…

I wonder what’s Hello Kitty’s handicap… :)
