When Kindle first came out, I thought it was a cool little gadget. I love to read and I blast through a lot of books. After sitting in front of a computer for 9 plus hours a day, my eyes are tired and reading is sometimes difficult in the evening. Yea, I am getting old.
Kindle DX
I tried audio books, but it’s just not the same. So, I am thinking maybe this new Kindle is the way to go.

Well, I have not written much in the past couple of weeks. I guess you could say I have been busy! We are in the middle of corporate site reviews and it is taking up most of my time. If you don’t believe me, take a look at this picture of my desk. Yes, I am a neat freak!
My nice clean desk!

It wasn’t too long ago that our mobile web numbers meant nothing. The users numbered in the dozens and did not impact ournumbers for web visits or ad impressions at all. I am all about our numbers here at WPRI.com!
Things are different today!

OK, so the 3.0 update for iPhone is scheduled for release TODAY. It is now after 9AM and no sign of the update! I got up at 5:30 this morning to get ready for work. The first thing I did was check for the update, but I was not surprised it was not there. But now I want my update!
Here is what 3.0 will do for you:

This from iLounge.com:
AT&T has announced that the upgrade prices for iPhone 3G S will be $399 (16GB) or $499 (32GB) for customers who are still under contract after purchasing the prior-generation iPhone 3G, a $200 premium over the “standard” iPhone 3G S prices of $199 and $299. Using a pricing configurator found on Apple’s BuyiPhone.Apple.com web site, users can find out their individual upgrade prices based on the remaining length of their AT&T contracts, which may be higher or lower depending on the date of their prior upgrades. Users must commit to a new two-year contract; an $18 Activation fee and a $18 Early Upgrade fee are also assessed. More details to come.

I just watched the guided tour. Yes, it is VERY cool. Although, the phone looks exactly the same, so at least I won’t have that coolness envy! The base 3G(S) is $199, and the 3G drops to $99. This from Apple:

The keynote address is going on right now. I thought I would give you all a look at some of the more notable parts of the speach having to do with iPhone. These notes are provided by ilounge.com.
***As I type this, the new iPhones have not been announced yet. I will post a new article tomorrow detailing whatever comes out of the speach. Rumors are the new phones will be faster, with twice the RAM, and twice the storage. Oh…and a video camera, 3 mp lens…

I have always loved photography. Years ago I had a Pentax SLR. I would shoot a roll of photos, then take the roll to a camera store and wait for the call saying my pictures were finished. Some were good, lots were OK, many were terrible. I had to pay for them even if they were out of focus and horrible. I went through a few more portable, but traditional cameras until one day I decided to go digital.
