Today we launched our Mobile App at Swap.com and it is available for the iPhone on Apple’s iTunes App Store. We are psyched about this milestone. I have been using pre-release versions of the app for weeks now and I think it is very cool.
I have talked to many other Internet execs at RueLaLa, Kayak, [...]
I have posted many times on this blog that I have become a big fan of the Apple suite of products. My route to this Apple support though is not typical.
I adopted iTunes early and have consolidated our media library there. We loved the iPods and still have one of the original white iPods working. When [...]
Yesterday Steve Jobs talked about the “i-universe” that includes the new iPad, iPhone, iPod, iTunes and now iAds. Apple is on a roll. These stats are amazing.
—On Saturday, 300,000 iPads were sold. As of yesterday, 450,000 were sold.
—4 billion apps have been downloaded from the App store, and there’s 185,000 apps in the store. There’s [...]
Yesterday was iPad Launch Day…not an official holiday…but I am not sure that there has ever been as much enthusiasm about a new consumer technology product. The iPhone launch was big but this was “inside baseball” mostly for the legions of Apple-devoutees. I remember going to wait in line…late…at the local AT&T store on that [...]
Wall Street Journal confirmed the acquisition of LaLa by Apple a few hours ago.

I have tried all sorts of Internet radios over the last several years. Never had one grab me or monopolize my interest.
At the suggestion of a “tweet” on Twitter that said: “With Pandora why does anyone download music to their iPhone…” I got to thinking that maybe this is for me.
Internet radio is surely not [...]
Amazon has launched the Kindle application on the iPhone (and iTouch) today. I know this for sure as I already downloaded it first thing this morning. What a great way to start the day!
All 240,000-plus titles are available on the smaller devices which is nice. What I think is really great though is that Amazon [...]
Back in November 2008 I posted about Nike+ as a positive example of a brand to utilize social media very effectively to create a community, add value with content and tools, extend it’s brand positively and sell some product. I wanted to share with you this video on YouTube that promotes Nike+ and also a new post [...]
Opening the iPhone and the iPod touch to third-party developers has resulted in a glut of games for the devices available through the iTunes App Store. Might Apple’s handhelds rival those from Nintendo and Sony in the field of handheld gaming devices? Key differences between the platforms exist, though it’s clear that the iPhone and [...]
