Leopard is available

for pre-order.. that is according to an email I got from Amazon. At first glance it seemed too good to be true and sure enough it was. Personally I am kind of tired of the pre-order thing, Halo 3 on order 8 months before it is out and now this.

Also I noticed that Amazon states it will lower the price if it does indeed happen, but do they raise it as well like the airlines do?

Now as far as the Leopard OS is concerned it looks very good and soon enough I will write my thoughts on it. I have been following this release from many angles, but this action by Amazon just struck me as a little misleading.. kind of like this posts title. :)

iPhone — my pre-launch thoughts

Well with the launch of the iPhone on the horizon I figured I would add my thoughts into the pool. First impression I wanted to pre-order that new phone, but after stepping back and looking at what it had to offer I began to really second guess myself.

The first gen phone won’t be 3G, only touchpad, no instant messengers, no mms and the list of not-available goes on. Then there is the fact it is rev 1 of Apple hardware.. just think back to the MacBook Pro’s.. need I say more. The other sticking point is the rumor that Cingular won’t be offering a no-plan purchase.. that leaves me right out as I am NOT resigning a contract.

I will update my thoughts once it is released and my good friend will be getting one so I can post back some first hand use info come end of June.

Flex 3 and Adobe AIR now in the labs

Adobe just announced the Flex 3 and Adobe AIR betas which can both be downloaded from the Adobe Lab. This is a big thing since it seemed like Apollo (now AIR) was slowing down but this should change that quickly.
