While I’m still an avid Palm user ( I presently use the Palm Centro phone), it saddens me to see that the pace of software development for Palm OS devices has slowed down dramatically in just a few years. It’s also annoying that recently available iPhone applications appear to be more attractively priced than most Palm OS applications :p So it was nice to see efforts like MobileHeist coming along Even more exciting though is the beautiful form factor for…
Whoever could have imagined when the iMac was first introduced by Steve Jobs 10 years ago that it would evolve into something like this? Throughout its many incarnations, the iMac has never ceased to amaze with its unique visual looks and ease of use. Enjoy a video of Steve Jobs’ introduction of the very first iMac way back on 15th August 1998!
