What I Like And Hate About Tech Blogs

There are certain blogs that I visit on a regular basis, and whilst I enjoy the news they impart and the odd joke, I find a number of them somewhat egotistical and self centered. This is evident from the way in which certain bloggers, rather than referring you to source sites and other external references, instead refer you to previous articles on their own website or elsewhere in the blog. It's annoying to say the least. I've learned, however, to ignore their links and to visit the sites of relevance directly. Come on guys — get your act together. Provide readers with links that are more useful and relevant.

iPhone Fans Launch Sites

With all the hype about Apples future iPhone product sites are starting to appear whcih are centred around the worship and dissemination of information about this convergence device/phone. These sites include:
iPhonic.tv - A new site from Shiny Media who also produce SHINY SHINY, TECH DIGEST, and a few other "cool" tech sites.
http://www.everythingiphone.com/ - A News, Media and Info Site
my-apple-iphone - A Blog based fan site featuring news and info.
myiphone - Another blog which features this overhyped phone.

Although I do agree that the iPhone will appeal to a large number of users, I still think that Apple have messed up an produced an unpolished product. They will no doubt address the issue of 3G and a few other kinks (like email support for Microsoft Exchange and other business email protocols). But lets not forget the biggest functional Faux Pas - the lack of support for Interchangeable Batteries.
