CURRENT NEWS ITEM: IPHONE APPLICATION: THE DIY DEVELOPERS
In the embryonic days of computers, the world of software was dominated by callow youths in their bedrooms – or in Bill Gates' case, a garage – with some of the greatest names in software starting with little more than a book on coding and a lot of free time. Yet as software became big business, the bedroom developer all but disappeared. No longer could one person produce a commercially viable title – instead teams of programmers and marketers were needed.

Google is updating its iPhone search application with a new voice search feature, according to the New York Times. The update is expected to be available in the iTunes app store sometime today. Users will be able to speak their questions into the phone. The speech is recorded and sent to Google servers which will try to understand the recording and find the answer via Google's search engine. One of the cool parts of the app is that it will use the iPhone accelerometer to know when a user has raised the phone to their ear. For the iPhone-less, the accelerometer senses motion. There's a bunch of games that use this feature for their apps. So if you ever see an iPhone user making weird motions, that's why. The update wasn't yet available in my iTunes, but I'm looking forward to checking it out when it is. Oh, I should mention that Google isn't the first to bring voice search to mobile. Microsoft and Yahoo already have brought voice search to some devices. But a search in the iTunes store didn't reve ...

With their "New Platforms Fund," the company will give up to 10 "cutting edge" ideas (they're not talking iFart here) $1,000-$3,000 each to develop into the alpha stage, and take minor equity stakes as they grow, too. "The fund will focus on innovation that has low barriers for mainstream adoption as we find that all too often, innovation is too far ahead of the adoption curve," said Darren Herman, principal of Herman Blackbook, in a statement. "We know we cannot fund every idea through our door and our investment philosophy is not for everyone, but should that golden egg exist that falls beyond our investment scope, our Hb network of angel investors and venture capitalists will come in handy." readmore

This is the fifth time I've rewritten this article. I didn't like the first four efforts because they made me sound like either a puling Apple hater or an Apple apologist. I like to think that I'm neither. When Apple does something good then I should write about it as quickly as I might if they've done something stupid. At least, that's what I've aimed for.

Perhaps the worst thing about my iPhone 3G -- if there is a worst thing about it -- is the abysmal battery life. Given the way I use it -- with 3G turned on, Bluetooth turned on, WiFi turned on, plus making and receiving calls all day long and often playing iPhone games or reading text between calls -- it's no surprise that even if my battery is fully charged at dawn, it is nearly depleted by mid-afternoon.
