Apple Rumors
Apple speculation and gossip.
A few months ago, AT&T changed its wireless data rates, essentially killing unlimited data on smartphones. That rate change has had a direct effect on the usage of my iPhone and the amount of money I'm paying each month.

According to a survey released by Apple watcher Gene Munster at Piper Jaffray, the antenna issues cost the company a decent amount of business over the summer. But it wasn't what hurt it the most in the U.S. That was the lack of a Verizon option.

Our future is wireless at high speeds anywhere we'd like. This may be a decade away and if carriers make wireless data truly unlimited this will be a reality, but it scares me for a few reasons that simply can’t be fixed by technology.

There are many Mac applications which will sit on your desktop and display cover art as well as give some controls such as play/pause, next, etc. But since the recent release of iTunes 10, one application does this better than any other, and that's iTunes itself.

The Apple iPad recently became available to ship within 24 hours for the first time since it began production in April. It looks like that might be due to a ramp up in production on the part of Apple's manufacturing partners, not a dwindling of interest.

Almost every year, Apple releases a new version of iTunes with some new feature. Last year it was Home Sharing. This year, it's Ping. Apple also usually tweaks the UI, many times creating a backlash. This year Apple has outdone itself.

So is Apple TV still only a hobby for Jobs and company? Because if it isn't, then I'm missing something from yesterday's presentation. The new Apple TV is smaller, cheaper and sexier, I'll grant it that, but what else does it really have going for it?

AirPlay was one of the most nebulous topics up for discussion at today's special press event regarding iOS, iPods, iTunes and Apple TV. In many ways, it's something we already know a lot about, since it's the successor to AirTunes. In others, it's a mystery.
