Apple TV Under The Hood
Looking at an OS dump doesn’t always translate to the final live interaction and exploration experience but it does offer tantalizing hints as to what is to come and what will be possible for those willing to start programming and hacking. In this case, Apple TV’s sneak peak provides two promises. First, that the system itself will be somewhat customizable and programmable for people who wish to extend its use beyond the built-in features. Second, that we’re looking at the future of OS X installs. Apple TV’s iOS shows that non-mobile devices without touch screens can leverage iOS’s newer, more modern frameworks without sacrificing general computability.
10.7 can’t be announced soon enough.

iAds - 21% of Mobile Market by Year’s End?
First let me take a minute to point something out. A few weeks ago Carol Bartz, Yahoo! CEO, told Reuters the iAd system will “fall apart for them.” Boo hoo Yahoo. Okay, let’s move on, but nice try Carol!
By the end of 2010, Apple is predicted to have matched Google in the percent of ads in the mobile market at 21%. According to Bloomberg Businessweek, “Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo! have swiftly lost share in the U.S. mobile advertising market to Apple’s new iAd(s).” Google’s share will drop to 21 percent, from 27 percent last year. Yahoo will drop to 9 percent, from 12 percent last year. Microsoft will drop to 7 percent, from 10 percent. (numbers by researcher IDC) Read more

Does App Store.app Need Queuing & Download Progress?→
Does App Store.app Need Queuing & Download Progress?
If only there was an “Add to Queue” option, that adds the desired application to a list of apps to be downloaded when a WiFi connection is established. The apps would automatically download when you get home, back to the office, etc.
Another issue I have with the App Store’s downloading process is that it forces you out of the App Store itself when you choose to download an application. Why does it need to send the user back to their Home screen? If the user is interested in placing the new app in a specific position/folder, they can do this when they choose to leave or are done shopping.
I wholeheartedly agree with this. Much needed features.
