I hit MacWorld 2008 with my friend Doug and we brought our video camera along. We never saw Randy Newman (or the Keynote) but we did meet some online celebrities, dance in a sound booth, and find out why we're not chic enough for female-centric laptop bags.

The good is the iPhone is unlocked and works for voice calls on other GSM networks. The iPod works, the WiFi works, all that stuff works. The bad is it doesn't work with all EDGE data plans:

NK from PBCentral has an extensive video up covering the new iPod nano. It's pretty amazing - from Cover Flow to video playback, it's kind of absurd how slick this tiny little thing is. Check it out.

With all geeky eyes locked on San Francisco, CA for this morning's Apple media event, the tech rumor mill has been in overdrive for the past week or so wondering What Will Steve Do (Next)?

Event invitations and media leaks all point towards music-related product announcements, and Jobs' own comments at an Apple Town Hall meeting a few months ago foreshadowed a new iPod running the OS X operating system.

Brian Lam over at Gizmodo got a hands-on preview of Amazon's new Under $100 Computer. As he put it, "I got time with the Zonbu, a $99 Linux PC that is amazingly as simple to use as a Mac."

The bring your own keyboard, monitor, and mouse (a la Mac mini) machine comes pre-installed with a bunch of open source software and uses Amazon's S3 network storage service for everything, caching data to the included 4GB Compact Flash card. Lam's assessment after a few days with Zonbu? "This machine syncs, swaps, and backs up your data automatically, over the wire. I love it."
