No comparison…
With yesterday’s news of Apple’s July release of the 3G iPhone I had to stop and reflect on how much of an apple addict I’ve become over the past year. Looking forward to the release of a phone that 3 times faster and three times cheaper than the previous version is truly remarkable.
One of my favorite features of an Apple product:
Cover Flow.
With the digitization of music as a commodity, and the rapid replacement of Mp3 players over any other medium, you might think album artwork would be dead. If there’s no tangible album, where can you put the artwork on? Apple not only solved the problem, but they created a magnificent platform that might rescuscitate the beauty of album artwork. Cover flow is dangerously addicting and and time consuming for perfectionist types, but flipping through my digitized music collection by artwork was something I never thought I could do. I own a considerable record collection in Oakland (and in New York), and always regret not being able to enjoy the vinyl cover more since I refer to my digital music collection more than my vinyl, or cassettes and CDs.
