As we wait patiently with baited breath (and wallets burning) for the iPad (insert joke here) to grace the world with its presence I was asked this question:

Hey, I have an iPhone that I play games on. If I get an iPad in addition to the iPhone, what happens to my game data? Does it stay in sync?

Interesting question. How will Apple handle the iPad? Will it be a companion to the iPhone and share data or will it be a standalone device? Surely Apple had to consider such a scenario. Hmmmm. Will iTunes sync data? MobileMe? Or SOL?

H.J. Heinz Co. is unveiling the first major packaging change to the to-go ketchup packets in 40 years. The new design has a base that is like a cup for dipping and also a tear-off end for squeezing.

Neat!

I must admit, if a few applications I rely on (such as LogMeIn) were to move over to Android I think I would use the Nexus One over the iPhone.

year ago, Sling Media, a subsidiary of EchoStar, introduced a nifty application for the Apple iPhone that allowed users with a Slingbox at home to watch and control their home television signal from their handsets.

The only problem: AT&T said that such a bandwidth-intensive video service would overwhelm its network, so it limited the application to work only over an iPhone’s Wi-Fi connection. TV lovers and techies worldwide cried out in anguish.

But all that is about to change. AT&T announced Thursday morning that it will now allow the SlingPlayer iPhone app to stream live over its 3G network.

“Since mid-December 2009, AT&T has been testing the app and has recently notified Sling Media — as well as Apple — that the optimized app can run on its 3G network,” said the carrier in a press release.

Sling, in addition to various consumer groups, had complained to the Federal Communications Commission that AT&T’s policy was discriminatory, since other applications, such as Major League Baseball’s, also stream live video over AT&T’s 3G network.

AT&T appears to have recognized that its position was indefensible and relented.

Nothing like the words “relented” and “indefensible” in the morning!

Ok, is it me or if you question Steve Jobs all knowingness he will put you in your corner. Poor ol’ Mossberg seems to have awoken the ire of el’ Jobs-o.

Sorting through my personal technology collection (Yes, I DO have a sizable technology collection), I stumbled across these beauties. Ah, remember those days…

I now think there is enough interest to build it. This is a free service, that I will provide no support for. Experiment23 takes no responsibility for any problems, errors or charges you (the user) may incur as this is a freeware third party product.
