Engadget had a photoshop competition about What Would Jobs Do this Apple announcement. Some of the entries are really good, and many are far fetched. Here are some of my favorites.

My roomie has talked about wanting something like this for a while now:

This is a possibility at today’s event:

This would kick some major ass:

Finally I would kill for one of these:

This is quite far fetched, but there are rumors that Bose will come out with a iPod type device on their March 2nd announcement. I HIGHLY doubt this.

If anything, they will come out with a better iPod SoundDock to compete with a new Apple iPod HiFi speaker dock, or maybe they partnered to create it. Apple did used to feature Bose SoundDock’s in the front window of their stores.

Today only at IHOP(r) from 7am till 2pm. It apparently is Shrove Tuesday or National Pancake Day.

Too bad I won’t be able to make it, but still a good deal.

Well that is tomorrow, unless you are reading this and it isn’t today…wait, nevermind. It’s going to be a very long and interesting day, to say the least. Here’s why:

Well of course there is the BIG Apple “fun new products” announcement. Which I will be trying to cover as fast as I possibly can from various other news sites and IRC chat rooms.

Also, it’s a Tuesday, so I have dinner with my parents, and then go and record Nobody Likes Onions.

But I will have a shadow, or a few tomorrow. Let me explain a bit. I had an interview with Chase Squires of the St. Petersburg Times a few weeks ago. We talked about portable video, iPods, PSP’s, Media Center, podcasts, and many other types of digital media.

The next day he wrote me an email describing what will transpire tomorrow. “I’d love to spend a full day with you…[to] see how it fits together.” [referring to my use of technology in my daily life]“…you’d be the face of new media, as it weaves into your day.”

Well so tomorrow is just as good a day as any, especially with so many things going on. I think he wants to capture that I’m not just sitting at home watching Tv, and playing with my gadgets all the time.

Either way, it is a unique experience, and he’ll be around almost the entire day. I will make sure to post when I have more details about when a story is posted or what becomes of it.

Google is to launch purchases.google.com to compete with PayPal..

If you try the link, it does take you to your Google account instead of showing a dead link. Hrm…

After this weekend and seeing many people using their Blackberry (after the Judge decided not to shut them down, yet), I began to re-think my stance on my Sidekick. Now I’ve been a Sidekick user since they came out. Black and white, color, then Sidekick 2, and it has been the best cell phone I’ve ever used.

The Blackberry has all of the features of the Sidekick as far as I can tell. It even has the ability to add in programs, unlike the Sidekick which is locked down.

There is Gtalk and Gmail programs on the Blackberry as well, which I would certainly be using.

Also there is 2 models of Crackberries that T-Mobile has. I am leaning towards the full keyboard model, because I really have never seen a “learning” keyboard work well.

Anyone have any thoughts? I know there are TONS of Blackberry users out there. Anyone used a SK and BlackBerry? I’m really thinking of switching.

Two questions for Blackberry users: does AIM have the full 200 list of buddies or only a mobile list of 30, and can you see the person’s away message w/o im’ing them?
