Hello folks, sorry for the summer absence on the ED blog, but I’m pleased to say that from today the posting will resume once more :) And while there’s plenty of serious matters to discuss and debate (Google Wave flopping, Chrome webstore and Microsoft Kinect launch dates etc etc), I’d like to resume the first post back with something a little lighter for your summer/winter afternoon (depending on your hemisphere).
So, with that in mind, here’s a clip from a recent episode of the popular US talkshow Jimmy Kimmel Live with Justin Long (actor and comedian – you’ll recognise him) in the guest’s chair. US readers will of course also recognise Justin Long as the star of a series of Mac…

Distimo, a European mobile app market analyst, has produced some excellent research this week, showing the state of play regarding app market dynamics right up to June 2010. What’s most interesting about the results is that, while we tend to hear a lot about Apple’s success in delivering apps to iPhone and iPad users, it’s actually Google’s Android that arguably offers users the best value for money, with 57% of apps being free, compared with an average of around 25% for rivals such as Palm, Blackberry, iPhone and Windows phones.
While this might not necessarily be the most exciting news for developers, it is certainly a key piece of info for consumers choosing their next smartphone, and indeed with the latest…

Microsoft communications head Frank Shaw caused somewhat of a stir yesterday when he posted some highly telling statistics about the company – and its rivals – on the official Microsoft blog. Judging by the sheer volume of comment and debate that it has already attracted, I’d say he’s done a pretty good job of trying to set the various doubters straight – even if some of the stats are a little out-of-context.
As anyone following any sort of technology-orientated media sources in recent years will be aware, the likes of Google, Apple, Twitter and Facebook tend to get about three to ten headlines (this is a blatant guess from me, let me know if you disagree) for every one Microsoft is…

Engadget is currently hosting some pretty interesting video highlights of a lengthy Steve Jobs interview from this year’s D8 conference which is currently in full swing in California. The Wall Street Journal has been organising the event for the past seven years and it looks like this, the eighth conference, will be even more high profile than in previous years. Since its fully sold out however, I thought I’d do the courteous thing and link the videos here for all those that are unable to attend D8 in person.
So basically, if you fancy hearing what Jobs has to say on everything from the missing iPhone to Google and Android, click over to Engadget for their nicely organised highlights.
D8 is due to…

Oh dear – things are getting worse and worse by the day for the careless Apple developer who left an iPhone 4G prototype in a bar after popping in for just a few quiet drinks. (For those who are new to the story, all you need to know can be found here, and then here). In short, Apple have compounded the initial individual blunder by taking rather excessive action in attempting to retrieve the phone – by having Gizmodo editor, Jason Chen’s, house searched and property seized – due to the belief that he had been sent the phone by the original finder.
Now, for a company which spends a lot of cash trying to look nice in expensive TV adverts,…
