MacWorld 2007 was an interesting one. There really wasn\u2019t much new for the Mac, but there was plenty of big announcements for Apple. The biggest one being the iPhone.<\/p>\n

<\/a>The iPhone looks like it will be a big hit for Apple, and 2007\u2019s \u201cmust have\u201d device for the digerati. Yes, it\u2019s a bit pricey, but for what it does, it\u2019s not all that expensive. It\u2019s almost a computer replacement, and it costs much less than a laptop. At least the hardware part. I\u2019m very curious what kind of phone plan will be required to use the iPhone. I hope that Cingular won\u2019t be like Verizon and require an expensive data subscription in order to use an iPhone on their network.

At a special reception on Wednesday, a new Apple-sponsored scholarly journal was announced, called \u201cAcademic Intersections.\u201d This new peer-reviewed online journal will provide a venue for research that pushes the boundaries of technology, pedagogy and scholarship. The first issue should be out by this summer, and I hope to contribute something worthwhile to the journal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
