Cosmote: iPhone 3GS is also coming on July the 31st!

The bad thing is that both Cosmote and Vodafone Hellas did not announce the prices of iPhone 3GS either with or without a contract!

Nevertheless, I cannot wait for iPhone 3GS!

Logitech V550 nano mouse


As my previous mouse failed later this week (actually, only the scroll wheel button failed–it could not click any more), I bought a new one: a Logitech V550 nano which is a cordless laser mouse.

This is the first time that I have a cordless mouse and I really like it so far.

If you want to learn the nuts and bolts of the UNIX operating system, then you should, without doubt, read this book. It is an advanced book but it is highly recommended.

HP releases classic calculators as iPhone apps!

HP releases iPhone versions for two of its classic calculators, 15c and 12c!


Although they are not cheap, the 15c (scientific calculator) version costs 23,99 euros and the 12c (financial calculator) version costs 11,99 euros, they are impressive!

(after) WWDC 2009 thoughts

  • It is really nice that new iPhones (3GS) were announced. I will get one as soon as they officially come to Greece.
  • I really like the fact that Snow Leopard is cheap and will be available by the end of September 2009.
  • Kudos to Apple for supporting Greek Spelling in Snow Leopard (better late than never!).
  • I really hope that my mobile telephone company will support data tethering. Vodafone Greece already supports it!
  • I was not expecting new MacBook(s) and MacBook Pro(s) but it is nice that they are cheaper, have better batteries and are more powerful!
I cannot wait to start programming for iPhone 3.0. I really liked iPhone 2.0 (from a programmer's perspective) and I think that iPhone 3.0 is even better!
