$22.98. Is this the biggest single day drop ever? It has to be; I don't recall losing this much money in a single day. Is the worst over? I doubt it. AAPL will probably sink even lower before it will rise again. And rise it will, as surely as the sun after a long, cold night. I've bought Apple stocks cheaper than $22.98 in the past, and if you're willing to put a little faith in "the fruit company," it will reward you when it's time to harvest.

AAPL: 105.26

Yes, but only in Hong Kong. For HK$6,200, you can buy a 16G unlocked 3G iPhone without having to sign up with 3 Hong Kong, the official service provider. At this price, the iPhone isn't inexpensive; it might actually be cheaper with a 2-year contract with 3 HK. But for those who are already locked into another provider, now they have the option to buy the iPhone outright, without needing to go through unauthorized channels, and get support directly from Apple. Choice is always good.

It's pricey, but I took the leap. iBlogger, a US$9.99 blogging app for the iPhone, works with different blog engines in one app. I have a WordPress and Movable Type blog, and both work in iBlogger. Yes, WordPress has a free app, and Movable Type has an iPhone plugin (iMT), but if you're used to working with a desktop blogging app, then this might fit you better. In fact, iBlogger is based on the very popular Mac blogging client, ecto.

As I'm writing my first post in iBlogger, I find the editing and linking a bit clumsy. But for a first iteration software on a new platform, it's good enough. .

Let's hope having a mobile client will make me want to blog more.
