Verizon Attacks/Smears Apple and Loses Chance at iPhone!!! NEW COMMERCIAL INCLUDED!!!!!

Posted on 26 October 2009 by Nikelis2

Verizon recently released a new commercial advertising a new phone they are planning on releasing in November called the “Droid”, this commercial starting a new smear campaign against the iPhone to glorify their own new “Droid” in hopes of making it #1, the first successor to the mighty iPhone.

 

In my personal opinion, this was dumb. Verizon should worry about being the #1 carrier whether  the phone that gets them there is an original cell phone to it’s carrier or one that has known another one before. My first post on this site was about the iPhone possibly moving to Verizon, and at the time, it was probable as Apple and Verizon were in talks of bringing the iPhone to Verizon, but I must revoke what I said now. The iPhone was going to take Verizon a long way, but enough of my guff, let’s get onto what we are all here for, THE COMMERCIAL!!!!!!!

Review of OtterBox Sport Package for ipod touch 2g and 3g

Posted on 12 October 2009 by wroachbarrette

I have been using the OtterBox Armor case for about two and a half weeks and I have to say I am impressed with its overall protection, it is without a dough the most protective case I have ever seen for an ipod touch or any ipod. But as with any case there are a few weakness, one being the lack of sleep wake button support, volume rocker support, or speaker support. The reason why I don’t think these features have been included would either have had to do with the waterproof support or the protection support the case offers. But regardless It is still a very good product. It comes with a few extras as well, such as water-proof headphones and an arm strap for running and swimming. The price of this package is $50.00 so I give this case about an 8.5/10. If you would like a more in-depth review you may watch the video below

and once again thank you OtterBox for sending me this case please check them our for great protective cases

Why the New iPod Touch didn’t Get a Camera.

Posted on 11 September 2009 by Nikelis2

A lot were upset when the new iPod Touch didn’t include a much-expected camera. Now some people wished against it as They must pay $30 a month to mantain their iPhone, while a camera just makes the iPod too much like the iPhone for free. I agree with this as I have an iPhone 3G S and have to give an arm and a leg to keep it for data I barely use, but what are ya gonna do?

Basically, after the main keynote, Steve Jobs was in an interview where an answer to a question was given that explained it all.

They asked him why, and he said that it was the “funnest iPod ever” and was made to be a great game machine. They thought that while it is free for the month, they wanted as many people to buy it as possible  because of it’s great interface, and adding a camera would’ve made that impossible.

To add a whole new hardware upgrade(as well as software for use with the camera) would’ve have cost more to manufacture and develop, and for a half-successful business to take place, it would also have meant for the buyers to pay more. At the keynote, they dropped the price from $229.99 for the 8GB, it is now $199, along with adding a 64 GB model, and it would have been way more than the first price of $230 to get it if it had included the camera.

Did Apple do us a favor? Yes and no. On one hand, they did take away our camera, on the other, all they wanted for as many pockets to have an iPod Touch as possible, which would’ve been impossible had there been a camera. Do you think they were smart to do this? Leave a comment and tell me.

In-Depth Snow Leopard Review

Posted on 08 September 2009 by iBellix

On August 28th, Apple released their new operating system Snow Leopard, 10.6. Based on Canadian Prices… For $35.00 you can upgrade from Leopard the previous version of the operating system to Snow Leopard. The family pack, which gives you 5 licenses, is $59.00. Personally I think Apple did a great job on pricing for Snow Leopard. In the past upgrade from Tiger to Leopard was $169.00. $39.00 for an OS upgrade is a very affordable price for everyone. Now when Apple upgraded from Tiger to Leopard there where big changes. Dock was now 3D, menu bar was completely changed and a lot more features, styles and icons where changed. That upgrade from Tiger to Leopard was $169.00. Leopard to Snow leopard is $39.00 that seems like your not getting a lot. Design wise it was not upgraded that much, but when I say it wasn’t upgraded much there were some upgrades that many of you don’t see. The menu bar to me is a lot brighter, QuickTime 10 icon was revamped and if I may say myself it looks brilliant. There is quite a bit more but I don’t want to tell you everything about the OS. Because I want you to explore some of these new design features yourself.
But all the refinements for Snow Leopard are all under the hood. The entire OS is now 64-bit, meaning applications can address mass amounts of ram and other tasks go faster. The finder has been totally re-written in cocoa. Adding on to the greatness, threes now Exchange support in Mail, iCal, and Address Book, making Mac a player with major corporations.

The installation is amazing. It was the easiest install I have ever done. You pop in the install disc, select the drive you want to install it on, then hit install for an upgrade. 45 minutes later you restart and you have the full OS. Now there is the option of doing the clean install and that is on the bottom left of the install screen, look for customize. Now on the box and at WWDC they said that once you installed Snow Leopard you would get back 6GB of Hard Drive space. Personally I got 20GB, and I heard people were getting anywhere from 10 to 20GBs back.
There are also some minor tweaks in the program expose.The biggest new feature is holding down on an app’s icon, triggers Expose for that applications window,
Another great tweak is stacks. When you go into stacks and you click a folder it doesn’t lead you to the finder, it keeps you in the stack. Cocoa rewrite definitely improved things for finder. Live file previews are real nice. You can now read a file, watch a video, peek at things without having to open an app or even hit the space bar for a Quick look. It is a big perk for me. Now that’s about it for finder. It’s not like its re-designed in a design way but everything in finder is a lot quicker and snappier. It has essentially zero lag.

QuickTime 10 changed quite a bit for me. It has a really nice new dark interface. With a title bar, fast forward, play etc. that all disappears through playback. Now Quick Time 10 comes with Video recording which you can trim right in Quick Time just like the iPhone 3GS, which is nice because you can quick upload to YouTube without importing into iMovie to trim. It also comes with Screen Recording, and Audio recording, which is definitely a nice feature. Now Video and Audio may not be new for some of you who owned QuickTime Pro, but for everyone who didn’t it’s sure nice to have. Safari 4, the big changes are 64bit support, which translates into faster JavaScript performance. Now Apple said that Safari 4 shouldn’t crash as much. But when it first came it out I used it, crashed all the time, so I have cold feet and am sticking with Firefox. Speed has been great for me. Some applications that I open would do 2 or 3 bounces in the dock, some of them are now down to 1 or 2. Which makes a whirl of difference for people who have to get stuff done. Everything is a lot zippier, and the charts back it up.
Do some of these new “dark” style designs give to any hint of Apple’s next OS, definitely. But we will have to just wait and see.

The Big Question: Is Snow Leopard right for you, the word is YES. I think Snow Leopard is well worth the upgrade. For $39.00 just do it. I would recommend Snow Leopard to everyone. Speed and design is everything in a computer. Apple has successfully fulfilled that and more.

iPhone going to Verizon Wireless?

Posted on 06 September 2009 by Nikelis2

As we all know, AT&T’s exclusitivity contract with Apple and the iPhone ends in 2010. As far as where the Apple iPhone will go, is completely unknown and as of, unpredictible. So far millions have changed carriers carelessly just to get a precious iPhone to call their own and the audience is still growing.

This great phone has sold over 20 million copies to date, and any carrier will be blessed to have exclusitivity with it, where as Apple might have other plans. Some say that Apple will no longer offer exclusivity to any carrier and will start the manufacturing of both GSM and CDMA iPhones. This will allow iPhone’s to the users of SIM cards and CDMA data input, and thus, users of all carriers. This will be the greatest thing that could happen to the people that would murder for the iPhone but can’t financially, as they’re not AT&T. So if you’re a user of any other carrier besides AT&T and want an iPhone but can’t, I have one word for you, wait. The deal with AT&T ends next year, hopefully around the time of the summer keynote of 2010 so when it is possible, it will be with a new iPhone! Now don’t live by this for a while as this is a personal prediction of mine and really nobody knows what Apple will do next, not even Apple!

Not much can be said and we will just have to wait and see what happens next.
