With all this talk of Apple working on a table Mac what if that really isn’t entirely the case. It’s something I’ve been thinking about ever since the subject was brought up. There’s been lots of speculation, rumor from unknown sources, rumor from so called trusted sources and yet we still have no concrete evidence to prove it. Don’t get me wrong I believe Apple to be the master of keeping secrets so I may be dead wrong.
Now, what I’ve been thinking about is… Read More »
This past weekend my daughter was playing her favorite game of Pocket God on my iPhone. Somehow during that time the inevitable happened (when you mix kids with expensive gadgets)… system crash. The result of this was rather odd as the small home screen icons were enlarged to nearly 2″ x 2″ in size. Scrolling was minimal at best and even a reset did nothing but make unlocking the iPhone impossible. The only option left open was to do a complete restore. The problem here which I found out only afterward was that it reinstalled the same corrupted backup. The only full backup registered by iTunes before this was back in October just under a month ago. This was not looking good at all. Read More »
I don’t often have major gripes about software updates but this one has really gotten under my skin. The iPhone OS 3.1 update was officially released on Sept.9, 2009. While it brings a handful of good features it also broke a rather important pre-existing function. Anyone who uses smart playlists in iTunes knows how great that function can be to customize playlists to your liking. Now, after installing the iPhone OS 3.1 update, this is no longer the case on the iPhone side of things. Read More »
With WWDC behind us, there’s been lots of debate over whether or not this new iPhone 3G S is a worthwhile upgrade. So let’s take a step back from all the hype, relax a minute and take a quick look at what some of the new hardware/software combination has to offer and try to put it all into perspective.
Starting with the hardware the iPhone 3G S will come in two flavors. A 16GB and a 32GB model, both running the new iPhone OS 3.0 software. Along with that each one will also have the following hardware:
• 600MHz ARMv7 processor
• 256MB DDR RAM
• PowerVR SGX graphics chip
• 7.2Mbps HSPA compliant cell chip
• 3.0MP auto-focus camera
• Magnatometer (compass)
• Oil-resistant screen coating (oleophobic)
• Improved battery life (approx 1.5) Read More »
It’s now officially one week later and I have spent quite a few hours with the new Motorola Motorokr S9-HD Bluetooth Stereo Headset. During this time I used them no different than any other headset I own and use on a regulat basis. So starting with the fit of the headset after prolonged use I feel comfortable to say that they are fantastic. At no time did I feel any fatigue from wearing them for 2 hours or more as I usually do. The S9-HD grips to the side of your head to stay in position similar to a pair of Oakley sunglasses as they don’t need to rest on the ear. The rubberized inner portion of the headset did a good job of preventing the headset from slipping and bouncing around. It was pretty much stable during walks and brief runs down the street and even running up and down stairways. There was also no ear fatigue from the earbuds which are also comfortable and hold up well during long periods of use. They are not going to fit every ear but when they do it makes listen to music quite enjoyable. Read More »
