Tuesday, January 06, 2009Apple Introduces Revolutionary New Laptop With No Keyboard
They should come out with 2 wheels for your left and right hand instead LOL. That will certainly make you look like a DJ...
Buying an iPod or MacBook? Stop right there!
Saturday, September 06, 2008Because Apple is expected to released new iPod nano and new iPod touch. They are expected to be cheaper, since current price is abit high as compared to the iPhone.
As for MacBooks, Apple could be coming out with newer designs. Aluminium seems to be the theme, with some pictures of a possible MacBook casing.
This would certainly be an improvement from the current plastic casing of MacBook, which do experiences some problems such as decolourisation of the casing at places where you placed your wrist. It would most probably follow the design of the MacBook Air. Hopefully, there will be an upgrade in specs.
Also coming up, "Apple is also planning to refresh its line of 20- and 24-inch iMac seasons ahead of the holidays." Here's is a roadmap from AppleInsider.
iPhone 3G in S'pore
Friday, August 22, 2008(above picture from unwiredview.com)
The iPhone 3G has reached Singapore! I was reading an article from TODAY about the iPhone. It was a nice article which briefly discuss the pros and cons of iPhone. I decided to do a quick summary of the article, because many people do not seem to be aware of the shortcomings of iPhone, which may be shocking to some.
Pros
- 3.5G
- 2MP camera
- Can pair iPhone with wireless headset
- Integration with iTunes ("If you lose the phone, you can get a new one and restore it with the latest backup, with all yoru settings intact")
- A "central device for mobile media consumption"
- features of phone, desktop-grade Web browsing and email
- Apple commited in bug fixing and feature additions
- App Store like a "Swiss Army knife", allows limitless applications to broaden the phone's functions (think open source)
- Good performance in 3G and calls
- Battery yielded decent 8-10 hours
- Can't forward SMS
- Can't create SMS group
- Can't send MMS
- Cannot delete individual messages, have to delete whole conversation threads
- No copy and paste (people who love to forward SMS will have a hard time)
- No video calls (Yes, its 3.5G...)
- Cannot capture video (shocked?)
- Cannot transfer files from iPhone to another device via Bluetooth (no more "Can BT me some games?)
- Heavy utiilisng push emal and viewing media intensively drained battery life to three hours (not really a con, but something to take note of)
- Can't use as an exernal storage device
- May be troublesome for people with long fingernails
