Off topic, but just wanted to mention that I haven't forgotten to post pictures from my recent Alaskan Cruise family vacation, I'm just still in the process of going through thousands of photos and editing them as well. Maybe that explains the migraine I got on Saturday. I'll post them as soon as possible... pinky swear!

iPad?

Apple iPad

I don't know about this one... I'm not jazzed at all about the new iPad coming out by Apple, but maybe it floats other people's boats. I guess I just don't see the point of owning one if it doesn't even support flash... not to mention that the name "iPad" just sounds weird to me. But, if you're a hardcore gadget freak who has to have all the latest gadgets Apple has to offer, find more info about it here!

4th-Gen iPhone in Summer 2010?

Honto???

Recent hints of an upcoming new iPhone model got a boost today thanks to a terse and enigmatic Tweet from a popular mobile-phone blogger, saying only:

Quote:

Foxconn received order for next generation iphone

Foxconn is the manufacturer Apple uses for the iPhone, as well as for the Mac mini and the iPod line.

Rumors have been circulating for the past few months about a fourth-generation iPhone being launched in 2010. Just a few weeks ago, an iPhone carrying the hardware designation "3,1" was spotted on the San Francisco Bay Area transit system. An order placed today would result in manufacturing being ramped up on schedule for an early-summer 2010 launch of the device. If this took place, it would fit perfectly into Apple's history of product launches: the original iPhone was released on June 29th of 2007, with the 3G coming on July 11, 2008 and the 3GS on June 19, 2009. References to an "iPhone3,1" were first discovered in iPhone firmware files back in August, and Apple had similarly begun testing the iPhone 3GS (iPhone2,1) in October of 2008, about 8 months ahead of its launch.

The report comes from Mobile-review’s Eldar Murtazin, the Russian blogger who has had a good history of scoops on new mobile devices. He has, however, no track record when it comes to Apple phones, so it's hard to know how much credibility to place in this report. Murtazin followed up his brief Tweet with another, in reply to a follower, that asserted that the new hardware would support multitasking, further bolstering rumors that the 4G iPhone would be based on a PA Semi processor.

Following the report, the rumor mill churned with speculation about the new phone. A front-facing camera (for video calls) was a popular idea, along with a 1GHz processor, LTE support and a higher resolution display, possibly OLED... even a hardware QWERTY keyboard. Obviously, at this point, nothing is known and little can be inferred to this sketchy assertion.

Foxconn is the trade name of the Taiwan based firm Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. (Ltd.). They are the largest manufacturer of electronics and computer components worldwide, and mainly manufactures on contract to other companies.

Olympus E-P1 Eye Candy...

Olympus E-P1 Review by Akihabara News

My New Best Friend...

My old MacBook Pro's screen crapped out on me this weekend... and right before my upcoming trip to Japan. I took it to the Apple Store in hopes that they could fix it in time for my trip on Thursday.... no luck. Genius Bar said that it seems to be the graphics card that messed up and the logic board will have to be replaced. Thing is... none of the stores in Hawaii have the logic board parts in stock, so my laptop would have to be sent out to the mainland to fix... and it won't be done in time for my trip. Bummahs. SO... after being pretty bummed out about it for the entire afternoon... I began to get a tingly feeling in my stomach... and a little voice in my head told me to buy a new laptop and sell the old one after I fix it. This tingly feeling and little voice was so overpowering that I felt compelled to do it... and thus... my new best friend came home with me from the Apple Store yesterday. I am now the happy owner of a brand new, super sexy Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch Antiglare Widescreen Display, 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM, 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm laptop! Oh, and I forgot to mention that they were having the "$100 rebate" promotion if you buy a printer as well... so I got the $100 HP Photosmart C4680 All-in-One Printer so that I can get my rebate and end up with a free printer in the end. This is great because Dean's studio doesn't have a printer and there have been times that I could have really used one when doing homework there. Phew... glad I got a laptop to take with me to Japan! Thank God for credit cards and student IDs. I love you, MacBook Pro!

Incipio

I recently discovered these great cases made by Incipio. They have cases in various colors for all sorts of gadgets and phones. I got the Ultra Light Feathered Slim Form Fitted Case for my iPhone 3g. I love it because it's not bulky at all... super thin and barely even noticeable... not to mention the pricing is reasonable (half the price of the ones sold at the Apple Store) and shipping is free! If you're looking for a case for your iPhone, iPod, Blackberry, Zune, MacBook or Dsi... look no further and check out what Incipio has to offer!

Nokia E72

The all new Nokia E72 boasts a host of new features including optical scrolling and a five-megapixel camera. Building on the success of the E71, the E72 takes the very best of Nokia’s most successful QWERTY device and makes it even better. The super-slim 10mm frame has been refined with some sleek design touches and inside the device is treated to a range of user interface improvements too.

The optical navigation key makes scrolling through emails a breeze and also helps bounce around the menus quickly and easily. The camera has been upgraded to a full five megapixels and heavy data users will love the support for up to 10.2Mbps connections over HSDPA. The audio jack has also had the upgrade treatment with 3.5mm jack now appearing on the top of the device.

Nokia Messaging is also on board (with a lifetime license) and now supports access and easy set up for Instant Messaging accounts including Yahoo! Messenger, Google Talk and Ovi, amongst others. Email set up is even easier than before through Nokia Messaging, Mail for Exchange and IBM Lotus Notes Traveler.

Sound quality on calls is improved with the addition of active noise cancellation and navigation gets a boost with the addition of a digital compass. Maps is also integrated and comes with a lifetime walk and 10 days of turn-by-turn navigation, if activated within the first three months. You don’t need to be worried about getting caught in the dark either - a single press on the spacebar key will activate the torch!

The Nokia E72 is expected to begin shipping late in the third quarter of 2009

Information from Nokia Conversations

Here's the Nokia E72 commercial by Nokia.

P.S. I recently watched The Hangover in theaters this past weekend, and one of the first things I noticed was that Phil (played by Bradley Cooper) was rocking the Nokia E71 Smart Phone.

Purpleberry!

Finally got my 8900 back from ColorWare! My Blackberry underwent plastic surgery and is now a Purpleberry. I couldn't be happier with the final result!

ColorWare Inc., established in 2000, is an industry leader in altering the color of existing products. ColorWare began with the concept of transforming the ubiquitous beige computer into a custom-colored work of art. The idea began with an attempt to color a late-model cell phone in 1999. After a year of testing and experimenting, the ColorWare high-gloss, scratch-resistant polymer-based coating was perfected. ColorWare’s initial offerings included 22 standard colors available on two mp3 players, three gaming consoles, and four computers, and many new products as well as additional colors have been added in recent years.
