Steve Jobs

Now Is the Time to Believe Even Harder in the Circle Of Apple – Even Without Steve Jobs

admin

Steve Jobs was a great man. A man that truly understood what was important when it came to technology. A visionary. A legend. And there’s no one in the world that can take those things away from him. You don’t have to be an Apple fanboy or fangirl to realize the impact that Mr. Jobs has had on the industry at large.

But guess what? The industry is going to move forward, and Apple is going to follow suit. You’re not going to see Apple die a slow death just because its founder passed away. We will miss Steve and his rants, raves, lectures, and convictions over his company’s technology. However, there is going to be even more innovations from Apple, because Apple is more than just Steve Jobs. There are thousands and thousands of people behind the Apple machine. What’s more to the point is that Tim Cook is a competent leader that also has visions for the company. He served as CEO while Steve Jobs took medical leaves of absences, so it’s quite possible that he will rise to even higher expectations as he now has the reins to the company for good.

There’s a lot of talk online about giving up Apple products or even selling Apple stock. Why — why would you sell something that is sure to go up? There’s a lot of focus on Apple right now in the midst of Jobs’ passing, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy the technology that’s already here.

We’re Apple fans that definitely believe that the company will continue to put out good stuff. The IPad 2 is on point. The iPhone 5 is going to be incredible — after all, it’s an established platform now. There’s no reason why you wouldn’t expect a 5th generation piece of technology to be incredible.

It’s just time for Apple fans and even Apple critics to come back to the circle of Apple. We’re serious, folks. It’s really time to believe that things are not only going to get better, but they’re going to stay like that for the long run.

If you’re in the market for technology now, there are still a lot of great Apple products to choose from. Since the company isn’t going away any time soon, this is still the time to purchase Apple products and services. Good luck with your purchases and have fun — isn’t that the point of new tech toys?

5 Apps on the iPhone To Let You Truly Have a Virtual Office

admin

These days, a business owner can’t just stay in one office. If they really want to expand and make as much money as possible, they have to start traveling.  Yet how do you bring the best of the office with you whenever you go? Well, you will want to make sure that you actually stop and look at the tools you have already.

Believe it or not, the iPhone is a powerful tool that you can use to really make things happen in a big way. For example, you have a lot of free and cheap apps in the App Store to help you gain additional functionality. Some of them are so good that you might not even have to carry along your laptop for the ride, though it doesn’t hurt to have it handy.

We collected 5 apps for the iPhone that really will help you make the best out of traveling for your business — no matter what industry you’re in!

1. DropBox

If you work outside of your office, then online file storage is definitely a must. We really like DropBox because it’s easy to use — you move files and you’re good to go. The site’s administrators are very good at backups as well, which means that you never have to worry about losing your files just because a site was unreliable. DropBox has been around for a while, and it looks like it’s definitely here to stay.

2. Find My iPhone

If you’ve lost your iPhone, this app can help you get it back. It uses the iPhone’s GPS power to automatically help you recover your phone. You can find it on the map, which can help if your phone has been stolen. If there’s sensitive data on your Apple phone, then you can have it wiped remotely — which is definitely a lifesaver!

Of course, if you’re like us, you’ve probably lost your phone in between the couch cushions at least once or twice. The app can send out a beeping alert that can help you find your phone that way too.

3. Genius Scan

Ever been to a presentation and you wished that you could copy down what the whiteboard said before it was erased? Enter Genius Scan, which is an app that lets you snap a picture and categorize it so that you can find it easily later. You can also “scan” real documents, like receipts. You can upload the scans to Google Docs and even EverNote (which has an awesome iPhone app, by the way). It’s $2.99, but that’s cheap when you look at everything that it can do.

Want to put it to your computer without having to worry about cords and cables? You can do that via Wi-Fi — all wireless, just the way you like it! Read more »

The Best iPhone Music Production Apps

admin

If you’ve got an ear for making music and wish that you didn’t have to hum tunes to yourself until you got home to record them, you can grab one of these many awesome applications for your iPhone to write while you’re on the go. With everything from guitar amp simulators, to pianos, to drum machines, you could even go as far as produce an entire album straight from your iPhone. Here are some of the best apps you can grab for the iPhone that can help you crank out tunes wherever you are during the day.

iSyn:

iSyn incorporates a drum machine and two fully functional and programmable synthesizers in one app. Our favorite feature of the app is its ability to play a backing track complete with drums and a pre recorded synth part as you jam over the top of it with your guitar, or with another one of the available pianos or synths on the phone. You can create an entire one man band effect as you write and record whatever comes to mind during your miniature jam session.

Intua Beatmaker:

If you’ve dabbled with drum machines in the past, this app should be a breeze to make your way through. However, if the terms velocity, effects busses, and sequencers are foreign to you, you may want to take a look at the massive 41 page manual this app comes with. If you’re serious about making beats, Intua Beatmaker is for you. However, if you’re just looking for something to make some simple rock beats with, everything in this application may be far too much for you to handle.

PianoStudio:

For all of the piano players out there, this app is for you. Unlike other apps that limit your ability to play things like chords and multiple finger positions like you can in real life, PianoStudio lets you do all of that and more. By using pre-programmed chords that are linked to buttons, you can sequence out different chords and melody parts to simulate actual piano play, rather than trying to write entire songs with just one octave of notes.

Amplitube:

If you’ve got the right connections for your iPhone, you can hook your guitar straight up to the phone and use the Amplitube app. Amplitube is a guitar amp simulator and has a huge range of amps and effects to choose from. The amps aren’t licensed by the official amp makers, so you won’t find amps made by Fender or Marshall on Amplitube, but it shouldn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out which amps are designed to mimic the real life ones.

5 useful productivity and task management apps for the iPad and iPhone

admin

The iPad and iPhone 4 are the most popular mobile devices on the market – there’s no doubt about it, and it’s actually impressive how they still hold their own against the hordes of new Android devices that outdo them in the specs department.

But the secret is simple, really: iOS 4, the operating system powering them, is very effective at using resources, and not only is it very flexible and functional, but also extremely easy to use – if you’ve tried to use an iPhone 4 and an Android or even Windows Phone 7 smartphone the first time, you’ll know what I’m talking about – iOS is so intuitive that you can start working the exact moment you get it in your hands.

While at first, the first iPhone and iPad was meant more for the consumer market, the apps revolution has made it possible to use it for business tasks as well, without any issues or problems. Business users, professionals and productive individuals alike can easily use it to manage their work, time and life, replacing the usual bunch of notebooks and computer software meant for the purpose.

So, here are just a few of the best productivity and task management apps for the iPhone and iPad devices:

Documents to Go:

If you need to view and/or edit documents on the go, you should know that it’s very easy to do it on the iPad or iPhone – all you need is the right app! Documents to Go is one of the best office apps for iOS, and you can use it to view PDF, DOC, XLS, TXT, PPT and many other file formats that are usually used everywhere. You can even open unrecognized files, if they contain text or images!

Skype:

Skype has had their application approved on the iTunes market after a pretty long waiting period, during which Apple declined it for various reasons, that’s why iPhone and iPad users started to enjoy it only recently. Of course, you must be familiar with it – it’s the best app for VoIP calls and messages – all securely encrypted and cheaper than any other landline or cellphone company offer around. I hope that Microsoft acquiring Skype will not stop them from updating and improving the iOS (and Android) versions and Apple will not remove it from the market.

Evernote:

Taking notes is one of the best ways to save ideas and thoughts when you have them for later review. Evernote is the best app for this purpose: it allows you to save text, images, photos, site bookmarks, video and audio recordings as notes and view or edit them later (with reminders and all). The best thing about it is that you get an online account that stores a copy of everything, so you never lose your information even if you lose your phone, and can easily access it from your Mac, PC or Android phone.

ReQall

ReQall is a great To Do list and task manager, which allows you to manage your daily/weekly/monthly schedule with ease and never lose a meeting or important task, thanks to the extensive reminders system. Just enter the task and description, attach any important files or bookmarks, and let ReQall take care of reminding you when things need to get done.

The iWork Suite

Although it’s only for the iPad, the iWork suite from Apple is totally worth the asking price. It is Apple’s own collection of apps for document editing, and contains Pages, Numbers and Keynote, all of which are simply amazing – you can see from the start that these apps were made by professionals. You can create documents, spreadsheets and presentations quickly and easily with these apps, and then output them to a printer, projector or simply save them wherever you want. The suite is a must have if you can afford it!

Sure enough, the iTunes market has a lot of other great apps, but if you’re new to Apple products, I recommend starting with the above apps, and then browsing the market for others if they don’t fit your needs.

5 beautiful 3D games for the iPad 2

admin

The iPad 2 is finally out and it’s selling even better than its predecessor – in its debut weekend, over 1 million units were sold, with a pretty amazing total of 2.5 million units in March – if that’s not impressive, I don’t know what is.

But the owners of the new iPad quickly realized that despite it looking great with the slim design and having a ton of processing power, there wasn’t much they could do to actually use its full potential. Thankfully, most developers reacted quickly and have already updated their apps to take advantage of the new hardware. And what better way to test a computer (be it a laptop or tablet) than a few 3D games that will fully load the processor and graphics adapter?

With that in mind, here are some of the best 3D games for the iPad 2 with beautiful graphics that rival those of dedicated console games:

Prince of Persia:

Warrior Within HD. The Prince of Persia series is one of the most popular for gaming consoles and PCs, and now you can also have the full experience on the move, right on your iPad, as well! The game is great – gameplay, story, in-game physics, sound and video quality are all excellent, and you can play the 12 chapters for hours at end – it just immerses you into the ancient world of Persia, its warriors and environments.

Need for Speed Shift:

Need for Speed Shift is one of the best looking games for the iPad. It also has pretty good in-game physics for a race simulator, and the number of cars and tracks makes it very enjoyable to play. If you’re a racing games fan or have been playing the Need for Speed series for PC and consoles, this is simply a must have both on your iPad 2 and iPhone 4!

Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance (NOVA):

NOVA is an amazing game, especially when you take into consideration that First Person Shooters were not available at all on touch screen devices just a year ago. The graphics quality, story, gameplay and sound are all at a very high level – this game can easily be used as a model for any other FPS that come out, it’s just that good!

Tom Clancy’s HAWX:

If you like planes more than cars and always wanted to have a decent flight simulator on your iPad, this is the game for you! HAWX is excellent in every important area: it has great graphics, excellent simulation physics, superb controls using the accelerometer and on screen buttons to control the plane and most importantly, it features realistic 3D models of the most popular planes and gives you a wide number of missions to accomplish.

FIFA 11:

Just like Madden NFL is the best game out there for American football fans, so is FIFA (made by the same company, EA) the best soccer game for PCs, dedicated consoles and of course, the iPhone and iPad devices. The latest version has been optimized to take full advantage of the dual core power in the iPad 2, so now you have better graphics, sound and physics than before. Run simulations and see how soccer matches could’ve gone differently if players made different decisions – anywhere, anytime on your iPad 2. Obviously, all these capabilities come at a cost: FIFA 11 uses a whopping 1.24 GB on your iPad, but you should still be able to install it without problems even on the cheapest version.

There are a lot of other great games for the new iPad 2 on the marketplace, and if you’re the lucky owner of one of these devices, you should definitely head over to the iTunes store and take a look at the offers – of course, you should try the above games, as well!

Determining the Real Cost of the iPhone

admin

Everyone and their mother seems to have an iPhone these days, but a lot of people just don’t realize the cost of the phone when going into the store to pick one up for the first time. Things like accessories and plan upgrades all play a factor in your plan’s pricing and yearly cost. If you’re wondering how much that iPhone will really cost you, consider these things.

Existing Customer

If you’re already an AT&T or Verizon customer, you can head into the store or look online at what’s involved with upgrading your phone. Phone upgrades are common, but prices for phones are different depending on the line you’re talking about. With AT&T, you could have one phone on a plan that has a better upgrade deal than another. It’s quite common to switch upgrade options and discounts around different numbers to get the best bang for the buck. Discounts and upgrade bonuses are given based on how much money you’ve spent with your provider before. You can spend some time on the AT&T website to see exactly what they’re willing to offer you depending on which line you decide to use to upgrade or purchase a new iPhone.

Accessories

Another thing to consider are the accessories you’ll inevitably buy for your new iPhone. Most people buy cases and headsets, so remember to account for an extra $50 worth of stuff for your new phone before ever leaving the store.

Apps

Face it, there are a lot of cool apps and features you’ll want to take advantage of with your new smartphone. While there are a lot of free applications available for the phone, some of them just don’t quite match the performance and capabilities of paid apps. Remember that you’ll probably be buying a few apps throughout the year and that they’ll set you back about $50.

And if you’re a big app user and don’t already have an unlimited data plan, it’s a good idea to try and plan for overages that may cost a few cents or a hefty chunk of change.

Remember, it’s easy to get sucked into the allure of a new phone, but unless you know how much it will cost you in the long run, it may be best to hold off a few months until you know that you can actually afford all of the extras involved.

iPhone App Review: Angry Birds

admin

Multi-coloured exploding birds and pigs that are set to destroy the word, what’s not to like? Angry Birds has captured the imaginations of gamers all over the world, and the fact that it is one of the most popular iPhone applications ever is just a bonus. If you haven’t experienced the thrill of launching those angry little creatures at the pigs (which let’s face it, look a lot angrier than the birds), then you really haven’t lived yet. Well, that or you don’t have an iPhone. Either way, you are definitely missing out. So, what’s it all about?

Well, we start off this crazy adventure as an angry bird, obviously. The aim of the game is to destroy the pigs that are set on their path to world domination. Of course, it is not as simple as it sounds. These pigs are jammed in between, on top of, and next to different structures. These structures are made out of glass, wood and bricks. However, you have to correctly angle your bird in the catapult in order to make the structures collapse, thus destroying the pigs that are eager to stick around.

So, we’ve established that this is a good game to play, especially whilst on the move, but what are the things that really make this game excel in terms of portable gaming?  Well, first of all there is the fact that there are over two hundred frustratingly brilliant levels. With that amount of levels there is no way that you can ever get bored of this addictive game. Physics are incredibly boring, we all know that, so what better way to enjoy physics than to fling explosive poultry at things? Both educational and good for anger management!

Considering this is a review and all, it would only be fair to put in some of the negative things about the game. However, this is hard because there really aren’t any. OK, that’s probably not true. The game can often be very frustrating. If you lack patience then you don’t want to play Angry Birds because you will probably blow a fuse. The only other negative aspect of the game is the fact that the strategy is fairly limited and oftentimes it is a case of luck as opposed to skill, although the majority of us will claim to be some kind of Angry Birds Jedi. Well, I am, you’re not.

In all seriousness, Rovio Mobile truly has outdone themselves with this fantastic game. For those of you who are still having some doubts, just download Angry Birds Light, the free taster, and see for yourself. Once you have realised that this is a game that you absolutely have to have in your life then you can pay for the full version. With that, I will leave you with this. Angry Birds is a game that every single iPhone user all over the world absolutely has to own.

highly Touted iPhone 5

What to Expect from the highly Touted iPhone 5

admin

Everything is at the moment mere speculation when it comes to the highly touted iPhone 5. Consumers are yet to get official communication from Apple Inc. regarding the features to expect. For all consumers know at the moment, the iPhone 5 could just be an upgraded version of the iPhone 4. This device is slated for release either in late April or Early May of 2011. As is expected of anxious consumers, they have started doing their digging up in an effort to find out the features that they should expect. Although not substantiated, here are the most probable changes you should expect of the iPhone 5.

1.    Several carriers/ providers

For several years now, AT&T has enjoyed being the sole carrier in all iPhones, but things are expected to change with the expected new release. Verizon has secured a joint venture with Apple. What this therefore means is that being able to use your favorite carrier would be a huge relief to many consumers and will definitely improve Apple’s ratings. The company is however still hesitant to include more carriers but at least 2 are better than 1.

2.    Larger screen

The other expected improvement is on the screen size. This seems to be a wakeup call from others mart phone manufacturers as they seem to have already implemented this much needed change. Because of the growing demands of consumers today, Apple has been led to believe that consumers are in dire need of a larger screen that would facilitate multimedia viewing and what-a-view. One concern though is the rate at which the battery will be consumed should the screen size be changed.

3.    Biometric scanning

Thanks to advancement in technology, today the quickest and most secured way to authenticate someone is by scanning their fingerprints. This technology has become a huge success in automated building doors and some laptops, and is therefore expected that it will be successfully implemented in the iPhone 5. This feature could be utilized when locking and unlocking the iPhone, or alongside the other security features on the iPhone as a way of double verifying should one lose the device, considering it doubles up as an e-wallet.

4.    Use of NFC or RF

There are also rumors that the iPhone 5 could also facilitate communication via radio frequency or NFC (near field communication). This however is still a rumor and is in the tentative stage as the company is still weighing the options of having and not having the feature. This will make the smartphone very versatile, facilitating functioning as a car key, an RFID, or an e-wallet.

Protecting Your Apple iPhone 5G

Protecting Your Apple iPhone 5G

admin

Every man-made thing is prone to wear and tear at some point. Pretty much any form of matter will break, wear out, or change point as it ages. Although with the advancement in technology it is expected that devices and electronics will be more durable as the latest techniques will be utilized, it is not to say that all devices are not prone to damage. However, by taking good care of your electronics and devices, you can be assured that your devices will give you a long and loyal service and will work efficiently as expected for the longest time possible.

Despite the fact that the Apple iPhone 5 is yet to be released to consumers, it is important to know how to take good care of it. This is one of the most expensive yet versatile devices ever made by man, because of its functionality, its features that make life so easy, and the not-so-cheap price tag it is expected to come with, it wouldn’t be something you can dispose off easily the way you dispose off a toy because it has broken down because of bad care. In order to increase the longevity of your iPhone 5 and keep it in good working condition for the longest time possible, here are some caring tips you will find indispensable.

1.    Never abuse the iPhone Glass – if you have ever come across an iPhone, you know that it is made of helicopter glass. The mere fact that it is made of one of the most durable glasses in the world makes some consumers careless with it. However, for you to get the most dedicated service from the iPhone 5, you should take good care of it. While it is OK to put your iPhone in the back or pocket, avoid mixing it with other stuff such as keys as they can dent or scratch the glass with time.

2.    Avoid overcharging your iPhone 5 – this is true of all devices and not the iPhone 5 alone. The iPhone 5 is expected to come with an un detachable internal battery. If overcharged, the battery life will be compromised and so will be its functionality. What this will mean is that you will need to detach and replace the battery as you take it to repair. To avoid all this, avoid overcharging your iPhone 5.

3.    Avoid misusing the games functionality

Although many people buy devices because of the entertainment functionality, you should avoid over-playing games as they too are known to compromise on the life of your battery as well as the touch mechanism.
