Why I Want To Get The iPhone 4S - Video Promo

Image
I've seen this video twice already. And I'm happy I ordered my iPhone 4S and won't regret it. And when you see the video, you'll agree. First, Siri won't judge you. And second, the camera!

Apple And/Or Disney Should Buy Rights To Steve Jobs Biopic

Sony is paying for the rights to Steve Jobs movie based on the upcoming authorized biography, Steve Jobs , by Walter Isaacson. I think it would be more appropriate for Apple to produce the movie and offer it through iTunes only. Or even have Disney do it. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Sprint To Kill Off WiMax And Go LTE - This Could Hurt

When Steve Jobs came back to Apple, he did a few things that were considered unpopular at the time.  He looked off products – including the popular Newton PDA and eMate, good products that were not selling well.  Today, Sprint did something similar – it killed WiMax and in its place promised to build out an LTE network of its own. What will happen to all those WiMax devices and hotspots?  Well, it's like they'll be able to keep using their WiMax wireless access for some time, at least until Sprint can finish its LTE network.  Sprint has said it will stop selling WiMax devices after 2012.   http://old.news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20111007/ap_on_hi_te/us_tec_sprint_network And Sprint had no choice.  And things might get worse before it gets better.  Therefore, it's why it has placed a huge bet that the iPhone will help ease the pain.  Interestingly, it has not said anything about the millions of Android users on its network with a WiMax device and what will ...

Siri Alone Justifies Upgrading to iPhone 4S - You Get a Personal Assistant, Who Wouldn't Want One?

Let me get right to it.  I stayed up until 3 AM to order a white 32 GB Verizon iPhone 4S.  It seems exactly like the white 16 GB Verizon iPhone 4.  Why? Siri is the main reason.  As a mobile fan, I want to experience what I believe is the next revolution in mobile computing and social experience.  Sure, the 8 MP camera is going to rock as is the two core A5 chip with what I assume will be much faster speed operational wise and 7X the graphics. But it's Siri and the accurate dictation.  By next week, I hope to be able to dictate these blog posts and updates on Google+ and Twitter.  I hope to send out messages and e-mails while I drive.  This past Wednesday when I was on the freeway to meet some friends for dinner and to pick up my awesome new Touchpad, I got a few messages about changes in plans and inquiries about where we were meeting.  I could have used those features. On top of that, I'm pretty stoke not only by what is available with Siri...

Google And Samsung Postponed Event For Its Nexus Prime Phone and Ice Cream Sandwich

Under the circumstances, it appears that Google and Samsung did the right thing and posted their next Android event, previoiusly scheduled for October 11th to another date to be determined.  The reason appears to be the 11th will be the day Steve Jobs' family and friends bury the iconic figure. Is this the right thing to do?  Humanity never ceases to amaze me even when we are locked in as competitive a market as the mobile market.   It shows that what's going on in the market, the war of words, patent wars, and others showed that none of that is personal.  I'm sure our readers all realize that as well.  After all, Android versus iOS versus anything else has always been what sports is like for sports fans.  UCLA versus USC (Bruis rock!) or Starbucks versus Coffee Bean.   I think those companies did the right thing and I like to think that Apple probably would have done the same.   Source: The Droid Guy .

IPhone 4S Preorder Is Hours Away

I am not sure if you are aware of this because it kinda sneaked up on me.  We are hours away from the iPhone 4S preorder here in the US. I was only made aware of this when I was at the temporary Apple store in Pasadena, CA to buy a couple of Apple TVs on behalf of my mom to give to her friends.  The Apple employee who was helping me was kind enough go answer a few questions I have about it and reminded me that I should be ready to order it tonight. I supposed the news of Steve Jobs has sort of left me feel a bit out of it.  So, if you are looking to get the new iPhone, make sure you've got your Apple ID all set to go.   The ordering starts 3:01 am EST and 12:01 am PST. -- Sent from my HP TouchPad
