Is the New iPhone Model Built with High Definition?   Up and expected for grab this coming summer season is the new model of the iPhone called the iPhone HD. Based on speculations, this new iPhone model from Apple will have a much better screen resolution, one that doubles its forerunner's specification, and thus can display media contents with high definition. The original iPhone model has dimension ranging from 320 by 480 or 960 by 640 pixels. The new model is said to have double that feature, something to look forward for astonishment as the device screen  is only 3.5 inches. What techie Greeks are worried about is how the screen upgrade could affect the device's performance and operation. The iPhone we now have is already considered with high resolution of 163 pixels per inch or PPI, and this is even higher than those of Mac Book's or iMac's with 113 and 108 PPI, respectively. Assuming the screen of the new model is still 3.5 inches, the conjectured upgrade could be really impressive at 326 PPI, it might even surpass the Google Nexus One's 252 PPI. But can the upgrade be realistic for daily usage? For standard viewing of photos, this is quite advantageous, but will it also have the same positive effect on gaming and video applications? Aside from the HD upgrade, the upcoming model of the iPhone is said to also have a thinner frame and a trendier function as brought about by the A4 Processor unique to Apple and is also utilized in iPad. Also expected to be included in the new iPhone model is the much awaited web cam feature, the iSight. Plus there would also be special software, the iChat which would allow video chatting right from the iPhone. In previous media news, this new model is referred to as the iPhone 4G as it is assumed to have support for the fourth generation of cellular networks. This 4G technology, called LTE Advanced, can support browser speed of 100Mbps maximum. But information from a latest report from Wall Street Journal has mentioned nothing about the LTE Technology, probably because this feature may not be feasible yet for realistic market launch. In place for the LTE is the CDMA alleged support by Apple. Hmm, sounds and seems like a potential rivalry with Verizon. European consumers are however not so very probable to benefit from this feature.

Why the iPad Will Do to Books What the iPod did to Music Apple's latest iGadget, the iPad, has just been released in the United States over the weekend, amid much fanfare from the legion of tech blogs around the blogosphere. It goes without saying that we're at the brink of something big here — something revolutionary, and one can liken this historic moment to that of nearly 10 years ago, when Apple introduced the world to the iPod. At that time, the concept of carrying 5GB worth of music around in your pocket — or, to paraphrase what Apple CEO Steve Jobs said at the keynote, "enough music to last you a trip to the moon and back" — was quite novel. Couple this remarkable new hardware with the tight integration to the newly released iTunes, and the iTunes Store, and we have something that can sell like crazy. And it sure did sell. So much so that the term "iPod" has become synonymous with "mp3″ and "music". Fast-forward to three years ago, when the first Amazon Kindle was released, and the world's attention shifted from portable music to portable reading — or, more appropriately, digitized reading. Amazon's Kindle reader has grown to become the definitive standard upon which ebooks are consumed. But we can liken this to Sony's Walkman player around the time of the iPod birth: whilst novel in its concept, it is still cumbersome, and especially for book publishers, ties them to "fixed" price models that leave little to no room for flexible pricing and thus higher revenue. And so we come to the iPad's iBooks and iBookstore: perhaps the "saviour" for publishers the world over. With this "magical" new product and store interface, Apple brings to the table what Amazon lacked: Style. You just have to take a glance at the beautiful interface that iBooks has to realize that it's going to be a success: Apple's managed to integrate that "natural-ness" of the book, bringing back the feeling of reading, and not playing with a fancy new gadget. The iBooks feature of the iPad will certainly get the masses into the next generation of reading, just like the iPod got millions taking their album collections on-the-go with them. And who knows, ten years from now, the terms "ebooks" and "e-reader" will become synonymous with one word: iPad.

Touching Base with the iPad: My Personal iPad Review   It was a nice Saturday morning when my cousins got their Apple iPad. And oh boy! They, or We to be more appropriate, were so amazed with the new gadget and they didn't seem to notice it's been hours since they started meddling with it, clicking here, pressing there, taking photos and screenshots and testing every application that the device have to offer. But I have got to admit that after several hours of exploration, there still remains a lot of interesting features that my cousins (and with me of course!) need to get acquainted with the Ipad. Since we started getting our hands-on and inspection, me and my cousins have touched first base with Ipad and here are a few of what we came to know about it: The screen, it was huge and vivid. So bright with lively colors it simply left us dumbfounded! And when the Epicurious  (an intermediary application), we were all rendered speechless by the dazzling red splash on the screen, whereas the Marvel Comics application, though still in beta form was also astounding. With the iPad screen, you would never feel that it's like a screen taken away from a laptop; instead it gives you a feeling of having a really big iPhone monitor in front of you. Due to the bigger screen size, applications are displayed more conveniently for the user, it can be split in a landscape mode (content to the right and items index to the left). The Ipad is even more functional, due mainly to the additional items on the toolbars plus the 'popover' UI which could impossibly fit in an iPhone. Pretty fast operating system too as seen from the no-delay zooms and pans even when running the Safari browser. Moreover, there are also several accessories that we have tried with the Apple iPad to further enhance its performance. One is a proper case to give it a slight inclination when placed on your lap or on a table top. The Keyboard dock can be attached for maximized typing and with its Bluetooth accessories for audio, headphones and many others make it a feature plus gadget. The iPad of course charges exclusively through its own power adapters. Additional iPad applications can be acquired from the App store. File transfer with Ipad is also made much easier. There's even an application called iWork for reception and conversion of files among others apps.

Is This 14.1MP Camera Enough: The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W370 Review If you are looking for a camera that has some notable and some not so very notable features at a price you would consider affordable for a digital photo device, then the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W370 is just what you might have an interest to. This camera from Sony is decent enough considering it has specifications of 14.1 mega pixels resolution Large zoom capability by its optical lens that can be zoomed up to seven times from 34 millimeters to 238 millimeters LCD screen measured at three inches Video recording abilities of up to 720 pixels Available colors are silver, green and red Has dimensions of 4 x 2.25 x 1.06 ( all in inches) Total  weight of 6.3ounces  including the battery pack and one memory card (Sd or SDHC cards or sticks) Our review of Sony Cyber Shot DSC W370 Camera Because the DSC-W370 has a quite bigger lens for zooming, you may find that it's a little difficult to use for point and shoot instances. And even for some night gimmicks, this cam is sure too large to fit in your pockets. But what's amazing about this large cam is the quality of images it produces. When I set the gadget at 3200, the highest possible setting, I noticed some little grains appearing but the colors appeared quite realistic. But in general, all of the pictures I have taken were truly clear. Several ingenious and nifty features are also in this camera. Cost: $230. Complete with a mode called Sweep Panorama that allows any user to take 243-degree panoramic shots. It also has a self-portrait timer feature that is useful for pictures that you want to put in social networking sites. I just found one drawback about the mediocre Sony DSC-W370. The lag time of this camera surely annoyed me. The shutter lags for roughly two seconds when used for single shots and a much longer time in between multiple shots, not only that, but there is also a delay when the button is pressed after I took a shot. What makes it worse is that I have to press twice as one press would not register a particular scene and therefore may not be recommended for taking pictures of events that happen quickly. You may also not love this camera if you wish to review your current shot after you took it.

No Official Facebook App for iPad: The Implications   The iPad is finally in the hands of the Apple fans. They're currently gushing over the ultra-cool factor of owning an iPad, and the cool apps that they've already tried out. And I don't blame them for being so excited — as I've mentioned before, the iPad is set to change the way we read books, and consume content. But there is one small problem that will perhaps escalate as more users come to know about it: the absence of an official Facebook app for the iPad. The Facebook app for iPhone has been a resounding success, so much so that it's frequented the "top picks" on the App Store. So it goes without saying that it was expected of the social networking giant to release a native iPad app for the iPhone. While the iPad can run current iPhone apps, either in their "iPhone-size", or blown-up to fit the iPad's larger, more vibrant screen, many new users of the iPad have already complained that these iPhone apps are atrocious on the iPad. Of course, iPhone apps were designed for the smaller device, and building apps for the iPad requires developers to consider more factors, such as the physical size of the device and its correlation to how users will now interact with their apps. So why then would Facebook, who has enjoyed such success with their iPhone app, declined to produce an iPad-native version? Theories are floating around the blogosphere. Perhaps Facebook deems the iPad's more sophisticated Safari browser competent enough to handle their site in all its glory? Well, this isn't the case, actually. The Facebook site has many bugs when used on iPad, such as pop-ups not displaying correctly. Coupled with this is the major exclusion of Flash support on the iPad. iPad users are having to rely on third-party apps such as Facebook Ultimate, which leaves much to be desired in terms of usability. Facebook should take a leaf out of Google's book. The search giant successfully managed to utillize new web-standards technology in the form of HTML5, largely propounded by the iPad as Apple's reply to their Flash issue, to build the Gmail web app. As far as reports go, the Gmail app is brilliant, and very well-designed. Facebook needs to act now, if they want to keep their strong userbase for their mobile products. Sooner or later, some other developer is going to come out with a great Facebook for iPad app, charge a good sum for it, and iPad users will have no choice but to buy it, as Facebook declined to show support for them.

Watch Apple iPad being Destroyed with Blendtec Blender [Youtube]   Blendtec, is a popular geek-channel on Youtube not just because they are manufacturer of the household blender, but, because they destory gadgets using the blender which is definitely a clever marketing ploy.

Anyway, as we look into the review of iPad with those exclusive sleek features and business advantages, we find Apple iPad to be extremely sensitive. But, the guys over at Blendtec want to destroy Apple iPad completely with their powerful blender. Will it blend? Watch How Blendtec Destroys Apple iPad Source: Engadget Of course, the aluminum back from the iPad went missing if you've had a closer look into the video. But, Blendtec have definitely managed to entertain us at the cost of their iPad. You can also check out the Blendtec official Youtube channel (click here) to see how some of the cute and expensive gadgets are dismantled and blended mercilessly. Question is whether to buy iPad, or the Blender

The 3 Specific Trades Which Must Take Advantage of iPad   The iPad is simply an oversized iPod Touch for consumers..If this is your perception, then you should be zapped for thinking so! Because we love iPad. Through the iPad has a really huge 10 inch screen, you will be taken to a whole new world of great applications. This is what iPad developers have stated, with roughly 1, 000 applications in the iPad, who would not be impressed? Unlike the earlier generations of iPhone applications which can only be accessed upon paying some fees, the iPad apps shall be offered free or if ever they are charged it'll only be at the most minimum, almost zero charge. From one mobile ad and exchange bazaar called Moblix, its founder Krishna Subramanian has said that of those iPad applications that have made their way through Moblix fifteen percent are free of charge while the rest are paid. On average, paid Ipad applications cost only six dollars. Although some applications are paid, these are sure to benefit the majority of the populace, particularly three sectors of the industry which are: News and Media The iPad is thought to be a potential savior for the decreasing market for newspapers. So when the Wall Street Journal made an announcement about the $18/ month subscription on iPad, the industry is filled with hope. Imagine reading newspaper articles on a sophisticated tablet that would certainly be a trendy habit, very functional. Other newspapers followed in cooperating with iPad for publications. Health Care Sectors In hospitals, medical staff definitely needs an effective clipboard for where to record data about a patient. Many hospitals are now moving towards automation of medical records and the iPad is equipped with the ability to quickly store data even via voice prompt. iPhones may be used but the screen is not large enough to accommodate large volume of information, thus tablets are more efficient in this scenario. Hospitality Trades and Businesses Only two weeks after Steve Jobs has introduced the iPad to the public, contract negotiations and dealings were already received by a number of developers in San Francisco's Macworld Expo. In fact, those who have demanded for the iPad devices are from top of the line food and restaurant chains. Apple iPad scan serve as paper menus replacement. Its application can be utilized for displaying the dish and pertinent information about it. A video may also be included that will show how that certain dish is prepared.

How To Capture Screenshots on Mac [Guide]   I'm a Mac user for almost a year now, and while I've become quite competent with the new OS (after having used Windows for all of my computing life before), one thing always seemed to baffle me: how to take screenshots in Mac. Now, on Windows PCs, the keyboard has a certain key called "Print Scrn" that, when pressed, takes a screenshot of the entire screen; you then have the option of pasting that captured image into an image editing app like PhotoShop or The GIMP (my editing app of choice), and then editing out whatever you want. Now, you may be wondering, "why would I want to capture the screen of my Mac?" Well, for starters, if you're a software developer, you may want to showcase what your app looks like to prospective customers. And, a more common example is taking screen grabs of problems arising from software, to mail to the support team that can then assist them in trying to fix any problems with an app. However, on a Mac, there isn't a keyboard key for this. So, after some research, I present to you some great tips to capture the screen of your Mac, without having to download any additional software. Yip, all the stuff you need is already on your Mac! Using Mac OS X's "Grab" Application Your Mac comes with an application called Grab. You can find it in Applications -> Grab (or just search for "Grab" in Spotlight). Grab allows you to do all your screen capturing, by giving you the option of either capturing the entire screen, or just the currently selected window. Capturing the Entire Screen: To take a snapshot of everything (including the Dock), choose Capture -> Screen from the menu. When the Screen Grab window appears, just click anywhere in the screen, and voilá, a new window appears with the captured screen. You can then save it by going to the File menu, and choosing Save As… Capturing a Selected Window: Taking a screen grab of a single window is just as easy: go to Capture -> Window. Select "Choose Window". However, there is a little trick you need to do here. After the Screen Grab dialog appears, press and hold the shortcut Cmd + TAB to bring up the Application Switcher menu. Then, select the app you want to grab the screen from, and when that window pops up, click it. There you have the screenshot of the single window, without having to go and edit an image of the whole desktop just to get a single window! Capturing Selection: You can also capture a portion of the screen by selecting Capture -> Selection. Then, simply drag around the part of the screen you wish to capture. Mac OS X Snow Leopard also has the option to capture video screenshots, allowing you to create software tutorials and other cool tutorials on your Mac. To do this you will need to go into the new QuickTime and select the "Screen Record" option. However, this is beyond the scope of this tutorial. There you have it! A simple way to capture screenshots on Mac, without having to go out and buy/download any additional software. Hope this helps!
