WWDC 2011 – Part 3: iOS5
The main new features of iOS5 are the new notification centre, wi-fi syncing and the ability to be PC free and iMessage among others. Notification centre is definitely the biggest and most significant update. I got my first smartphone a while back, a Sony Ericsson Android phone. It doesn’t run the most up to date [...]
Skype – How it changed everything, and mobile video calling
When I come to think of it, Skype has become an indispensable tool for me recently. I mostly use it to keep in close contact with someone very special to me, and the fact that it’s free to talk to someone in another country for hours every day in perfect sound quality is amazing to me still. [...]
Apple Event: iPod Touch
The iPod Touch is probably my favourite Apple device ever, from what I’ve owned. I still have all of my 3 old iPods. Compared to the iPod Mini and 2nd Gen Nano, even my 3 year old iPod Touch is so far ahead in terms of value for money and features that it boggles the [...]
Apple Event Thoughts: Intro and iPod Shuffle
I’ve been speculating a lot leading up to yesterday’s event where Apple announced most of the things we thought they would do. I just want to go over what I predicted and see what happened and what didn’t, and what that means for the new products. iPod Shuffle I made some rather outlandish Shuffle predictions, [...]
Facebook Places: 4 in a Square
Facebook places is the latest major feature addition to the massive social network. You can use your iPhone or other compatible phone or iPod Touch presumably, and check in to any location when you’re out. You can describe what you’re doing and tag friends who are there with you. Essentially, you can look at this [...]
iPod Nano 6th Gen & Shuffle 4th Gen Wishlist
I’ve recently talked about my wants for the next generations of iPod Touch and Apple TV which we could see next Wednesday. The Apple TV is not necessarily a certainty for the show but it will come sometime soon. They just might focus on iPods only for the time being. I now want to go [...]
Apple iTV and iPod Touch 4th Gen Wish List
With rumors of a new iPod Touch and an updated and renamed Apple TV in full swing, I think it’s time to highlight some of the things that will really make these products amazing. It will be interesting to see how many of these will appear at the Apple event likely to take place in [...]
Tweetie Will Become Twitter for iPhone
Twitter Blog: Twitter for iPhone. I’m very excited for this. I’ve been a big fan of Tweetie 2 on iPod Touch for a while now. I was a bit reluctant to purchase it at first especially when you had to buy it again if you had the first version. Once you install it though, it [...]
Opera for iPhone / iPod Touch Initial Thoughts
After initially being surprised to hear that Apple approved this, I proceeded to download and check this out. First impressions were good. The browser is very fast, it definitely appeared faster than Safari on the first gen iPod Touch that I have. I like the Chrome style new tab page and the selectable and customisable [...]
iPhone OS 4.0 Thoughts
Before I get into the new features that Apple announced for OS 4 yesterday, I just want to quickly point out that while these things are cool, I probably won’t be able to use many of them at all on my iPod Touch 1st Gen. I guess now is when the hardware differences in power [...]
