Colorware; Making it easier to get rid of unwanted money.

For only $145, colorware will make your Magic Trackpad any color above and below the sea. The purpose? None really- just another reason why some people just don’t need money.

Best Buy Tablet News!

Best Buy, Best known for the ‘Best’ deals for Buying electronic products, currently sells one tablet; the iPad, and it’s ashamed, to say the least. By the time holiday season 2010 rolls around, that should be very distant memory.

Microsoft intends for Windows 7 to be powering quite a few tablet devices in the near future, but it’s been somewhat difficult to nail down exact time frames for release outside of Samsung’s Q3-bound Galaxy Tab (which won’t even run Windows). According to Shawn Score, president of Best Buy Mobile, the company will be making “tablets a focus… going into the holidays.” He continued: “Like e-readers over the last couple years, we think customers will think of Best Buy for tablets and expect us to have the right ones.”

So what does all this mean? It means that we’re gonna be gorged with tablets this Christmas; both wonderfully beautiful and user friendly, and horrible and ugly. It’ll be a forest out there, and you’ve gotta be ready.

iPod news!

It’s time for a little exposé on what may be coming up for Apple’s iPods during their yearly iPod event, slated for mid-September. It’s been a slow news month; don’t judge me.

This my iPhone 4 review.

It’s 7:00. I get woken up by the Overture from Candice playing; reminding me to start my day. I grab my phone, and head into the kitchen. I check my email, relishing the fact that I have a full 5 bars of AT&T signal. There’s a message with pictures. I barely notice that the pictures are far sharper and clearer, and the text, completely readable; even when zoomed out. This my friends is the Iphone 4.

DESIGN

No other phone is as pleasing to my eyes as the iPhone 4. Sleeker than the 3GS, The phone is built more like a brick than the smooth sexy form of the previous model. Strangely, It looks far better. When you hold it, it feels solidly built. The two panes of hardened glass with a stainless steel band in between have a feel unrivaled by the 3GS.

HARDWARE

The first thing worth mentioning is Apple’s new A4 processor (the same one used in the iPad) has taken the reign away from the ARM cortex-A8-based processor. The processor also has a clock speed of somewhere around 1GHz. The iPhone 4 has a beefy 512 MB of RAM (up from 256 MB on the 3GS and iPad). To handle all your wire-free needs, the iPhone 4 is comes with an 802.11n WiFi radio, as well as a quad-band HSUPA chip and Bluetooth 2.1.

DISPLAY

Seriously, Apple outdid itself on this one. With it’s screen, dubbed the “Retina Display” has an eye melting 940×640 IPS screen. This display actually has 326 pixels per inch! The resolution is mind-blowingly insane. That’s all I can say,

CLOSING; 9.5/10

After having this phone for about a month, I’ve delved deep into the hardware, and into the user interface. This is an insanely wonderful phone. Why a 9.5? Ask At&t.

Passive aggressive anger at it’s best.

Why do I say passive-aggressive? Because if it was aggressive, there would be death metal and terminators.

What do you do with a free macbook air?

You do that. The screen didn’t work, so the internals were taken out, and stuffed inside the body of one of those clunky white apple keyboards, along with a keyboard and track pad.

Proper use of a coffeehouse

Just because your iMac is small enough to carry around with you doesn’t mean you should.

Aand…There’s Flash on the iPhone. TOLD YA IT WAS COMING.

Nah, I didn’t actually tell you, but I was hoping for it, and my dreams have come true. As per Redmond Pie;

According to the source, this version of Flash (Frash) will also work on iPhone 3GS, iPad (on 3.2.1) and iPod touches. I have tested it on iPhone 4, running iOS 4.0.1 only and can confirm that it works.

Awesome-sauce. I’m gonna go and do it. RIGHT NOW. For detailed steps, screen shots, and the like, here’s a link; Redmond Pie

This beast, which normally has two 2.66 GHz 6-core processors, is gonna be fast. Real fast. And very expensive. The good news, though, is that you get the Magic mouse/Trackpad bundled together fr $69. Faster than greased lightnin’! On that note, LET ME REVIEW! Please? Pretty please? I’ll be your best friend!

Remember the failure shirt? Well here are the failure pants. It’s an improvement, I’d say. Now, instead of people punching you in the chest and stealing your iPad, they’ll just steal your iPad. Everybody wins! Except for you because of those pants.
