I got a message this morning from my cousin Kuya Ronald asking if the iPhone 3.0 software update was available today. I didn’t hear anything these past weeks so I wasn’t sure. I got to work and plugged in my iPhone 3G on my MBP and as soon as iTunes loaded, I get this message….
Today Apple announced new products: the iPhone 3G S and a 13” version of the Macbook Pro. First, the new iPhone 3G S. I’m not too excited about this one. Most of my excitement has been sucked dry by AT&T’s lack of coverage area. It’s supposedly 2x faster, has video capture support, 32GB model, voice…
Today, Apple held a preview of their upcoming iPhone OS 3.0 and SDK. A lot of my wants will be coming. I may keep my iPhone 3G longer than planned – even though AT&T’s coverage is garbage. Here are a few that I’ve read about so far. MMS support (Finally! Welcome to half a decade…
My 320GB hard drive is starting to fill up on my iMac so I decided to get a 1TB hard drive. I knew opening the iMac is going to be a pain. I’ve seen videos from YouTube on how to open the previous plastic models and it looked hard. Nevertheless, I needed to upgrade my…
My cousin Von just bought a Macbook last Monday February 2. Apple is giving a $100 rebate with a purchase of a printer. He didn’t want a printer so I bought a Canon Selphy for $100 which made it free after rebate. You can now submit this rebate online at www.apple.com/promo. You will need to…
Apple has recently released iPhone version 2.2. Safari has been updated and now has the Google search box next to the URL box. I don’t like it myself since it looks like it was squeezed in there. There are other fixes and updates but… I’ve been waiting for this for a long time. The iPhone…
So far the touch is very impressive. I’m currently writing this entry on it. The 16GB isn’t too bad. I would have to create a playlist since my library is far beyond 16GB. A couple of things I noticed right away: The keyboard on portrait view is narrower than in landscape. You will be able…
I finally pulled the trigger on a new iMac. I’ve been wanting one since I heard Apple’s future OS’s will stop supporting non-Intel Macs. I still have my old PowerMac G5 (dual 2.0GHz, 2.5GB ram). It still works flawlessly but was concerned of its support in the future. So now with my new iMac, I…
It’s been over a week that I’ve had my iPhone 3G. I’ll share the bad experiences first. Reception at the house hasn’t improved and 3G coverage in my area isn’t consistent. I find myself having to disable 3G more than half the time to get a decent signal. This was a big concern before I…
After a couple of hours with an activated iPhone 3G, I’ll share some of my experiences. First, we were lucky to get to the store at the time we did. We nearly missed out on a 16GB model. We got to the store at around 7:30am. There were about 40-50 people in front of us….
