We take a look at the iPad and see if it lives up to the hype. While the term “magical” has been attributed to the iPad by Apple, the tablet is definitely something different and impressive.
Aperature 3 was released today with some much asked for features. The third version of Aperature now includes all of those features every Mac user knows and loves from iPhoto and adds a few extra touches. You can now organize your photos by face, location based geo-tagging from your camera, and create slideshows from within Aperature 3. The release also adds new brushes for perfecting images, new image effects with presets and you can navigate your photos now with a full screen browser. You can buy Aperature 3 at the onlineApple store now for $199.
WIth all the excitement surrounding the leaked photos of the next gen. iPod Touch we almost forgot about the upcoming SNow Leopard. According to Mac Rumors they were sent the photos of Snow Leopard retail packaging.
The images are of the Portuguese version and may be a hoax, but we are guessing this is not the case. Other sources have said earlier in the week that Snow Leopard could come out as early as this coming Friday as the gold master went out a little while back. If Snow Leopard comes out this week we will be sure to grab a family pack for our own consumption and share what’s in the box and how the install goes.
Well this looks to be it. The next iPod Touch with the camera in the back. This has not been a confirmed, but the source submitted the images of a tear-down to the Covino and Rich show. The source who submitted the photos gave the following info to the show.
-to show its real. If you look at the board, it states Apple 2009 very clear. The 2nd gen AKA iPod touch out now, has 2008 on it. They havent revised the 2008 touch. I will compare them in pic in a sec.
-BTW, these phones NEVER leave Apple and this one left but it was a durability test phone, so thats why the screen is all gridded off and cracked.
-The side by side picture is the inside of the current gen vs the 3rd gen (one coming out in September).
-I acquired this from a guy that I buy parts phones and iPods from. I believe hes a recycler in ***********, so what most likely happened is that Apple threw this away and he some how got it and sold it for parts.
There you have it. The images certainly look like the cases we have been seeing. We should know in the next month or so if this is the final form factor or if this person has a very rare prototype.
Today we take a look at the Shades Cases for iPhone 3g or 3GS. The cases are see-through and provide a very thin coating over the iPhone. This is a great alternative to lengthy installs such as the ZAGG or Best Skins Ever.
Check back for more photos and a written review.
