The iPad Pro

After several months of hype and speculation, the long awaited Apple tablet, the iPad, was revealed last week. Unfortunately, the iPad announcement was met with community disappointment. The week following the iPad’s announcement was full of tech journalist, bloggers and everyone else with an opinion expressing how unimpressed they were with the device, or at least how unimpressed they will be when they actually can hold one.

So since everyone, myself included, seemed to enjoy the hyped version of the Apple tablet better, I’d like to take a moment and assemble a new Apple tablet that I’m dubbing the iPad Pro. Now mind you when I say ‘pro’, I don’t mean what Apple has come to mean by ‘pro’. Apple decided to add the ‘pro’ moniker to almost all of its notebook line so as not to make the lower quality ones have low self esteem issues. When I say ‘pro’, I mean professional, like it’s loaded to the gills with stuff that most non-pro people would not need.

The iPad Pro fulfills the goals that a tablet computing device should. A perfect middle man; solving problems for situations that need a larger screen and more computing power than a smartphone, yet also require more mobility than a notebook.

Here’s what my fictitious, yet truly magical, iPad Pro contains:

My (Brief) Musing on the iTablet

If you follow any bit of tech news than you will know that on Wednesday of this week (Jan 27) Apple is all set to unveil the highly rumored tablet computing devise. I for one cannot be happier because the sheer amount of speculation about these types of things get annoying really quickly. Each site is desperate to outscoop the other so they post any menial bit of information that they think they might have just to make some noise. Is it a 10 inch screen or 11. Oh wait it might be 10.1 inches. *yawn

Although all of the news about such an unofficial device can be overwhelming, I also think it’s not necessarily unjustified due to how influential Apple and its products have been in the past decade. So with that I’d like to quickly share a few ideas/opinions in my head about the iTablet.

First Week with the iPhone: The Phone

It’s been a week since I said goodbye to Verizon and switched to the iPhone, so I would like to take a moment to give my first week’s opinion about my new toy. For this post I’ll focus solely on the iPhone itself by giving my impression of the hardware and software the phone has. I’ll be publishing two more posts discussing the iPhone apps and iPhone accessories I’ve been playing with in the next few days.

As I write this review of sorts I’m going to stay away from elaborating on any of the normally lauded features. If you’re anything like me, then you know what big item features comes in an iPhone 3GS. This post should give a more personal understanding of what owning this device is like to someone who only has read about the iPhone.
