Just in time for the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) later today where the details about the iCloud and iOS 5 are expected to be announced, here’s the preview of what to expect in the new iOS 5.
And they called this video the iOS 5 magic, and it’s literally — not really figuratively, like when you’re referring to new features.
I find it ironic for Android tablets (just like this Acer Iconia A500 tablet, photo above) and Android phones to pose like an iPad or iPhone competitor, and yet offer their products at usually higher prices than the leader.
If you are gonna take on the competition, and you can’t offer a lot more — if not better — features, then at least come out with a competitive price. Think about 50% to 60% of that of the leader.
The iMovie app for iOS devices is supposed to be a universal app. By that, though, according to the iTunes app page, you pay only once to install the same at both the iPhone and iPad 2 (i.e., only).

I already paid for the app for my iPhone 4. And obviously, I can’t install it on my iPad 1. The apparent reason as it appears to be is just because it got no front-facing camera (nor even a camera at all). My question is, is it the only hardware spec the app requires?

Just noticed this button when I checked the Facebook app in my iPhone yesterday:
So it appears Facebook Places is now available for the iPhone App in my region. Check out more screenshots after the jump »

You should also be missing the iPod + iTunes and the iBooks (though personally, I would still prefer the Amazon Kindle App).
Indeed, if you don’t have an iPhone, well, you don’t have an iPhone.
Unfortunately for iPad 2, it is not excused from the blender challenge.
Just as any new device that came out in the past, the big question ‘Will it Blend?’ has been resolved in the affirmative for the iPad 2. Remember, don’t try this at home.

Check out other ‘Will it Blend?’ videos for the iPhone 4, the original iPad, and even the Chrome Notebook.
If you own a $439.95 blender, it sure will blend anything that fits into its compartment.
When I first got my iPad (and iPhone 4 a month later), I registered them with a Philippine iTunes account. Since then, I’ve purchased several apps from the Apple App Store using my Philippines-issued credit card.
Now, the problem with the Philippine iTunes store is that you have no access to certain apps (e.g., Microsoft OneNote, Google Voice, etc.), as well as iTunes Music, Movies, TV Shows and iBookstore.
Then I discovered that it is in fact possible and totally legitimate to create a US iTunes account without a US-issued credit card (or US-based Paypal account). See the Apple support page on how to do it.
So I created another (US) iTunes account.
While maintaining the US iTunes account only and dropping the Philippine iTunes account altogether is an option, it’s certainly out of the equation. I’ve already spent as much as US$100 in the Apps purchased from the Philippine iTunes Store.
I was worried that maintaining two iTunes accounts may pose problems in the future, especially during App updates. Follow through the eventual upgrade and the conclusion »
If you have played The Angry Birds in your iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch (I believe there’s a PC version also–and Android), you should be familiar with the music.

To the non-iPhone users, it’s either you’re in or out. To the rest, there are 7 more classifications (though one may belong to two or more types). I guess this applies to iPad and even some BlackBerry (except that there’s no such thing as jailbreak in BlackBerry) owners as well.
Check out the infographic after the jump.
Personally, I know a lot of people who belong to “The Unappreciative” and “The Desk Job” types. They can afford it (that’s why they have one) and yet, they don’t really bother about the capabilities of their “smartphone”. To most of them, being smart is being able to play games.
I would like to assume that I’m in “The Overuser” type. I just don’t have yet the nerve to have my iPhone jailbroken. Maybe someday, when the need arises. Continue reading The Seven Types of iPhone Owners Infographic
Warning: the video below contains scenes that may not be so totally acceptable to the faint of heart geeks.
This video is a marketing campaign for the EZGrill disposable grill. I know the idea is not original, as we’ve seen videos like “Will it Blend?” before. Yet, they got our attention just the same.
Who wouldn’t when these people are burning some iPhone4, Android G2, and a Windows Phone 7 HTC Surround:

The Android G2 went out first, followed by the iPhone4, and the HTC Surround lasted the longest.
We could only wish they gave any one of them to us instead.
