Well, after a long delay, I duly waited in line at my nearest Apple store to get my iPad. I went for a 32Gb WiFi version.
This post is being typed in the iPad Wordpress app. The keyboard is superb in my opinion.
I also got the Apple case which should offer some protection.
I am looking [...]

So Apple launched their iPad this week. Almost two years ago it was the Macbook Air.
When the Air launched opinion was devided; Many praised the refreshing lightweight design. Others complained about the lack of features (many argue that these features are never, if hardly, used – including myself).

Like many, I queued at my local Apple store to pickup a new iPhone 3 GS. This device is well worth the upgrade. The new features work well and the speed bump is terrific.

With Apple stating that its not interested in the Netbook market…
Netbooks have cramped keyboards, small screens, “junky” hardware and bad software, said Tim Cook, chief operating officer of Apple, during a fiscal second-quarter earnings conference call on Wednesday 22 April 2009. They don’t offer the “consumer experience” that Apple wants to offer through its Macintosh [...]

The other day I was watching the LUXE.TV channel here in the UK.
Along with the images a background soundtrack played. This sounded good and I wondered what it was. I had my iPhone to hand and launched the Shazam application.
After I had tagged the music (from about 4 feet away from the TV) I learned [...]

UPDATE
The playlist have been created and the sync is complete. As we have a pair of the high-end Apple ear-phones we used these and the sound quality is very good. On a par with an iPhone at least. The voice-over function also works well and after the remote has been used a couple of times [...]

Spend a few hours with Apple Inc. products and you will really start to appreciate the thought that goes into the design.
Recently I purchased a white iPhone 3G and have been impressed with the quality and design of the hardware and the software.
I like the colour white so quite often I place my iPhone [...]
