The New iPad
Ok, I wasn’t going to buy a new iPad, but I did. I decided to sell my iPad 2 because I just wasn’t using it much. I didn’t pre-order the new one. I happened to go into Best Buy over the week-end, though, and saw that the screen resolution was so stunning. When they said that they had quite a few in stock, I bought the white, 64GB with WIFI but not 4G since I never used it on the iPad 2. Anyway, I love the enhanced resolution and the dictation feature. The iPad 2 is still an amazing iPad, but the New iPad just takes it to another level. Hopefully, I’ll use this one more than I did the iPad 2.

Talking to Siri
If you have the latest Apple iPhone 4s, you also have Siri, the voice assistant. I recently found an ebook on Amazon called Talking To Siri by Erica Sadun and Steven Sande. Even though there are so many things that Siri can do, this book describes more efficient ways of voicing a request and also reveals tips about how to make the most of the service. There are many more things that you can do other than send messages, schedule meetings and place phone calls. For only $4.99, you can learn all about talking to Siri.

Apple iPhone 4S
I just received an
Apple white iPhone 4S with 32gb. I previously had the iPhone 4. I’m really enjoying the intelligent assistant, Siri. I use the voice recognition technology when talking about the weather, the calendar and appointments, contacts, phone calls, email, text, notes and reminders. Also, the camera is 8 megapixels with a faster image sensor, which makes it better in low light. The images appear crisp and clear. Last, but not least, there’s the more powerful A5 chip and the new HSDPA radio for 3G+ download speeds.

iLap by Rain Design
I’ve been trying unsuccessfully to find the perfect laptop stand to use in bed and on my desk with an external monitor. I’ve bought several, only to discard them. I’ve tried the ones with the fans on the bottom, only to realize that the fans are pretty useless on the Macbook Pro because the vents are in the back along the hinge and not the bottom. I finally got the iLap by Rain Design.

Mac OSX Lion
Did you install Apple’s Lion yet? Naturally, being the Apple addict that I am, I downloaded it on the first day in the first hour that it was available in the App store. Everything went smoothly except the Launchpad had doubled my applications, but I found a solution for that by reading the Apple forums. My favorite feature is Mission Control. I seldom used Spaces in Snow Leopard, but I think MC is more user friendly. I like not having multiple windows cluttering my desktop. I also like Launchpad. I’ve reduced the applications in my doc to four: Safari, iCal, Mail, and Twitter. Finder, Mission Control and Launchpad, and Trash are also there, but they aren’t applications.
