Apple’s HDTV? Here comes iTV!

Posted on Updated on

Well it’s coming eventually..in 2013 maybe. Confirmed by the Chairman over at Foxconn, iTV is on the way. Chairman Gou also states that “neither development nor manufacturing has begun.” According to TechCrunch.com from China Daily the television set will have an aluminum construction, Siri voice controls and FaceTime video calling. That sounds interesting. It seems like it will be an iPhone, Apple TV (which is basically a terminal), and an iMac all rolled into one. No word on possibly pricing but just know it will be on par with Apple’s usual pricing: high because they can and want to be! I’ll keep you posted.

Apple CEO: 2011 is the year of the iPad 2, not copycats

Posted on Updated on

So the iPad 2 was introduced today and will arrive online and in stores March 11th. It is 33% thinner than the original. I hear it’s beautiful, well as beautiful as technology can be. Apple is the king of innovations and they want you to accept the iPad as a replacement for the PC. The specs in layman’s terms

  • Has a better processor (Dual-core 1GHz A5 processor, which is “up to two times faster” than the previous version, Steve says.)
  • Improved graphics (The GPU goes at nine times the speed as before. says Jobs)
  • Same low power consumption-battery still lasts 10 hours and a month on standby
  • Front facing and rear facing cameras for FaceTime & Photobooth (or any other app, camera on back has 720p HD video capability)
  • Built in gyroscope-just like the iPhone 4
  • HDMI out to TV/Monitor that mirrors what’s on your iPad screen ($39 Apple Digital AV Adapter cable)

  • You can download iMove & Garageband to it-video editing and music software
  • New cover that “attaches magnetically to the iPad 2 and it covers only the screen, adding minimal weight and bulk. Inside, it has a microfiber lining to clean the glass every time to move it. You can fold it to hold the iPad 2 in any position you want.” Apple says.
  • Comes in WHITE as well as the usual Black
  • Available on Verizon and AT&T for the 3G models

Prices: We know how Apples does with new products. Prices will be the same.

Wi-Fi models: $499/16GB, $599/32GB, and $699/64GB.

3G models :$629/16GB, $729/32GB, and $829/64GB.

So what does that mean?!?! YOU CAN GET A 1st Generation iPad for cheaper! 🙂 (around $300 or $400 for base models) Merry Christmas! lol
