What Happened Apple?

Posted on June 8, 2010 by hydle

You release a new iPhone® 4 with iOS 4 that has amazing 1280x720p HD video recording capabilities — with editing… and you can’t stream the WWDC 2010 Keynote Address larger then 643x360p? Sorry Steve – you never looked so bad.

Welcome back 2003 – WTF?

Sorry if it’s just me — but when you are trying to convey new technologies like a 326ppi Retina Display on a new iPhone 4 that has a display resolution of 960×640… you might want to figure out your streaming solutions.

Does the new iPhone 4 allow me to bluetooth pair with my laptop and send sms messages from a keyboard like my T68i from 2001?

New iPhone 3G S (the ski racer)

Posted on June 8, 2009 by hydle

iPhone 3G S now has video capability, faster processing power and longer battery life. It is hard to determine what differences are actually hardware driven and which ones Apple is software marketing into the phone… but this chart should help.

On a green note – the new packaging is 23% smaller then the already minimal packaging. Go Apple.

Thanks to the Engadget crew for creating this short bus chart

Worlds Greenest Notebooks

Posted on June 8, 2009 by hydle

New kids are in town. Which means my current 17″ Unibody MacBook Pro 2.66GHz / 4GB / 320GB is for sale.

Apple claims these are the greenest notebooks available with their revolutionary new built-in battery that can recharge up to 1000 times. That equates to 3x less battery waste over the course of a traditional 5 year standard computer user life cycle and although that really just sounds like a lot of variables to me… they will take less green backs out of your pocket to get one.

13″ MacBook Pro

2.26 GHz / 2GB / 160GB / 9400M + SD Card Slot = $1199
2.53 GHz / 4GB / 250GB / 9400M + SD Card Slot = $1499

15″ MacBook Pro

2.53 GHz / 4GB / 250GB / 9400M + SD Card Slot = $1699
2.66 GHz / 4GB / 320GB / 9400M + 9600M GT + SD Card Slot = $1999
2.80 GHz / 4GB / 500GB / 9400M + 9600M GT + SD Card Slot = $2299
