iPhone 4.0 to bring new features to the iPad before the iPad comes out?

Now, we all thought that the iPad was going to come with iPhone 4.0 as well as a new iPhone. Unfortunately...it did not. But, Apple has introduced new iPhone OS versions around March historically. So, it's safe to say, March will yield the iPhone 4.0 software. But the iPad is also coming out in March. And I don't believe this to be coincidence. I think the iPad and iPhone will gain a bunch more features in the next few months; very soon. The iPad will almost definitely get multitasking, and I think the iPhone will as well, but only the next model, which will most likely have the same processor as the iPad. And, being a developer, I can give you a tour of it. I get all beta OS's early.

Chill. The iPad is here, man...

It appears everyone hates the iPod, and that, basically, it's a big iPod touch. Well, they're right. It is a big iPod touch. The same people also say it won't be successful. Well, they're wrong. Because while it is a big iPod Touch, it's not just that.

The iPad has a few killer features.

1. A 1GHz processor. That may not be too astounding, considering the Nexus One has the same clock speed. However, this chip was custom designed by Apple to integrate incredibly well with the software, and other hardware components. This also allows a multitouch UI that has many more little tricks than the iPhone's UI.

2. An LED screen. Very high contrast ratio and refresh rate...an awesome movie-watching experience. Not only that, but the high contrast ratio puts little strain on your eyes while reading, almost as little as a Kindle.

3. Very sensitive multitouch. Bob Mansfield said it himself; over 1,000 multitouch sensors. This means that, coupled with the big screen and fast processor, the iPad is a screaming fast device.

4. Apps made just for the iPad. The iPad scales up iPhone apps to full screen, but apps designed specifically for the iPad will be able to do magnificent things, and have more computing power for awesome graphics. OnLiveshould look gorgeous on it, as they are building an iPhone app, and most likely, an iPad app.

5. It will always be updated. Not really a feature, but if you don't like the iPad, know Apple will always have to add features in the future.

6. Feels great in your hand. Need I say more?

7. Books. Again, needs no explaining.

So, while I think the iPad will be not incredibly successful, Apple will sell many. This device has true potential, and Apple has taken the first big step towards something even better. And yes, I will be buying one, and I will have an unboxing video up on my YouTube channel, along with tons of other great Apple/Tech content.

The iPad was truly made magical by the innovative and extensive multitouch gestures. It's not the hardware, or number of features. It's the refined elegance and the improvement over the iPhone OS.

Will you be switching to Verizon?

We almost definitely know the iPhone will come out on Verizon. Will you be switching over?

Nobody complained about AT&T before the iPhone came out because no phone ever used so much bandwidth. No phone was so data intensive. AT&T was not prepared and their network quality took a large dive; dropped calls, fluctuating reception; just really crappy overall service.

But is Verizon prepared? If everyone with an iPhone switches to Verizon, then will Verizon become just as bad as AT&T? And will AT&T have less users, and therefore have more bandwidth available to the customer? Will AT&T's quality go up?

I guess we'll see. Because I do think that AT&T will get much better when everyone's on Verizon. I think I'll stick with AT&T when I buy my next iPhone. Then if Verizon can put up with the network load, I will go with them for the next iPhone.

Wednesday! Wednesday! Wednesday!

I'm sure you all know... Wednesday, January 27th, 2010... The day Apple, once again, changes the world. You've seen my past predictions, so I'll only tell you about the latest developments. Yes, I heavily predict a Verizon iPhone. AT&T just has no more room to expand. It's plain and simple. Possibly Sprint, and T-Mobile too. I also see a possibility for them to sell an unlocked GSM model. Maybe.

Also, I know Apple will announce... read more at www.bitefromtheapple.com

Shiny Products on the Way!

We are getting increasingly closer to Apple's release of the iSlate/Tablet/iPad, and rumors are a dime a dozen. This is a quick post; I wrote an in-depth analysis previously.

I think the Slate will have FREE 3G, and will cost around $1000, maybe just under. If Apple doesn't subsidize the device, then I think this is very likely. Amazon's Kindle has this, and would be one of the biggest selling points. However, if Apple DOES subsidize it, I think the Slate will be around $600, and have a $20-30 monthly data plan that permits VOIP, from AT&T and/or Verizon. I think Apple has sorely learned that AT&T is well, AT&T.
