Review: AGF Beetle Case for iPhone 4 (AT&T/Verizon)

The Beetle comes in at a very cheap price point ($17.95 USD) on http://AGFindings.com, but is it worth getting it? I think it is worth trying it out for 18 bucks, with their different color combos and relatively good protection in a sleek, thin package. There are definitely some quality issues with materials used and construction, but you cant expect much for under $20.

Will OS X Lion be released tomorrow?

During today’s Q3 earnings call, Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer disclosed that OS X Lion will be released tomorrow in the Mac App Store. It caught a few people off guard because it was in his opening statement. Not many people would announce something that big in the opening statement.

Review of the MacBook Air

Today, I'm going to do a review of the MacBook Air. 

Firstly, I want to mention that the MacBook Air is great for travel.  It's extremely thin, light-weight and can fit into most laptop bags and backpacks.  You could probably even fit it into a binder and no one would know you had it with you.

The MacBook Air is one of the thinnest laptops in the world and yet it also packs a punch of processing power.  It includes a 1.4 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo, 120GB SSD, and a Nvidia GeForce 320M.

The surprising thing with this laptop is how much it can do with specs like it has.  It's very good for everything from web browsing to basic movie editing in iMovie.  It can usually multitask very well and is comparable to my "27 i7 iMac in a lot of cases.  I've also used it to make screencasts before for my YouTube channel and it works very well while doing that.  It also think it isn't too bad for importing or exporting video in iMovie but not nearly as fast as my iMac and don't recommend it for advanced editing. 

I also like the battery life.  The battery life isn't that great when the WiFi is turned on but when you turn off the Bluetooth and the WiFi it can last for usually about 2-3 hours on a full charge.

My Rating: 8/10

It's a great laptop but I wish it could have a better GPU.  Other than that, it's a great laptop!

What do you think?  Post it in the comments!

Brief Overview: Mac OS X Lion (10.7)

At WWDC 2011 (World Wide Developers Conference) this week, Apple previewed three new products: iCloud, iOS 5 and the next version of Mac OS X: 10.7 Lion.

The new operating system has many UI tweaks since Snow Leopard giving it a fresh feel. Apple are bringing features from iOS to Mac OS X like Launchpad. Launchpad is basically like the iOS home screen but on your Mac. It shows all of your applications, folders and games. Just like on iOS, you swipe to scroll through applications.

Another feature is Mission Control which merges Expose and Spaces into on separate screen.

Mac OS X Lion features full-screen apps so you can focus on what you are working on, and nothing else.

Multi-touch is a key part of OS 10.7. Scrolling has been redesigned simply for multi-touch. Launchpad requires multi-touch. If you are using a standard USB mouse, now is the time to upgrade to an Apple Magic Mouse or an Apple Magic Trackpad.

One more thing. You will be able to buy Mac OS X Lion only from the Mac App Store in July. The CD-ROM is dead.
