iPad 2 to Possibly Be Announced on March 2

If all of the rumors are true, Apple will be holding a event in San Francisco on March 2 to announce the iPad 2. This amidst speculation that the iPad 2 would be delayed and other rumors involving the health of Steve Jobs. If Apple does announce the iPad 2 it is almost certain that it will feature a front-facing camera and be thinner than the original, 0.5-inch thick tablet. There will also likely be a performance boost with a RAM upgrade and possibly even dual-core processors.

Some other rumors involving the iPad 2 are that it might feature a retina display. However, the display will probably just be improved since adding a retina display of that size would likely result in a decent price increase. I really hope a gyroscope is added since seeing it on the iPhone 4, games have a more realistic feel to them which leads to a better user experience.

Steve Jobs, 6 Weeks to Live: My Thoughts

I don't usually post personal blog posts on TekSocial, but this I might just to gather everyone's opinions.Jobs, back in the day Please, set aside 5-10 minutes of your time to read and comment on this post.

It has been announced in various news articles that Apple CEO, Steve Jobs, who took time off to focus on his health, has been given 6 weeks to live. This is due to the fact that he has pancreatic cancer, which grows on part of your digestive system. For the faint hearted, the pancreas is a 6-inch long gland and is shaped like a leaf. It provides insulin, unless you're diabetic and releases hormones which revolve around digestion. 

Earlier on, I watched a video Chris Pirillo recorded and published to YouTube, claiming that when he announced the news to his near 92,000 followers on Twitter, a 'kid' messaged him back saying that he will 'celebrate his death'. Why? I'm unsure.

What Jobs has created, a company that only recently claimed the top spot of the computing market, a music device range that has changed the music industry and the people around us, why must someone come to their senses and say such a negitive and disgusting thing. Sure, he may be a kid, no younger than 13 unless his parents don't know he's on Twitter but use some common sense at least, especially when you're talking to a person you don't know in person who has so much power on the internet.

If Jobs pulls through his hard time, or not, we should all remember what Steve has created. A range of products that has made us, 'Think Differently'.

Verizon Test Man with iPhone 4

Verizon is getting better and better with advertising. Now they have the iPhone 4. With this advertisement, it blew me away. Verizon really did an amazing job on this commercial. It's encouraging me to live Verizon more and that's pretty sad considering  before they received the iPhone, I hated them. Don't get me wrong, I still love AT&T, but Verizon's ads are starting to pull me to them.

4-inch iPhone 5 Retina Display Screen?

Recent rumors suggest that the 5th generation iPhone will feature a 4-inch Retina Display screen. According to Apple's component suppliers:

The component suppliers noted that the production lines for Apple's next generation iPhone have begun testing, and Apple is interesting in expanding the screen size to 4-inches to support the tablet PC market as the vendor only has a 9.7-inch iPad in the market.

It's believed that this increase in screen realestate from the previous iPhone measuring at 3.5-inches, is due to the up-and-coming competition of various Android devices. Recently released Android devices are boasting much larger '4 to 7-inch' screen's. It can be assumed that Apple may be testing a beta iPhone 5 with this reported screen size, but will this beta see the light of day? In this video, I provide my opinion on the rumored iPhone 5 4-inch screen, feel free to give input on your opinion as well.

Review of iPhone 4: One Month Later

In just 2 days I'll have had my iPhone 4 from AT&T for exactly 1 month. Must I say, this is the best phone i've ever had in my life. It does everything I want, and more. Below is my review of the iPhone 4 after having it for 1 month.

First off, the iPhone 4 has some amazing features. One of it's key features is it's front FaceTime capable camera. It look amazing and it's one of the best features you could ever ask for on a mobile phone. The issue? You can only do it where there's WiFi, but in Apple's introduction of the iPhone they said that is only in 2010. Maybe we'll be able to Facetime on 3G sometime soon! The phone is extremely fast with it's A4 processor. It handle's multitasking extremely well. The AppStore has over 300,000 applications. The AppStore is really what makes the iPhone what it is. It's super thin, light, feels good in your hand, and it's just flat out amazing. The only issues I've had with it is that it's a MicroSIM, but that's understandable because they needed the space for it's size. Overall, I love this phone and I look forward to seeing what Apple has to offer on the next generation iPhone.
