Awesome iTunes 9 Mod (Mac and PC)

I was just browsing through one of my favorite sites, Deviant Art and I found this amazing mod for iTunes 9! It is available for Mac OSX, Tiger and up, as well for Windows, Windows Vista and 7. 

Windows Version - http://rfly.me/win

Mac OSX Version - http://rfly.me/mod

Now, the installation is self explanatory, but I have also attached a video doing so and what it looks like. Thanks for reading and watching!

The iPad's Niche Market

There is a lot of hype about Apple’s new iPad. Their newest tablet device. But who is this iPad for? The problem with tablets is that’s hard to figure out who they’re for. In my personal opinion, the iPad will come in handy for a lot of people. Here are some of the instances where an iPad would work well. 

One market of people this is for is for people who travel a lot. Let’s face it, you’re on the plane for 8 hours, it’s cramped, and you don’t adequate room for your 17” MacBook Pro. So you pull out your iPad. Since it has a reported 10-hour battery, you can read your favorite eBook, play 2x apps or surf the web with either 3G or WiFi.

The second use for the iPad would be for around the house. Whether you’re looking for a recipe in the kitchen with the AllRecipes Dinner Spinner, or finding out the name of that song on IMDb in the living room. I think the iPad is a really good around the house type of computing device. It’s small enough to where it is easy to carry around and will get the job done for all the little computing odds and ends you need to take care of. 

The third and final market in my opinion of for kids. Mainly ages 10-14. The iPad has been speculated to be just an iPod touch of steroids. Since the iPod touch has flourished in the market, I imagine it would be very popular among young adults. Since it is compatible with all App Store apps, it would be a very smooth transition for those coming from a smaller iPod. 

So in conclusion, who do you think the iPad’s niche market is? You know my opinion, so I want to hear your opinion. Leave a comment below.

The iPad is not a large iPhone. The iPhone is a small iPad.

I am very excited for the next iPhone…

I think it will have some great features, learning from the iPad; a 1GHz processor, an all-aluminum back (like the first iPhone), and a gorgeous screen. Not to mention it'll come with iPhone firmware 4.0! 

Read this article first.

All the past iPhone upgrades have been small. Collectively, all they added was 3G, GPS, a faster processor, and a video camera. Not much to brag about. The Nexus One and Android are a serious threat to the iPhone. While not as elegant and nice, they have many features that some nerds lust about–regardless of the ugly UI. The iPhone needs to stay on top. The first iPhone destroyed competition. The 3G and the 3GS…well…not so much. As Steve himself said, the next iPhone will be an A+ upgrade.

I think with the addition of a powerful processor, the next iPhone will allow multiple apps to be open simultaneously, as well as a 5 megapixel camera, and an incredibly long-lasting battery.

iPad: What You Need To Know

So, there has been a lot of buzz around the iPad. Both good and bad, mostly bad. I'm here to bring you a video on a more neutral side. This video here just explains the specifications of the iPad. It was mostly a spur of the moment video, so I apologize if it is a little unorganized. I will be making a video on my thoughts of the iPad too. So, here you go everyone, info and specs of the iPad. Make sure to check out the post on my TechnoBuffalo sub blog that goes along with this video.

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.
