Apple TV Review

Hello everyone, Alex here from ace4vikings productions. Today I am doing a written and video review (you can see above) of the Apple TV. The Apple TV can do many great things with your iTunes content, which I will be explaining to you today. The Apple TV can connect to your HD TV via component cables or HDMI. When you first turn on your Apple TV, you will be asked to open iTunes on your Mac or PC. Under the Devices category you will see, APPLE TV, and be asked to name your device. You can name it anything you want. You will also be asked to sync your iTunes content onto your Apple TV. You can choose to do the automatic sync or you can do a custom sync. For a custom sync you can choose what to sync in your iTunes library instead of syncing all of your content. The Apple TV has a few distinct categories such as Movies, Music, TV Shows, Podcasts, Photos, Internet, and Settings. Please let me break down each category (excluding settings). The Apple TV has a 160 GB Hard Drive. The Apple TV costs $229.

Movies: You can browse all of the newest released movies and purchase or rent a movie in standard or HD quality. You can browse by New Releases, Top Sales, Genre etc. Sometimes a new released movie won’t be available to rent until a certain date. Remember the Apple TV is synced to your iTunes account, so you can purchase or rent the movie right on the Apple TV. Standard quality movies usually cost $14.99 to buy and $19.99 to purchase in HD.

TV Shows: Browsing all of the latest released TV Show episodes is very easy with the Apple TV. You can browse by category such as, Top Shows of the Year, TV Network, Hottest TV Episodes, etc. A TV Episode usually costs $1.99 in standard quality and $2.99 in HD quality.

Music: You can browse and buy all of the newest released music on the Apple TV. You can choose from the Top Songs, New & Noteworthy, and by Genre of Music. A song usually starts at $0.99 or $1.29.

Podcasts: Browsing Podcasts is made simple with the Apple TV. You can now watch a full video podcast on your HD TV, instead of using your very small iPod or iPhone Screen.

Photos: Syncing your photos is very easy with the Apple TV. You can sync photos from your Mobile Me or Flikr account. You can even make a custom screen saver out of your photos downloaded onto your Apple TV.

Internet: The Internet feature gives you full access to YouTube and an Internet Radio. Watching YouTube is great on the Apple TV. You can browse by the Featured Videos, Most Viewed, etc. You can even log in to your YouTube account and view your favorite videos.

Thank you for taking the time to read my review. I hope this review was useful and helped you out.

RedLaser App Review - Save $$$

RedLaser, Occipital $1.99, has gotten great ratings leading to over $1,000,000 in sales for the two developers already. Use the app for five minutes and you’ll see why. The app is very accurate, quick and simple to use. After scanning a barcode, RedLaser uses Google product search to find online prices. It also keeps a list of your scanned items where you can mark your favorites or email a copy. The app also contains manual entry of UPC barcodes in case you can’t scan the barcode.

Outside App Review and Giveaway

Looking at the weather has never been so nice! Outside developed by Robocat is the nicest and best weather app for the iPhone and iPod Touch, in my opinion. It features animations for rain, snow, wind and more. As well as push notifications for specific weather conditions. The graphics are extremely nice and the animations crisp and smooth. I highly recommend this app. Though it is $2.99, it is that expensive because of the push notification service. Inside the video review, is a giveaway.

We're Back: Fluttr for iPhone

So it's been a long few months and we've finally submitted to Apple and are waiting for approval. Despite some minor setbacks we've finished what we had started and are super proud. This just goes to show to power of teens and tech nowadays.  Anyways, here's a video demo for your viewing pleasure.

Bouncedown: iPod touch/iPhone App Review

Bouncedown is an app which is currently at the very top of the 'Top 25' Free Downloaded apps. Personally, I have no idea why Jagex have made it free though.

This app is great, It's very addicting and has already given me hours of fun when I would otherwise have been bored. There is a vast selection on which controls you use which is great because it means more users will get to play the way they are suited to.

Though there are not many cons, one has to be that there is no online leaderboard - I question why but hopefully there will be one in an update soon.

I can only tell you all, Get this app because it's so much fun! Maybe not absolutely everyones cup of tea, but I'm sure it isn't just me who finds this addicting! I've never had so much fun moving sideways on platforms that are moving upwards towards spikes. Once you set a high-score though - You just wanna beat it!

The User Interface is nice, and the design is very fun and suites the target audience - however I am one 16 year-old who looooves the design. The animated background featuring the blue blob character thing really sets it off and looks great!

Overall I think the app is great (as you can probably tell!), and I apologise for the vast amount of Exclamation Marks in this post - but the app deserved them ;]
