Why Android Will Ultimately Fail

Android has some impressive features. It can run multiple apps at once, supports the 1GHz Nexus One, and overlays demographic data onto a map.

And that is precisely why they'll fail.

If you are a geek, you may want more out of the iPhone or the iPad. You want the ability to customize the UI, run multiple apps at once, and download apps that may or may not be damaging to the core services of your phone. All these things must be done with some knowledge of how technology works; how processors deal with tasks, for example. If you are running multiple apps, you'll need to figure out which app is a CPU hog, and quit it. This is easy if you're a geek. But, if you're an average user, this may be incredibly hard to comprehend.

The 1984 Mac introduced the GUI. The GUI revolutionized computers… It let users run a computer without extensive knowledge of how it actually works… no need to know any command line whatsoever. The iPhone is doing that with cell phones. It's simplifying the cell phone. Yet, making it more powerful. So you don't have to deal with a task manager on a mobile device.

I wanted to keep this brief, but you can view the continuation here.

Apple iPad: Give It Chance

Recently, there has been a truck load of hate aimed at the new Apple iPad; mostly from people have not used it, but interestingly enough, Apple fans and fanboys. The iPad is a letdown in many eyes, but I believe that is because of the way far fetched rumors and eye popping fake images. People overhyped the iPad and were then let down. Here is why I am defending the iPad and why you should give it another chance! Leave some comments below or add a video response to the video.

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.

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 ;]
