Unboxing: GoPro Hero 2 Motorsports Edition

I've been teasing this video for a while so without further adue, here is the unboxing of the GoPro Hero 2 Motorsports Edition.

To hear about my first 24 hours with this camera, read my blog post: http://foreverg5.com/post/24541819814/1-day-with-the-gopro-hero-2-motorsports-edition

As mentioned, I will be doing many more videos regarding this portable, waterproof camera. I am actually going to be recording a vlog entirely with the GoPro for testing purposes to be uploaded on this channel. Be sure to subscribe to get that video in the near future!



Thank you so much for the continued support! Leave your questions below and I will address them in my first impressions video for the GoPro HD Hero 2!

HTC One S Unboxing & Boot Up

This is my full unboxing and first impressions of the HTC One S, which is one of three brand new HTC smartphones in the 'One' line. Originally debuted in April, I've finally got my hands on a review unit. Huge thanks to HTC and ParadigmPR for making this possible.

I'll be using this phone for the next couple of weeks and putting it to the absolute test. I've actually already been using it as my primary phone for the past few days and I am blown away by the speeds, and capabilities. I'll go into further detail in the review, but this may be an iPhone killer in my mind.

This phone has been provided as a review unit, on the Virgin Mobile network in Ontario, Canada.

Unboxing: iPad 3rd Generation (Black 64GB Wi-Fi + 4G) & Smart Cover (Green)

Finally, just under a month of the New iPad being released, I have finally got my hands on one. 

I went with the Black 64GB 4G Model, I felt that this model suited my needs more than the other models. I was very excited to finally receive it! 

There is only so much I can say about the third generation iPad's Retina Display - it is simply amazing. The screen is so good that it looks fake. The 2048x1536 resolution is magnificent. 

Coming from a first generation iPad user, I wanted to see how the speeds have improved. It seems to be a lot more snappier compared the the first generation iPad (obviously). I was particularly impressed whilst playing Grand Theft Auto III on the super-slim tablet. It was a very pleasant experience over all. 

As you all know, the camera's on the iPad 2 where horrific, both front and rear facing camera's where less than 1 mega pixel each. Apple bumped up the quality in the third generation iPad to a 5 mega pixel camera on the rear, also capable of full 1080P HD Video Capture, however, the front facing camera remains of VGA quality, which is a small disappointment. Pictures are reasonable, but not on par with the iPhone 4S (8 mega pixel). But when you think about it, who is going to take a photo or video on their tablet?! 

Photo taken with the third generation iPad:

In the UK, we don't have 4G LTE, yet. But, we do have 3G. Speeds have been great and actually faster than Wi-Fi at some points. Great experience, so far. 

Dictation is the Siri equivalent found on the iPad, so you can write an email, send a text, search the web, tweet a thought, and more. And do it all with only your voice. 

The green Smart Cover that I purchased along side the third generation is great, although I did order myself a Maroo Awanui II case for my iPad for more protection. The green Smart Cover seems to be a lot more vibrant in real-life compared to some pictures where the colour looks extremely washed out. I have not had a problem with the Smart Cover, this is certainly an excellent accessory. 

So, what do I think of the new third generation iPad? It is amazing! I don't doubt for one minute that it is the best tablet on the market. The screen is amazing, speed is great and Dictation is fun. Would I recommend it? Definitely.

Unboxed: YouTube Lighting Kit

Watch me fail at unboxing and setting up this cheap studio lighting kit I bought off of eBay! I bought this kit to light my already poorly lit room at residence in Toronto. It should allow me to film more videos during the evening and in my spare time when natural light is very dim. Enjoy the video! You can check out the eBay seller here if you'd like to purchase.

Why I Bought a 15" MacBook Pro

Many of you may have read the tweets but may not know the whole story. Last week, my 13" Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro suffered water damage. I was forced to replace it with a 15" Quad Core i7 MacBook Pro. Though the purchase was sudden, I am loving this machine. Here is the full explanation and my first impressions after a week with this computer.



Some of the main differences I've noticed is that the 15" screen can't be beat. Regardless of the larger screen size, this machine is still super portable and thinner than I was expecting. The speakers are also independent of the keyboard on the higher end 15" and 17" models so the sound quality is much better! I'm really appreciating the HD Facetime cam as well. Expect many more MacBook Pro videos in the near future.

Thanks for your continued support and I hope you are as excited as I am for my new project coming up!
