Will add more tonight

Still can’t put circle’s in circles (ie. hierarchical organising), need to add people to each circle you want them in (eg. work, tech, Apple, iPads, etc)

iPhone5

Yea that got your attention right. Well the post is to say its not coming.

Apple WWDC held June 2011 sold out in under 12 hours. At $1600 a ticket, that really is something.

The latest iPhone was announced at this conference (not MacWorld) over the last couple of years, but the rumour is NOT this year.

All I’m sayn

 

 

Vimeo

official iPhone app – FREE

 

Consider it a one-stop shop for watching, recording, editing and delivering video to Vimeo.

World Backup Day

Yes you missed April 1st, so go do your backup NOW

Playmobil

PLAYMOBIL(TM) Apple Store Playset

Allows kids to get used to shopping at a real Apple Retail Store.

Great for all kids of all ages to get the real Apple experience.

Looks to me like it has a real Steve Jobs doing the iPhone4 release presentation. But knowing Apple, this will be held back to only be available with the next release playset.

Keen to find education pricing so as to get into every school possible.

iPad2 – The Reviews

Gamespot: Apple iPad 2 Review

So, is the iPad 2 the tablet to beat in 2011? No doubt.

The good:
Apple’s iPad 2 is dramatically thinner and boasts front and rear cameras, FaceTime video chat, a faster processor, and 3G options for both AT&T and Verizon.

The bad:
The iPad’s screen resolution hasn’t budged, photo quality is mediocre, there’s still no Adobe Flash support, and ports for HDMI, USB, and SD all require adapters.

The bottom line:
The iPad 2 refines an already excellent product. Its user-friendly interface, vast app catalog, and marathon battery life bolster Apple’s claim to being the king of tablets.
