APPLE'S MACBOOK PRO 13 REFRESH

If you're out in the market for a new computer, but would like to purchase a MacBook Pro 13", now is NOT the time to buy as it is almost time for Apple to refresh their MacBook Pro line up. Its been 8 months since Apple's MacBook Pro refresh. So if youre looking for possible updates, here they are:
- NO MORE INTEL CORE 2 DUO; intel core i3 for entry model MBP 13
- Updated GPU's
- firewire 400 ports back (please)
- possible battery life update (for bad or for good)

I was personally disappointed when Apple stayed with the VERY oudated intel core 2 duo CPU's, which leads me to the first possible update, the intel core i3 chip for their entry model MacBook Pro 13. Apple's MacBook Pro 13 and the MacBook White are two very similar products. There is just a fine line seperating the two products which is not sufficient in the eyes of the consumer/customer.

The next possible update is their GPU's. The graphics is fine right now, but we need to see better preformance.

The third possible update would be the possible return of the oh so famous, firewire 400 port as many of us need for camcorders or external hard drives that need firewire 400. The disappointment in customer and or consumer rises with each refresh.

I mentioned earlier that the MacBook Pro 13 will finally get the power it deserves with the intel core i3 chip but because of this, the battery life may be decreased significantly. This leads to another thought; Apple may just want to reserve the i3/i5/i7 chips for the higher end computers for sheer power/preformance, and leave the MacBook Pro with a "new" update with 2.66 ghz as its entry model, and 3.06 ghz with the higher end MacBook Pro 13. But still leaving it behind with the Intel Core 2 duo chips.

Will Apple listen to their customers and or consumers for greater power and better preformance? Or will Apple ignore their customers and or consumers and continue with what they believe will be best for the consumer or customers? We will find out in just a few weeks in the keynote with Mr. Steve Jobs.

APPLE MACBOOK PRO UPDATES

Its been 8 months since apple's macbook pros got their update, and in about a month or so, Apple's macbook pros will get its update on its processor, HDD, graphics and the screen realestate.

Apple's macbook pros currently have intel core 2 duo, which is seriously out of date, and its about time the 13 inch macbook pros DESERVE the "pro" title. The graphics need to also be updated a little, but with respect to the macbook pro's screen realestate.

I'm unsure that apple will update its HDD as it is large enough, and with $50 more, you can purchase a larger HDD. Or you can purchase one at Fry's. The current size of the HDD in the base model macbook pro (13) is 250 GB. So i dont think that apple will update its HDD.

The screen realestate will probably be a no because it hasnt been updated (when it SHOULD be).

That's all for now, and keep checking in on here and apple.com for the latest updates and news

LG ALLY TIPS AND TRICKS

Do you have an LG Ally, and is sick of its lag? Well you dont need to be irritated anymore because you can download the application called LauncherPro free at the Market place. Its an orange square application with a black house in it.

This application is marvilous because it provides smooth scrolling, and great features that allows you to set the home screen, behavior, dock settings and much more.

Using this application for about 2 hours, ive noticed a HUGE improvement in overall PREFORMANCE. Do NOT use live wallpaper for this application as you will notice the lag. Just using a simple wallpaper will be suffiecient. Im pretty sure i spelled that word wrong but thats ok. Haha.

Go to your marketplace application right now and download Laucher Pro and also, just for fun, find a Nexus Rev. Application in your market place today. =)

LG ALLY RENAMED LG PROBE DUE TO ITS PROBLIMATIC AREAS

A local in beaverton, oregon states that LG's first android, then Ally should be properly renamed the LG Probe due to the user's numerous encounters with its problimatic areas.

The Ally seemed to be a decent phone, but the last decent phones I've used in the past 6 years have been just that; decent. "The Ally comes short on decent. In fact, the phone is so problimatic, it shouldn't even be CONSIDERED 'decent' thats how poorly designed it was" says a local teenager whose had his Ally for 3 months now. "Nothing But trouble" says another local from the Portland Metro area. "This Phone may be pretty, but you may need to ask yourself again before you shell out $150 for a phone. Some might say you get a great keyboard, but if that's the only 'great' feature about the phone, then I'm better off spending an extra $20 for LG's Vortex."

What do you consider as a consumer when youre out phone shopping again? I personally consider how well the phone actually functions rather than the way it looks. But because of the fancier, nicer, "cooler" looking smart phones and PDA's out on the market with winmo, apple or android OS, the consumers seem to care little about how well the product actually functions until they actually purchase and testdrive the product for a few days.

A lot of people are looking into smart phones these days for email, text or even yes, video chatting with relatives over the holidays. Some local nerds and geeks predict that the home computer may be very soon obsolite as phones become more and more advanced. People dont just use phones to make phone calls anymore. Many people use their smart phones such as blackberries, winmo, iphone, or android phones to watch and upload vids to youtube, send and print photos, sync music with their apple tv, and more. A phone nowadays can do much more than just make a call. And the LG Ally is not short of THAT.

Would i recommend this phone still? Yes if they dont mind a fe glitches here and there.

Apple iPod Touch 2nd Generation

It seems to me that the all might apple inc. Has a problem with their ipod touch. As if that were anything new, right? The iPod touch has always been my choice ipod whenever going anywhere. But because of some... Many... Technical issues surrounding the iPod touch, it may not be the choice iPod for consumers.

You're going to blow $230 on an iPod. If you're smart, you're going to purchase a case for your device. But wait, what's the point in having a case if the case is going to scratch your device? Well, that's where Zagg comes in! Zagg is a company in which they specialize in making "cases" for any mobile device known to man. Well, almost all mobile devices. Some would include the famous cell phone and ipod craze, laptop computers, digital cameras and more!

Say you buy an iPod touch, an iSkin case, and a zagg case thing. The iPod alone will cost you $230, both cases will cost you $30 each. In the end, youre spending $290 on a product that will last you a little over a year, and SOMETHING will go wrong with your device. Things such as the headphone jack not working properly, the display might become "bent" and then cracked, you will get a dead pixel right in the middle of your beautiful "Retina Display" too! Many many technical issues surrounding the device that Apple Inc. Has not yet taken care of!

Say you want an iPod Nano (the newest generation with the touch screen). Sure. The device is amazing and gorgeous! But what's the point in having an "iPod touch mini"? Sure its cute looking, but I kinda miss being able to play games on the nano.

Or maybe you have a shit load of songs that you listen to. So you purchase the iPod classic with 120 GB of flash memory. Cool. Just enough space to add your library of 10 million songs from every single artist on itunes and from other countries. Great. But you will still need to purchase a case (as most people do). But it does not matter when you purchase the case. Because you are still spending money added to your device.

Ex: you purchase an ipod classic. A month later you buy full protection case from zagg. A week later you add an outer case for your device. Say your ipod classic costs you $300. And both cases total in $60. Doesn't that sound a bit pricey?

The best way of how to manage your money is to purchase everything in cash. When you lay those $20's out on the counter, you're going to want to pull back, like that time jillian did when she found out that bryan griffen didnt want to move in with her. She dumped him. Poor dog.

But anyways, you will have a lot of problems with iPod devices. Esp the iPod touch. So be wise when purchasing an iPod. Buy with cash.
