Apple Event Sept 1st 2010

According to Dave also known as Lack78 on Youtube, Apple is holding an event on September 1st in San francisco, California. He also stated of rumors going around about Apple's possible new iPod line-up, "Death to click-wheel iPods" and the Apple TV which will possibly be renamed "iTV".

I personally do not believe that everyone should get over worked and overly excited about what might be. By that, I mean the iPod Touch. I wouldn't hold my breath for a FRONT FACING CAMERA ON AN iPOD TOUCH. I don't think Apple will do that. BUT that's just my opinion.

Some of you are wondering: "Why has Apple put cameras on the iPod Nano but not the iPod Touch?"

Answer: Because Apple's iPod Nano were losing sales, so Apple decided to implement a camera onto the iPod Nano.

BECAUSE the iPod Nanos were losing sales, I do not believe Apple will implement the front facing camera onto the iPod Touch.

More on that later.

iPhone 4 Antenna Fail!

iPhone 4 was said that it was Apple's (quote) "... most successful product in Apple's History". What the consumers didn't realize was that they're purchasing a product that had (quote) "reception problems". Apple claims that their iPhone 4 was displaying bars that (quote) "were never real in the first place". Apple also claims that their iPhone was (quote) "... mistakingly displaying 2 more bars then it should for a given signal strength". In other words, if the device displays 4 bars, you really have 2.

"... gripping almost any mobile phone in certain ways will reduce its reception by 1 or more bars". Apple points out that other major phone manufacturers also have that very same issue. "But some users have reported that iPhone 4 can drop 4 or 5 bars when tightly held in a way which covers the black strip in the lower left corner of the metal band. This is a far bigger drop than normal, and as a result some have accused the iPhone 4 of having a faulty antenna design". What the F***? Sounds like Apple is trying to pin the blame on the consumer for the reception issues.

It's not the iPhone 4 itself people. Apple claims that the users of the iPhone 4's (quote) "most likely are in an area with a weak signal strength, but they don't know it because we are erroneously displaying 4 or 5 bars". What does this mean? It's not the iPhone itself. Its the area the user is in (duh). So move! But if you're living in an area that isn't covered well just yet... move anyways if you want better reception.

Sony MDR-NC60 Noise Canceling Headphone Review

I purchased a nice pair of Sony MDRNC60's last month and I'm quite pleased with their sound clarity. I do not like the price of course. It wears nicely and looks nice but it does get tiring after a couple of hours.

Pros:

- Very stylish

- Nice Piano Black

- Sound Clarity

- Sound Isolating

- Comfort

- Detachable cord

Cons:

- Do get tiring after a while

- Not recommended in a car (even if you're not driving; as people open/close doors, you hear a deep "rattle" if the digital cancelation feature is on)

- Price

- Not enough Bass

- Does not FOLD

These pair of headphones are really nice, but I'd honestly have to give it a 3.9/5

They're good for tuning out your mom or wife if and when she gets annoying... you should just listen to her. She's usually right about things.. if you did as she asked, she wouldn't be yelling at you. Think about THAT for a moment.

Anyways, good-ish headphones.

BIG QUESTION: WOULD I RECOMMEND THESE TO A FRIEND???

If you're not a heavy listener, then maybe. Other then that... NO!!! Just buy In-ear-earphones by SkullCandy. You get BETTER SOUND AND DEEPER BASS FOR $20!!! NOT $200 FOR SONY MDR-NC60!!!
