MacBook Air Laptop Detailed Review - Think Thin, Learn From iPhone

A year after announcing the iPhone, Apple presents its latest laptop: the MacBook Air, which they claim is the thinnest laptop in the world. Is the MacBook Air really the dream laptop for all travelers or does it conceal irreparable gaps?

Presentation

The MacBook Air features a 13.3-inch LED-backlit widescreen display, the MacBook Air has similar dimensions than the MacBook, but its maximum thickness does not exceed 0.76 inches. Just as its predecessor, it presents a wide keyboard, an integrated webcam and the latest operating system Mac OS X "Leopard". In its basic version, it comes with a processor Core 2 signed Duets Intel and rhythmical to 1.6 GHz, the MacBook Air is equipped of 2 Go of RAM, Bluetooth, WiFi 802.11n, and a 80 GB hardrive.

Look, keyboard, touchpad

The MacBook Air is immediately enticing. Breaking with the design of the MacBook and Pro MacBook, that present comparatively rectilinear lines, Apple chose to conceive a chassis with very lightly rounded edges, which contributes to reinforce its thinness impression. The general dimensions establish themselves to 12.8 inches wide and 8.95 inches deep, same as the one of the MacBook, it features a 13.3-inch LED-backlit widescreen display that has a 1280 x 800 pixel resolution.

The MacBook Air weighs a little less than 3 pounds. The body of the shell of the MacBook Air adopts a gray anodized surface similar to what one rediscovers on the Pro MacBook or on the rear face of the iPhone. Rather rigid, this shell makes good impression in the measure where the MacBook Air adorned clearly less fragile than one could have thought initially. Nevertheless, this soft surface to the key marks enough easily, the true nomadic will need a protection slip-cover.

As on the Pro MacBook, this keyboard takes advantage of a back light, rather pleasant when one uses the machine in obscurity, of which the intensity can be regulated regardless of the one of the screen. After several days of use, and the necessary moments of adaptation, the keyboard of the MacBook Air reveals itself very pleasant.

The screen

The MacBook Air has a webcam (640 x 480) of poor quality and a microphone. It has a luminosity sensor that automatically adjusts the intensity of the backlight LED when one is located in a dark area. In this case, the intensity of the lighting of the keyboard diminishes. When you put your finger on the sensor: this one detects instantly obscurity, and the screen intensity diminishes. With a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels, the screen of the MacBook Air offers a work surface less important than the one of certain models 11 inches, with which these the resolution climbs to 1366 x 768 pixels, but Apple guarantees thus a certain visual comfort, with a definition that will suit completely most users. Of brilliant type, the flagstone LCD is luminous, and returns hot colors, rather faithful. By increasing the luminosity, use the Macbook Air in the outside light.

The MacBook Air inaugurates a new generation of touchpad, inspired by the iPhone, the first movable telephone of Apple. It is wider, a traditional touchpad. With three fingers, you can use the navigator Safari... but not with Firefox. Most of these small functionalities do not radically transform the user experience, but are part of the charm of the Apple products.

Connections

The three connectors proposed by the MacBook Air are located on left side, sheltered by a small trap door that, once opened, leaves only little space to reach them. Concretely, if your connector is thick, or if you use a wide USB key, you will not be able to connect them directly. In order to remedy the problem, Apple suggests suing an extension. These are rather inexpensive, but one is now obliged to multiply the cables, which somewhat diminishes the ultra portable aspect of the machine.

WiFi but no DVD

The absence of DVD reader is voluntary (there is not enough thickness anyway). Apple's marketing states that at a time where wires are going away, is it still necessary to have a DVD reader? Apple plays the network card, with an application compatible with Mac as well as Windows XP and Windows Vista that allows DAV and CD use wirelessly. The reader of your principal machine will be able therefore you to serve to install applications, transfer contents towards the MacBook Air and even resettle your operating system but it may take 5 to 10 times longer than using a DVD reader. If that is a major issue you will have to buy an external $99 USB 2.0 based DVD reader.

Speed

Powered by a processor Core 2 rhythmical Duets to 1.6 GHz, engraved in 65 nanometers, the MacBook Air is not a speed demon, and is slower than the other Apple laptops. The choice of Apple is therefore supposed to guarantee a level of acceptable performances for light and medium users.

If you are ready to spend more the MacBook Air comes with a more powerful processor posting a frequency of 1.8 GHz but also and especially of a hard disc to memory Flash of type SSD of 64 Go, similar to the one that integrates in standard Lenovo in his Thinkpad X300. To take advantage of these two improvements, it will be necessary nevertheless to pay out a supplement of some $1,300, which will carry the final price of the MacBook Air to about $3,098.

Performance

Certain applications extremely resource intensive work clearly slowly on the MacBook Air, due to its 1.6 GHz processor. In other words the manipulation of pictures of big size under Photoshop or video editing will put your patience to a certain test.

On the other hand, the manipulation of photos or video sequences by means of iMovie will work without difficulties, and without any notable discomfort. The interface preserves the fluidity that you can expect of Leopard in spite of the poor performances of its processor. The Web navigation, office, music and video use do not suffer from any problem. As for games, let's keep it simple, just choose a different laptop.

Battery Life

Apple talks about an autonomy of about five hours with activated WiFi. While selecting the eco mode proposed by Mac OS X and the screen luminosity to 75% of his capacity, the MacBook Air was able to work during 3h15 before the low battery warning showed up.

Conclusion

One could think that with his MacBook Air, stretched Apple to create a new segment on the laptop market. Its irreproachable design, moderate weight and extreme thinness makes it a good candidate for the ultra portable category. But the impossibility to change the battery or the extremely limited connectivity will stop many professionals who generally like this type of machines. The performance of the MacBook Air will suffice for light traveler users i.e. bloggers, connected fanatics, journalists, and other sales representatives. They will have no difficulty working with photos, compose bills and items or prepare, then to assure a presentation, all profiting from it of his excellent flagstone LCD screen.

Apple has attempted to circumvent some of the handicaps of the MacBook Air. The absence of DVD is compensated by the functionality of take in charge of a reader network on a distant machine, PC or Mac. The idea is interesting, even if in the facts, we cannot envision installing anything sizeable that way. The touchpad is improved, integrating more functionalities coming from the iPhone. Although these improvements do not revolutionize the way one interacts with a computer, they are rather pleasant.

It will be necessary to add to the MacBook Air an external DVD, as well as a USB hub and an adapter USB for the Ethernet to assure a real comfort of usage, and to put it on an equal foot with other machines with equivalent price and functionality. Therefore this diminishes what makes the charm of the MacBook Air: its thinness. The other solution would be to adhere to the idea that the MacBook Air is conceived only as an auxiliary machine, a light portable and elegant one coming to complete your work station for the days where you travel and only do light work.

This beautiful machine suffers from cruel limitations that other computers, sometimes lighter or less costly, do not have. In spite of the beautiful lines and user friendliness of the MacBook Air, it does not deliver the ultra portable promise as expected. The previous MacBook performs better, is more functional, and cheaper!

Of course Google is also announcing ahead of that release their new mobile computing device, with its own operating system and Google map features all in one cell-phone hand held system.

So, be careful in what you buy and watch out for the hype, because when all the big boys come out to play there will be some pretty outrageous hoopla and marketing going on.

Expect movie stars and sports stars running around with various portable devices showing them off and lots of advertising dollars flowing as well. You will see endless stories in the media on these devices as the Mass Media or TV, newspapers, magazines, Internet and Radio court these companies with big advertising budgets.

Article Marketing Mobile Computing - Google, iPhone, Palm, Blackberry and AT&T Video Phone

For those who write online articles be advised that the way that humans communicate by computer is about to change forever. This means the way people get the articles that you write will also soon change. Consider if you will the competition between Google, iPhone, Palm, Blackberry and the new AT&T Video Phones. Everyone is going to offer handheld mobile computing devices.

With the new technologies coming fast with Mobile Computing one has to wonder if online article submission websites should make their articles available to mobile users? Perhaps building mirrored sites especially for mobile users so they can surf the new articles available?

Should such services to web surfers be made feasible by having very simple low byte screens at the cell phone user level. They should be able to search categories and then articles by title and you should have listed the top articles and newest articles, with scaled down graphics for very fast loading. If the user can surf easily an online article submission site very fast, they will, wouldn't you?

Indeed article marketing on the go is just what mobile computing is ready for. Information, when you need it, when you want it and where ever you are. The World is changing and Google, iPhone, Palm, Blackberry and AT&T Video Phone are all vying for the mobile computer user and that means lots of advertising, capital money flows and a massive number of mobile computing handsets will soon be out in public cruising around while surfing for information.

7 Tips To Get The Most Out Of Your iPhone

7 Tips To Get The Most Out Of Your iPhone

The iPhone is undoubtedly the most beautiful and feature packed phone available on the market today. To help you get the most out of your iPhone here are a few tips and tricks;

1. Avoid Scrolling

When you are browsing an internet page, instead of scrolling all the way back up, tap the top of the screen once and it will automatically return to the beginning of the page.

2. Insert a Word in the Dictionary

When you are writing a note and the auto speller erroneously identifies a misspelled word (whether it's an e-mail address or an internet acronym) you can have the word inserted in the iPhone's dictionary by canceling the correction 3 times. Now you can write rofl or wtf as much as you want.

3. Bigger Keyboard

When you are using Safari to browse the web, tap the address bar to bring up the on screen keyboard. Flip the iPhone horizontal and the Safari window as well as the keyboard will switch horizontally which will give you a bigger keyboard making it easier to reply to your favorite blog or forum.

4. Set A Home Destination

If you use the iPhone maps application you may find it inconvenient to always re-enter your home address. Instead you can use the bookmarks button to bookmark your address along with other addresses you may frequently need to find.

5. Take A Screenshot

To take a screenshot of your iPhone's current display, hold the power button and the home button simultaneously. You can find the screenshot picture in the camera folder.

6. Silence An Incoming Call

If you want to silence an incoming call simply press the sleep/wake button. Alternatively you can also press it twice to send the call directly to voicemail.

7. Reset Your iPhone

If your iPhone starts acting up a good reset might be in order. To do so hold the right and home button simultaneously for approximately 7 seconds. Push the top button to power the iPhone on.

Download Free PSP Themes - 3 Essential Tips

Do you want to download a free PSP theme? I think most PSP owners do. The PSP is a tremendously popular piece of electronics equipment, and one that allows it’s owners to be truly unique-who needs Ipod socks when you change the whole way your PSP looks and behaves?

Download A Free PSP Theme Tip 1-Avoid the main site!

For some reason most people only ever bother to look at Sony’s own Playstation website to find a theme for their PSP. How can you ever hope to have a unique PSP if everyone downloads their Theme from the same place? They do have a pretty big selection, but obviously thousands of people will also be looking at them. Avoid it!

Download A Free PSP Theme Tip 2- Use Google

Thousands of people search Google everyday to try and learn how to download a free PSP theme, but all it takes is a little bit of smarts and you can come out on top. Instead of searching for the themes directly from Google, why not search for PSP communities on the web? If you search for forums and newsgroups etc you will almost always find some great resources, either by other forum members or from forum threads etc. This is a great way to find custom-made PSP Themes.

Download A Free PSP Theme Tip 3- Don’t download anything!

Why not use a simple art program on your computer to create a custom Theme? You can create a wallpaper with practically any art program, and as long as you save it as a JPEG file it should be compatible. Alternatively, why not ask someone to make a custom theme for you? If you go to a decent forum with some good Themes, find the person that designs the Themes and ask them if they will make you a unique one. Most times they will say yes, even if they ask for a little money.

There’s more to downloading free PSP Themes than using the same tired old EA games wallpapers etc from the official Sony site, so why not try and be a little original?

The Lowest Price on iPhone Guaranteed - Until the Price is Lowered

The Lowest Price on iPhone Guaranteed - Until the Price is Lowered

Many of us bought one of those new high-tech iPhones for $600 and now the price is suddenly $399 to help boost sluggish sales and to hook all the new customers before the new gPhone comes out by Google? All I can say is that next time a high-priced personal tech item comes in from Apple, I am waiting until the price comes down a month or two later.

Of course, the excuse is that they are cutting price in time for the crucial Holiday Season, which is nearly upon us. This is a huge price cut and had I known I would have surely waited to save the $200.00 and this is exactly the reaction of many of the customers we talked to at Starbucks this afternoon. They feel betrayed by Apple ink and for many of them it was not even the money, more the principle of the thing.

When asked if they would pay the first asking price of the next new high-tech item, they said probably, maybe and no and it was about 33% each. The question is how do you feel about this fact? I suppose if you wanted one, then now you are happy that it is $200 cheaper and if you bought one for the full price, part of you says that is the premium you pay for being on the personal high-tech edge, but it still irks you.

First adopters of technology always pay a premium and bare the brunt of the R and D costs. The Apple iPhone was so highly successful that they have recouped these upfront costs and can now mass market them worldwide and lower the costs on the iPhone flagship models that are sold in the US, nevertheless there are some rather irate iPhone first adopters out there that feel like they have been betrayed. Sincerely, Lance.

Sprint IPhone - Oh Really, So How Does It Compare To The Apple IPhone?

So Apple made us a hot and sexy product. We all want one, even one of the big three networks in America wants one. Introducing the Sprint iphone, the Apple iPhone Look alike created by Samsung.

Don't get me wrong, the name of this phone is not called Sprint iPhone by the manufacturer, its just that it is clearly their version of the popular Apple product that aficionados gave it the name. Most reviewers give the opinion that the design and feature set are poorly laid out. It was like the manufacture just piece things together as they go along. One reviewer said that he thought it was an April fool's joke, when he read the forum feedback. But when he saw the actual phone on Sprint website, he realized that the joke was real and not April fooled.

The complaints and feedback are varied, from the key spacing being small, the screen skirting is being pinched by the bezel, and the numbers don't show up when dialing, how will someone know if they are dialing the right or wrong number. There is a big pause button, difficult to say when this needs to be used. One thing I must say is that the Sprint iPhone is better than the Chinese knockoff which if you handle to rough might just fall apart in your hands.

Now here are the good things about this sprint product. It is Windows Mobile, much better looking than the blackjack. It cost less than Apple's phone, it has some very nice features including GPS, expandable MicroSD memory, voice dialing and more. It also has a nicer look than many other phones on the market.

One thing I must add, while this phone is being beaten up as poor design, I have to say that before Apple spoiled us, this design would be considered sleek. Apple has spoiled us all and as such we are now accustomed to a new form factor that is larger than life itself.

My take is simple, if you can afford the Apple's offering, then get it. It appears to now be the defacto standard in mobile smart phones. However, if price is prohibitive and you want to be in the league without the price tag, and then get the Sprint iPhone look alike. The price to feature ratio is reasonable.

And that's my final answer, cheers.

Apple Iphone Success Attributed To Marketing Genius

The Apple iPhone is being labeled as the most significant device in present day technology. And the apple marketing machinery has managed to pull a coup by generating excitement and through the expectations a demand for the Apple iPod.

June 29th was the launch date and by June 18th AT&T had already logged over 1 million serious inquiries from buyers. In one weekend iPhone sold 700000 phones making an estimated profit of around USD 200 million for Apple.

According to news coverage world wide, Apple ‘s marketing campaign to build up iPhone excitement is perhaps the most successful and talked about effort in recent years surpassing Ford’s Mustang launch in 1964 among many other path breakers.

The pre-sales media coverage was full strength with Apple pulling out all stops. According to JupiterResearch in New York Apple may have spent almost $ 100 million on the introduction campaigns for iPhone. The strategy was to tease out or titillate customers and market watchers. Beginning with a simple hello during the Academy Awards, the initial buzz was word of mouth.

Apple aims to crack the mobile phone market a market that is many times bugger than the computer market. The estimates are that three million iPhones will be sold in the first few months of the iPhone launch.

Apple has played smart and has mastered marketing. It kept interest levels on the iPhone ridding high by revealing small bits slowly and steadily. The iPhone was revealed by CEO Steve Jobs with fanfare at Macworld Expo in January. Then were releases of slick advertisements and video clips on the internet. The iPhone said hello in Marilyn Monroe’s and Robert De Niro’s voice and let people know that it will be coming in June.

The introductory “hello” was followed by close-ups of the iPhone playing a video or displaying a website. TV ads showed customers the ‘hand touch screen” magic and built up expectations. The Apple campaign was designed to create an impact and leave indelible impressions.

Marketing gurus like Al Ries chairman of Ries and Ries acknowledge the genius of Apple in generating pre-sales excitement and expectations for the iPhone. Apple is master of keeping plans under wraps and then unveiling them with a flourish the whole exercise is carefully planned like an opera every movement, dialogue and repartee is pre-planned and executed in a timely fashion.

According to experts at Wharton it is not just marketing. Success is marketing along with a great product, reliable systems, and the right partnerships. Only a master product can live up to expectations.

Apple Inc is a master from Mac to iPhone they are the creators of master pieces.

Sprint IPhone - Oh Really, So How Does It Compare To The Apple IPhone?

The Apple Iphone has done what most companies can only dream of. They have revolutionized the use of the cell phone. The summer launch of 2007 has made a major impact in the way people now view the cell phone market with the internet. The cell phone manufacturers have made many strides in trying to incorporate the cell phone with the internet. Text messaging and viewing .mobi websites are now available thanks to these development. That was then. This is now.

The Iphone has made a major leap in the way people view personal entertainment. The wi-fi feature allows Iphone users to surf the net without burning minutes on their phones service plan. With older cell phones, you are limited to using your minutes just to be online and surfing. With slow data speeds on cell phones, it really is harder to surf with those type of cell phones. Most cell phone displays are not able to view full pages of website ads but can usually show only text. The wi-fi feature allows users to browse the net without any type of phone connection. You are now able to view any website online. This feature alone puts the Apple Iphone ahead of the rest.

Once the Iphone launch happened, many potential customers really wanted to buy the Iphone to use, but not the phone portion of the Iphone. This is when Apple launched their Ipod Touch. The Ipod Touch has pretty much all the Iphone features without the phone. Apple launched the Ipod Touch in the winter of 2007, less than 6 months after the Iphone launch.

The stock Iphone comes with maps, calendar, clock, calendar, contacts list, Youtube and a Safari browser. Although the software is pretty bare, many engineers are pumping out widgets and gadgets for this device today. The unit has the capability to download music, videos, movies, ebooks, photos and more. The viewing screen is what really sets this music and video player ahead of all the rest. You can browse full page websites with the Safari browser. This is where Apple had gotten it right. Due to having their own successful browser in place, the Safari, they were able to incorporate all the Iphone features with their proprietary software.

This is why the Iphone is here to stay. They have captured market share because they have a product that everyone now wants. They have given the world the next best thing. Now it is our turn to incorporate this device and fill up this product with anything our hearts desire. Start downloading music, sports events, movies, wallpapers and anything you can think of. Do your part because without you, its just a I before the phone.

How To Find Quality Yet Affordable iPhone Music Downloads

iPhone music downloads must be one thing on the mind of all proud iPhone owners. After all, the new advanced technology’s baby allows playing up to 100 stored songs, apart from functioning as a regular cell phone. With such possibilities, it would be a sin to leave your wonderful gizmo empty.

Fortunately, there are websites for iPhone music downloads, and they are not limited to iTunes only. Try a search and you will see that the Internet is full of choices – from genuine and reputed to very suspiciously looking ones. However, very rarely it is clear from the first look that the site is a fraud or scammer. Most of the time, lots of marketing tricks don’t let you assess the site properly and you can’t see what might be wrong with it. Below are a few points to pay attention to.

What Kind of Music Files Does the Site Offer?

This should be your first concern as you expect your iPhone music downloads to be of good quality, free from dangerous elements, and compatible with your iPhone. However, if your eyes are set on a fantastic free offer, you have few chances to get all three. Music files that are shared on P2P sites are really not an alternative for your precious new iPhone as they are often infected with viruses, incomplete, or have some nasty stuff instead of the song you want.

Is the Website Easy to Navigate and Use?

You obviously don’t want to waste time trying to figure out heads and tails when you attempt iPhone music downloads. If the site has complicated navigation, no search possibility, lots of confusing pop-ups and a slow downloading speed, move on. Even navigating in a non-member area should give you a good idea of what to expect from the website.

Do They Provide Full Support and Protection?

Easily reachable customer support service, protection from spyware and adware, as well as secure payment processing are signs of a good source for iPhone music downloads. Well-developed FAQ section of a website as well as its own forum, where users can help each other, is big a plus.

What Is the Payment Mode?

Apart from the pay-per-download mode, which turns out to be the costliest in the long run, there are cheaper options. Monthly or yearly subscription plans do offer a discount, but if you want to get iPhone music downloads at cheapest, consider paying for a lifetime membership. In other words, you pay only once to become a member and after that can download unlimited number of files for your iPhone absolutely free. You hardly risk anything, because the membership fee in this case is practically equal to that of a one year subscription.

Looking for quality yet affordable iPhone music downloads, assess your options carefully, read related forums and don’t hesitate to ask for people’s advice.

Davion is an ardent lover of techno gizmos. He runs a hugely popular iPhone review blog where he reveals where you can find unlimited iPhone downloads for pennies. Also, read more tips about unlimited iPhone downloads download services.

New NES Mod For Apple iPhone - Play Nintendo Games On Your iPhone

Ever since the iPhone was officially launched and everyone discovered the amazing capabilities of the system, there has been some eager anticipation for when those wonderful third parties would start coming up with ways to play games on the iPhone. Well, today your prayers have been answered, although I must admit that it's not perfect yet by any means.

A third-party programmer has come up with an emulator for your iPhone that allows you to play a variety of games from the original Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). That's right, the system that brought you the glorious start of the Super Mario Bros.

The list of games available on this "pocket NES" is so far fairly sturdy, offering such classic titles as Super Mario Bros., the Legend of Zelda, Metroid, and Mega Man 2...and that's just the start.

Now, bear in mind that the process for getting this all set up isn't exactly easy, and even if you do manage to get it set up right, there are still some bugs. This is a brand new emulator for a brand new "console," so it's bound to be imperfect at this early stage. However, updates are happening regularly, and I've heard that the Legend of Zelda ROM is almost to the level of the original cult classic.

Also, to do all this you'll have to crack your iPhone with a program such as Jailbreak...which isn't something Apple condones or supports, and it could very well void your warranty with them. As of yet I don't think it's illegal, but it's definitely not encouraged by the company. Do it at your own risk.

But, if you're willing to take the risk, you could have Mario bouncing around those tunnels right on your iPhone. The interface is a little sluggish right now, but it's a beauty of a representation of the original. The touch screen system of the iPhone allows for a fully-functional and accurate version of the original NES controller. Once the kinks and bugs get all worked out, this could become pretty popular.

So if you think it's worth the risk to try to get this all fixed up so that you can show off to your friends that you have Link on your iPhone, you can check out http://www.everythingiphone.com/forum/iphone-software/nes-for-the-iphone-yes-a-real-3rd-party-app-8160.html They have a pretty step-by-step guide for getting it all fixed up, although it's a little chaotic, being an "impromptu walkthrough."

Who Else Wants Nintendo Games For Iphone Downloads?

IPhone games

Now I'll share with you these characteristics. First of all, the site should be safe. You are not going to get viruses, adware and spyware, aren't you? Everything that you download shouldn't include them. Otherwise, you can spoil your iPhone. So don't put it under the risk! Secondly, the site should be easy to use. If it is easy, it will help you to avoid some problems concerning misunderstanding. So you won't lose your time and money. Check the interface to be understandable! The last but no the least, you should choose websites with a large database. If it will be so, your search will be more profound. And you even can get Nintendo games for iPhone download as I did.

How to Find the Best Option For iPhone Music Downloads

If you have got yourself a new iPhone, you will want to find a good place for iPhone music downloads as soon as possible. After all, what is the point of having an iPhone if you cannot listen to all your favorite songs on it?

There are plenty of sites where you can get iPhone music downloads. Any popular search engine will show you that your options are many and varied. Some of those options will, in fact, look too good to be true. That is where you have to be careful - things that look too good to be true quite frequently are too good to be true.
