Where does one find the best iPhone sale? You can simply shop your normal brick and mortar stores and find a brand spanking new iPhone or you can go online and shop directly from the official Apple iPhone(TM) store, Walmart, Target and many other online and brick and mortar stores. But, will you get the best deal?

Let me give you a quick run down on why the iPhone is becoming the technical gadget to own.

The iPhone for one thing is a sleek and tiny hand-held computer whose screen is a beautiful touch sensitive piece of work. The high end models have any where from 4 to 8 gigs of storage and can hold about 800 to 1800 songs. Plus, it includes a cellphone, video(iPod), email terminal, web browser, camera, alarm clock, a Palm type organizer and of course, right now it is one heck of a status symbol.

The biggest draw to the iPhone is it’s software. It’s fast, beautiful, menu free and really very simple to operate. The lists scroll with a flick of a finger and is just much more fun to use, which is something that cannot be said about most cellphones.

Okay, but finding a good iPhone sale is going to be a little time consuming. You search the newspaper ads, online stores and such but can’t seem to find the right one on sale for the price that you are willing to pay. You just know that you have got to get one quickly for your nagging daughter or wife…

LOL. Or just maybe looking to get one for yourself. Plus, you keep hearing about being able to unlock the iPhone and want to find one that is for sale. But, finding an unlocked iPhone on sale can be a little complicated. Think you can find one in the stores? I seriously doubt it.

There are some places where you can find exactly what you need. All the new and used iPhones, unlocked, unlocking software, accessories and more. You just have to really look to find the right iPhone sale.

Keep digging and you can find just the right one you need at the best possible price.

Is the Apple iPad the best thing since sliced bread? Or is it just another Gee Whiz Wow gadget that’ll blast off at first then flame out just as quickly?

Given the Apple mastery of generating excitement for new products…. and their acumen in actually delivering what they promise….. IMHO I doubt the Apple iPad will be disappear into the “could have been” category. I think with iPad we’ve seen a definite shift in the realm of what is now possible.

The Apple iPad garnered a lot of attention initially in the pre-launch marketing…. and then even more after Steve Job left the stage. However, it seems a lot of tech folk are disappointed with what has been left out. Yet others are excited that the iPad is going to make technology easy for Grandma to use.

What do you think?

Will the iPad do for Apple what the iPod did….. or is it destined to be a Newton failure?

I believe the iPad will be a success….. with Apple’s having created yet another device further defining what will become a broad niche market for a special type of casual user / use. The iPad will likely find popularity in multiple rooms of a home or abroad. Most important of all they will not cannibalize sales from the iPhone. Rather iPad will compliment iPhone and help further strengthen the brand of Apple

Not to throw a downer into the mix…. but in the inital release the iPad does have a few missing items. These are Camera, USB Port, and Multitasking. The ability to store and edit documents also needs to be included. Once these are in place…. likely in a future upgrade…. the device will be very useful. One nitpick I have is that I don’t like the idea of installing applications via Itunes….. as this restricts choice. So…. yes, there’s still work to do on the iPad. But this is a 1st release….. so expect improvements over time.

Now if VOIP becomes a possibility with iPad then this is excellent news too….. and a real opportunity for the present AND future of Unified Communications.

Kepp in mind that what is left out is usually what makes Apple devices simple and elegant to use. I think it is way to early to tell for this just released version of iPad. I don’t think we will know the true impact until this time next year.

Personally I think iPad will be a hit because this type of product is ready to be exploited. The MessagePad failed because it tried to do too many things before its time…. and did not have the connectivity options that we have now. Also, other PDAs were coming out that were a fraction of the size, which was important. The pricing at the time was a bit steep for what some folks got.

Even so, from a useability point of view…. the intial release of The iPad knocks everthing else aside. Microsoft had every opportunity to develop a similar product but has struggled to deliver. Perhaps its not too late (now that they know what everyone wants).

What we need is competition, not complaints and snide comments from other manufacturers. We have a real opportunity here to really use Unified Communications. I say go for it.

On January 27, 2010, Apple Computer’s CEO Steve Jobs finally announced the release of the much rumored first tablet device called the iPad during his keynote speech. When I saw it my first impression was “It is a huge iPod Touch!”

Goodness, I was so wrong when Steve started discussing the features and its capabilities. Definitely the display area is larger in comparison to the iPhone/iPod Touch’s. It is actually more than twice, measuring 9.7 inch with 1,024 x 768 resolutions. Also it is really bright.

The iPad supports multi-touch (of course!) so if you already have an iPhone or iPod Touch, you know how to use 90% of the features! Also, it can run most of Apps that you previously purchased through the iTunes store.

iPad runs very fast because it uses the new CPU called A4. If you remember the speed difference between the iPhone 3G and the newer iPhone 3Gs, then you are going to love the iPad because it runs much faster than that upgrade.

The larger display area has the “almost” full size software keyboard feature so you can use this device like a laptop computer. Naturally, Apple is going to release their business application suites such as iWork which includes “Pages,” “Numbers,” “Keynote,” etc.

How about the prices?

As you know, Apple is famous for having expensive gadgets. But because of the recent successes with price reduction of the iPhones and iPods, it was rumored that it would be just under $1,000. Think again. It comes in lower than that. The base model starts at $499 with 32Giga bytes of storage and wifi. (Cheaper than the original iPhone!) The most expensive model priced at $829 has 64Giga bytes of storage with 3G.

Now the best news, there are several ways to get the iPad for $0.00 (yes, it’s FREE.)

How?

Currently there are several programs, contests and surveys are being offered in exchange with a free iPad. These are offered by third party sponsors and companies. You just need to follow their instructions to be eligible for a free iPad.

The release of the Apple iPhone has been met with a lot of enthusiasm, but while a lot of people have charged right in to get their iPhones, there are plenty of folks who have been holding back until they get the real story on this nifty new gadget. Well here’s what you’ve been waiting for – a list of the pros and cons of the iPhone, so that you can make up your mind on your own without paying heed to the hype out there.

So here’s a semicomprehensive list of all the things that are right about it, and the few things that could be done better. In no way do I guarantee that this is a complete list, it’s just a good selection of “goods” and “bads” that’ll give you an idea of what you’d be getting into by getting an iPhone.

The Good -

The iPhone comes in two models: a version with 6GB of storage capacity and one with 8GB. This is good or bad depending on how you look at it. 6-8GB is by no means a small amount of storage space, but I can see how users of an 80GB iPod can look down their noses at a “measly” 8GB. I’m still gonna chalk this up as a “pro.” The overall design is sleek and beautiful as it is innovative. Almost the entire unit is a large touch-screen, very complex and very sensitive. The tactile sensors across the surface of the screen respond to your touch to push buttons, move sliders, scroll through windows, and do any number of other actions. Since the entire interface is digital, new software updates could make just about anything possible for the iPhone. The camera function for the iPhone is just amazing. It shames other cameraphones, and rivals even some of the digital camera units out there. Picture quality is pristine in good lighting conditions, and doesn’t even suffer much when the light dims. Gets a little fuzzier, but it’s still remarkable. The iPhone possesses a fully-functional connection to the Internet via either the EDGE service or any WiFi connection. This isn’t a “watered-down” Web either, you can access almost anything. There are even sites being built exclusively for iPhone that you can’t view on your computer. The interface, touched on before, has been designed for utmost ease and flow…animations are smooth and interesting, and everything is easily accessible.
The Bad -

Considering how brand-new the iPhone is, there are still a lot of bugs and software errors to be worked out. There have been complaints about portions of the screen simply ceasing to function, as well as simple system crashes when running too many complex features. Probably the biggest problem is the price. The unit itself costing either $500 or $600 depending on the model, the iPhone isn’t friendly on your wallet. The phone service is done exclusively through AT&T, who isn’t exactly cheap. I haven’t used them myself, so I don’t know how reliable their service is, but it’s pretty common knowledge that leaving some money in your pocket is NOT their biggest priority. iTunes is another of the big moneydrainers…with audio downloads costing almost a dollar per song, the folks at Apple are happily rolling in your money. Aside from the above, the main limits are that you can only use the phone service in the US (so far it’s the only place the iPhone has been released), and that the battery isn’t customer-replaceable; you have to send it in to be replaced when it goes dead, and I believe it costs $80 or somewhere around there.

So there’s a basic idea of the iPhone’s pros and cons. Now you should have the basic info you need to make your choice as to whether or not you want to buy one for yourself.

If you haven’t heard it yet, AccuRadio is the internet’s leading independent radio broadcaster, the quintessential personalizable, multichannel streaming radio listening service. Enter FlyTunes, a company that has just created a mobile version of “Hurricane”, its patent-pending streaming technology, and you have a partnership that was made for iPhone.

At the April 14th RAIN (Radio and Internet Newsletter) Summit in Las Vegas, FlyTunes announced the launch of a complete mobile AccuRadio portal which combines a user-friendly interface, targeted advertising delivery, and enhanced streaming quality (QoS). Best of all, this new mobile radio service is iPhone compatible. This gives satellite radio giants Sirius and XM a run for their money, as they still scramble to get support on the various smartphone OS platforms.

Webcasting, or internet radio, currently serves over 50 million American listeners each month. And already AccuRadio – as the self-avowed “Next Generation of Radio”, and one of five nominees for the 2008 Webby Awards (“the Oscars of the Internet”) in the category of Best Radio – serves a good half-a-million of them, at least. That number is poised to swell now that smartphone users can access the service through their handheld devices – including the iPhone. Not only that, but the service is also available for users of the iPod Touch.

Whatever your musical tastes, AccuRadio has it, offering Rock, Pop, Classical, Country, Jazz, Broadway, and more: over 320 different genre-specific stations in all. Other categories to titillate mobile music fans include Oldies, Blues, Soul, Hip-Hop, Latin, Swing, Cabaret, Celtic, Reggae, Native American, and Chinese Pop. Now that’s variety! Plus, as if that wasn’t enough, AccuRadio even lets users build their own radio channels, if they like.

On the critical side, the mobile interface is still more like standard, traditional or “terrestrial” FM radio than satellite or internet radio in that it doesn’t yet display the name of the song playing, and doesn’t let users skip past songs they don’t like. Stations load up as a QuickTime movie.

If webcasting was once the new frontier, mobile webcasting has now taken its place, and rightfully so. Our culture is one that is increasingly on the go, and not everybody is crazy about the idea of listening to the same music from their iTunes library or other MP3 collection over and over again. The innovation of the FlyTunes’ AccuRadio mobile platform allows people on-the-go the same ever-changing variety of audio entertainment that commuters have had for decades through their car stereos.

The new iPad is perhaps the best electronic tablet computer on the market today. Although it is more expensive than most brands such as the HP tablet, it is probably more user friendly and allows you to browse the internet faster.

Here are five different ways you can use an iPad:

1. Use it as a word processor.

You can easily create documents on the iPad. Although there is no built in physical keyboard, you can use the touch screen keyboard instead. However, if you feel that the touch screen is not good for you, you can buy a keyboard from apple that will insert straight into the iPad.

2. Watch movies.

The iPad LCD screen is massive and the quality of the video is amazing. You can easily download videos from itunes or from your computer collection with ease. You don’t need to insert large disc that can damage easily if dropped.

3. Play videogames.

There are literally hundreds of video games to download from itunes. If you can’t afford to pay for any games, there are plenty of free versions of video games to download.

4. Use social networking software

Using facebook or twitter on the iPad is easy. You don’t need to sit down on a computer and load up your browser to check your facebook updates. With the iPad, you can connect to the internet in an instant if you have a wifi connection.

5. Read ebooks.

The iPad was specially designed to read ebooks or e-magazines. The screen is clear and big enough to read a book for hours at a time.

Would you like to get a brand new Apple iPad, but you do not want to spend the extra money? There are other options out there such as getting one for free! How, you might ask?

A lot of people would automatically suspect or think an idea like this would be some kind of scam or gimmick, but they don’t realize is that there are companies out there that want to inform and show the public about their products and give away free trial offers of their products to gain you as a customer.

By giving away free products, the company can have an opportunity to show you other products and free trial offers that you might be interested in. They also get a lot publicity every time they give away hot products as awesome as the Apple iPad away for free. You win and the company wins, too. I would say its a pretty good deal for everybody.

There are all kinds of products that companies give away for free, but because the Apple iPad is so hot now this their top giveaway. This deal will not last forever, so you better get in on the promotion as soon as possible, so you can get this hot item just for checking out other products.

There are a couple of places to find these types of promotions, just make sure you don’t fall for something that is a scam. If a company wants to charge you a service fee for a free product, then do not pay it is most likely not legit. But…

If you jump on the offer right now, you will have yourself a new Apple iPad in no time.

The iPad has been released and consumers are excited to get their hands on this new device. The iPad is a device between a cell phone and a laptop and is said to be revolutionary. Consumers reviewing this device are looking forward to replacing textbooks, newspapers, paper books, and other non digital media that they can now carry around with them on s small, convenient reading digital pad. The issue is that the iPad will be traveling with people everywhere and will be susceptible to everyday wear and tear. The key to keeping the ipad protected and looking sleek with it’s beautiful appearance is covering it with good quality screen protectors and cases.

Cases are of the utmost importance for the new iPad. Consumers are looking for sleek cases to keep the device slim and beautiful looking. Many companies are offering cases that look like laptop cases and have a bulky appearance. This contradicts the whole idea of owning an iPad vs. a Laptop. Slim is better. New Silicone (rubber) cases are being made to provide optimal protection against every day use. Why even buy an iPad if you still need to carry a large bulky case. Consumers want to be able to slide it in and out their purses,bags, or pre-existing carrying cases. Good quality silicone cases seem to be the top choices for the iPad. There is a company called Accessory Geeks that specialize in affordable silicone cases.

The silicone iPad case will protect the body, but it has also been recommended to purchase some sort of invisible screen protector. Do not buy a cheap screen protector. These screen protectors will do nothing for the consumer except make the screen look worse. I have purchased cheap screen protectors and I could not even get them on my iPods. I went to a local Best Buy and bought a good screen protector for my iPod Touch and it was easy to adhere and looks beautiful. I spent quiite a bit more on the better quality protector but it was worth it.

There are many companies offering screen protectors for the iPad but only a few companies that have good quality products with decent prices. One in particular is a company called ZAGG. They have a screen protector called the Invisible Shield and there are many tests showing the effectiveness of the high quality of their product. One of the product demonstrations shows an electric sander sanding the shield resulting in no scratches. Another demonstration showed an iPod (with the Invisible Shield) in a jar full of screws, nails, and bolts being shaken to high heaven. The iPod was taken out with no scratches (of course the iPod as also protected with a silicone casing). One final demo was a person taking a key a trying to scratch the Invisible Shield of the iPod. Of course, scratches. These demo’s were very convincing and the customer reviews also reinforce that the Zagg makes a good product and is highly recommended for your new iPad.
