Apple iPad 32GB Review

As soon as we could, we got hold of an Apple iPad to give people a review into Apple's tablet device of the future! It wasn't easy, many orders got put back due to the massive demand for them, especially in the states where orders were put back as much as a month.

Although many critics were saying there wouldn't be the demand in this country due to the hefty price tag, the public have very much proved them wrong with massive sales here in the UK.

Prices start at £429 for the Wi-Fi 16GB version and work there way up to £599 for the Wi-Fi 64GB flavour. For this review we will be looking at the 32GB Wi-Fi model, for the 3G version you will have to chuch another £100 into the equation (which we haven't done).

First question...... why is the Apple iPad such a hot topic among tech-heads? Well basically it has completely changed the publics perception of the tablet computer. No more are people looking at them as the big clumsy devices that are meant to fill a niche but do so badly. Apple has filled the gaps by providing an easy to use operating system that was designed for a mobile tablet device such as the iPad or iPhone, rather than having to use a computer operating system designed to be powered by a processor that is at least 8 time as powerful. Its easy to use on screen keyboard and fantastic spell-check software makes typing an e-mail or just entering data a breeze.

The iPad does a lot of things better than previous tablets even when you look at hardware. Its portability is a massive pro, it looks like something straight from the future and features a very powerful processor in terms of portable technology. The battery life is also a huge selling point of the Apple iPad as it just goes on for ages with quick charging times.

Although it does just seem to be a really big iPhone it isn't. It sports so much more features and performs better at pretty much everything that tablet computers did before it.

So you want to know about the spec?

Well, the screen resolution is 1024x768 on a 9.7inch screen. This is much bigger than the iPhone which is 480 pixels by 320 on a 3.5inch screen.

All storage is solid state (SSD) which makes loading times a lot faster for the operating system and the software and also helps consume less energy. The iPad comes in 3 flavours when looking at storage, it starts at 16GB, moves on to a medium sized version of 32GB and last but not least a 64GB version to serve even the mightiest of MP3 collections, although when you start talking video you could fill that in a day with today's modern broadband speeds.

Processing power is also a hot topic with the Apple iPad, it contains a 1GHz Apple A4 processor that's based on ARM technology, which has been around for donkeys years and is constantly being updated and brought into the future. It can handle all the audio, 3D processing and other tasks the user throws at it.

When it comes to power and battery life the Apple iPad is a cut above the rest. Everything is all working to the same tune and all controlled via the processor to ensure that it is running at its optimal speed while balancing power usage. The battery, although not accessible and changable by the user is a cutting edge Lithium-Polymer which can outperform many of the traditional tablet computers while the operating system takes advantage of what power it has available and uses it efficiently. For a Wi-Fi iPad you can expect to get 10 hours of use time when you are surfing the web, playing videos or listening to music for example, but expect to get a lot less when your trying to max out the CPU as obviously the device will be less efficient. Compare this to the Apple Macbook and you see that you certainly get a lot more usage per charge if you are only doing less CPU intensive tasks, but worse on more demanding jobs.

So how much does it weigh? Weighing in at a meagre 680g you will barely notice that this device is in a pocket or in a bag. A lot less heavier than laptops but obviously more noticeable than a PDA or large mobile phone. You couldn't slip it into a pocket, you could try but I wouldn't advise it.

A massive shame is that it doesnt come with a built in camera, I'm sure it must have been thought of during design but obviously voted against. This would have really added a lot more functionality to the iPad, even a basic iPhone camera which is good for quick snap would have been suffice. This would have led to Skype video calls and other video programs being more useful and possibly incited software developers to move in other directions. The sound that comes from this device is pretty good even though the speaker seems to be the same as the iPhones, but it seems that Apple have made the best from it with software.

This is my basic review of the Apple iPad, I'm pretty happy with what it does and even though I didn't think I would find much use for it, I HAVE!

Apple iPad Wi-Fi Review

There's something that captures your imagination when you open an Apple box and first see your new gadget. That is certainly the case with the Apple iPad. The first thing you see is the device itself with its large screen. Also included in the box is a cable, power adapter and the famous apple stickers. But was the box worth opening in the first place? Is the iPad really worth getting?

The first thing you need to know is what the iPad is for. After all you can't review a product without knowing what it's for, right? Well Steve Jobs from Apple said that the iPad sits in-between the iPhone and the Macbook. It isn't the best communications device and it isn't for serious work. The iPad is the perfect device for consuming media. Watch movies, show photos, surf the internet, answer e-mails and read books. That's what the iPad is for. It's a device for around the house. I've put that statement to the test.

Design

But before I get into the media stuff let's look at the design first. It's great. The back is all aluminum which makes it feel really classy and decent against scratching. The apple logo sits in the middle.

The front is the same as the iPhone. It's glass from edge to edge with the only buttons being the home button, volume, sleep and screen orientation key. The edges of the screen are now wider which is useful because it enables you to hold the device with one hand without touching the screen. The black and gray contrast between the buttons and the body looks great. The device is very thin and the aluminum border (metal one is gone) makes it one of the best looking gadgets ever made.

The internet & Keyboard

Internet is really important in a tablet, laptop, smartphone well actually in pretty much everything. Luckily Apple knew this and they've worked hard on getting safari just right on the iPad, and they have. The iPad is simply the best internet surfing experience. It's great to see a whole webpage in front of you that you can manipulate without using a mouse or other pointing device. In fact the only downside is the chunkiness in using tabs. It's not fast and it requires you to first press a button and then the page of your choice. I wish it was more like the PC/Mac way with all of your tabs just a single click away.

How does the iPad type? A lot of people asked this question prior to the launch and I can say that I've no problem typing. Portrait mode types fine but can get awkward when you're both holding the device and typing at the same time. But in landscape mode with the iPad on your lap things really come alive. It types just like a normal notebook. And if you mistype, the iPad quickly corrects you and predicts the word you wanted to spell. It works just like the iPhone which was a fine system. You might have to get used to the lack of feedback though. Your only guide is the screen and for some people it may take some time getting used to.

media

Now let's talk media. First of all watching movies is great and a way better experience than a laptop or smartphone can offer. The laptop is simply too heavy for the job and the iPhone's screen is just too small.

Apple included the video app to further enhance the video watching experience and it works great. The app nicely shows a cover art of the movie and it's very easy to go to a curtain chapter or read a description of the movie. I think a lot of people will really fall in love with this feature.

Another big selling point is the ability to show photo's to friends and family. The device can function as a digital photo stand during parties, or you can use the built in app for a great photo viewing experience. The device will tell you where the photos were taken (if geo-tagged) and it will tell faces. Zooming in and out on photos or sweeping across your collection feel great. It's much better than on the iPhone because the larger screen really lends itself for smoother gestures and the great IPS screen shows every detail.

Books are hot again. Apple made an app specifically for reading and buying, it's called iBooks. The app will display all your books on a bookshelf. Tab the library button and the bookshelf will flip to reveal a store. But it's not all great because the store lacks proper navigation. For example you can't navigate by category or publication date. It really doesn't make sense that it lacks this feature, so the store is actually only useful if you already know what you want. But the reading itself is great. It even works in the dark! Take that physical books.

The iPod app is also present. It looks a lot like you're used to in itunes. You can display your music in lists or album covers and see what's playing. Cover flow is mysteriously missing though, but probably won't be missed.

Tab a song and it will display the album cover. Tab again and you get access to the music playing keys. The app is really great to use because the 9.7" display allows you to see all of your songs.

Other provided apps are: calendar, contacts, notes, app store, iTunes, maps, and YouTube. They all work great as expected from Apple. calendar does exactly what you expect it to do. You can watch a whole month without scrolling or tapping, which makes it particularly useful.

Contacts divides the screen in two, one side it shows all the details and on the other the names of your contacts.

Maps is greatly improved on the iPad. Apple did it by only adding one new feature: streetview. And it works easy. Just drop a pin somewhere and press the street button. In fact the streetview works way more intuitive on the iPad than it does on the actual Google site.

Last but not least is YouTube. It's really nice that you can see both the comments and the videos on one screen in portrait. Because let's face it, we all read the comments. In landscape the video fills the whole screen, which makes it a pleasure to watch.

Apps

The app store allows you to download any iPhone app on your iPad. But you can also download apps made specifically for the device.

iPhone apps look awful on the iPad. The screen in 1:1 mode is too small to use and looks silly with all that unused space around it. Displaying the app in 2x modes isn't recommended either because it just looks plain ugly. I can see every pixel in this mode.

iPad apps are great though. The larger screen allows for some exciting stuff. Zombies vs Aliens for example is simply amazing to play. It looks very crisp and the controls are as intuitive as can be.

The iWork package from Apple is another example of screen space used well. Making documents and presentations is easy. In pages I was surprised to see the task bar disappear in landscape mode though.

The future will tell if the bigger screen will allow for some great new apps. I'm a little worried though because of the speed of the device.

Problems

So media is great on the iPad but unfortunately not everything is. Communicating for example isn't really possible because the iPad doesn't have a front facing camera. So grandma won't be able to video chat with her grandchildren in the garden. And the iPad isn't fast. It feels zippy but the apps aren't what they could be and at times the device slowed down a bit. Another problem is the build quality. I could slightly wiggle the volume button and sleep button by holding my fingers on it. On the iPhone for example the buttons are way more stiff. Another thing about the build quality is the vibration that you get when the speakers are playing. It's probably the fair amount of bass that the device can produce but it makes the device feel more fragile in a way.

conclusion

The iPad is amazing in its own little way. It's not going to replace the phone. It's not going to replace the notebook. No, it can't do any of those things. Instead it becomes the best way to interact with your media. Movies, music, books, photos and the internet. And sure you can work on it via the iWork packages from apple. it works fine but not good enough to produce 10.000+ word documents.

The iPad is an amazing tablet and I hope Apple fixes the shortcomings in the next version.

Review: OtterBox Defender Series Case for iPhone 4/4S

Both offerings have a similar multi-layer construction: a polycarbonate shell with built in passthrough screen protector and a thick silicone skin that fits over it, with a removable belt clip for each. The first layer is rather similar on both, with a two piece snap-shut design. On the inside of each back piece is a thin padding to cushion the iPhone 4, and each has extruded portions which serve to hold the silicone layer in place. Between the two, the biggest difference is that OtterBox’s case has a circular opening around the Apple logo, covered by a clear plastic window. We are not big fans of this design decision from an aesthetic stand, although it does not considerably lessen the protectiveness of this case. 

Where the two cases differ most is the outer silicone shell. Of the two, Survivor feels more substantial and more rugged. It covers every bit of the phone; all of the switches, openings, and even the camera are protected but can be accessed by flipping out the portion of silicone over them, and the volume, Sleep/Wake, and Home Buttons are covered but remain fully usable. For the most part, this is a thoughtful design as there is practically no way any harmful elements could reach the iPhone. In practice, however, it does make using certain features of the device more difficult. For example the extra step of exposing the camera is added to the photo taking process, which is something that could result in lost shots. The noise canceling mic on the top of the phone is also covered during normal use which could certainly lead to degraded call quality. In addition, docking is not possible due to the overall size of the case.

Defender, on the other hand, seems a little bit less protective. The silicone is thinner at points, although it still feels strong. While most of the iPhone 4 is covered, there are significant exceptions. On the bottom, both the speaker and the mic are fully exposed, as is the mic on the top. Even though they are recessed rather deeply, the camera and flash are also open. Similar to the Survivor, the headphone port, silent switch, and Dock Connector are accessible by flipping out the portion of rubber covering them.

Included with both cases is a belt clip. With Survivor, it is situated on a long piece of plastic that fits into the shape of the silicone body, attaching at the top and bottom. It can be rotated in 90 degrees in either direction. On Defender, the clip is on a much larger attachment; it is a a little bit wider than the unit itself, almost serving as a case for the case. The clip itself is much wider than Griffin’s, and can rotate all the way around. On either model, attaching the clip to a belt or bag is probably going to be the easiest way to carry the device, as the cases are quite thick and don’t slide in and out of a pocket too easily.

We did find that using the touchscreen on both models required just a little bit of pressure as the screen protector did not lay perfectly flat, resulting in occasional missed letters and other unrecognized input. It was also somewhat more difficult to type on the Griffin model because the hard plastic base sits right at the edge of the screen, making it harder to access the letters along the outer edge of the keyboard. On Defender this is not an issue as the opening goes a bit wider than the screen.

OtterBox and Griffin have both put forth incredibly protective cases, quite similar in most regards. The biggest distinguishing factors are not really that big at all, but it is certainly a benefit to have the extra coverage around the ports and openings that Survivor provides. By the same token, the lack of quick access to the camera and cramped space around the screen do make it a bit more difficult to use. While we would ultimately recommend Survivor over Defender in direct competition, both are very good options in their category. For this reason, both are deserving of a B+ rating, with their biggest downfalls being lack of universal necessity and unfortunate but necessary bulkiness.

Updated November 2, 2011: OtterBox has released an updated version of Defender for the iPhone 4S. Still retailing at $50, this newer version has two main differences from the original: one large opening for the proximity sensor, front camera, and earpiece as opposed to three separate ones, and a larger integrated hole for the rear camera and flash. Otherwise, Defender looks the same and ships with the same pieces.

A Note From the Editors of iLounge: Though all products and services reviewed by iLounge are "final," many companies now make changes to their offerings after publication of our reviews, which may or may not be reflected above.

iPad 2 - New and Updated Review

iPad 2 review

The iPad2-release date in the US was March 11th. Review of Apple's iPad 2 is not a simple one way task. The new iPad 2 compared to last year's extremely popular version, the iPad 2 is almost equivalent with regards to software, nevertheless more improved and also similar in terms of the hardware side at the same time.

The new iPad 2 has a 9.7-inch, 1024 x 768 display and although inside there is a new dual core A5 CPU, more memory and a couple of new cameras, the majority of the iPad 2′s changes are merely decorative.

The iPad 2 will probably still stand above its competitors. This means the new iPad 2, a slimmer, even faster version of the original is probably not changing many of its new surfaces however it's already at the forefront of the herd.

The questions are is the iPad 2 worth an upgrade for people who own the first version? Moreover, does the new version have the required capabilities to get new customers to the brand? Those inquirers and more will be answered in this review, so.just read on.

The iPad 2 release date in the US was March 11th. From a manufacturing style and design viewpoint, the new iPad 2 significantly increased the criteria with a beautiful appealing computer appliance. For anyone who is the owner of the first device, you already know there were no short cuts taken in the design aspect, nevertheless its latest version takes it to a whole other level. The very first thing you will likely notice with regard to the iPad 2 is that it's amazingly thin. In the widest peak of it, the tablet is only 0.35-inches as opposed to the original iPad being one half inch of width. The device is marginally shorter compared to the prior model but additionally somewhat less wider, only 7.3-inches opposed to the iPad's 7.47-inches. The iPad 2 really seems incredibly slender whenever one will hold it.

Steve Jobs stated at the unveiling event, the unit is thinner compared to the amazingly thin iPhone 4 which is an impressive accomplishment taking into consideration what's stored within the iPad 2. The most dramatic change is the weight. At 680 grams, the iPad 2 is 80g lighter compared first iPad.

Much like the first version, the iPad version 2 frontages of the unit is entirely comprised of the screen, the home button is located in the bottom of the panel. The iPad 2 does include a camera opposite from that button towards the top of the unit, however the small camera is hardly detectable. Around back there's the known, sleek lightweight aluminum from the prior version. It does feel marginally smoother here, a modest spotted speaker grid about the downwards left, a camera about the top left, and based upon which model you will get, the 3G iPad version 2 antenna across the top back. The volume controls and mute button sit on the rear left side of the device; while on the right you can find the Micro SIM slot (on 3G iPad 2 versions). The top reveals a power up / sleep button about the higher right side. Most of the features are well known for an iPad, but all well and neatly assembled on this tiny body figure.

In all, the iPad 2 has an extremely tidy attractive and sexy kit.

Images and Snap shots, don't fairly represent the true experience of the iPad 2 and its look and feel. The iPad 2 feels extremely astonishing in your hands.

Putting aside the smart development it provides with a feeling of a real pleasure. Apple is recognized for its professional unique design and the new iPad 2 is brilliantly and carefully assembled.

iPad 2 Features

A lot has been talked about in terms of what is new on the interface of the iPad 2.

To begin with, the iPad 2 is 'twice as fast' as the original iPad, running the brand-new dual core A5 CPU built by ARM.

Actually the difference between the speed of the performance of the first iPad and the iPad version 2 is not that noticeable.

Several apps, such as the Safari browser and the iPad 2 media app, start up as quickly as the first iPad. However you will find that apps such as iMovie and GarageBand do run considerably faster.

There's now 512MB of RAM in the iPad 2, bringing it up to iPhone 4 specifications, which actually already seems low to us. A device of the iPad 2nd generation in this particular category should likely end up having 1GB, though there are no memory concerns. Strangely is that the size and the resolution of the new iPad 2 screens is identical to the screen size and resolution of the original iPad with just 1024 x 768 pixels. The screen is similar to the first model, a 1024 x 768, 9.7 inch display. Although the display looks good we would love it if there would be a uplift and update in the iPad 2nd generation resolution.

The vast majority of the update power on the new iPad 2 arises from the A5 processor and our initial tests reveal that this dual-core chip can give some noticable quality speed, particularly in apps like iMovie.

We also made a small test by turning on the iPad 2nd generation media player on both the iPad and the iPad 2 with the exact same music and movie files and noticed some speed variations - the iPad 2 finished loading just a couple of seconds sooner than the first iPad.

A few other features are also new or increased their performance:

Both of the two iPad 2 cameras, one being for photos and the other for video chats, have a faster visuals engines which will make games more accessible.

Despite having the faster processor and improved graphics engine, the battery of the iPad 2 still persists about ten hours.

On the speaker front, Apple has transferred the iPad's single speaker towards the back of the device. The sound seems crisper and relatively quieter compared to the previous iPad version and that we can't say is a significant advancement in terms of the location in the new iPad.

iPad 2 Internet and Browsing Features

Apple has applied the Safari browser on iPad 2 and its upgraded engine, saying performance is double the speed faster. Within our findings that statement is a bit of exaggeration.

Regarding sites that use HTML5, we saw a really good performance from the iPad 2nd generation. The sites loaded up quickly and formatted images properly.

Sites that make major use of Adobe Flash failed to load because of the iPad 2 is short of Flash support.

Flash video websites only loaded in bits and failed to play videos. There is still loads of data we couldn't view because Apple won't provide Flash support on its device.

To conclude, internet browsing is not a really good incentive to upgrade to the iPad 2 - it runs with comparable speed as the original iPad.

iPad 2 Media Features

Apple wins hands-down for media availability when compared to other tablets.

One of the iPad 2 specs is that you can rent or buy almost any TV show or movie, find albums from virtually any indie performer in the world and have the iPad 2 automatically download audio and video media without any hassle. This is one of the main achievements and one of the main iPad specs in which the iPad 2 have a strong dominate over other tablets is the easy and accessible feature to content, because they have licensing arrangements for enormous quantity of content.

Yet, the iPad 2 does not really improve on media viewing itself.

In HD movies that we played on the new iPad 2, the stream was smooth yet the iPad 2 still leaves room for improvement, as it could offer a display with a more colorful and sharper look.

For anyone who wish to get video over to your TV, you might want to grab Apple's new HDMI dongle anther one of the iPad 2 specs, that enables you to connect straight into your HDTV. The adapter worked perfectly and once an HD video was running within the iPad 2, it sent that content to the TV without any difficulty or problems in any aspect.

Home Sharing is among the latest features of the iPad 2nd generation.

Basically, it suggests that you are able to stream music, movies, and TV shows from your computer over Wi-Fi, you of course still have to get the content. You simply cannot watch media straight from the web without bringing into play the third-party application such as Netflix.

Within our tests, several episodes of 30 rock streamed easily and properly coming from a MacBook Pro.

With Video formats there were excellent results with platforms such as H.264 MPEG-4 and we discovered that, as expected, formats like Windows Media did not work. Moreover the widely used open-source HD format MKV file failed to work in the new iPad. For now, you might need a VLC application in order to use those files.

iPad 2, iMovie and GarageBand apps

The known iMovie application provides plenty of accessible features for video editing, plus it manages to do it inexpensively, at merely $4.99. iMovie app now enables you to edit both videos you've shot within unit and imported files in a user friendly platform that's actually more user friendly than its desktop space.

You'll be able to instantly upload your material to a selection of sources, including YouTube, Vimeo, CNN's iReport, and Facebook and yes it can be done in HD. From our experience, the process worked flawlessly.

Another great app is the GarageBand app, that one is truly a wonder app. The app includes numerous pianos, guitars and drums, along with other musical instruments. Above all, these instruments, especially the piano and drums, reply to soft touches and stiff finger presses perfectly.

iPad 2 Smart Cover

The iPad 2 Apple's Smart Covers nifty modest cover case are mainly touch screen protectors using a number of sharp magnets across the side area as opposed to having to wrap around your new iPad or holding the device with straps.

The cover attaches with effectively fitted magnets and protecting and covering your new iPad and results in a very impressive effect..

Furthermore the covers put your device to sleep and wake it as you close or open the flaps.The covers also have a microfiber inside layer, which would seem to help keep your screen clean.

We were very impressed with the benefit of the Smart Cover and their overall appearance.

iPad 2 Camera and Multimedia

As the well known addition for the iPad 2nd generation, the front iPad 2 camera and the back camera, are certainly a welcome addition, yet it is not ideal for any professional photography or for high-def video chats. The iPad 2 is not a flawless device, in fact in our findings the iPad2 cameras are really less than ideal.

It's annoying due to the fact that if the standard resulted in being higher, the iPad 2 camera might have become a great chat tool.

First, for photography, the rear-facing iPad 2 camera records video at 960×720. However in our tests, the recorded video looked rather poorly and simply not good enough. Worse was the 0.7-megapixel new iPad 2 camera is below average.

Most test images looked slightly blurry.

The front VGA-resolution iPad 2 cameras aren't a great deal better. You can capture 0.3-megapixel still images, yet its almost impossible to utilize it for anything aside from plain dull portraits.

In a FaceTime video iPad 2 specs, the video quality looked incredibly the same as the plain basic iPhone 4 cameras.

Conclusion

For now we quite simply think that the new iPad 2 is the best tablet available on the market. For those who own the first iPad, unfortunately we cannot suggest that an iPad upgrade is a must. If you don't necessarily need cameras on your tablet, you've still got a worthy device that still holds a lot of the assets of the latest OS and applications. However we can understand an iPad upgrade based upon the fact that the new design and style speaks for itself in encouraging anyone wishing to upgrade his or her iPad. It's simply stunning, and maintains the solid, premium feel as the initial iPad.

For those of you who haven't yet gotten the iPad's product we can highly recommend that you try the iPad2 as it's certainly a high-quality piece of device.

Review: Western Digital My Book Live Home Network Drive

On paper, Western Digital’s new My Book Live (1TB/$150, 2TB/$200, 3TB/$250) comes closer than Time Capsule to our vision of the ideal network storage device. To start with the positives, even the lowest-capacity version has enough room to store plenty of music, video, and photos for access from multiple devices, and Western Digital advertises two ways to stream files from the drive: first, iOS devices can access its music, photo, and video contents with a free WD 2go application, and second, WD claims that iTunes can automatically see My Book Live as a shared volume for music and videos. Note that neither of these features is supported by Apple’s Time Capsule. Additionally, My Book Live can serve as a backup drive for Mac OS X’s Time Machine and Windows equivalents, which in theory would make it seem decidedly superior to a Time Capsule—you get all of the backup functionality, plus media serving functionality, at much lower prices than Apple’s.

Perhaps not surprisingly, there are some hitches. Unlike Time Capsule and many other networked storage units, My Book Live does not actually have Wi-Fi hardware built in. Instead, you need to connect it to your existing router via an included Ethernet cable and the drive’s rear Gigabit Ethernet port. Thankfully, this wasn’t a serious issue during our testing, and probably won’t be a problem for most users, either; because of the high-speed wired connection and 100MB/second read speeds, it can simultaneously stream videos or other content to multiple devices without a problem, and Ethernet is a fast way to make your initial deposit of media content onto the drive. Another small hitch is My Book Live’s dependence upon a computer with an optical drive for initial setup—if you’re planning on using it solely with a MacBook Air, a recent model Mac mini, or iOS devices without having first set it up on your network using the included CD-ROM, you may find the process somewhat challenging. Our gut feeling is that most users still have optical drives in their machines and won’t be troubled by this, but a solution without dependence on a separate disc for setup would be even better.

When My Book Live is connected to iOS devices, the overall user experience is pretty solid. Load up the free WD 2go application for the first time and setup is relatively painless, with each device requiring one-time registration with the drive so that unauthorized users can’t access your shared media. Once that’s done, you’re quickly given a list of folders stored on the drive, including separate Shared Music, Pictures, and Videos folders that very quickly start to perform whatever you want to play through your iOS device, albeit without support for background music playback, album art, or related frills. The beige interface is nice enough, with separate iPad and iPhone/iPod touch interfaces, and fades away as desired when you want to bring a video into full-screen mode. Though you’ll have to do streaming on a per-item basis, selecting one video, song, or picture before manually selecting the next—a solution that’s more practical for videos than music—it does work. Apple’s Home Sharing feature in iTunes is nicer, but then, it requires a computer to be turned on, and My Book Live does not.

iOS users will only be modestly annoyed to discover that Western Digital tries to sell a “WD 2go Pro” application for $3, so that it has an opportunity to make a few extra bucks off of “pro” features such as e-mailing files, sharing files as links, and automatic syncing of files and folders from the drive to your iOS device. While most of these features are in fact unnecessary for mainstream use of a network storage device, there really isn’t any great reason to put them in a separate application; once you’ve paid $150-$250 for the drive, the experience of getting nickel and dimed for an extra $3 feels unseemly.

Unfortunately, the iTunes side of the equation is currently more problematic. When we first began to test My Book Live on our wireless network, we were pleased—iTunes instantly recognized My Book Live, and displayed it as a Shared volume right below our list of Devices, offering access to music we’d placed on it. But after the iTunes 10.5 update, the software displayed a constantly spinning gear when attempting to load MyBookLive—a problem that didn’t exist until then. Western Digital’s Knowledge Base now explains that iTunes was able to stream videos up until version 10.3, and music up until 10.5, but is now not able to stream either because of Apple changes to iTunes. Worse yet, “there is currently no solution available,” and when we followed user guides that were online before iTunes 10.5 came out, we opened up a Pandora’s Box of other issues with the drive. While users can still access the drive’s contents with just a couple of clicks through Mac OS X or Windows, but media won’t play through iTunes; videos loaded instead through QuickTime. It’s seriously unfortunate that something that seemed to work easily is so broken right now.

It’s worth noting that My Book Live does not have Apple TV video support at the moment, either. Techies who might have seen the iOS application as a potential workaround for this limitation will be disappointed to note that while AirPlay is indeed supported for streaming My Book Live’s audio from an iOS device to AirPlay speakers or an Apple TV, it does not work to relay streamed video from the iOS device to Apple TVs. This isn’t a huge surprise, and may change in future WD 2go software releases, but for the time being, it’s a limitation.

Overall, My Book Live is a good piece of hardware that’s let down somewhat by recent developments in Apple’s iTunes software. The drive sells at a roughly $35 (street) to $50 (MSRP) premium relative to a standard USB My Book, and putting aside the issues it currently has with iTunes, performs well enough as a wireless server for iOS devices to merit our general recommendation. Users with large video libraries will find it to be a good way to store plenty of content for immediate iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch streaming throughout a house via the free WD 2go application. That said, it would be a far more viable accessory if it was capable of serving videos and music directly to iTunes and Apple TVs, features that we hope Apple will enable developers to use easily in the near future.

Apple iPad 2 Review Part 3 - Software Improvements

The second generation Apple iPad was released across Canada and Australia towards the end of March 2011. Despite the hype and initial heavy demand, supplies seem to have caught up, with free stock of the iPad 2 available from all of the major retailers.

In our earlier reviews, we looked at the new design language and the technical innovations that debut in the revised tablet. Here we look at the new software.

Face Time

One of the great revolutions of recent years is FaceTime. First seen on the iPhone 4 and closely followed by the fourth generation iPod touch, FaceTime is a way of making video phone calls using the devices' integrated Wi-Fi connections and the internet. This process avoids cell networks and thus potentially high call charges, especially if the callers are in different countries. As a result, it is often touted as Apple's competitor to Skype. As expected from Apple software, it is very easy to use and a fun way to catch up with friends whether across the street or half-way around the globe.

Improved software

Apps are one of the biggest reasons to purchase an Apple mobile device. With their tight controls of App approvals, the end user is assured an enjoyable and fuss free iPad 2 experience, and with Apps specifically for Canada, Australia and the UK, owners not just within the confines of the United States can benefit from the huge selection of software on offer. With already over 70,000 Apps available on the Apple store (many of which are free), the iPad really has a march over its competitors. There is no doubt that the Android market is expending rapidly, but with the cameras and a new gyroscope, there are now more tools for the software developers to incorporate into the inevitably fun and innovative future releases.

As with the original iPhone models, the original iPad was criticised for its lack of multitasking support. Such an oversight was no good for a tablet device, with Apple promptly making amends in an update to iOS. Thanks to the increased RAM and processing speed, multitasking takes a step forward, with the improved hardware able to cope with more applications running at once.

Reading books on the iPad 2

If you're an avid reader, then the ability to read books is much enhanced. With access to Google Books, Nook (from Barnes and Noble) and Kindle as well as iBooks you have a huge choice as well as the ability to compare prices between vendors. Whilst not quite up to a dedicated ebook reader due to the lack of e-ink, the iPad 2 does a great job, although too much brightness from the backlight coupled with screen reflections are generally the major problems. I would say that hardcore readers might be better off with one of the dedicated machines.

Many of these software improvements are also available as a free iPhone 4 and iPod Touch (fourth generation only) update direct from Apple.

Thanks for reading part three of my iPad 2 review. In the next instalment we take a look at the new Smart Covers and deal with any problems I have encountered whilst using the iPad 2.

Get the latest generation tablet computer for nothing, get a free iPad 2 Canada. Just a few minutes of your time is all that is required. If you're not from Canada, then Australian residents can get a free iPad 2 Australia. Apple's new tablet is available in either black or white versions in either 16GB or 32GB capacities. Each combination can be had with just Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity.

If you need something more compact, get a free iPhone instead.

Review: Gameloft modern 3 to combat: fallen nation

While the obviously inspired high-grit-modern warfare series, modern combat 3: nation has fallen, such as modern combat 2, closer to Nintendo and rare of classic shooter GoldenEye 007 in design: the game is only rarely of present with full well armed, but apparently not well-shielded enemies shooting differ, and even then the slopes tend to light on strategy, and heavy on action - various shots rather than anything, what do think the depth. Before the game moves way of his first United States locales, you can enjoy a modern warfare-style night vision distance shooting Mission in an airplane and a high-speed-ATV/helicopter shoot mission from the back of a truck in Alaska forest, as well as several on foot. Most of these segments relate, move to the left of the screen, swiping the centered or right, make your head position to change, and use the buttons near the middle and at the bottom of the screen to duck to shoot, zoom in with your weapon sight or range, or swiping throw grenades.

In single player mode, which most modern combat 3 requires going a lot coverage squat and popping out to shoot machine guns - you shoot at the most which is at least somewhat far away. In contrast to the previous modern combat use title, gun and hand-to-hand combat fight to feel quickly trivialized in favour of the assault weapons and the occasional a scope for sniper-like recording, while shotguns Ernst given short trial here during the first half of the game. On the rare days you get to draw your knife on an enemy up close - sometimes with a button, sometimes in a slow motion sequence with swipe gestures – you are splashes of blood, only part of a series of "not for children" items in the game. Generally well written and well acted voice with only small exceptions, the dialogue is peppered with profanity, makes, to a more realistic episode of G.I. Joe a little more adult feel like what feels otherwise. A multiplayer mode has six cards and seven different modes, the bomb proliferation challenges, both online as local Wi-Fi of match to support.

Combat 3 is his works of art, which occasionally so impressive, modern single greatest resource that you are not able to believe that you see it on the iOS device. The graphics engine looks at the iPad 2 particularly console-caliber, with representations of the cities, forests, soldiers and numerous vehicles, which are closer than ever to search for "real". Reasonable uses special effects you can enjoy numerous smoke trails, compressing balls, and even of floating objects such as such as bits of dust and butterflies, the air around you around as seemed to keep completely empty space.

More so than in the previous modern combat titles that early "American invasion" missions in suburban Los Angeles battlefields are set almost cool, representation, residential areas and even in decorated apartment, show beautiful one a flak close to a swimming pool and tennis courts to destroy. By the time you from a boat in the Arctic are scoping, complete with credible drifting ice outside and dark, tunnel-like corridors inside, you will be invested completely in the atmosphere and looking forward to see what comes next. Character artwork is also very detailed, with enough polygons and texture detail to your allies and enemies well even close look.

Modern combat 3, she depart from shooting action pure in his semi-interactive break sequences that are visually often incredibly impressive; They are given rare freedom, make your head to la modern warfare breaks, but what right before your eyes is generally worth seeing - helicopter and aircraft drops giving you the chance, you will experience the world around the military transports in fly. Other sequences offer no shortage of possibilities, your character of explosions, scaling fences, or also the use of a parachute in the middle of an air drops, sometimes with the possibility to move the action swipe to see unconscious in different directions.

When modern combat 3 has obviously failed all, it is that these sequences and the rest of the game have so simplified and nuance that need the capabilities of single 13 mission that you are same which came with robs you halfway through the game. A Super Mario style skill learning curve would help to add some depth, what is otherwise a very nice shooter.

But as Gameloft almost always is the case title, it's hard to complain too much about what is here for the retail price of $7. Ego-shooter fans should single-player action expect at least seven hours - if they die much, or select a higher difficulty level - plus plenty of opportunity, ask friends in multiplayer mode. Fighting with modern 3: fallen nation, Gameloft iOS devices brought another step closer to true console games, this time with the universal roller support, we have been waiting for so long. We recommend this title, and continue to anxiously expect more publications in the franchise, as it was consistently one of Gameloft on running the best and most exciting.

Review: Mipow power tube 3000 + 4000

Saw so tube makes nice 2200, 3000 and 4000 are even more beautiful. As a cylinder, both end pipes are extruded rounded rectangles, expand the name of "Tube" to something. You have the same footprint, although 4000 more than one half inch approximately 3.75 "-3000, differences in the sizes of batteries in."

Devices equipped as separate cables for the collection of dock connector power tube has a pretty awesome Cap mechanism. On the outside is a USB port for a cable connect and charge, to any kind of device; both contained a micro-USB cable and a USB Extender. The entire top surface is a combination makes/battery-indicator button, with embedded LEDs show the remaining capacity. Pop the cap off - it is connected via a nylon thread handles cable - shows two connectors: a USB, the dock connector. The USB port is for the charging of the battery within the power tube, while the dock connector on each supported iPhone, iPod, or IOS can be connected. This battery only at 1 A or half-speed for the Tablet is for users of Apple tablets. This is good for full-speed-iPhone and iPod to charge.

A major disappointment as the speed is the actual upload. On paper 3000mAh and 4000mh are pretty batteries violent, so we expected good results. One of the best battery cases we've tested in recent months, Ibattz ' Mojo removable battery case packs one 1500mAh battery, the impressive 85% charge, delivered, supplied during the very popular Mophie juice Pack air with the same size battery 70%. Also extrapolating from the lower-performance model, we expected to be somewhere in the 130-150% between 3000 and 180-200% from the larger model to get. Mipow claimed specifically 1.5 x and 2 X the performance of batteries. Our audit suggested that this was somewhat optimistic.

We tested an iPhone-4S and an iPhone 4, any audio playing, both turned on, off with their screens, and also 3 g was connected with Wi-Fi - the 4S. Performance of tube-3000 while came a fee of 115%, 4000 to a slightly higher 139%. Both of these figures, what we expected, and the larger battery was especially disappointing.

We like the industrial design of both versions of this generation of power-tube. The fully integrated, clean-looking solution is this time clearly well conceived and praiseworthy. Our problem is only with the performance of the battery. While both models offer more than a full charge, they are claims of the company, and which competitors would be options. This having been said, both versions are general recommendations based on their beautiful designs and the ability more than fully charge an iPhone - the 3000 should it do for most users, but if you can find the 4000 on discount, is the modest fee offers a consideration.

Apple iPad 2 Review

With the iPad 2 still new to the market and the original iPad being freely discounted at many retailers, it can be a tough decision which one to choose. In this first part of a three part review we look at the second generation machine.

The iPad 2 was set free to the public in Canada, Australia, the UK and the United States on 25 March 2011. This was around one year after the launch of the original.

Improved looks and less weight

The first thing that strikes those familiar with the first generation tablet is that the new model is noticeably thinner. There is evidently less bulk when held in the hand, which can only be a good thing considering the likely uses for such a mobile device. The casing is now constructed from metal rather than plastic so it is much nicer to the touch, better looking and much more durable in terms of knocks, bangs and resistance to scratches. Also, it now sports a tapered edge that feels more natural when handling the device as opposed to the slightly square of the original. As a result, the new model is much more comfortable to handle for longer periods of time.

Whilst the thinner metal casing is the most welcoming aspect of the redesign, Apple has also managed to reduce the overall weight of the iPad 2 by 80g. Although this doesn't sound a lot, it is the weight of a small cell phone and can really make a difference when you have to hold the tablet for extended periods of time. The height and width of the iPad 2 have also been trimmed by a few millimetres as well, although considering the touch screen is basically the same 9.7" unit as its predecessor you couldn't really expect a huge reduction in these dimensions. The only improvements made to the screen were to improve efficiency and reduce weight by using slightly thinner glass.

iPad colors

White joins the traditional black as the two available colors. It is interesting to note that the Apple's tablet has beaten the long-awaited white iPhone to the market. The manufacturing process was obviously free of the issues that plagued procurement of the iPhone 4.

iPad 2 technical improvements

Significant technical changes have taken place, notably surrounding a new processor, more memory and the introduction of cameras. We a take a more in-depth look at these improvement in the second article in this series.

Thanks for taking a look at the first part of our Apple iPad 2 review which is now freely available across the US, Canada, Australia and the UK.

Tablet computers are now being released from all of the big technology companies such as Dell, Motorola and Samsung. Get a free iPad 2 Canada or a free iPad 2 Australia (depending on your location), all you need to do is provide a few minutes of your time. It really is that easy. If you want something smaller, get a free white iPhone instead.

More Review About iPad Tablet 64GB Wifi

The display is just gorgeous, with astonishingly great viewing angles. It's bright sufficient to read outside (besides in immediate sunlight), along with the colours are crisp and vibrant. The display screen is glossy, which sadly displays mild as well very easily (substantial glare). The glass floor is allegedly oleophobic (i.e. it supposedly is 'fingerprint-resistant'), but as you may anticipate it does choose up fingerprints quickly. They do wipe off very easily, although. The 4:3 element ratio is tremendous for displaying off photos and presentations, but HD videos will display with black bars.

The iPad Tablet 64GB comes having a built-in speaker wich may perhaps even be stereo. It seems mono, tinny, and weak, but is noticeably louder than the puny small thing built in to the iPod Contact. It may be loud enough to observe video clip on the aircraft, but surely is sufficient to observe one on the train and automobile experience.

The Apple iPad 64GB includes WiFi 802.11n - that is fast. Reception variety is somewhat sub-par (compared with other WiFi devices), but is well inside acceptable limits. It also has Bluetooth built-in, which use to attach a wireless keyboard (good contact: as quickly as you connect the wireless keyboard, the on-screen one disappears. Even nicer, most prevalent keyboard shortcuts function, and 'ESC' dismisses auto-completion. Annoyingly, the arrow keys often do not work to decide on an merchandise inside a pop-up menu)).

Customer Reviews About Apple iPad Tablet 64GB Wifi

I have invested much more than every week utilizing the iPad Tablet 64GB and have found a number of professionals and cons which must be considered before purchasing one.

Professionals: -

The opening and closing of applications is pretty quick making the gadget really responsive.

Observing YouTube video is pretty much better and clearer than on a Laptop or iMac. Sound from the speakers is only Okay, even so using headphones could be suggested. As 1 who has not the most effective eyesight, I've discovered the screen dimension and high quality far superior to that of the iPod or iPhone along with a whole good deal less complicated around the eyes. The visual quality whilst searching at photos is great. The iPad has freed me to complete the basic things I get pleasure from performing e.g. Facebook & internet browsing without tying up the family's iMac. This has undoubtedly lead to peace of mind in that quarter.

Cons: -

The device cannot have multiple applications running concurrently, therefore you cannot switch between them with any ease. The lack of Flash support has been considerably irritating and must be taken into consideration. As a business tool, the iPad need to not be considered a replacement of a notebook or laptop. A Computer, iMac or laptop would be far far more preferable. I have used an app called "DocsAnywhere" and imported files via iTunes, which I found useful. I was able to review stated files although traveling by train to a meeting. Of course, I also brought my laptop along for the journey. I would prefer to use the iPad to control syncing with iTunes instead than the other way around, other than having to change the settings in iTunes to forestall this happening. Battery life is as promised even though recharging is rather slow while connected to a Laptop or iMac, however recharging will halt if the parent machine goes into power down mode.

Probably the best thing about the iPad is that it makes use of the same battery technology that all Mac notebook computers have so it's powered with up to 10 hours of battery life.

Apple iPad Tablet Quick Review

For an amazing device, you can do no better than the Apple iPad Tablet. This Apple iPad tablet allows you to use internet anywhere there is wifi capability. There are 16 gigabytes, more than enough room for a countless amount of movies, or even a few series of your favorite television shows. Not to mention there is of course also plenty of room for all of your favorite music. I keep mine with me everyday, all day in fact as it is so easy to carry and so very portable. It's countless supply apps from it's "appstore" allow me to organize and better my life.

A lot of people I've known have thought that this device would just be another overgrown iTouch, but I have actually found it to be much more useful. These same skeptical people seem to say the opposite after they've actually purchased one. The faster processor allows for a fabulous web browsing experience that is better than any computer I have ever used. It's just so easy. The mail program on the device allows for a much simpler yet very powerful way of handling your email. The "Push" notification feature easily notifies you of each of your incoming messages making going to the actual web site to check your mail obsolete and a hassle only pertaining to your past. You don't even have to go into the actual app to know that you have a new message, it will show you how many new messages you've received in a red bubble on top of the actual app. If you insist on checking your mail the normal way you also always have that option available to you.

Besides the mail app, one of the greatest features of this product is that it has it's own electronic book store called iBooks. You can almost buy any book that comes to mind without having to drive a mile or have to move your sweet dairy air an inch. Whether your interested in the Bible or something more like Harry Potter, there are literally hours and hours of reading to go through. I personally find it amazing that you can read such a volume of books in such a small portable device. The best feature is that it self illuminates so that you can read in the dark without turning on any lights, making needing any unnecessary and bothersome external lights a thing of the past.

There are also the "games" aspect to this device. All the games that you may have previously played on the iTouch or iPhone will be available, except much larger, and in HD. I can guarantee that each and every game, for example, Angry Birds, is much more fun to play on the iPad vs. the iTouch. Bigger is better as they say.

I could go on forever as there are so many unique features but we haven't even touched upon the actual visuals of the device. It's sleek design looks classy, elegant, yet also down to earth making it a fit for almost anyway. As far as it's functionality, I can personally vouch that it is far smoother and far better than any other tablet out there on the market. Actually, as far as I'm concerned, any other tablet that is not an "Apple" tablet is an "off brand" tablet. That is how amazing this Apple iPad Tablet is.
