March 2 2011 iPad 2 event

Apple iPad 2 Event

Here is the video for the iPad 2 event today, March 2 2011

Where were you when Nothing Happened today?

Cisco — Tue, 16 Nov 2010 23:55:06 +0000

Unbelievable; Apple hyped an iTunes announcement targeting today for the past few days.

Beatles On iTunes. Really?????

Everyone was hoping for ITunes in the Cloud. But what do we get instead?

You can buy the Beatles Music Catalog on iTunes. Yawn.

The Beatles simply aren’t relevant anymore. So what if a few people who are living in the past want to download this music from iTunes. It’s ridiculous.

Most likely these people will have bought these albums in all of the prior formats including:

45’s
LP’s
8 Track
Audio Cassette
Laser Disk
Mini Compact Disk
Compact Disk or CDs

Now the last one is the kicker.

Why not just stick your Beatle Music CDs into the CD Rom slot in your Mac or PC and Import your Beatles Albums into iTunes. Then you can sync to your iPod, iPad or iPhone. Why spend more money to download this from iTunes. It’s insane.

This is just being hyped because the only one who will really benefit is Apple.

They have had a long running intellectual property battle with the Beatles Related company of Apple Corps Ltd. And being able to bring all of that to and end while potentially making even more money, is big news for Apple Inc.

It’s in Apple’s best interest to get the News Press excited with Hype like “Where were you when you heard…” that we were going to make more money today?

iOS 4.2 Beta 3 announced

Cisco — Wed, 13 Oct 2010 02:11:17 +0000

So I was pleasantly surprised to see an announcement in my developer email inbox for the release of iOS 4.2 Beta 3.

iOS 4.2 Beta 3 announced

I started to download it instantly.

I’ve already installed iOS Beta 4.2 releases 1 and 2. I was glad to have App. Folders and multitasking on my iPad. The beta releases have worked fairly well. The one glitch that I ran into was with the Netflix App.

It would select you movie and when you pressed “Watch Instantly” it would pause for a minute and “Crash Instantly”. Sometimes restarting the iPad and selecting a new movie would fix it. Sometimes not. But again, this was with the iOS 4.2 Beta releases.

So hopefully they, Apple and Netflix are getting this useful diagnostic information that they require and Netflix will work great when the the final version of iOS 4.2 is released.

-Update-

One way to fix NetFlix App. crashes, is to uninstall the application. Then, reinstall the application again.

You’ll have to reenter your credentials but that is a small price to pay to get NetFlix working on the iPad again.

iOS 4.2 Beta 3

They are working towards a November release date. One of the other noteworthy features included is Wireless Printing or AirPrint. It looks like there will be updates to the MacOS 10.6 Snow Leopard and iTunes 10 as well to support the printing feature. There will also be enhancements for Enterprise deployments and Accessibility Enhancements.

5 to 7 days for delivery of iPhone 4 in the States. 3 Weeks in Canada.

Cisco — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 16:54:19 +0000

The supply situation for iPhone 4s in the US is improving.

American iPhone 4 shoppers can expect to get their new iPhone 4 in as little as 5 to 7 business days.

I’m sure that placing that order and waiting for over a week must feel like an eternity waiting in anticipation for the package to arrive by courier.

So things are improving in the States in contract to the situation in Canada.

The ETA from order to delivery of your new phone is 3 weeks.

And White iPhone 4s are still unavailable. Imagine the prestige of walking around with one of those.

Analyst had reported that production increases in August would yield to larger supplies by now and this is proving true.

iPhone 4s are reportedly being made at a rate of 90 per minute or 137,000 per day.

Get your free case from Apple before it is too late.

Cisco — Fri, 24 Sep 2010 13:54:29 +0000

I just want to remind you that September 30th will bring the end of the free Case for your iPhone 4 program from Apple.

I got a free case from Apple about 2 days after I ordered from Apple.

http://www.apple.com/iphone/case-program/

What’s funny is that you get to install an App. on your iPhone in order to make the request for your case of Choice.

I ended up choosing the Bumper in Black.

Apple Free iPhone 4 Case Program

I guess this is a clever way for Apple to insure that you really had an iPhone 4 that was bought before the end of September and that you have only ordered one case. Yes, there is an App. for that.

There are various styles to choose from and not just Bumpers.

The bumper is nice because it has metal switches for sleep and the volume controls.

The one problem I had is that my AV Cable that I was using to listen to my iPhone in my car is too big for bumper 30 pin usb connector on the bottom of the iPhone when the Bumper is installed.
