iOS 5 and iCloud are coming

Yesterday, in WWDC, Apple showed us those great stuff.

iSpot Service Got Cancelled

Half year ago, when iSpot just came out, I got it and used for one month(see my previous blog). The reason I got is for traveling to get on Internet and use our iPod Touch and iPad on the road. Although the coverage is not that good for iSpot comparing AT&T Wireless and Verizon Wireless, it is working in big city.

I put iSpot on holding mode so I don't get charged of $25 every month. I was trying to reactivate it when I need it. Three days ago, I got my credit card bill and saw $25 charge from Clear regarding iSpot with big surprise! After calling and talking with clear, I learnt the holding only last 6 month. The service will be reactivated automatically. I haven't used 1 bit since last October and got this no refundable charge. Look like the only choice I have right now is to cancel the service. After a long waiting(20 minutes) on the phone with clear.com, I finally cancelled the service.

In last half year, the market has been changed a lot. There are a lot more choice other than iSpot.

Still Enjoy Our iPad (version 1)

We have this iPad version 1 for one year and still enjoy using it everyday.

We got some apps only for iPad in last year. These apps include 3 in iWork, GarageBand, Magic Piano and so on. It is really fun to use iPad.

We are using folders to organize and group applications. And we tried different ways to put apps in several screens: order by frequent of usage OR grouped by type of apps(such as put games in one screen).

iPad 2 is great!

I was there in the local Apple store to check out the iPad 2 on the first day. iPad 2 is great! I tried things with iPad 2 especially iMovie. Then, I brought my wife and tried iPad 2 on the weekend. She likes it. We are going to use/enjoy our iPad(version 1) for a while.

iPad 2 is here!

So glad to see Steve Jobs presented iPad 2, today.

iPad 2 got faster processor and graphics, light weight and thinner than iPad 1.
iPad 2 also got 2 cameras although they are not in high resolution

Very glad to see Smart Cover, New Digital AV Adapter, and Video mirroring.

With Video mirroring, we can see what we have in iPad screen on TV or monitor with Digital AV Adapter or VGA Adaptor.

iPad 2 Coming?

Apple on Wednesday sent an invitation to media inviting them to a special event on March 2 in San Francisco, Calif.

Why March 2? iPad 2nd and March 2nd both got 2nd. From this picture, we can see what is on the back: an iPad.

Apple iPhone 4 for Verizon is Here

Finally, iPhone 4 for Verizon can be ordered by everyone along with iPhone 4 for AT&T. During pre-order on Feb 3rd, the demand was very high so the pre-order had to be closed in less than 24 hours. Now, Apple Online Store and Verizon website are taking orders. iPhone 4 for Verizon will be available in WalMart starting tomorrow.

People already got their pre-ordered iPhone 4 for Verizon starting last weekend. They are saying "Verizon iPhone 4 has antenna ‘death grip’ problems, too".
