The New Apple Macbook Air


Well folks like i said in the last post i was going to try the apple way for the next chapter of my blog so here it is. I finally pulled the trigger and got my self a new 2013 Macbook Air. It does get some getting used to since all i have know is windows, first lets talk about build, the weight on this thing is awesome after picking up a Macbook pro and then having this its like night and day. The quality is great and I love the back lit keyboard.

Like i said everything is just a little different and takes some getting used. Took a little while to get me gmail hooked into the mail but now it is all up and running i have no issues. The track pad and scrolling is a tricky but you get used to it, the short cuts and gestures are cool and makes navigating on here super easy, the internet connection is great, battery life about 13 hours on a full charge, all apps and such are running great with no lag.

Well i have only had it for a day so more to come when i have put it through its paces. For anyone out there that has a macbook air what are some cool accessories out there that i can get for my new toy?? Cases, Bags, docks, stands let me know so i can check them out. Well Thanks guys you'll be hearing from me.

Switching from Android to Apple.


Ok Boys and girls, believe it or not i am really considering switching from Android to Apple. Lets rephrase, By the end of the year I will be getting rid of my PC getting a iMac and possibly getting an iPhone 5S or iPhone 6 which every one they have coming out. Now most of you that know me know that i have been a die hard advocate of Android but as Steve Jobs always said "It Just Works" and the more I do research on Apple products the more I like it.

Now i know that Android is all about the ability to have it how you want it and apple is not, but while doing my research i have found that if you jailbreak your iPhone you can have most of the things you have in android including widgets. So there goes that argument. The hardware from apple is awesome and the 27 iMac i see in my future looks great, multi gestures with the track pad, Fusion Drive which is a hybrid regular harddrive plus a SSD drive working together to seemlessly let often used applications be put onto the SSD part of the hard drive and then replace them as needed.

Now for all my movie and tv shows that I have and let me tell you I have alot on my harddrives, with the Apple TV3 and Itunes I can have all my media in one spot and stream it to an Apple TV which in the future i see 1 for each of my tv. Which means i can stream from any room.

Ok ok I know there are alot of non belivers out there and will think i am kidding but you stay tuned and see. I will be blogging about the transition from Windows to Mac and from Android to iPhone so let the games begin. Who knows I might be able to convert some of you Android guys after you see my set up.

Leave a comment on if you think i will be able to do it.

HTC One - The New One


Here come the newest addition the the HTC family the HTC One with a great Machined aluminium shell that incorporates polycarbonate accents.HTC even sourced custom-grade aluminum that's harder than what's found on the iPhone 5. In front are two aluminum bands (top and bottom) separated by a vast sheet of Gorilla Glass 2 covering a gorgeous 4.7-inch 1080p (468 dpi) Super LCD 3 display.Dont forget "Beats" audio on board too to give that stereo speaker sound.The back of the device is home to the main UltraPixel camera and a single LED flash.

The HTC One is powered by Qualcomm's newly minted quad-core 1.7GHz Snapdragon 600 paired with 2GB of LP-DDR2 RAM and 32 or 64GB of built-in storage,Wireless functionality includes WiFi a/ac/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0 with aptX, GPS / aGPS, NFC and DLNA.

Stateside, Sprint, AT&T and T-Mobile will also offer 4G versions of the fresh handset -- but none have mentioned pricing or availability, yet. Sorry Verizon you will have to keep the Droid DNA no HTC One for you guys.

Galaxy Note 8 Its here baby


Well as you all know I am loving my Galaxy Note 2 and i just heard some great news for Mobile World Congress in Barcelona that the rumored Galaxy Note 8 is indeed for real and will be released to the world some time in Q2. Here is the break down of the specs.1,280 x 800 TFT display, Exynos 4 Quad with 2GB RAM (clocked at 1.6GHz), TouchWiz-skinned Android Jelly Bean 4.1.2 OS, S Pen. I will carry mostly all the same features as the Galaxy Note 2 like multi screen and all the Spen fun, but they are adding a little extra with the Smart remote app which will get you program guide info on your tablet and even change the channel with the built in IR blaster.

Well i have been waiting for something like this for sure as i was contemplating on getting the Galaxy Note 10.1 but who what such a big thing now a days and with the iPad Mini you know this was coming and i love it, oh by the way they fixed a little issue I had with the Note too where the Spen would not work on the Menu and Back buttons on the phone now you can use the spen. Also it will be rocking a nice big battery at 4600 mAh my only gripe is that its not shipping with Android 4.2 it still has the 4.1.2 which i have on my Note and if its not coming with it when am i going to get it on my Note??

I guess only time will tell. Wow so many choices but we have to see how pricing goes and exactly when it will be available.So what is on your list to buy?? A new Windows 8 tablet?? iPad Mini?? Or something along the like of the Galaxy Note 8?? Leave a comment and let me know what you think.
