iPad Mini Available for Pre-Order October 26

Tuesday October 23rd '12, 1:19 pm

Today, as expected, the iPad Mini was presented to the world at an Apple event in San Jose, CA. 
The newest and much anticipated member of the Apple family will be available for pre-order on October 26. 
The wifi-only version will ship on November 2 to quite the list of countries along with the US. The cell version will ship two weeks later and more countries will be added.

At $329 for the Wifi version, the iPad Mini is still more expensive than the $249 the Nexus 7 16GB sells for and which it will likely compete with.

Have a look at all the specs on the Apple website that was just updated with the iPad Mini information.

This new iPad addition will certainly be a huge hit this holiday season. No doubt the US Unlocked card holder will want to know how the iPad Mini can be theirs on November 2nd. 
To order Apple products from outside the US, you need to set up a US iTunes account according to the steps as described How to set up an iTunes account with US billing address.

However, in most cases Apple will not accept orders with freight forwarding addresses when it is a newly released product.
The very eager ones will be able to find the iPad Mini on Ebay or Amazon.

Not A Bad Apple in the Bunch

Friday March 9th '12, 3:31 pm

The Apple iPhone has become an almost societal necessity as we depend more and more on the millions of apps and accessories. With so many to choose from, it's hard to find the hottest tech items out there. Have no fear. These three iPhone accessories are guaranteed to blow your socks off and are not available anywhere outside the United States.

If you have these for your iPhone, you'll be one step ahead of everyone else on the tech scale, so grab your phone and get ready to plug in.

 PlugBug

If you're anything like us, then odds are you've got more than one Apple product sitting around your home or car. The iPhone is attached to you like an umbilical cord and your Macbook sits next to you in the car, lays on the table when you eat and you tuck it into bed at night. It can be a hassle trying to find a free outlet to charge both simultaneously. The PlugBug plugs into your Macbook and allows you to charge both the iPhone or iPod and the Macbook from the same outlet. How awesome is that? One outlet for charging two devices--the pinnacle of efficiency. This is a must-have for anyone that owns both an iPhone and Macbook.


How many times has the perfect opportunity for a YouTube video or picture come up, but it was ruined because you couldn't find a way to steady the camera on your phone? Sasquatch could have just crossed your path, but because you were so nervous, the only thing you caught was a fuzzy image that looks like a monkey playing hopscotch. The perfect picture will never be ruined again when you have the Gerber Steady Tool. On the surface, it looks like your standard Swiss Army knife, but along with staples like screwdrivers, blades and bottle opener, it also houses a small tripod and mount for your phone. This brand new technology can keep your pictures and videos stable for optimum quality.


Scosche flipCHARGE

The iPhone is a portable lifeline for business, entertainment and other applications, but it's also a battery hog. It can go dead right in the middle of an important conversation or while you're catching up on your favorite television show. You don't have to let low battery life cause you to lose an important client with the Scosche flipCharge. This portable charger can charge your iPhone up to 30 percent and your iPod up to 70 percent. It's the emergency power boost you need. This hot tech has a carabiner clip that lets you attach it to your belt loop or anything else nearby. Once depleted, it can be back up to full power by plugging it in for two and half hours. This is a must-have device for anyone who's suffered mishaps because of a dead iPhone or iPod battery.

Apple: Simply the Best!

Monday June 8th '09, 8:10 pm

While typing this post, I am still listening/watching the WWDC presentation in which Apple unveiled all their new products to the all developers attending the conference. Honestly, I am often annoyed with their strict regulations and rules, simply because they hinder me in serving my EU customers. But, I have got to give it to these guys: I am immensely impressed and amused at the same time watching this presentation. Everything they come up with and the way it is presented is just simply genius!

Some companies make very brave attempts in competing with Apple. Last weekend for example, Palm launched their Palm Pre. A smart phone about which the press rumors: 'Forget the iPhone'. It is to target the business customers. They sold out in all Sprint stores over one weekend as Palm had only managed to manufacture around 65,000 new phones. Today, Apple announces the launch of the iPhone 3GS, which looks the same as the 3G, BUT with all these cool features: video recording and editing, voice control, cut/copy/paste, shake to undo, search feature, compass AND tethering. Thethewhat? Tethering is a feature that I have been craving for, when you are in a public place and there is no wireless internet to hook your mac up to. I have tried frantically to activate the bluetooth feature on my iPhone to start a connection, but alas. The new 3GS will function as a modem for your iPhone. Yay!

Now, the other great thing is that people already owning the 3G do not have to throw their treasured phone in the garbage. They will be able to download the iPhone OS 3.0 software from iTunes and have the exact same iPhone as the 3GS! How great is that?! The new phone will be in AT&T and Apple stores on June 19th and can actually be reserved already. Two day earlier, on the 17th, existing users of the 3G will be able to download the OS 3.0 software. Personally, I can't wait! Do we still have to talk about the cost? I remember feeling a little nervous about making the purchase. The same night, while exploring the all the features and syncing all my stuff, I had already forgotten about the money. Wow, this phone had become my lifeline instantly. For those of you who are still hesitant: the new 3GS will start at $199, the 'old' 3G is available at $99 now. You would have to sign the two year AT&T agreement for that price. Without that agreement, the price goes up significantly.

Along the presentation of the new iPhone and OS software launched are the MacBook Pro family, available as of today in the Apples stores and at B&H. As well as Snow Leopard, the newest operating system, available in September for only $29.

The keywords across the board are: better, faster, more battery power more memory as well as greener.

The MacBook Pro's look extremely impressive and even though they are better and run on the new now Leopard operating system, some Books have even been lowered in price. Thumbs up for Apple. I truly enjoyed the presentation. I wish everyone happy shopping! Correction: A fellow commenter on this article: Buyer's Remorse: 5 Gadgets We Should Never Have Bought pointed out that with the OS 3.0 software the 3G is not upgraded fully into a 3GS. Your 3G won't have the same speed, no camera, no voice control and no compass.

Update: The OS 3.0 can be downloaded as of today 6/17. For more info on the exact features: The New iPhone Software is a Must-Have Upgrade.
