Sony’s New Cameras – SLT-A37 and the NEX-F3

The spring showers of cameras continues with two new entry-level Alpha models from Sony: the compact interchangeable-lens replacement to the E-mount Alpha NEX-C3, dubbed the NEX-F3, and the replacement for the A-mount SLT-A35, the A37. Along with the A37 comes a new A-mount lens that Sony will be offering as a kit, the 18-135mm f3.5-5.6.

Both cameras are based on the same 16-megapixel sensor and use the same generation of image-processing engine. So which one deserves your $600? It depends on what you need. The F3 is compact and relatively lightweight, but the A37 performs better and offers more direct-access controls.

Rumor: Mini iPad to cost $200

May10
2012 Leave a Comment Written by UnboxTechnology

A smaller version of the iPad will be less expensive and offer less storage than Apple’s full-sized model, but will have the same resolution, according to a new report. Citing a previously reliable source, iMore today adds to the handful of existing iPad mini rumors, with something a little different. They also speculate a very good chance of the “Mini iPad” becoming a reality and costing anywhere from $199-$250. On the lower end, that’s less than half the price of Apple’s current entry-level iPad model, and $150 to $200 less than the 16GB second-generation model that Apple still sells. That would also overlap with the pricing of Apple’s iPod Touch line, which starts out at $199 and tops out at $399 for the 64GB model.

iMore’s report adds two other interesting assertions. The first is that the device will only have 8GB of memory. That’s half the memory of the entry-level iPad, which has kept the same three storage configurations (16GB, 32GB, 64GB) since the first-generation model. Second, is that the screen will sport the same resolution as Apple’s latest iPad at 2,048 by 1,536 pixels.

That second detail is of particular interest given the notion that Apple would want to keep in step with what it calls “Retina Displays” on its iOS devices. These are displays where the pixels are so closely packed together that you cannot pick them out from one another when viewing the screen.

     Today we are going to talk about the Hardcandy Bubble Slider Soft Touch Case for the iPod Touch 4th Generation. I was able to try out this case for quite some time now, 

and it has been protecting the iPod Touch pretty well. This case comes in three different colors Black, Red and Pink. This case also retails for a whopping $53.99 at the MobileFun website but I am sure with little bit of research you can get this at a lower price.

PhantomSkinz: Apple Macbook Air Chromatics Wood Grains Series

May08
2012 Leave a Comment Written by iLuvgadgets77

  

     PhantomSkinz offer some really nice “High End Skins”. These wood grain series are made from textured PVC and accurately simulate wood grain and Carbon Fiber Weave.

     They are couple of varieties of colors to choose from in these series. Mahogany Wood, Sycamore Wood, Birds Eye Maple Wood, Oak Wood Brazilian Cherry and Black Metallic Wood.

Retails: Full Body $79.95, Standard $59.95, Top Only $39.95. Installation took some time to line up properly. So don’t rush with the install. Everything lined up perfectly and almost covered my entire Macbook Air. They did recommend to use the hair dryer but I did not have to go through that process, after the install all the corners and the sides stuck on pretty well. If you do run into the situation where the corners are sticking up than definitely go ahead use the hair dryer. 

     My overall thoughts! Talk about your macbook air looking sophisticated, elegant and sexy. I absolutely love this skin and my macbook air has a look that draws attention. The texture of the skin feels so real use like real wood. So I highly recommend this product without a doubt. Please go ahead and check out PhantomSkinz website for purchase.

Don’t worry if the update isn’t showing up, you will get it within 1-3 days. I will not be updating as I do not want to lose my beloved jailbreak. Once there is a live jailbreak, I will definitely be updating.

The New iPhone 5 Rumor Roundup

May06
2012 Leave a Comment Written by iLuvgadgets77

 We all know the new “iPhone 5″ or the “New iPhone” which ever one Apple decides on calling it is due in couple of months. What to expect well there are tons of speculations. Rumor has it that the New iPhone should be released in October.

 

     Lets talk about the hardware first. Liquid Metal is the commercial name given to an Amorphous Metal Alloy that is almost as strong as the strongest Titanium Alloys. Liquid Metal without at doubt is incredibly strong also means the material likes to bounce kind of like flubber, so my question is Liquid Metal on iPhone 5 is or not a good thing cause when your phone is dropped than more bounces and more chances of your screen to crack. Unless Apple decides on putting a Gorilla Glass in the New iPhone 5.

Bowers & Wilkins P5 Headphones Review

May04
2012 Leave a Comment Written by JTechApple

The Bowers & Wilkins P5 headphones offer a superior build quality, and a premium sound experience.  Starting out with the build quality, don’t let the looks fool you! The Bowers & Wilkins P5’s are made out of genuine New Zealand sheepskin leather (Available in Black & White); neodymium drivers, stainless steel cups, memory foam ear cups/headband, adding the fact that I did not find a single piece of plastic on this set of headphones.  Moving on to the comfort, the Bowers & Wilkins P5 is an on-ear style headphones giving you great background noise isolation along with comfort, featuring memory foam ear cups.  I did find them relatively comfortable at first, but started having sores on my ear after about 15 minutes, after quite a bit adjusting I managed to get the fit I wanted and didn’t experience any discomfort there on.  The sound quality at first didn’t impress me, but after about 30-40hrs of burn in, there was a noticeable difference in the audio quality.  From testing, I noticed clear highs, and balanced mid’s, but a lacking bass; going by Bowers & Wilkins “Concert For One” quote, overall I was satisfied with the sound quality considering these retail for $299. To conclude, I can definitely recommend the Bowers & Wilkins P5 for the amazing build quality, and a premium sound!
