It is so easy in this day and age for corporate rumblings to come up out of the woodworks. We are living in an economy where every business is fighting for its customers, and with this, competition is fierce amongst them. So when talk comes up about this or that company, when the company is big, Big Apple big, then people start to take those rumors seriously. And Apple is counting on it. What are the latest juices flowing out of the Apple mill. The first major rumor is an oversized, iPod Touch with 7” screen. Could this be Steve Jobs swan song? A netbook that’s more iPod and with a MacTablet flair tossed in? Now this could be truly exciting. Rumors have been around for nearly a decade about getting a Mac Tablet PC going, but with the latest netbook craze, and the iPod touch’s multi touch interface being patented for larger applications, an oversized iPod Touch netbook would surely set the mobile world on fire again. Then there’s the Mac mini meets Time capsule rumor which fanboys s could breathe new life into the Mini after rumor’s of it’s imminent demise and rumors of a comeback. Other rumors floating around are that Apple big wig Steve Jobs is out of his namesake, a job. We are also hearing that not only Steve Jobs is on deathwatch, but also the iMovie is as well. Rumors, rumors, rumors. One thing is for sure, with all these rumors going around, will MacWorld be anything but boring?

Another Acer Aspire about to Hit the Shelves

Due to its low price point, the computer brand of Acer has gotten a little bit of a bad reputation in the past, but they are working very hard to overcome this. Acer has grown up from being an awkward child on the playground to a pretty decent jock whom any mother would love to have their daughter date. After all, the Acer brand has grown by leaps and bounds over the years to end up as the third largest PC company in the world at the moment. This time round, they have unleashed yet another notebook for the masses, packing in some serious processing power to keep you entertained on-the-go after a long, hard day at work. The Acer Aspire 8930G-7665 notebook ain’t too shabby when it comes to design either, and offers a slew of specifications for the serious computer user. You will love the lightning fast Quad Mobile Processor, its 18.4” LCD Screen with resolution of 1920×1080, the 4 GB of Dual Channel Memory, integrated Crystal Eye Webcam, 6 in 1 Digital Media Card Reader, 802.11a/g/Draft-N Wi-Fi , and Blu-ray Disc/DVD-Super Multi double-layer drive just to name its top selling points. Judging by its specifications, the new quad-core mobile processor ought to offer more than enough firepower for all your productivity needs as well as times when you need to wind down after a long, hard day at the office by popping a Blu-ray movie inside. It’s also nice to see a dedicated video card thrown in for good measure - at least you don’t have to rely on irritating Web-based games to kill time, but if you’re going to spend some quality gaming time with the Aspire 8390G, then make sure you’re sitting near a power outlet or else the battery’s going to get drained real fast. And as you can imagine with specs like these, the price point will be around the $1800 mark, which puts Acer in its own league when it comes to offering computers that pack a punch. It’s not out yet, but keep an eye!

It’s a Watch AND a Cell Phone

Oh yes, we do like our all in one gadgets, and since the market is getting so saturated with this that and the other toy, the all in one market is booming so that you can combine all of your necessary gadgets without having to lug a bunch of stuff around. And though the practicality behind a watch and cell phone combination may be a little questionable, with most cell phones today coming with an on screen clock display, still, the LG GD 910 Watch Phone is pretty cool to cart around. The LG-GD910 is a watch that is a 3G-enabled mobile phone. It features a 1.4-inch touchscreen, and is about 0.6 inches thick. So the watch phone is nice and light and not too cumbersome to strap to your wrist and you can talk on the phone while checking out the time and still look like James Bond all the while you’re doing it. But it’s not just cool, it offers you a bunch of handy features as well.

The Poken Will Change the Way You Use Social Networking

Posted by Chrissie in Apple, Computers, Pe... | 12.29.2008 - 12:49 am

Today’s generation has with it the advantage of technology that will lead them to wonder the same things we once did. How on earth did the old fogies manage without these little gadgets? For us, we wondered about life before television, for today’s youth, how horrific must life have been before social networking? But social networking isn’t just for the youth anymore, and folks young and old are using it to connect with old mates, colleagues, and prospective business partners with the odd chum from third grade thrown in here and there. And with social networking sites popping up every day, it can be hard to keep track of the ones you want to, when you want to.

So along comes the Poken that will help keep things a little more organized for you. What exactly is Poken? Well, it is a key ring friendly USB device that will allow you to exchange important contact information in seconds flat. And pretty soon just about everyone that is involved with social networking will be carrying one or something just like it. It is kind of like a digital business card that you can keep on your key ring, and when you come across someone you want to exchange contact or social networking information with, you just need to pull out your Poken, and if they have one too, you can exchange immediately. RF technology is built right into the device, allowing for transferring details between Pokens, and so the next time that you log into your favourite Poken site, both of your profiles will be updated.

Ah yes, for the kid in all of us. It’s not just about Star Wars anymore. Space Invaders is one of those iconic items from our childhood that always leaves the warm and fuzzies. And now, you can enjoy those warm and fuzzies up close and personal with these new Space Invaders Headphones which are flying off the shelves as we speak.

But even though they look kind of cool, they do not offer a spectacular sound, but enough to do the trick for you.

An Earth Friendly MP3 Player

Posted by Chrissie in Apple, Computers, Pe... | 12.24.2008 - 9:23 am

In all honesty, this is not an attractive MP3 player but it is not being marketed for its prettiness, rather for its environmentally friendly factor. But yes it is a little bulky, and isn’t in the prettiest colors, in fact it doesn’t even look like an MP3 player, which may help you towards anti-theft protection. However, looks aside, the MP3 player quite obviously has one serious perk, it’s very earth friendly which is very chic in itself these days. To charge up the MP3 player you’ll have to wind it up and no batteries are required which is its key selling features. One minute of cranking it up equals out to fifteen to twenty minutes of music. But the wind up features offer you some additional perks as well. You could also utilize that charge to work the built-in flashlight or even use the mobile phone charger that’s also built into the little device.
