MacBook Air Project

MacBook Air Project

This is a pretty cool project built using a ‘broken’ MacBook Air, the new Magic Trackpad and a keyboard. It’s basically a computer inside the keyboad, just like the old C64, Spectrum or Amiga. Neat project!

iPhone 2G/3G/3GS/4 Speed Comparison

Here’s an interesting video featuring the four latest iPhone models (2G/3G/3GS/4) running a few different apps and tasks. The iPhone 4 is of course the fastest model and the difference in some of the tests compared to the iPhone 3G/2G is very big! (8.5 vs 25.7 seconds to load the Plants vs Zombies game).

The Magic Trackpad

The Magic Trackpad

Yes, this is a week old, but since I’ve been on vacation I’m just catching up a bit on the news. One of the coolest things that has been launched during the week got to be the the magic trackpad. It’s a small device that is placed next to your keyboard and will let you use multi-touch gestures on your desktop as well. It’s only $69 and you can buy one in your local Apple store or online.

Micro Sim Cutter for iPhone 4 / iPad

Micro Sim Cutter for iPhone 4

As you know the iPhone 4 is using the smaller ‘micro sim’ card and at least in Sweden it’s currently hard to get hold of these as iPhone (and iPad) are some of the first units that only can be used with the micro sim. But there’s a solution to that. By using a micro sim cutter you can convert your sim to a micro sim in just a few seconds. You can get the micro sim cutter for $25.

30 years of Apple computers in 2 minutes

This guy has made a short movie featuring all of his Apple computers – lots of them! It’s quite interesting to see how ugly they were at some point, especially the big, bulky beige ones.

iLounges iPhone 4 review

iLounges iPhone 4 review

Yeah, I know, lots of iPhone 4 postings the last few days – but it’s the most interesting gadget released on the market for quite some time. Here’s a nice 10 page review from iLounge and it’s a nice run-through of all the bells and whistles. It ain’t all good though since they gathered quite a big ‘cons’ list:

Cons: Smudge, scratch, and shatter issues await users who avoid cases. Antenna reception is more noticeably reduced under some conditions than on prior iPhones, particularly impeding cellular performance in certain indoor environments. Despite improved screen, user interface is only modestly improved from iPhone 3GS. Lowest capacity version feels cramped given video recording capabilities and release of high-resolution apps. High-resolution video output to monitors is confusingly limited; video calling is presently incompatible with even Apple’s own iChat application. Data consumption due to higher-resolution screen is ill-suited to lowest-end limited data service plans. Sole U.S. cellular data provider AT&T continues to provide inconsistent and sometimes poor service.
