GADGETS AND SH!T
Microsoft is now going the personal route and might be getting a lot more users soon because of it. Nine new handsets were just revealed this morning by Steve Ballmer for the Windows Phone 7 Global Portfolio in New York City. Ballmer stated, "We focused in on the way real people use their phones...so you're in, out and back to life."
The new software is what's really new with its 'live tiles' look. Without too much nerd talk, the live tiles give the phone a more appealing look when streaming photos or contacts and other tasks rather than just using the individual applications.
Windows Phone has consistently tried to make interacting with a phone a unique and elegant design filled experience. With nine more handsets, looks like the company will have nine more ways to continue that tradition.
So you have a friend in town and you have no idea how to entertain them. Stress less and just download The New York Times Scoop iPhone app. The Scoop makes it easy without having to research anything ourselves. It gives you options for the best sifty fifty restaurants, top shelf bars, notable events and even where you can find the most scrumptious cup o' joe.
Now relax and go spend that saved time finding an outfit for the weekend's festivities.
Who says you can't still act like a kid once you've entered the real world? The scratch-n-scroll mousepad is just another version of doodling but for adults. Think you'll get in trouble? Get over it--your boss probably has one already.
No matter what kind of music you are into mixing or producing, there is no doubt that you will get a kick out of the Electronic Toy Museum Sound Library, which includes more than 14,000 samples and 1,000 presets of count 'em, 97 vintage musical toys from the 60's, 70's, and 80's --all in one single instrument!
This is one of the most unique sound libraries out right now. Sound samples from 97 vintage musical toys were recorded with state of the art preamps and microphones at 24 bits / 96khz quality. It feels like you actually own every single one of the toys!
The carefully edited creative samples in the collection are organized into 10 categories: Children, Developed, Drums & FX, Mini Sampler, Musical Toys, Organ Basic, Silly, Small, Speech & Style-o-phone.
This is a definite must have for music gurus. To find out more information or to purchase the Electronic Toy Museum Sound Library, click here.
Apparently those geniuses at Apple never sleep. Fresh off the release of the iPhone 4, Apple is already planning for a new mini iPad and the iPhone 5. Hopefully the iPhone 5 will resolve a lot of the antenna issues from the iPhone 4! Release is supposed to be early 2011!
The current iPad users of the world are probably still infatuated with their iPads. But this user will admit it is a little bulky when one is being sandwiched on the subway. The new iPad Mini is supposed to be 7 inches and should arrive in early 2011.
Some new iPods are coming down the pipeline too and should be released very soon. Most notably maybe a new iPod shuffle with a 1.7" touch screen.
