My Thoughts on Apple's iPad - The Beginning...

February 1, 2010 7:56 PM • by R. Look • Posted to iPad Comments (0) | Permalink

Unless you've been living under a rock, you know what the iPad is. Even more surprising, is that it's only been five days since Steve Jobs unveiled the iPad and already in that short span of time, there has been a lot of product analysis made by so-called industry pundits. At first glance, the iPad has been overlooked by casual observers as an oversized iPod Touch. By the same token, there are others that feel that the iPad represents Apple's vision of the future of computing.

Thoughts on iPad

January 29, 2010 8:20 AM • by iPhone News Blog Staff • Posted to Opinion Comments (0) | Permalink

After almost 2 years of speculation, Apple Inc released their first product in a new category called the iPad.

With so much hype and anticipation, it was almost impossible for Steve Jobs and company to fulfill everyones expectation of what this device could/should be. It wasn't very long before comparisons to other products began and folks started pointing out what they saw as shortcomings of the device. Voices from all over the interwebs quickly made comparisons to netbooks and others began calling it a "Bigger iPod Touch".

My New iPhone: 52 Simple Projects to Get You Started - Book Review

November 19, 2009 9:50 AM • by R. Look • Posted to Reviews Comments (0) | Permalink

I've never been a fan of reading books on any of Apple's devices. I mean I've owned desktops, laptops, and now an iPhone and till this book, I've never had to read a book on how to operate Apple's devices.

However, this book, "My New iPhone: 52 Projects for Every iPhone User" is unlike any other book that I've read and I think the format actually works for me.

My past experiences tell me that I learn best by doing and this book provides that in spades. The 500 pages guide readers through projects that are meaningful, fun and useful at the same time.

Not only does this book feature included applications but it also goes into some of the third party applications and that I found useful too....I really appreciated that this book was up to date (covering up to iPhone OS 3.0, if I'm not mistaken).
