6) iTunes

I’ve already covered the reason you do not have access to Flash but iPad and want to see movies, read books and listen to songs that both are promoted in the ads imply a rather large additional expense. Each rented movie amounts to € 4, a book can cost double or more, a song 1 €. How many movies do you like to see a month? How many books do you read? How many songs you downloaded for free on your computer forever? I let you do the math. And while you may spend 2 movies to iPhone, involves a process of reformatting every film that is often not worth it.

7) There is a laptop

While Apple tries to make us believe that the iPhone 2 can do nearly all our computing tasks it is certain that it is not. Although the iPhone 2 is useful to review the mail and update social networks, the truth is that far in performance and functionality to operate as a true laptop. Why do you think an iPhone 2 is available from 479 euros while a simple Macbook from 989 euros? And no, the difference is the keyboard.

In a non-Retinal Display has a screen

The screen of the iPhone 2 is still not the same as the one with the iPhone 4 so that you can not expect the same quality of image or the same quality of management. Experts say the iPad 3 (you know the rumors of the iPhone 3? ) does come with an optimized screen and better resolution, though of course still required for its arrival.

9) You can hardly use it on the street

Unless you like being a victim of theft it is certain that someone with an iPhone 2 in the street attracts the attention of thieves and walk with an iPhone 2 will be transformed into a victim of theft very easily. Are you willing to take that risk? Are you comfortable / to your iPhone without removing the street and using it in places where it could use the laptop? Not to mention that use the street Tabet also means you buy a 3G version of the same, increasing the price of 100 € for each version.

10) The competition is heating up

Although so far really iPad 2 had no major competitors because of the price that other manufacturers have launched their other tablets do not have the same philosophy of Apple to keep the same prices. By contrast, tend to fall over time. Thus, although a Samsung tablet now you about 600 euros, is more than likely see her in 6-7 months at half price. Just take a look at the Samsung Galaxy 7-inch tab. He left for about 8 months and its price was about 700 euros extra but right now you can find for 350 or less and over subsidized.

Now talk about 10 reasons why you should NOT buy an iPhone 2 (in 2 parts). And although Apple’s tablet we have all a little crazy with their advantages, the fact is that neither falls short of disadvantages.

Do not really need

Apple has a power over the users and makes us believe we need an iPhone 2, but the truth is that it is not. We lived well before the iPhone 2 and continue to live well after it. It is not necessary for our day to day and in many cases is completely useless.

Note that the Apple iPhone 2 is not a desktop computer with which I mean that there are many things that can not be done. The only use that has the iPhone 2 is to surf the Internet, check email, update your facebook and now and then watch a movie.

The camera is not a reason to buy

If you have not bought the original iPhone while waiting for Apple to encourage you to place a camera in your tablet and now you’ve decided you should have a camera because it is not true. The truth is that people who bought the iPhone 2 just use the camera if you use it once.

Not only because it is impractical to use a 10-inch gadget that is very uncomfortable but simply because the quality of it is very bad, especially when shooting photos where resolution of 0.93 megapixels reaches.

Still no Flash support

If you’re like me and you love watching your shows and movies free Megavideo I’m afraid you can not do with the iPhone 2, seeing forced to buy or rent the movies and TV shows from the iTunes store at prices starting at € 1 per chapter serial to 4 € per movie you rent. Continue Reading

The new iMac is full of great surprises, with each passing day we are discovering new characteristics of the new Apple computer. The new iMac comes with WIFI capable of speeds up to 450Mbps for wireless networks . This system was inaugurated earlier WIFI and the new MacBook Pro.

To achieve these figures Apple has changed the Airport card and installed 3 antennas , which is indispensable to simultaneously use 3 channels of 150Mbps.

To take full advantage of the 450Mbps data transfer need a base station (Airport Extreme or Time Capsule) and connect the base station using 802.11n mode at 5 GHz with dual-band mode simultaneously on.

Of course, the speed of real life varies depending on several conditions (interference, wireless reception, etc.).. In a test conducted by our colleagues HardMac, they were able to reach speeds of data transfer by 22Mbps wireless networking between a MacBook Pro and a base station.

In Spain, among other European countries, the launch will occur at the end of the month of April and be done with all models too, so hopefully soon there is any big announcement of operators that are already in negotiations to get the Apple iPad associated with a data plan, surely no traffic and no speed limit.

The European models, emerging in late April, prices have not yet defined. Also by then we will know what service to go with Apple iPad, since they likely do not have all the top in Europe, as can occur for example with downloading video content.

The concept of the cloud and networking is one that we’ll see in our review of the trends in 2009, but many are moving data to the network from our documents with services like Google Docs to music with Spotify.

Serves as the latter can make revenue from Apple with its iTunes Store will suffer. We talked about not having to buy music ever again, Continue Reading
