As I already wrote about some iPad’s applications (not to confuse with apps) as Point-of-Sale system at one of the California’s coffees shops, there are new and even more exciting projects surface.
One of them is installation by SoundMan Audio of iPad into truck’s dashboard as a multimedia centre. This idea is not new, there was a case (could not find original version from HardMac.com) when Mac Mini was installed into Audi.
Now would it be nice if Apple worked with some car manufacturers to incorporate this type of technology in the cars at production level. Kind of like the Sync system Microsoft has with Ford.
I knew even before iPad was released that it will find various applications in real world beside ‘big iPhone’ and book reader.
Here is one of the examples over at Sightglass Coffee Shop in San Francisco. Accompanied by Square headphone jack credit card appliance this business turned ‘big iPhone’ into point-of-sale system.
There will be even more opportunities to incorporate iPad into everyday life of not just business but also consumers. Can’t wait for 3G model…
I came across this interesting dock idea on Engadget. While there is nothing beyond nice computer rendring of this product, it is rumored to be release at China Sourcing fair happening sometime in April.
While it can charge your iPhone, you can also use it instead of crappy speakerphone and that knob adjusts volume, while mute button is on the top.
No info on pricing nor availability of this “Desk Phone Dock” available yet.
Well, I waited for 3 days. Rather than buying it from Apple store, I’ve decided to order one online and paid my price – received it only on Monday. Which now means that I would have to spend evening,rather than weekend, playing with it…
But at least it gave me opportunity to watch Tarantino’s ‘Inglourious Basterds’ – which BTW is another Tarantino’s masterpiece. Can’t wait for HD release now.
Yeah,yeah, last time alleged screenshots of upcoming Google OS aka Chrome OS cmae out, they shook the internet for 24 hours. Only next day, person who ‘leaked’ them admitted that they were photoshoped. Now, there is another set of Chrome OS screenshots emerged. Are these real?
Two members of our team were heading oversees, Russia to be exact, for couple of weeks and it was my responsibility to come up with solution for cheaper roaming. One of them was on Telus with World Blackberry while other had personal Fido phone. Telus roams fine in Russia, but bills are outrageous. Telus charges near $5 per minute.
My challenges were:
Find cost effective way to keep person with personal phone connected and eliminate need for reimbursement of personal expenses occurred on personal phone.
Find cost effective way for person with Blackberry to stay connected while maintaining existing number.
It is now only a matter of minutes until new iPhone would be presented to the world. It is still at the rumors stage, but it is quite obvious that it is happening.
Apple is having WWDC (WordlWide Developers’ Conference) on June 8 2009 at 10:00am PST Expectations are:
Snow Leopard [available at $29 to existing Leopard owners in September]
Possible notebooks update [Apple has just released updated 15" MacBook Pro - SD card slot, new battery - same as 17" ]
[Apple also updated MacBook - included same longer lasting battery as 17" MBPro, SD Card Slot]
I am quite excited about release of Snow Leopard and possible speed increase of my existing iMac. But what I am eager to see is iPhone.
Such passion to that announcement comes from the fact that my iPhone 3G which I had for almost a year, pack it last week. I am data-less and using my 3yr old Nokia 6103 with awkward typing on those numpad for text messaging and no data. I’ve tried accessing WAP browser, but it took couple of minutes to load Google page and I gave up on other.
What I am expecting from new iPhone? First thing is that will be available on Rogers/Fido networks in Canada the same time it is released in other countries. Be it immediately, next week or next month, I am waiting for it. As far as features, I was pretty happy with my existing phone. The only thing I wish Apple does change is iPhone’s back, it was too slippery. That back was the main reason my iPhone is dead now. It slipped out of my hands and fell hard on the ground. Read »
Last Monday I had to shoot interview with Anthony Sedlak for www.DiningReview.ca We’ve planned to utilize my existing camcorder and aquire additional for a backup shots and variable angles. As usually (please don’t blaim me) I’ve decided to use 14 days return policy from the big chain BestBuy, good thing they’ve had just what I needed. Read »
Last week has been eventful. After shooting various type of photos for over 7 years I’ve decided I want to practice and grow my portfolio of modeling, fashion and headshots. Not an easy task, I might add. If shooting nature, landscapes, city and architecture requires only camera, fashion and modeling requires… right – models. In [...]
Just arrived at F5-Expo at Vancouver Convention Center. I bet there will be hundreds tweets, blog posts especially about bumpy start of the expo. Running quickly to the office to grab stack of business cards I thought I would be late for conference kick-off scheduled. Update: Despite computer issues, F5-Staff decided to let everybody with [...]
I’ve neglected my blog for quite some time time now writing only one post per month, if that. With this post I’ve determined to write about all those things I have done in the past 6-9 months but haven’t shared yet. I’ve mentioned our new corporate Rogers Cell phone plans, but haven’t really talked about [...]

After shooting Anthony Sedlak at Eat! Vancouver show Friday night, I’ve imported footage from my Sanyo Xacti HD1010 into iMovie 09. I was so happy that by converting .mp4 files into .mov it actually reduces size by 50%. The truth was – it only imported half of the clip.

Well, everybody is buzzing about this, I might as well.
