Macbook Air delays until launch of Lion

If I count the time right, a new version of Macbook Air should be released this summer or fall, or even now. But the latest source states that Macbook Air is going to be shipped with Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. Although the Macbooks you buy now can be upgraded to Lion with minimum to no cost. I think the strategy they are using is right because this way they can make sure that Mac users can adjust and move on to the latest software at the shortest time. No need for me to say the Macbook Air will be shipped with Intel Sandy Bridge processor..

             

iPhone 4S: Next Version of iPhone is not iPhone 5

It is this time of the year: New version of iPhone is coming out. But there are many rumors saying the next version of iPhone won't be iPhone 5. It will be what Apple did to iPhone 3GS, next one might be called iPhone 4S. By the way, it may not be released in June like Apple always does. It may be in September.

iPad 2 is shipped with the dual core A5 processor which allows the users to have better game experience and a boost in performance. iPhone 4S will be shipped with this processor as well. You will feel what I'm talking about here if you run some 3D games. Other updates include better camera, which is 8 megapixels, separate flashlight, more phone carriers, HSPA+ supports.

Some say it will have 4G LTE supports but some say it won't. Oh well. At least we know it'll be better. One thing to note that it's going to look exactly like iPhone 4 because they use the same case.

Macbook Air: Update with Thunderbolts in June

Apple is really keen on updating their products recently. Macbook Pro, iMac, now Macbook Air. I don't mention iPod or iPhone because the time they will be updating are unknown. It will be either June or September.

Macbook Pro and iMac have been updated with the new Intel Sandy Bridge and Thunderbolt. It will be no surprise if Macbook Air is going to do the same. The thunderbolt might be nothing since it's still kind of new. But the new CPU can definitely help a lot because Macbook Air is still shipped with Intel Core 2 Duo. 

If these loads of new stuffs are going to be packed into this thin and light device, ... wrong question. Are they going to be able to fit in that little box?

iMac: Improve 25% in performance

Recently, Apple releases new iMac updates. It includes 2 Thunderbolt ports, new storage options, and new Intel Sandy Bridge CPU. According to the benchmark, iMac has improved 25% in performance since 2010 and almost 3 times more since 2009.

iMac improving so much needs to thank to the upgrade of Intel Sandy Bridge. I was thinking that iMac might have improved as twice as last year because Macbook Pro is 2 times faster than the last year’s. The improvement in performance is expected but 25% is kind of below my expectations. Hmm. Come to think about it, I think Macbook Pro’s 2-time-evolvement blows everybody’s mind and it’s beyond our expectations. So 25% seems to be reasonable now.

At least it makes people feel safe if you want to upgrade to the latest iMac, even though I don’t see the point.

Mac OS X Lion: May release through App Store

The next generation of Mac OS X 10.7 Lion might be released in a way that’s different from others. It’s not going to be released using USB, or DVD like Windows 7. Instead. it will be released through App Store. For those people who are not familiar with App Store, App Store is a feature in Snow Leopard and you can download apps from it. It works like how you download apps for your iPhone and iPod Touch.

I think selling OS through internet is really clever. It saves a lot of trees from making boxes and covers. It saves the environment from making DVD’s. It certainly saves people time because you don’t need to go out and buy it. Everything’s on the internet. It really cooperates with the idea of cloud.
Is Windows 8 going to be like this?

iOS 4.3.3: JB available for new update that fixes location-tracking

Earlier, some users of iPod and iPhone have found out that their locations were being tracked and these sensitive information were stored in their computers through iTunes. Afterwards, Steven Jobs, the CEO of Apple, confirmed that it was just a bug instead of creating it intentionally. So now they release iOS 4.3.3 to fix this bug. I suggest you guys to update your iDevices and normally I would say don’t update if you are a jailbreaker but not today, because just like iOS 4.3.2, the bug the JB team uses is still there, which means you can still jailbreak your iPod Touch or iPhone even when it updates to iOS 4.3.3. But again, iPad 2 is still not included.

Here are the download links for redsn0w
Mac OS X: Link
Windows: Link

Here’s a tutorial for jailbreaking if you are new to this area. Although the video is JBing for iOS 4.3.1, but the process is the same.

Happy updating and jailbreaking~~

iMac: New ones coming with loads of features

iMac does update just the rumors that were going around in the past 2 weeks. The new iMacs have included:

• More Pixels mean beautiful pictures

  27-inch has 2560-by-1440
  both with 16:9 aspect ratio, the same HD TV
  
• Looking good with every angle
  Even if you are enjoying your picture from an angle, or side, the picture still looks the same.
  The maximum angle you can go is 178 degree. Almost no other screens can accomplish it.

• AMD Radeon graphic card give you the stunning visual enjoyment of all
