Sink or Swim

Okay, so I’m still using iPhone 3GS. But who cares, right? Knowing that as soon as I purchase an iPhone4, that iPhone5 will just be around the corner. Apple really makes us do silly things such as spending huge amounts of money every year. But they can get away with it since everyone is just addicted to all things Apple.

According to rumors, the iPhone5 is set to be released this September 2011.

What is the reason behind releasing iPhone 5 in September?

Apple recently announced iOS 5 at WWDC 2011 which is packed with new cool features, including Android’s drop-down menu style notification.  iOS 5 will be released in the autumn, more specifically in  September. Furthermore, Apple brings new generation iPods and iPod Touches in September. However, according to CNET UK, iPods are not enough glamorous to bring iOS 5 into the world. iOS 5 and iPhone 5 both will be the perfect platforms for each other.

But what does iPhone5 have to offer that iPhone4 could not?

See the list of rumored features below from iphonestuffs4u.com

• Storage Capacity: Apple is offering 16 GB and 32GB iPhone since 2009, so apple is aware this it would be hard push iPhone 5 without having 64 GB of storage. iPhone 5’s lowest model will come with 32G of space and 64G of memory.

The world has reached the stage where technological advancements do not take years but only months. From huge electronics that takes up a lot of space now you can have the smallest and portable gadgets that you can carry around with ease. Needless to say, most procedures are now done electronically and paperless which is a good way to protect the environment.

Another good invention of this era is the term: wireless. It could be the internet connection, home appliance and even printers. Yes, wireless printers are a hot item in the market right now especially in an office setting where two or more people are in need of access to computer printers. Through wireless printing, the printer can be shared by multiple users and can be placed at a central location. No need for USB or disks, just click the Print button and the document will be ready in no time.

So for those who are still stuck with the traditional model, here are some of the reasons why you should make the switch:

At an office setting, this is a good way to save on equipment budget as you would only need one or two depending on the size of your company. It eliminates the need for each employee to have one printer thus it cuts back on overhead cost.

The space will be free from any cables, wires or clutter which means people can walk freely without having to go through a maze of cables. Lastly, it provides more room for other office equipment since most printers are compact in design.

Now that I finished comparing quotes for a floor stand for my company’s exhibit next month, I can spend the rest of my morning posting about these really cool iPhone Apps for Developers and Designers. Check them out below. iPhone app developers never cease to amaze me. Imagine how much you can do with a small gadget. I know I will feel disabled without my iPhone. For those who are always on the go or meeting a client, these apps will help you in working offsite.

I found a great discount online for a golf gps software this morning. Now I’m torn between checking out the cart or wait for more sales at our local mall this weekend. I still need to get a few portable disk drives too (for our macs so we can set up time machine) and hopefully, the much coveted wireless printer. My husband is even asking if I can get him a mighty mouse for his macbook. I had to put my foot down since both he and I know that a normal wireless mouse will do. This is why I really need to get huge discounts. One item is fine but when they add up, our credit cards will definitely take a beating.

Since I can’t blog about my new baby just yet, let me leave you with a photo of my setup at home. I’m really loving my Macbook Pro and don’t regret the switch. Now if only I could fix my HDMI connection, I could use my 22″ LCD monitor again. It just died a few weeks ago so I’ve been designing web sites in a small monitor.

Lately, I’ve been using scrapbook elements for designing web sites. It’s perfect for those who want out-of-the-box designs and provide a feel that they can touch something. WordPress themes with similar concept are also getting popular so I’ve decided to do a roundup of some of them. See below for what I found online. source

Just waiting for stocks now.

Boy, am I glad I waited. (Actually, I spent my budget for the Macbook Pro 2010 to buy a not so important girly item)

Up to 2x faster processors and 3x faster graphics.
Next-generation quad-core and dual-core Intel processors.

The 13-inch MacBook Pro now features a 2.3GHz Intel Core i5 processor or the fastest dual-core processor available — the 2.7GHz Intel Core i7. With Turbo Boost speeds up to 3.4GHz, these processors allow the 13-inch MacBook Pro to perform up to twice as fast as the previous generation.

I do hope this one won’t sleep through my fingers again.
