The new iPod nano

The new nano is very successful for apple, the iPod was a brilliant invention from the start. The new nano can come equipped with 8 or 16 gig of memory. The iPod nano now comes with a radio and camera mostly for video. Many of people have wondered why apple has not put a camera on the iPod touch. As most people know, the iPod touch is very similar to the iPhone except you can not call people and you do not have a camera like the iPhone. The iPod touch makes you want an iPhone a lot, that is actually suppose to be the touch's job (to make you want the iPhone). If apple put a camera on an iPod touch it would become almost to much like the iPhone. The iPhone has a camera and the iPod touch does not, apple intense to keep it that way. Back on topic, the new nano has a radio which is very handy to have though the zune has had a radio for a while now, just because apple comes out with a radio on a nano its like O MY GOD A RADIO THATS AWSOME!!! The nano has a new feature (nike + ipod) which is very useful when running, probably the most efficient way to keep track of where you are and your time while running. The iPod still has music and videos that can be selected easier and more efficient also. The new nano has great software and hardware. The new nano is a great successes from a successful company.

Our are files really safe?

Why is it when we finish backing up precious photos, movies, and documents on to a disc or hard drive we still do not feel safe. As we all know, even if we treat a disc like gold it will eventually be scratched or become unreadable. To me, discs are temporary, when I back something up on a disc it is in my head that I have to back it up some where else. This statement does not just go for pc users but also mac users. Macs can have problems or hard drive failure too. When you back your files up on to a external hard drive you still shouldn't feel safe because hard drives can last for 10 years and they can last for 1 year, you just have to be prepared. Online backups such as Windows Live and Mobile Me are very handy and helpful, though Mobile Me is not free. Flash memory (flash drive or stick) tends be pretty reliable to, that does not mean it can not break. So remember, everything breaks eventually living or nonliving, and with computers, you just need to be prepared for it.

PC or Mac?

This is probably the biggest question people ask themselves before buying a computer. When you walk into a local store like Micro Center or Best Buy, you see Macs and PC's. Just because there is more or less of something does not make it better or worse. Just because the computer has plastic or aluminum covering does not make it better or worse. In the end it is what your needs are when on a computer. I can't say which one is better because I do not think one is better, apple and windows are both successful computer companies, it all depends on what your needs are. When at Best Buy or Micro Center you should just tell them your needs. Mostly if your a gamer though, PC, if your a video and picture editor mac is always a bit more user friendly with that. So which one is better, one is better based on an opinion, but in reality, the better one is the one that fits your needs

The MacBook Pro

The MacBook Pro tends to be in the middle of things. It now has three wonderful screen sizes and now has a new extreme battery that can last from 6-8 hours depending on the model. The MacBook Pro now has one aluminum outer covering with a backlit keyboard though I wish they added a keypad for the 17 inch, I guess they didn't because well its part of some signature of theirs. The MacBook Pro is a great laptop by a great company.

MacBook air

The macbook air might be apple's first mistake. Honestly there are few features, one usb and no disc drive. With an external drive all of your usb's are gone. Honestly who wants to carry around a hub. The only uses I found is for people that go on several business trips and give a lot of power points or keynotes. Plus just because its apple everyone hears about it, before the macbook air msi (a professional company like ibm) made one with 2 usb's and is just as thin. I would rather have a net book because it is still easily portable (like the air) yet a netbook has at least 2 to 3 usb's (unlike the air) and it has sound in and out (also unlike the macbook) so I would probably never recommend the macbook air to anyone. They may have made a laptop that is very thin and functional but until apple makes a laptop that is thin but can actually fit some peoples needs, I will never waste my money on an air an I hope you do not either.

The ipod touch

The ipod touch is an amazing ipod with more then a billion apps to try. It does everything from listening to music to checking e-mail (with internet connection of course). Though after using an ipod touch it only makes you want an iPhone more. The ipod touch now comes in 8, 32,and 64 gig of memory. I have the 16gig which seemed like a perfect size of memory for me. A friend of mine wants one, though with apps, photos, videos, and music 8gig is to small for him, yet he doesn't need 32 gig. Plus I really don't no many people that would need a 64 gig ipod touch unless your a DJ. But if you are a DJ you should just have a laptop with like a 500 gig hardrive for music. Back to the subject, the ipod touch possibly is the funnest ipod and mp3 player ever, I give it a pretty good rating and would definitely recommend it to many people.

White MacBook

The white macbook is a cheaper laptop model of apple, yet it is perfect for people that long for a mac and do basic things such as e-mail, manage pictures and videos, using word. It bothers allot of people that dirt shows up very easily, honestly if it bothers you so much just get the macbook pro for $200 more. In conclusion the white macbook is a perfect model for basic people that do basic things.
