27″ iMacs get a fix, others get an iTunes update

8:36 pm in Apple, Displays, Software by Sina Hamedian

Those 27″ failing iMacs just got an update today that is supposedly supposed to fix the screen flickering that have plagued a majority of the users. Apple has even gone as far as to stop production of the iMacs while a fix is to be found. This follows another update that was supposed to fix screen flickering, but didn’t. So what’s new? This one is supposed to work.

In addition, there’s a iTunes update which makes sure that iTunes actually remembers your password when you told it to. The update also fixes a bunch of other sync and performance related issues, like recognizing your iPod when you connect it. In any light, both updates welcome several fixes to both the iMac and iTunes and can be downloaded right now.

Apple iPad officially announced

4:44 pm in Apple, Breaking, Displays, Tablet by Sina Hamedian

The most anticipated product for seven years – it’s here. More pictures, speculation and others from us below.

At first glance, the iPad (before you had a chance to see anything about it), you think “Holy cow, this will revolutionize everything” or “This is sexy!” Both might be true, but at it’s heart, it is just a 10″ iPod touch give or take 3G support. Internet on the tablet is remarkable, the iPod app is a significant improvement, you can have a wallpaper as your home screen background, and watch HD YouTube videos. But is that it? No. It also features Bluetooth 2.1, 802.11n out of the box support, a ebook reader, iPhone app compatibility, LED screen, Google Street View, 1Ghz Apple A4 processor, among others. What missing really take away from the device, however. No camera, multi-tasking, flash, or other stuff really take away from it.

But why should I go on any farther?

The pricing starts at $499 for a WiFi only 16GB version and goes to $829 for a unlocked 3G + WiFi capable 64GB version of the tablet, meaning you can pop in your SIM and start surfing the internets. In addition, AT&T will offer a no contract $20 per month internet service for the iPad.

On to the nitty and gritty.
