Who made “4″ the unlucky number?

Well, it has been nearly a week since I sold my iPhone 3G for an iPhone 4. I am not sure why all these articles are going around about the phones less than moderate reception, and “death grip”.  I have not had issues as of yet holding it in the lower left hand corner, nor worse reception than I had before with the 3G phone. I believe this is more of an AT&T network issue than of a hardware issue with the antenna.

I am thoroughly enjoying the phones new features. I believe I was a bit more paranoid after reading all the articles out there about the phones flaws. It could be just the congested areas of New york City and San Francisco that has network and reception issues which is causing the iPhone 4 to drop calls consistently however, that is my opinion.

Time will tell how well my phone will behave itself; crossing my fingers is the only thing that may be working at the moment.

I do believe this is a great device as much as its predecessors were.

WWDC 2009 thoughts…

WWDC was exciting to se what new stuff would appear in the upcoming months. I am particularly excited about 10.6 and some newer features. Expose on the Dock is gonna be great for me when I have many documents or photos open in Photoshop. I am also really happy to know that I will be getting back about 5 gigs of HD space as well.

The new iPhone was less exciting for me, yea ok, faster 3G and come cool new features but nothing that I will plan on running out to upgrade, especially since I do not have as much of an income as I did at Hempfield. I do have to say that Apple will take more of the cell phone market with offering the $99 dollar iPhone, that will most likely piss many of the other cell manufacturers off since they just released new smart phones.

I have mixed emotions about the rebranding of the laptops. I read an article on monday about “Pro” not meaning “Pro” anymore as it used to. To me the pro version of the laptops are those still that are “mobile powerhouses” that can do the work of a Desktop in a laptop form. The difference used to be that the pro level laptops had a dedicated video card that could handle the more graphic intense programs. The new 3 lower end models of the macbook pros do not have dedicated video cards. I hope consumers realize that they aren’t getting a pro level laptop at the lower cost. the pro level laptops are the 3 higher end models of the Macbook pro line. However, those consumers who dont plan on do much in FCP, or high end manipulation in photoshop, or audio editing in Logic Pro, then the 13″ is fine. They still are amazing machines, just not what a “pro” is looking for.
